    strawberryluv replied to Mrsladysoul83's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I am also experiencing the same feelings as you. It is truly amazing to think that 4 semesters ago I was panicking and on my study grind taking my first college bio and chem classes....

    Has anyone gotten into nursing school with a low gpa?

    strawberryluv replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they are accepting transfers as well. Every semester we always have someone who fails the class so people are constantly being matriculated into the program as seats are

    strawberryluv replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I might take abnormal psychology this summer. I think its a 4 week course but it will cost $1000+ out-of-pocket so I'm not sure if I really want to take it. If I take in the fall I have to take with...

    Is chemistry hard?

    strawberryluv replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry was hard for me. I went to free tutoring sessions with a chem major more than 7 times a semester. I practiced the textbook problems at the end of the chapter over and over again until I got...

    strawberryluv replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Information overload!

    strawberryluv replied to Sarah812's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Prioritize. Print out a huge calender and tape it somewhere you will see every day. Write down all the due dates for projects/papers and the dates of exams. I find that when I write down everything...

    strawberryluv replied to mickeyxmita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really don't know what to tell you. What do you feel is right? Are you ready to juggle the responsibilities of being a student and mother? If it was up to me to decide I wouldn't have a baby. I'm...

    For those who took A&P

    strawberryluv replied to lanebr85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an A in A&P1. I really studied hard and smart for the grade to the point of neglecting my other courses last semester. I still pulled through with a 3.71 GPA for the Fall 2011 semester. I...

    Nursing school or ? ?

    strawberryluv replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not very sociable either and thats a problem because people usually regard me as passive and they stomp all over me just to make themselves feel better. I also never say no and do favors for my...

    Any Pre-Nursing students working full time or know anyone that is working full time?

    strawberryluv replied to babyv15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took 16 credit hours last semester and worked part-time. Its pretty easy to work part-time with a full load of classes. My friend, however, went to school full-time and worked full-time and she had...

    Anyone taken philosophy?

    strawberryluv replied to bigboi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a course called, Biomedical Ethics and it was honestly the most tedious class of my semester. The professor just went on-and-on about topics and how to think through them. It was a really...

    how important is GPA?

    strawberryluv replied to sourapril's topic in General Nursing

    GPA is important for grad school and for landing the job. I mean, if there are a stack of resumes with similar credentials and are all new grads how you do you think the HR person is going to separate...

    Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

    strawberryluv replied to UmmIdontknow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you are cut out for nursing. You shouldn't idealize the job just because it pays well and its respected. Its a lot of hard work to get into school and to stay in the school. If you need...

    Learning and Retention

    strawberryluv replied to mofomeat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah. Its pretty standard. There is just way too much information to register in such a small amount of time. My A&P teacher tests us 3 chapters at a time and as soon as we're done the exam, she...

    High School Student wanting to be a nurse!

    strawberryluv replied to tpanimeen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think those schools are great. If I were you I would choose whichever one of those are in my state because nursing education is the same everywhere so you might as well save your money by staying...

    Should I Take Chemistry?

    strawberryluv replied to babybaker09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is extremely important because it lays the foundation for A&P. I can't tell you how grateful I am for taking chem1 and chem2 before taking A&P because when the textbook talks about...

    college advice!?

    strawberryluv replied to dyslexicandetermined's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope. I got a cheap state school. Why go to a big shot university if I can get the same education at a cheaper price.

    "C" in prerequisite courses. WHAT TO DO?

    strawberryluv replied to moniquex0x0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't lose hope! You can do this. Maybe you can go to the professor's office hours and ask him/her what you can do to study more effectively for the next exam. Try to find other ways to learn the...

    Failing grades and withdrawals

    Anatomy and Physiology 1, C average??? Should I Withdrawl or continue??

    strawberryluv replied to foxycats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're getting a high C then I think you should consider withdrawing. For my nursing program though a C is good enough to stay in the program. Check with your school's nursing program policy about...
