    Don't worry about a B or two. The bulk of the entrance points come from your HESI A2 score. I also had a bachelor's when applying, but they don't take that into account. They only look at the test...

    Well, acceptance to the program is based completely on grades and your score for the HESI A2 entrance exam. So, I would recommend getting all A's and getting a great grade on your HESI. There is a...

    Yes, the A&P portion was definitely the hardest portion. I got 100 on all portions, then a 76 on A&P. It had been roughly five years since I had taken A&P also. In my opinion, there is...

    I e-mailed a professor about the book list and she sent me the following reply: "The books are cheaper if you buy them in a package which I don't think the bookstore has yet. Majors might have them....
