I took A&P II and Micro in the same semester and got As in both. If you don't work full time and have no children, you should have plenty of time to devote to studying. I don't see why it would be...
I have taken the majority of my classes online, including sciences (labs were on campus though), and it has worked well for me. I have about 60 credit hours, and I've made straight As. If you have...

Yes, this is exactly what I did. I needed A&P II and Micro, so I just applied to the LPN program instead and got in for Spring '09. I am finishing up those 2 classes this semester (along with some...

This admissions cycle, the points for students accepted into the ADN program were 47+ and 33+ for the LPN. From what I understand, there are far more applicants for the spring start program, so it's...
I didn't find it challenging as far the as the anatomy part goes, but the physiology part was a bit more complex than the bones and muscles. Still, I thought the nervous system was the most...
I did it earlier this year. I had a CNA class Monday - Friday from 9-3 and then my normal classes (including A&P, probability & statistics, psychology, and music appreciation) from 5-8 or 9...
I am probably in the minority, but I honestly prefer short answer and fill in the blank over multiple choice. I tend to confuse myself with multiple choice questions because I start overanalyzing all...

What about South Carolina? I go to Greenville Technical College (http://www.gvltec.edu) in upstate SC. GTC has a great nursing program and does not use a waiting list. Nursing classes start in spring,...

I took a CNA course earlier this year in addition to 4 other classes. It involved minimal studying/homework outside of class. I ended up with a 100 average. It was definitely far less demanding than...
I feel the same way. I have not struggled with any of my prereqs (or any college class for that matter). It is not uncommon for me to wait until the day of the test to even start studying, yet I still...
I use it. I look up ratings for my professors before signing up for their classes, and I also rate each instructor at the end of every term. Like others have said, though, I won't let a few bad...
It depends on your school. We are given a separate grade for lab and lecture at my school, but they are combined for an overall final grade in the class. The nursing program accepts the combined grade...
