  1. Any BSN programs still accepting applications for SPRING 2011?

    mangopeach replied to jolie bebe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be very surprised if schools are still accepting apps for Spring 2011 - I start Spring 2011 for an ADN program and the deadline was back in May. The BSN programs that I considered had even...

  2. Should I take Anatomy and physiology 2 and microbiology together?

    mangopeach replied to RNinthemaking1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro now and I don't find it as challenging as A&P. I think its doable in the summer IMO. A&P II, I would take by itself. I would not take it with Micro. Your mileage may vary,...

  3. I didn't get into any BSN programs, but I got into the ADN programs...am I stupid?

    mangopeach replied to tatempole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mangopeach replied to jenhtdo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mangopeach replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Applied to Georgia Perimeter College ADN program

    mangopeach replied to onthisjourney4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! I start nursing classes @ GPC in January. Start studying for the TEAS. Once they evaluate your grades, they send you a letter to sit for the TEAS. So you'll have about a month to prepare....

  21. Should I retake A&P1?

    mangopeach replied to Angelitanecia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mangopeach replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
