Yes all rolled into one-well, a comprehensive Fund II exam and a comprehensive Hlth Assessment exam. But yes all those things.

I have a comprehensive health assessment final Wednesday (May 2nd). I've really struggled with the class and I'm two points away from failing. I've been giving it my all, but still its been a struggle. I'm at a loss as to how to study for the final since I'm so weak in all the areas of the class. I normally do flash cards. Should I stick with what I normally do or try a different method? Any suggestions, tips, words of encouragement are greatly appreciated.

I was confident, but I also had some doubts, and a lot of nerves! When I started nursing school I was constantly thinking the worst, and I had honestly never thought of just trying to think positive until a great professor of mine told me to simply "think positive". It really does help lol. I didn't think I would be able to remember all of the info and think critically, but I'm doing it. Nursing school is incredibly stressful and challenging, but it's also very rewarding. Bottom line, don't worry about being timid and sensitive. The timidness will go away in time, nursing school literally dragged me out of my shell, and the sensitivity will make you a better nurse. There are nurses out there who "eat their young" but I've seen classmates of mine who are very outgoing reduced to tears. It happens to everyone, regardless of how sensitive you are. I hope this helps!

Well one thing I'm curious about is applying for progression...what does that include? Is it difficult to progress to the next step?

Is there anyone on here that has been accepted into Milligan College's BSN program for Fall 2011?

Just as an update...I had a meeting with Milligan and was urged to apply for Fall 2011 and so I did. I got accepted into the nursing program. My cumulative GPA when I got accepted was 3.1, and my GPA for the current semester was 3.7. Since I finished up my summer classes my cumulative GPA went up to a 3.2. I just wanted to post this update because I was feeling so defeated after reading the replies to the post. I didn't feel like I had any chance at all to be a nurse, felt like I had completely blown it. Yes my GPA is low compared to some of the other nursing students that will be entering Fall 2011, but with Milligan College, staying in contact with your academic advisor and showing a genuine interest in the school and their nursing program will get you a long way, it's a way to stand out against the other applicants in a unique way. Oh, and the reason I ended up applying early is because a lot of the classes I thought I needed that were required to transfer actually weren't. Just to clear that up!

I know I need a much higher GPA, as I said in my post I still have 2 semesters before I apply.

I called Milligan today and sent them my transcript, the adviser I spoke with said she would review them and then she would call me and I would come in and we will make a schedule as far as classes I need to take ect. I think Milligan does their nursing school admissions a little different from other colleges. I can't be sure though because the link to the handbook is broken :/ thanks for all the replies. I'm definitely going to look into retaking A&P 1 although the thought of it makes me want to pull my hair out. I still have my book so at least I wouldn't have to buy another one.

I'm a pre nursing student finishing up my pre reqs for nursing school. I'll be applying Spring of 2012. I am terrified of not getting in. As of now my GPA is only a 2.895 but I still have two full semesters to go before I apply. I have a C in A&P 1 and a B in A&P 2. I haven't taken Micro yet, I'm taking it next fall. I'll have a B in Probability and Statistics. To make it short I've gotten all A's and B's since I started back to college, for a while I lost focus and that's why my GPA is so low. Do I even have a chance? Is there anything I can do outside of academics to up my chances of getting in? I'm in East TN, and I'll be applying to Milligan College. I can't find any information on what the GPA cutoff is for their program.
