  1. kinda confused ??? and cant decide

    x_factor replied to kml0807's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Biology is most a lot of memorization, especially intro the human biology. If you want to be an ADN, I would suggest changing your study habits until you find ways that benefit you best, and put in...

  2. Done with the HESI A2! Any questions?!

    x_factor replied to doxielover304's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Your overall score is the average of all your subscores from each area. Some schools only require a minimum overall score, while some require a minimum overall score and a minimum score in each...

  3. Low GPA

    x_factor replied to Amanda0418's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And this may be the best option for you, if you have a lot of credits and many of them are bad and/or below passing. I did it. I went to a large university right out of highshool years ago, and was...

  4. Who were you in high school

    x_factor replied to Dezy's topic in General Students

    I was the quiet, painfully shy tomboy with a nerdy side. I didn't want to be a nurse in highschool, I wanted to be an Astronomy major who would one day work for NASA. I still do in my heart, but you...

  5. Low GPA

    x_factor replied to Amanda0418's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Other people that have had low GPA's and pulled them up will not be able to help you. Everyone's circumstance is different. What will help you is to evaluate why your GPA is low, what caused you to do...

  6. Will my course load be too much to handle?

    x_factor replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would drop chemistry and lab, and pick up an easy humanity or art elective if you have to in order to stay

  7. Nclex in 2 weeks HELP PLEASE

    x_factor replied to Sakshi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Which NCLEX are you referring to? PN or RN? What else have you done to study besides Saunders? After you failed the other times, what did you do differently in your study methods? Everyone gets a...

  8. Will my course load be too much to handle?

    x_factor replied to msmartel bee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you work, are you married, do you have kids...? All of this plays a role on how much time you have to devote to the classes. Also, how have you done in your other classes, are you strong in science...

  9. failed nclex exam

    x_factor replied to pinoyoarica's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would think after being out of school 20 years and being unable to pass the NCLEX, I would look into a good review course to attend. After 20 years, you've probably lost a lot of important...

  10. How do you think like a nurse?

    x_factor replied to Born2Care4All's topic in General Students

  12. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

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

    It depends on what criteria the school uses for admission. Some use a mixture of GPA, test scores, essay, volunteer/work experience, ect. Some use just GPA and test scores. My school uses just pre-req...

  13. What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

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

    Depends on what the cut-off is this admittance period for that school. Sometimes cut-off runs low, sometimes cut-off runs high. Depends how high the GPA's were of the other students

  14. ATI Appeal

    x_factor replied to sparklenshine1210's topic in General Students

    This reminds me of the LPN program I was in. One semester a few students failed Fundamentals, and had to sit out an entire semester before re-taking it. They whined and screamed how "unfair" it was,...

  15. 5 pre reqs left

    x_factor replied to 2bNurseCurtis98's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^ This will be me in a few weeks, lol. I'm taking 7 classes (well, 6 plus a bio lab worth 1 credit) to finish up the last of my pre-reqs. I'm taking College Algebra, English Comp 2, Biomedical...

  16. Final Grades for Fall'12

    x_factor replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely not a slacker, be proud of that B! I took Micro in the past, and it was a beast! I made a good grade in it, but I'm going to have to re-take it because my school I transferred to didn't...

  17. classes

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

    You want to take both together, or seperately, as an 8 week class? Since you just failed Anatomy, I would not advise taking either one of them as an accelerated 8 week class, even seperately. Anatomy...

  22. Prepairing for nursing skills course

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

    I don't have any experience with the art and science of nursing book. The Reviews and Rationales book, and the Fundamentals Success book, both teach you how to think critically, using NCLEX style...

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

    Congrats! I would advise checking out YouTube for some of the nursing skill videos, they have some really good ones on there. Check out lab simulation videos, so you can see how some of the skills are...

  24. My grades /:

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

    I also agree, drop at at least one the classes until you get a better grasp of your study habits and learning style. Psychology, sociology and english aren't too difficult, even with taking A&P I....
