smoking on campus!! its a real problem at my school and I would imagine most schools...the student smokers congregate at the entranceway of all the buildings and the rest of us are forced to walk through all the second hand smoke bc we have to get into the building for class.

im suprised knowone has mentioned the online program at Excelsior? I believe if you have SOME nursing school done, you can transfer it and pursue their ADN degree...something to consider...

wow, I could have written your post! so many commonalities! Psychology is my 1st love but bottom line, a BA in Psych gets you nowhere and no $$. I would so love to counsel but it requires at least a Masters (lots of money invested) and after tons of research on a Masters in School Counseling, I learned there are no jobs to be had, its all political and the pay is only around $50k. Thats also the going salary for any other Counseling job w/a Masters. Thats not enough when Ill prob have a $600/mo student loan bill after I finish my Masters. I want Nursing school to work out but I am not grasping this format of testing AT ALL. I am struggling like crazy in the same way you are, came in w/a 3.9 GPA and am failing. Im not passionate about Nursing, not crazy about being around sick ppl in the hospital but Im doing it bc I like to help ppl #1 and I know if I hate one area of it, there are so many other areas of nursing to explore and lets be very honest, its a good salary for the time and tuition invested. I am in the same boat with you. Good luck!!

Im ready to give up. I failed another test. I have done what some have suggested and gone over tests during office hours. I feel like Im too overanalytical, at the time I can see the reasoning for at least 2 answers. Its awful. I am so bummed...:((

I am at a loss for words. I dont know what to do anymore. I came into the RN program with a 3.9 GPA. I am SHOCKED that I am on the verge of failing my 2nd semester of Nursing school. I study my class notes, Powerpoints, I have 4 NCLEX review books I study as well. I cannot pass the tests. I am begining to think it is my naturally 'overanalytical' mind that is keeping me from doing well on these tests. I think I overthink the answers. And if this is the case, how do I overcome that? As you know, these are not tests based on fact and one answer is right. I find it impossibe! What to do??? Any advice is appreciated!

nomad, how is the lab part included?? Im reading the catalog description on the website but it doesnt mention a lab portion

im looking for an online class called "pharmacology"

KNOWONE??

I wish I had researched my school a little better before I entered the program. They apparently have a HUGE fail out rate. Maybe thats why theyre not accredited?? I think they lost 12. In semester one, we lost about 10 people and semester 3 is supposively the killer when they are guaranteed to lose about 7 or so. Hate my program.

Sanddollar, my school requires the class and the lab? did you school require that as well and did the cconline.org satisfy that? how many credits was it?

wondering if anyone can recommend an online Microbiology class w/lab?

Wondering if anyone has taken Pharmacology online and could recommend one?

Im wondering how your school works....if you are in a 2 year RN program, how many times can you fail a semester before they kick you out of the program for good?

Im wondering if I can do an LPN degree online if I have my CNA license? does anyone know if this is a good idea? any reputable ones out there? do employers look at it the same as being in a classroom?

what happens if you fail out, come back a year later, pass and then fail out again the following semester? do you let you back in? how many times can you fail out and come back?
