  1. How competitive is it "really" to get into a Accelerated BSN?

    Cherry02 replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like others said, I think it mostly depends on where you are located. I got accepted to an ABSN program starting this fall with a 3.64....I did not have all A's in my prereqs (B in A&P I and was...

  2. Advice for getting into Nursing School (second career)

    Cherry02 replied to HesterPrynne123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know how it is in MA, but I think you have an excellent chance of getting into an ABSN program. I just got accepted to one starting this fall (not in MA, though), and my background is not...

  3. What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    Cherry02 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely A&P 2. A&P 1 is a close second. I love science, but I've never been so stressed out from a class before. Actually, I would say A&P makes every other class I have ever taken (and...

  4. I have to take six science classes before my application is due in janurary! help !

    Cherry02 replied to slove44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it is impossible to get those done before January...but, I would definitely think long and hard about taking chemistry, A&P, and microbiology all in the same semester...which is the...

  5. I have to take six science classes before my application is due in janurary! help !

    Cherry02 replied to slove44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't attempt to take those classes in less than 3 semesters...so I would definitely wait to apply for spring semester. I'd do nutrition and chem 1 in the summer, chem 2 and A&P 1 in the...

  6. I guess that door is closed:(

    Cherry02 replied to osdbmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not eligible for financial because of "timeframe" as well. I've had to pay for my prereqs out-of-pocket. However, I talked to someone in financial aid and they told me that if I get accepted into...

  7. Can a single mother survive on less than 20,000 per year?

    Cherry02 replied to ladyruth18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is pretty rare that someone would legitimately qualify for government benefits who didn't (desperately) need it. So if you qualify, go for it. Less than 20k/year would be very rough, if not...

  8. Microbiology online or class format?

    Cherry02 replied to Rendrag0915's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I normally love online classes, but microbiology is a VERY "hands-on" type of class. So I vote for the classroom setting...or maybe a combined online and classroom setting if that is an

  9. Math Pre-reqs for Nursing School

    Cherry02 replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never taken college algebra. My prior degree didn't require it and neither does the nursing program at my school. I have taken 2 different stats classes, though. The first one was just a basic...

  10. Attention! I need acceptance/ experience advice PLS

    Cherry02 replied to NeoNatMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    that isn't just offensive, but completely and utterly ignorant. i definitely would discourage you from being a

  11. A&P II and Micro in the summer - is it possible?

    Cherry02 replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you can do it and still have a few hours for the pool. :-) Good

  12. Taking Entrance Exam on the 29th, BUT.....

    Cherry02 replied to dream79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could always call the school to confirm the name of the test, but they provide that information on the school's website... Lake Area Tech! "2) Complete Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam The exam...

  13. Taking Entrance Exam on the 29th, BUT.....

    Cherry02 replied to dream79's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are asking, but the test is called "Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam." If you have the study guide, that should give you some indication as to what types...

  14. Is it a good idea to take Micro and A&P 1 in the same qtr?

    Cherry02 replied to mc0306's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know there are people that have done it successfully. I wanted to do that this past fall, but after talking to the nursing advisor and biology advisor, both recommended NOT doing it. So, I didn't. I...

  15. To take Micro or not??...

    Cherry02 replied to stigrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you were good with math 10 years ago, it will "click" with you again fairly quickly. However, it sounds like it will still be a pretty heavy workload regardless. If waiting to take micro...

  16. Second Degree Nursing

    Cherry02 replied to bremc18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know of a program you can transfer into and bypass prereqs. There might be programs that will let you take some of the classes that are typically prereqs after you are accepted into the...

  17. Lifespan Psy condensed to 3 wks?

    Cherry02 replied to melc0305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a 3-week course once...5 days a week, 4 hrs/day (obviously in person)...it was very easy and laid back. I also took Spanish 4 in 4 weeks (4 days a week, 4 hrs/day)...it pretty much consumed my...

  18. Has anyone taken two science coarses in one semester??

    Cherry02 replied to MrOptimistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that is do-able. I am taking A&P 2 and microbiology, but I don't have any other classes and only work 15-17 hrs a week. But I will be honest, it is still pretty tough...but not...

  19. A&P 2 or Micro

    Cherry02 replied to eagreen1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm...if you weren't taking it online, I'd probably choose microbiology. However, I think the microbio labs can be pretty fascinating...so if taking it later on means you will have the benefit of...

  20. Can anyone help me, please? BSN Admissions essay!

    Cherry02 replied to china.graves's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it would be a good idea to start with the story of the home invasion...I would confine it to a paragraph, if possible, since that isn't directly what the essay is about...but it is a good way...

  21. Question for those who have applied to nursing school

    Cherry02 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wondering if anyone knows...do schools typically send a letter letting you know they received your application materials? I am a little paranoid my application will get "lost." The day I handed...

  22. Applying to Multiple Schools

    Cherry02 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I applied to one nursing school this year...it is my first time applying. I don't have high hopes for being accepted, but I figured I might as well try. I noticed that some people apply to quite a...

  23. Applying to Multiple Schools

    Cherry02 replied to Cherry02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have checked prereqs for about 5-6 schools. There are probably a few I missed that have a reasonable commute (no more than an hour drive). I have a B.A., so I am hoping to get into an ABSN...

  24. Question for those who have applied to nursing school

    Cherry02 replied to Cherry02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the replies! I overheard a couple people talking, and one of them said their friend got a letter that said her application was received, but neither one of the people I heard talking had...

  25. Mom & Student

    Cherry02 replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know what you mean. I have 2 kids (3 and 7), and I also work 3 days a week and the other 4 days I have class (although I am only in 2 classes, but they are time-consuming--microbio and A&P 2)....
