Do not ever give up on yourself or your dreams! You can do this; one way or another... My cumulative GPA was a 3.16 and my certification GPA (prereq courses required for BSN) was 3.36. I just got my acceptance letter to VSU's Traditional BSN program for Fall 2010. I did pretty well on the TEAS (80something%), but all that they required was that I pass the national average. I didn't have to study too hard for it; I mostly just brushed up on conversions and measurements (and a little science). I had the ATI study guide and took the practice exam online. I don't have your research experience, volunteer hours, or shadowing hours so maybe at some of those schools it'll give you an edge. VSU bases it off of cert. GPA and passing the TEAS and that's it as far as I can tell. Good luck on getting into your program of choice!

Bethany, I got my acceptance letter for Fall 2010 today! Again, good luck to you! :) Sincerely, Michelle

Bethany, Our class basically has to learn it all on our own (review the really long modules and every site it links to, then take an exam each week--one for each module, and do at least 6 out of 16 lengthy discussions). I loved taking online classes before this one; I really wish this one had been in a classroom. It's so much information to try to absorb on your own. I am renting my Patho book from Chegg.com; it was cheaper for me and easier to do then buying/selling. :) This is my first experience with Chegg, but so far it has been a very positive one. These are our modules: Module 01: Genes and Genetic Diseases, Module 02: Altered Cellular and Tissue Biology, Module 03: Fluids and Electrolytes, Acids and Bases, Module 04: Innate Defenses: Inflammation, Module 05: Adaptive Immunity, Module 06: Hypersensitivities, Infection, and Immune Deficiencies, Module 07: Biology of Cancer and Tumor Spread, Module 08: Alterations of Neurologic Function, Module 09: Alterations of Hormonal Alterations, Module 10: Alterations of Hematologic Function, Module 11: Alterations of Cardiovascular Function, Module 12: Alterations of Pulmonary Function, Module 13: Alterations of Renal and Urinary Tract Function, Module 14: Alterations of the Reproductive Systems, Module 15: Alterations of Digestive Function, Module 16: Alterations of Musculoskeletal Function I did really well on the TEAS actually. You only have to do better than the national average to pass and that's all they ask you to do is pass. After that, they base admission off your certification GPA. -Michelle

Hello Bethany, I also attend VSU and am a Pre-Nursing student. I've applied for Fall 2010 and hope to hear back from them soon! I just transferred to VSU so I can't tell you anything about their A&P classes, but I am currently taking Chemistry II, Pathophysiology, and Microbiology. I would choose my professors carefully if I were you; I had no choice but to take the last spot in the last available classes because I had just transferred... The Microbiology teacher I am taking now is probably not as bad as everyone has made them out to be though, but we've just taken the first exam and I will find out how I did tomorrow. Chemistry II is going well for me so far, I believe, but you said you will hopefully be able to avoid taking that. Pathophysiology has been A LOT of work. :sstrs: I earned an A.S. in Early Childhood Education and an A.S. in Psychology at Darton before coming here; psych to nursing doesn't sound like such a big leap now, does it? Good luck and I hope we both make it in! :anpom: Sincerely, Michelle
