  1. Basic Nursing Application Format? +Question About HESI

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

    It depends on the school really. My school does not ask for essays. Just basic info, and if you completed the pre-reqs needed to apply. Doesn't ask for work experience either. As for which test you...

  2. What is more difficult? AP or Microbilogy?

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

    Micro is a breeze to me compared to A&P. Not saying its easy as pie, nope, but I spent way way way more time studying for A&P than I'm doing for Micro. I'm half way through the semester of...

  3. Tips on listening to heart/lung sounds

    mangopeach replied to haleyanna19's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Any other recommendations for stethoscopes? I don't start nursing school till January, but I want to get a good one. That Littman 3100 is pricy! but if push came to shove, I guess I would bite the...

  4. Diploma vs Associates degree?

    mangopeach replied to antajshalakiag's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to tell you that I live in the ATL area and go to GPC and there is no waiting list here. Take your pre-reqs and apply. Of course you need strong GPA and decent TEAS score, but there is no...

  5. How competitive are CC's?

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

    I'm not sure I agree with that line of thinking. I start nursing classes Spring 2011, and although I have a high GPA- I'm going in very humbled, knowing that it means diddly squat when you start...

  6. GPC

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

    I go to GPC. Just got accepted for Spring 2011. This was my first time applying and I got accepted. I don't know about how hard it is to get in. Its competitive like most places. If you have a strong...

  7. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

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

    You know when I decided to do this, I had no idea what the process to get into nursing school was like. When I found out how long the entire process would take. It did make me pause for a minute and...

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

    Sometimes you just go with your gut. I only applied to one school too. Got in, so it worked

    Congratulations!!! See you on the other

  10. No sat score, no admissions! Non-traditional student

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

    Are there other programs in your area you can apply to that do not have this requirement? I've never heard of non traditional students being required to take SATs. (As a sidenote,Interesting thing...

  11. Micro Fall 2010

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

    Midterm Practical in lab today. Got a B, Woohoo! Ordinarily a B would have upset me but I barely studied so I'm

  12. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

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

    It really does depend on the school. Like I've seen some people here do Micro before they even do A&P. Not so at my school. A&P 1 and 2 are prereqs to Micro and as I mentioned before, there...

  13. Should pre-reqs really take 3 years to complete?

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

    Depends on the school, depends on your schedule, depends on how much of a load you want to take on. I did my pre-reqs in 2 years and that is with a prior associates degree, so I had a lot of the...

  14. Teas V scores and acceptance

    mangopeach replied to michelle0781's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like I said, I did not hear that from an advisor so I really don't know if this true or not. I don't think they eliminate retakers as a rule, but it might count against you when you are being compared...

  15. Teas V scores and acceptance

    mangopeach replied to michelle0781's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly I'm not sure how they break things down. I was just told that your scores need to fall in the range of Proficient to Exemplary. I don't know if and how they break things down after that....

  16. Micro Fall 2010

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

    Thanks Justbee - He drops the lowest lab report grade so I'm not too worried. It just sucks that he takes off all these ticky tack points for things that have nothing to do with material we are...

  17. Teas V scores and acceptance

    mangopeach replied to michelle0781's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    GPC requires that you score either Proficient,Advanced or Exemplary for consideration. Above your score, it tells you what you scored. I believe a 76% would be proficient. Good Luck!! Quite a few...

    mangopeach posted a topic in General Students

    Hello All, feels so good to finally be on this side! I got my acceptance letter last week for Spring 2011. I will be attending an ADN program and I can't wait to get started. So my question is, is...

  20. Is anatomy one of the toughest courses for nursing?

    mangopeach replied to Toots71506's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as pre-reqs, yes I found that A&P required the most study time. I'm taking micro now and it doesn't require anywhere near the same amount of time it took me to study for A&P. Chem also...

  21. In order to boost my gpa...

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

    Do the math over and do it by itself so you can put all your focus into it. I highly doubt that a D in math will get you into competitive programs. You've always got to remember that when it comes to...

  22. Applying Early.. not a good idea?

    mangopeach replied to KareBear0609's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school is different. My school says you can apply after completing A&P 1 but then goes on to say that it is preferred that you complete most of your pre-reqs before starting. You might as...

    mangopeach replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes I would definitely retake A&P, its hard to stand out in these competitive programs with Cs in

  25. Micro Fall 2010

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

    My lab prof is working my last nerve!!! He's taking of ticky tack points off of our lab reports that have nothing to do with knowing the material. He actually took out a ruler to measure someone's...
