Hi all! Thank you all for your help in advance. I really appreciate it! So, I am trying to figure out the best situation for me, and was wondering if any of you were in similar situations or have advice for me. I am graduating from Boston University...

I have a B.S in Health Science, and am currently in a BSN program :)

Hi Jessram! Oddly enough, I just graduated from BU, was a health science major myself with a nearly identical GPA and got into my top choice Nursing school (Regis College) so based simply on that, I think your chances are great!! My program really ap...

while I agree that the ADN may be more cost effective ( and don't get me wrong- they have incredible programs and make wonderful RNs), You should probably research around the hospitals near you and the future places you hope to search for a job. Many...

My suggestion would be to write them a letter of things you wish they would include about you, or give them a resume and physically highlight the lines you hope they address. Beforehand, I would try to meet with them after class/during office hours a...

I think its absolutely possible!!! Just remember the saying, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again! But you may just make it the first time around too:) I had a 3.0 when I applied to nursing school and was accepted. I had a C too ( though I w...

Hi all! I am starting nursing school this upcoming fall, and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for books that would teach me how to answer nursing/nclex exam type questions. I am coming from a science background, and much of my test takin...

wow, thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate all your help!

Hi Nurse-Mode-On, I have to agree with the others...Take it slower with these pre-reqs!!! I would NOT recommend taking A&P 1, and 2 and Micro in the same summer, because all 3 are so important to nursing, are large amounts of memorization and re...

The best advice I got was to be honest and sincere. They can tell if you are not being yourself, or saying things you think they would want to hear. I agree with the posts above that you should be prepared for those questions. I like the dress idea a...

Thank you so much for the advice!! I will look into those :)

First off, to Butterfly 0328: I am so sorry of all the things you are coping with. It is really admirable that you are still pursuing this path, and working hard. I really sincerely hope your life has some peace soon. I will definitely keep your son ...

First off, keep your head up! Where there is a will, there is a way! :) I know its easier said than done, but there are ways to help your situation... I would definitely retake microbio (granted you may face some issues with schools who dont allow re...

I think you should apply to ALL programs that interest you! Nursing school is very competitive these days, and having a nice list of schools is always helpful. Go to many different open houses or sessions if available and see which program appeals to...

I think if you got through Chem, you will find micro easier and (believe it or not) more fun! I didnt necessarily found the two subjects relatable, but micro definitely had more memorization, but most people in my class (including myself) found it fa...

I took physiology in the summer in a 6 week and it was definitely doable ( if you have to go this route) especially if you have already taken anatomy. However, given the choice, I think Micro is a great choice between the two, because, like others ha...

Thank you so much for your advice! Best of luck with it, and for the rest of your career! Its a lot of work but will be so rewarding:)

Hi LGD2011, I was just curious what community college you were completing chem 2, and how you are doing/did in it. I am completing it this summer as my final pre-req to nursing school and am slightly nervous, as I found gen chem challenging. Thanks f...

Thank you so much! Best of luck to you!!! :)

no worries! perhaps I will see you in class this summer! Im taking it at the bedford campus, if you are as well?? when you can PM, feel free to and best of luck!

Hi! No, I am attending Regis this fall, however need to complete my last chem, and decided I would take it there and just wanted some insight about the school/ chem class in general :)

did you take college chem 1 there at middlesex? Just curious, how do you plan to prepare for it? Thanks!

Hi Everyone! First off, congratulations to all your acceptances, and to those waiting, keep your heads up! I know this is a little off topic, but I am attending middlesex to complete one of my chemistry pre-reqs ( College chem 2 or che 132) and was ...

I am taking college chemistry 2 (che 132) here! Has anyone taken this course/ have any advice? Thanks in advance and best of luck with your careers!!
