  1. Do I still have a chance?

    purevintage replied to eminthesr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Never give up! Keep working hard and find a program that is right for you. Last time I checked a B- is still passing! It may not put you on the top of the list but you probably wont be counted out....

  2. Advice on which route to take? :D

    purevintage replied to Chireiyu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    purevintage replied to CordaeP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    purevintage replied to lalabean's topic in Michigan Nursing

    purevintage replied to unionnurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am also in a situation where I'm trying to raise my GPA, so maybe I can help. If you cannot retake the failing classes because they are not offered, consider simply taking NEW classes. If you take a...

    purevintage replied to pgray1229's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 27 now, and waiting for selective admission results for my community college's 2 year ADN program. If I make it, I'll start this year at 27, and be 29 when I graduate. After that I will take an...

    purevintage replied to lalabean's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I agree, the HHSC 1040 class is required before starting the nursing classes for the 2011-2012 start year. For the 2012-2013 start year, the nursing department has made the class part of the ranking...

    purevintage replied to KatieBaby88's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hi Tiffany That review book should do just fine. I used it for review before taking the Hesi in January. I was always good at math, but I hadn't taken a class since 2002 so I got kind of rusty... I...

    I have a 4.0 & 94. I'm happy that this program has no "wait list." The HHSC class goes over things like history of nursing, roles of nurses, cultural diversity, legal and ethical considerations,...
