I'm new to this thread and new to school. I'm in my early thirties and just started school in January. I'm doing my pre-reqs for maths general biology right now and am highly concerned. I'll be doing these math courses until next year b/c I've been out for so long. However, my Biology class if FULL of cellular study and many consider it a "weed out" course. I've heard that Delgado School of Nursing has hundreds of applicants and only about 30 spots to fill. I am trying to see how the grades are reviewed for entrance into the actual nursing program. A friend of mine has a daughter that completed the two year RN program at DCC but was unable to get into the nursing program. What are the criteria and what kind of GPA do I need to maintain. The test to get into the nursing school: what does that entail? Is it a general test or is it a specific test to things like Eukaryotic cells and Prokaryotes? I really need some info. I have a long way to go in my education and don't like this feeling of helplessness and uncertainty. Thanks for any support or suggestions you can give me. --Bri
