  1. Pre-requisites

    Saysfaa replied to Bazi-preNursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with your husband because the required classes will give you all the foundation you need. I agree that chem gives a foundation for later classes but the lab doesn't add much as far as giving...

  2. NP vs. OT

    Saysfaa replied to Heidi.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um... grad school for OT has OT classes and grad school for nursing has nursing classes. Perhaps your advisor meant the science classes for OT and for NP are different at your school. They are the...

    Saysfaa replied to Heidi.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shadow each in several settings (for a minimum of 10 hours in each setting). Regularily volunteer where you can see each at work. Network/interview/seek out people who work in or with each or know...

  4. Do all A and P classes need a Bio pre requisite?

    Saysfaa replied to EmmKay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not all A & P classes require biology as a prereq. Most schools highly recommend taking the lab and lecture at the same time if they don't require it and often a lot of the instruction concerning...

  5. Should I take Chem or Biology?

    Saysfaa replied to bellebebe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chem. Not only will you be giving yourself more options later but I think the chem is more helpful in later classes

    Saysfaa replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. heads up, so much heart ache that could be avoided

    Saysfaa replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sigh, it didn't occur to me to look it up on my own. I will do so. I don't know if the prof is a member or fan of that organization. He says fairly often that he is not anti-drug for psychological...

  10. heads up, so much heart ache that could be avoided

    Saysfaa replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Saysfaa replied to rivershark2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. What does this mean (credit) - confused??

    Saysfaa replied to Novo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The evaluators care whether the courses cover the same things in the same way. They don't care what things the nursing department wants in a stats class. Nursing is big on "evidence based practices"...

  14. Do non related courses count in GPA when applying for a nursing program?

    Saysfaa replied to moisesflores8a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What Iwant to know is if those classes will be calculated in my GPA? All classes that are not dropped before the date to drop without a W on therecord are calculated into your overall GPA - some...

  15. First Statistics Exam

    Saysfaa replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Pre-College Req?

    Saysfaa replied to Faint's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are welcome. I'm not sure if we are just using different terms for the same thing or if we are saying different things. I'm not sure if you mean "associates program" to mean "nursing program". It...

  20. Pre-College Req?

    Saysfaa replied to Faint's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't need to take any high school classes. If you are under 18 you might need to take the California proficiency test (I'm don't know if that is the same as a GED or not) for the CA school. You...
