1. Micro biology vs A&P difficulty?

   x_factor replied to LaceElaine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm taking Micro and A&P this semester, and to me there's no comparison: Micro has been MUCH easier. It's been a complete walk in the park for me, and has been tons more interesting. Nothing beats...

2. Schedule question A&P1 and Chemistry????

   x_factor replied to mrsvickerie2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I wouldn't suggest taking both together considering you work and have two children to care for. I think both are very doable together for someone who doesn't have that level of responsibility outside...

5. Is my planned Pre-nursing Fall 2013 schedule crazy/impossible?

   x_factor replied to heres117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think it looks fine. My schedule was heavier than that this semester and has been fine. Most of my classmates are taking a schedule similar in load to yours with no problems. 16 credits is a pretty...

   I never said the HESI cut-off was lower 90's, I said that was the

7. BRCC point system

   x_factor replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

   That's the only 3 criteria. GPA of the 5 required pre-reqs, HESI score, and then how many classes taken at BRCC. In that order. We were told that last admitted class had a cut-off GPA of 3.6 and the...

8. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

   x_factor replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Because it beats waiting an extra year or longer to apply simply because you have a couple more classes to take. I'll be done with co-reqs this year, except for A&P II which I'm taking in the...

9. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

   x_factor replied to MommaTy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Not every school cares if you finish your co-reqs/pre-reqs before applying. My school only requires a handful of specific pre-reqs from the pre-req list and the GPA from those in deciding acceptance....

10. grades for nursing program

    x_factor replied to kml61792's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not completely accurate. Many colleges actually base their admission into nursing programs on your cumulative GPA... the GPA of all previous college

11. Can't add A&P II yet?

    x_factor replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No one can answer this except the advisor at your specific school, since each school's rules will vary when it comes to over-riding a class schedule. I suggest speaking with an advisor at your school...

12. Math 99

    x_factor replied to katrinad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's a required math pre-req, then unfortunately you'll have to take it. The only way you'd possibly be grandfathered in is if maybe you were already in the nursing program when that became a...

13. D in statistics

    x_factor replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure why you're taking a class such a statistics if it isn't a pre-req for your program, but in any case you took it and now have a D in it. My advice is to re-take it and aim for a better...

14. Math 99

    x_factor replied to katrinad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At many schools, classes below the 100 (or 1,000, depending on how their catalog is arranged) level are developmental courses. Each school is different though. What is Math 99 at your school? Is it...

15. A&P1, how many hours a week in class?

    x_factor replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking A&P II this summer and it'll be 12 hours per week. A&P I during the summer is 12 hours per week as well. It's an 8 week summer
