  1. Missing two A & P 1 Classes???

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

    I wouldn't miss two classes if at all possible, that's a lot of material to miss in a class that is extremely fast paced to begin

  2. 2013 Fall Applicants

    x_factor replied to carbon86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My packet went out a couple weeks ago, we get our accepted/rejected letters first week of June, a couple weeks after final grades are submitted (since you're allowed to be finishing up pre-reqs in the...

  3. Listening to lectures during sleep

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

    ^ This. I'd rather get a good night's sleep. Listening to lectures and taking notes is far more productive than using it as background noise when you're trying to

  4. Help! Failed A&P I

    x_factor replied to Kas78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Re-take it. Most schools replace the old grade with the new one, a few average the two grades (old and new)

  5. Community College

    x_factor replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my 2nd semester of taking pre-reqs (started Fall of 2012) and I applied for the ADN program this semester for fall admission. If I wanted to apply for my BSN instead at the local University, I...

  6. Has anyone dropped natural science classes and gotten accepted?

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

    Depends on the school. If you can find a community college with an ADN program whose requirements are just your pre-req GPA, then your past probably won't matter. I went to college right out of...

  8. Hardest pre-req?

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

    I'm finding Microbiology a walk in the park. I slept through half of my psychology class and got an A. I hate math but college algebra is going fine for me. In my A&P class, the exams are all fill...

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

  12. How far do you commute to school?

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

    I currently commute one hour to school, about 50 miles from home. The school I transferred from was 1.5 hours from home, about 75 miles

  13. Pre-req online?

    x_factor replied to scwildflower's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Why do you need A&P II to take your NCLEX? That makes no sense. A&P II is a pre-req to get INTO a nursing program. The NCLEX is an exam you take to get licensed after you've GRADUATED a...

  17. minimum gpa for nursing school?

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

    My school is a "minimum" of a 2.8, average acceptance is a 3.7, and we were told by the director that they've never seen anyone with less than a 3.3 get

  18. prerequisites cost.

    x_factor replied to Genderson8289's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. minimum gpa for nursing school?

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

  20. I applied to BRCC program this year. I need advice! Please help!

    x_factor replied to FlyaboveLPN's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    For BRCC (BRCC in Louisiana, right?) you need a 75 overall on the HESI and a 75 in each required section (math, reading, grammar and vocab). That's the minimum required to be applicable, and at the...

    x_factor replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually have a plan A, B, and C. Though, like everyone else, I'm hoping I won't need to fall back on Plan's B or C, but they're there if I need

  22. A&P I Induced Anxiety

    x_factor replied to Cf138's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually what the professor is saying is true. This isn't a scare tactic, generally A&P can be the true "weeding out" class, as many nursing schools require it for admission, science GPA holds...

  25. Is it voodo or curse

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

    I completely agree. And this advice has been given to them time and time again, and they continue to say that they do not need a refresher course, which baffles
