TCLA

I'm getting ready to go to college in the Fall. I am a little nervous about the pre-reqs and nursing school its self. At my school i have to the Organic Chemistry, and I was wondering if this was like the O-Chem you would take in Med School, or is it just an introduction? I also have to the Statistics, but I am horrible at math, is statistics really hard? In you opinion what was the toughest part of of NS and what was the toughest class you had to take for your pre-reqs in your opinion? I have a passion for Anatomy and Physiology and i excel in that subject--do you have to be a Math wiz as well to do well in NS? the other class im worried about is the chemistry's....how are these classes? and if you have any tips please don't hesitate to post them! thanks!

Thanks so much! i was hoping you'd say A&P b/c im taking that class now and I absolutely LOVE it! i have 103% right now in that class, so i dont think that'll be a problem in College. only the chemistry's and math's are my biggest worry.

Hello, I'm currently a Senior in High School & I Plan to major in Nursing. I just have a quick question: What are the pre-nursing classes like? Which did you find the hardest & is the math really complicated?

I have a few questions about nursing school & classes" I am currently a senior in high school and i want to get my BSN. I get fairly good grades, i have a 3.0 but idid horrible on my ACT, i only got a 17. my questions are: 1. do nursing schools look at your ACTscores & high School grades? or are they just worried about your pre-reqs? If i cannot get into a university with my ACT score i plan on attending a community college then transferring to a univ's.BSN program. the community colleges i want to attend are: Santa monica or Pasadena City College. and then transfer to one of this univ's. i picked which were Cal state long beach, cal state los angeles, or azusa pacific. 2. i am really confused on how to do the community college transfer thing. do i just find the pre-reqs needed @ one of the univs. i want to attend and then show that too one of the guidance councelor's @ the community college and they will place me in the right classes to complete my pre-reqs? Im just really confised & my guidance councelor at my high school is no help at all, everytime i ask her a question all she says is to search it on google. so i need someone to make this step very clear too me. 3. and i noticed that some pre-reqs are organic chem is this organic chem like BASIC organic chem class or is it the real deal, like you'd take in med school? i want to attend college in california, as an out of state student ( i live in ohio) and all this is just so confusing!! i planned on getting my Accociates degree then doing the bridge program to my BSN but i heard that all hospitals in california require a BSN. is this true?

GREAT response, thanks!

I thought nurses were "in VERY hightdemand"?

I am currently a Senior in High-School, and my dream is to become a nurse. I'm still debating whether to go and just my Associates in Nursing, or go and get my Bachelors. I was talking to my friend's mom, and she was saying that some hospitals in California (This is where I plan on going for Nursing School & live once graduated) it is mandatory to have a Bachelors degree in nursing in order to work @ some hospitals- She isn't a nurse, so I don't know how accurate this could be. Also, I thought all a Bachelor degree does is make you applicable to go into management. Another thing, if i go and get my Associates degree, and graduate, will i be able to go back to school again for another 2 years if i wanted to get my BSN? another thing, if i decide to get my BSN do you think its a good idea to go to a community college to get my pre-reqs out of the way then transfer to a univ for the nursing school part? I am not really interested in a management position as a nurse so should i even get my BSN?? thank you!!!!

i was wondering if anyyone can provide info on some nursing schools in southerncalifornia. i cannot find the requirements for any of these school all i find is the minimum GPA needed to be accepted. I was wondering if anyone can tell me the courses needed to get accepted, gpa,and other stuff. i cannot seem to find this info on any of their sites. the schools are; Azusa Pacific University Loma Linda Calstate Long Beach & can you list anymore that you may know that are in the SOUTHERN california area?? Thanks! oh and whats "accelerated program" I seen 4-year bsn program then i see accelerated bsn program, whats the difference, whats better?

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I am currently a Junior in High School, and I am starting to look at Colleges. My plans are as follows: 1) Plan to attend a College in Southern California, sometihng like SMC (Santa Monica Community College) 2) I plan to take my BSN Pre-REqs here, ( I want to become an RN) And after i finish those Pre-Reqs i wanna go to Long Beach Uni. for their Nursing Program (BSN), I have two questions: 1) Is this a good path that im taking?? like going to a commu. college for my pre reqs then transfer to Long beach for the BSN program 2) What are some good Community colleges in Southern California, is SMC a good one if i want to take my nursing pre reqs? What are your suggestions on community colleges? I want it to be in southern california, or near Paso Robles california. htnaks!!!!! Also, how do i get certain university/communitycolleges/nursing program in california to sedn me info on their nursing pregram and or school. Thanks (pref. Long beach & SMC)

I was wondering of anyone on here can give me a list of California schools that offer a bsn degree. I was also wonderinging if it was possible for me to attend a community college to take my pre-reqs and then transfer to a 4 year university to go to the bsn program. Or how does that whole process work!or is the bsn program apart of the nursing program? How does this work! I'm so confused ! Thanks for your help!

i want to prepair my self for nursing school early, i was wondering if there are any nursing books orwhat not that can put me in the mode of "thinking critically like a nurse" and just a good source that will get me in this critical state of mind some what and prepair me for the material a little bit.

I was wondering what nursing school is like. Is it jam packed with info so you have to study 24/7? I heard that they gve to much info for you to learn in one setting, is this true? Waht do you find hard abaout Nrsing school academically? What should i be preraired for?

I have a question, I am currently in 11th grade, and my plans are to become an RN. I was wondering if you need any algebras at all in nursing school or prereqs for nursing school or on the acual floor. I am terrible at math, i take the lowest math classes at my HS as possible, i still have not taken ALgebra 2, and dont plan on it because i dont think i can pass it, im barly passing this algrbra i am in now..i have a C....my math teacher says its not even alg 2 that im in its lower... i was wondering if the college i attend will make me take alg 2 in college. If they do, will nursing schools look at this grade? or do they only take the grades that are theirr pre reqs into consideration? Should i take alg 2 my senior year??

I was wondering as a traveling nurse, do you travel all around the country? Or do you just travel in the state you live? If not, are you able to make it so you can just travel in your state? Also, how do you become one? After you graduate nursing school, what do you do? I would like to be a traveling nurse, but i dont wanna be out of my state all the time. I live in Southern California, how much do Travel RN's make here? Main question is, if i can just travel within the state I live or near my city ( like travel to different hospitals and what not)
