  1. Did i ruin my future?

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

    I left a previous school for a specific reason and left behind a laundry list of W's in NURSING courses. My new school does not care, they only look at my pre-req grade for the pre-reqs I am currently...

  2. Need to register asap...Please help

    x_factor replied to Tink Nurse to Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would speak with an advisor at your school. They can inform you of the classes required for your nursing program and can help you put together a schedule with the classes that you need specific to...

  3. I got accepted but I'm not excited. :(

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

    If the distance is an issue for the school you got accepted to, I would just go to a community college. CC's tend to be cheaper than many other schools, and you are only going for your pre-reqs. I...

  4. hi im a senior in highschool going for an associates degree as an RN

    x_factor replied to alondrap2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also highly recommend YouTube to help you with math, there are some awesome tutorial videos on there that have really broken down some of the harder concepts and made them easier for me to...

  5. hi im a senior in highschool going for an associates degree as an RN

    x_factor replied to alondrap2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The OP was using English, and was not speaking in chat or text speak. I took the OP's original post as a young, energetic highschool student, likely on their cellphone, who missed a few grammar...

  6. hi im a senior in highschool going for an associates degree as an RN

    x_factor replied to alondrap2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, really? Re-read your grammatically atrocious post and then tell me you if you still feel the overwhelming desire to pick on another member for their grammar mistakes. Very childish. To the OP,...

  7. Some Advice for a pre-nursing student!!

    x_factor replied to rn2b8889's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You say you are already enrolled into community college working on your ADN. So why would you drop out of that school to pursue an LPN degree? If you've already began on the path to your ADN, I would...

  8. Anybody else tired of taking pre-reqs?

    x_factor replied to FaithGurl93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While it is tiresome, I also understand it. I started pre-reqs thinking it was useless to take an art elective, and in the beginning even wondered if I'd use much of the psychology I was learning. And...

  9. They changed the requirements!!

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

    I would ask for information on the new point system so you will know where you stand. My school puts almost all the weight on GPA and HESI score, and a few points at the end on how many of the...

  10. Anatomy/Physiology 1 and General Chemistry

    x_factor replied to Amazing81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are failing A&P I now by itself, I highly advise not re-taking it again with Chemistry. You are talking two very time-consuming classes. Can it be done? Absolutely, many students do it all...

  11. Applying as undecided to NURSING SCHOOL??? Just to get accepted???

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

    I agree with the others who posted above me. You need to contact the schools you are interested in and schedule an appointment to speak with them. This way you can talk to them about average entrance...

  12. Human bio? Or Anatomy & Physiology?

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

    I suggest talking to an advisor at your school, they will know what you should take and which courses are transferable. My school offers human bio as well, though I have no idea what it's for, as far...

  13. Pre-Nursing & applying to Nursing school

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

    Volunteering really depends on the schools you are applying to, some look at volunteer experience, some do not. The schools I am applying to do not, they are all grade and score based. I did some...

  14. Pre-Nursing Nurse Camp!!!!!

    x_factor replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to say thank you for coming back to update this post, I read the entire thread and even before I got to your update you posted today, I was amazed and inspired, TRULY INSPIRED, by your...

  15. So confused, what to do!!!

    x_factor replied to laurie121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thing to remember here is that nursing school is competitive reguardless, and a 3.1 GPA is not competitive, in terms of some of the GPA's of students applying to these programs. Since you cannot...

  16. Nursing prereqs

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

    It depends on what your GPA is. A grade of C is passing, however if your GPA is already low and re-taking the class and earning an A will boost your GPA up, then I would consider re-taking it....

  17. Chemistry requirement... Withdrawal?

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

    I agree with the above poster about the withdrawal period, you might want to check with your school. At my school, the withdrawal period ended nearly 2 weeks ago. Withdrawing any classes now at my...

  18. Chemistry requirement... Withdrawal?

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

    I think a C will look much worse than a single W. Many nursing programs are extremely selective, and having any C's on a transcript can lower the chances of acceptance. 3 schools I am looking to apply...

  19. Chemistry requirement... Withdrawal?

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

    Did you know the Chemistry class you are in now wasn't a pre-req for the program? If so, I'm not sure why you would choose to take a non-required Chemistry class as basically an elective, only to drop...

  20. Low GPA?

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

    Congrats!! I am in a similar situation, my cumulative GPA is ony a 2.6 due to immaturity at another school years ago when I was right out of highschool. However, I am now at a local community college...

  21. College Algebra ughh

    x_factor replied to beckyboo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For math, honestly you just have to make sacrifices (such as any extra free time) and immserse yourself in it. I am finishing Intermediate Algebra this semester (a little over 4 weeks to go! Whew!),...

  22. Huge List of A&P Videos

    x_factor posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've been compiling links to YouTube videos, many focused on area's of A&P, for well over a year since I started this journey as a student hoping to one day be a nurse. I thought I would share...

  23. How Many Classes?

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

    I actually just added another class last night to my spring schedule. So next semester I'll be taking 6 classes, and a total of 19 hours. I'm not working while in school though, and I have no kids, so...

  24. How Many Classes?

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

    ^^ This, I totally agree! I had to quit my part-time job just to keep up my grades while finishing my pre-reqs. You parents out there with kids that work and still manage school have my upmost repsect...

  25. Is it easy to get into nursing school anywhere???

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

    Almost all ASN programs are competitive, because of the nature of the job that comes with the degree. If you are having trouble with schools that run off a lottery system, just look for schools that...
