  1. anyone take chemistry without college algebra and do good

    Student4_life replied to mom2twinsplus1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going with the hive on this one. I am taking my math classes now (super basic math and stats) but took chem last spring and did just fine (although I had friends in that class that really struggled...

    Student4_life replied to luvly189's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Congrats to you all for getting in, I hope I can be in your shoes for fall

  3. oh where's my luck?????

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

    Take charge of your own fate and apply to non-lottery based schools. Then luck is less of an issue (at least in

  4. How long does it take to become an RN?

    Student4_life replied to jessica91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The times can also be extended based on where you test in. Quite a few students have to take remedial classes because their highschool didn't prep them for

  5. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    First of all welcome to the forums and thanks for taking the plunge and starting a Fall 11 post. I am a bit nervous about applying too. Not sure why though. I have the grades and am confidant I'll do...

  6. Pre-Nursing Classes

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

    Hard Sci- 8 hours A&P, 4 hours Chem, 4 hours micro. "Fluff"-9 hours English, 9 hours humanities, 3 hours sociology, 3 hours gen psy, 3 hours human growth and development, 3 hours social science, 3...

  7. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    Student4_life replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its true that if you take classes at other schools they are seen as pass or fail, and are not used to calculate your GPA at the school you are attending. However, when you transfer or apply to another...

  8. Pre-Nursing Student in DC/VA area

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

    And I really doubt you can still apply for spring anywhere even if you had met all requirements as most of the schools here took spring applications back in Aug and

  9. Pre-Nursing Student in DC/VA area

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

    I am not sure if I follow your logic about saving money and going to Marymount, Trinity, Georgetown (3 year program) and CUA (3 year program), as those schools are super expensive. And as a state...

  10. Please don't judge me...I need advice please.

    Student4_life replied to layla100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sure the nursing school is going to "judge" you based on those F's. It's very much a schools market when it comes to the medical field and nursing is no different. With so many applicants, the...

  11. Freshman Anxiety

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

    Well since you are in Chicago, I am sure it's more who you know. But for those of us in less "connected" cities grades matter a great deal. Chem is one of the four science courses for most schools,...

  12. New to the nursing worl

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

    Very few schools accept U of P credits. But even if your nutrition, algebra, and humanities (those are the 3 that would be used in my program) are not counted for credit, the fact you took them and...

  13. Do you think this is too much to do?

    Student4_life replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah. I just caught the August bit. I guess if you get accepted then you have to take them both in summer I. It's doable, but you will be having one heck of a busy schedule. Please go on a vacation...

  14. Do you think this is too much to do?

    Student4_life replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It would be very manageable during the school year, but not during summer session. I took the A&P series during the summer and spent 2-4 hours a day in class (depending on how patient I was in...

  15. Young Single Mother taking pre-nursing classes...is this a good idea?

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

    Take the loan out for the first two years at a cc if you plan on going right to a bsn and are transferring from a cc to a 4 year. Not sure about your rates, but my cc tuition is 100/hr while the 4yr I...

  16. Young Single Mother taking pre-nursing classes...is this a good idea?

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

    Wow, telling people to cheat on the FASFA. People like you are the reason that we continue to spend so damn much on education and end up with so little. Christ her parents tax information will clearly...

  17. Which Biology is the easiest?

    Student4_life replied to kirsten8177's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess it depends on your school. I tutored BI101 and BI107 (nonsci and sci respectfully) and found that the 101 students had to learn alot, and I mean excessively massive amounts of very basic...

  18. Which Biology is the easiest?

    Student4_life replied to kirsten8177's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What ever one is the intro for bio majors. At my school it's 107 and in my opinion it is much easier then bio for arts majors as 107 is building you up to harder classes and assumes you already know...

  19. Young Single Mother taking pre-nursing classes...is this a good idea?

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

    It is not likely that she is eligible for a pell grant as she graduated in 08 and is single (under 25, not married and not a vet means she is a dependent). It's still worth it to fill out a fasfa, but...

  20. What Would You Do?

    Student4_life replied to Angelfire3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Howard is confusing as heck. I am in DMV too and decided not to even try at Howard after one of my PhD friends told me about their issues, so I know your pain. I thought the teas replaced the net,...

  21. What Would You Do?

    Student4_life replied to Angelfire3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you getting out of the TEAS? I wish I could just use my ACT scores instead of taking the TEAS. Not that I am opposed to taking it, and I am sure I will do fine, I just don't have time to spend...

  22. What Would You Do?

    Student4_life replied to Angelfire3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey you forgot about the scores right;) You could take both, but in my opinion the ACT is a better test as you have the ability to make educated guesses with out fear of losing points if you guess...

  23. What Would You Do?

    Student4_life replied to Angelfire3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take the ACT's if possible. You can guess with out penalty on the ACT's, and that makes them so much cooler than the SAT's. No matter what you have to get new scores, an 840 just isn't going...

  24. Your pre req gpa....

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

    First of all, please do not get discouraged by all the high GPA's posted in here. The nature of the question makes those with high GPA's post them and those that dont shy away. So the GPA's are skewed...

  25. schools that look at TEAS?

    Student4_life replied to worldonastrng's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Not sure of anyother schools that use the TEAS, but what GPA do you have to go with that
