    Student4_life replied to okiedokie123's topic in General Students

    Didn't use pearson, but I found out that there were only two test dates I could take before my winter vacation. The first one was in 15 hours and the second a week later during my finals. I signed up...

  2. Should I even Apply

    Student4_life replied to RaeFwTX's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your GPA meets the min req to apply then apply. Although it is true that the average is much greater than the min, the school would set it's min higher if that's only what it is looking for....

    Student4_life replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Going for ADN - take BSN courses now or later?

    Student4_life replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Could someone please explain this to me..

    Student4_life replied to Melissa825's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not that your scores aren't great, just that theirs are better. The schools get their pick, and since they are graded on their NCLEX pass rates they are going to pick the very best applicants....

  7. Could someone please explain this to me..

    Student4_life replied to Melissa825's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are being compared against a moving rubric (the other applicants). This cycle there may have been a large amount of applicants that outranked you, thus the minimum req would have risen. This is...

  8. How bad is an "F" for a science course

    Student4_life replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's better to get the c and figure out how to pay to retake the class than to fail it on purpose to get fin aid to pay for it. Alot if schools average your two attempts and getting a c gives you some...

  9. How Does This Schedule Look?

    Student4_life replied to Jingles39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Student4_life replied to claudiabor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.grossmont.edu/nursing/TEAS%20Testing.asp I took a second look at your schools program and I dont think that you are going to be able to get in there with a zero score for your TEAS. I like...

  13. Crashed and burned with my CC's placement test

    Student4_life replied to Jingles39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Better to take the remedials and get good grades in all your classes than skip them, struggle to get B's and C's and not make it into your Nursing Program. I took basic biology and intro chem...

  14. I have bad grades, but for good reasons and want to go to nursing school.

    Student4_life replied to chanticleer's topic in General Students

    Your options are limited for sure, but the door is never closed. You have a good plan with taking pre-reqs and repeating courses, but realize that there are multiple approaches schools take on...

  15. Wish me luck!

    Student4_life replied to nccna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally feel you on the Grades OCD, but I really envy your school going just off GPA. Trying to come up with my application essay is keeping me from studying for my finals. And the worst thing is...

  17. Prerequisites at CC or University for ABSN?

    Student4_life replied to tonyv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. how does the grading system work at your college?

    Student4_life replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The real question is how the admitting schools compare GPA's from a school with a +/- system and one w/o. I am not sure it balances out. Nor am I sure who has the advantage (not counting rutguers and...

  21. Help me please

    Student4_life replied to KaBooMx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why did you do poorly in the summer? No one will be able to give you adequate advice until you tell us why you didn't do so well. Was it the speed of the course? Was it lab? Was it lecture? Was it...
