I dont think that they look at midterm grades. What matters is your pre-req GPA for when you submit your application. If you didnt finish ALL your pre-reqs when you submit your application, you must be enrolled in all those last classes the semester before you are to be in the program and pass them. They usually dont factor in those grades during your application because you dont have any grades for them yet, what matters is what you have when you submit your application. A 3.6 is a good grade, but the traditional program is more competitive than the others and you might want to call in and ask them what was the cut off for that type of program. Good luck, ok.

Im sorry about the news. Which state are you in? I've noticed that some states have programs that are more competitive than others.

I got my acceptance letter today too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I used to be at this nursing school I had this one clinical instructor who told me "I will do whatever it takes to make sure you dont pass this class" and got her wish. Absolutely, but Im tryin to go back to nursing school at a different school, and my saying is "I will do whatever it takes to make sure history doesnt repeat itself!"

Congrats! I am so happy for you!!!

Well, all i can say is you got to find some inner strength within yourself and realize how far you have come and how far you can go from this point. Everyone needs improvement in something, nobody is perfect. You can do it, just believe in yourself. Confidence plays a lot in how you make things for yourself. As that sayin goes, if you think you can, you can, if you dont think you can, then you cant.

I think everyone is a bit worried to some degree, but where there is a will there is a way, regardless.

Go back and review your a&p, if you understand the body systems, it should help a bit with the nursing interventions to make more sense.

Not exactly sure as to how to help, but I think this MIGHT help you. I know its a nursing course, BUT what about getting someone who is good in biology to help you. Like someone who is good in a&p stuff, I think that if you get the a&p really good, it should help you to answer some of the questions better and make the nursing interventions make more sense. Yet, still talk to your teacher or someone who is passing the course.

Yeah cause I took this nutrition course called Human nutrition and when I tried to see if it could count as my nutrition at this other school, they didnt accept it because they wanted "human nutrition and diet therapy." LOL! Some schools can get technical and some are more flexible, so thats why I think you should talk to an advisor or better yet, go to your department and see what they will say, maybe they can do a course substitution or something. :)

Sorryyou didnt do as well on your exam as you hoped, but like you said least, he drops that grade! Lol! Im a little anxious about my lab quiz that I took yesterday because we had to now all of these bones and I hope I got the spelling right because its marked wrong if you dont spell the bones right. LOL! I hope some day we all look back at these times and laugh and say," it was hard, but I made it through it all!" LOL!

You should speak to an advisor, they could answer your question better than anyone off the boards because each school is different. Some schools will and some wont; depends on the school.

Well, maybe you could look into applying into another nursing school where your GPA is acceptable. There is always more than one nursing school. Still work hard to bring your grades up though! You can choose to go the LPN route, but you'd still have to take BSN courses once you finish, if you want a BSN. :) Good luck!

1. Put your trust in God 2. Study in short bursts. study for a few minutes and then take breaks in between. You remember the first and last things you study, so if you study in short bursts, you'll retain more vs trying to study it all at once and dont remember a huge chunk of material. 3. You can go to tutoring for help if you dont understand the material, schools usually offer this for free. Trust me, it helps 4. You can bring a tape recorder to class and record the lectures 5. Study it till you feel you could teach it to another person. For some of these materials I have to write them down 10 times, yeah its tedious, but oh well, at least I can say I remember it after doing that. LOL! 6. Go to your teacher and see if you can both go over the materials before the test or go over your past tests to see WHY you got the answers wrong. You need to know WHY things function.

I suggest that you take a deep breath and pray for a passing grade. I was in the same boat today with a test and was the last person to turn my test in and I felt like crying and like my dreams were slipping away, but the teacher posted the grades and I found out that I passed and did better than I thought, thanks to GOD. Wait until you get your results; you might have done better than you think. When I was taking my test, I sure as heck didnt think I would even get half right and I did well. Have faith and believe in yourself .
