Thanks guys. I'm so nervous. And congrats to you 94%, that's awesome!

Is a calculator provided for the entire math section or just certain parts?

How long does it take to get results from Hesi exam?

I wouldn't give up so fast if I were you. You have the passion and trust me you don't want to walk away from your dream and then later regret it. Find you another job and see if you feel the same way. It may just be that particular job.

I'm sorry but this applies to pretty much any field you go into now. So please don't let that discourage you. I have a Bachelors degree in another field from two years ago and I still hadn't found a job in that field. Thank God I had a decent job already. Needless to say I am still employed there. I definitely didn't let if discourage me. I have an interview for a job tomorrow that could change everything for me. I am glad that I have that education because if I never had it, I wouldn't even be considered for this job. I will still pursue nursing because of my passion for healthcare. If you are truly passionate about something, keep pushing forward. Everything will eventually fall into place. There is no nursing shortage in my city!

Did they send an email or letter?

Me too, nothing yet. They have two of my transcripts and I'm waiting on my final grades to post so that they can get my other. They said that they could determines acceptance from those two though. I know of four people who have all gotten acceptance letters. Maybe I was rejected.

Oops, I was going to say I understand your dilemma. It's easy for others to say don't choose option 3. But considering the 2.0 GPA, it IS going to be difficult. Many look down on option 3 because the opportunities are limited. For instance, would you want to work in LTC? That is where most LPNs work. Also keep in mind that although opportunities are limited, there are opportunities. In my state, it may be difficult to get into an RN program but it is much easier to get into a LPN-RN bridge program. How well you do in your LPN and nursing pre-reqs will determine your acceptance. I have a bachelors degree with a low GPA and since graduating I have not been able to find a job. So here I am years later going after my passion. I am applying to at least 5 programs and also 1 LPN program (already accepted). If I don't get accepted into either of the ADN and BSN programs I am applying to, I will definitely be going to LPN school and bridging to RN. At that point, that would be my only way in. I have made a 4.0 on all my nursing pre reqs and that is

I understand your dilemma.

Question? So if my GPA is a 2.5, But i have repeated several classes for better grades, will my GPA actually be lower once they have factored in the other attempts? My transcript shows excluded from GPA on the classes that I have retaken. I hope this is not the case. My undergrad mistake is ruining my future. But I am applying to several schools, one of the schools, a BSN program, takes the last 60 hrs. Another school, a ADN program, looks at the pre-req GPA and the minimum is a 2.0 although it must be much higher to be competitive. I have also applied to an LPN program, just in case I don't get accepted at any of the five schools I am applying to then I can bridge. I would take as many classes as I can before I petition to graduate. You want be eligible for financial aid anymore and your low undergrad GPA will follow you forever. It was tough finding a decent Grad school to accept me. My grad GPA is 3.5 and many of the programs wont even look at my grad school GPA. Now that I am applying to nursing school I have to research other options because of my undergrad.

I haven't heard anything yet either. I am so nervous. I heard they don't start clinicals until 2014 though. I will have my pre-reqs completed this summer. What would I do until then if I'm accepted? I already have Bachelors so I have all my generals too.

I opened up more options for myself when I started looking at schools a little further away. I think they may be a little less competitive too since they are all in very small counties.

It's not impossible. A&p is a challenging subject. Just know that you will need to buckle down and study hard. Your A&p book should have a website that has crossword puzzles, flash cards, and quizzes. Be sure to use those. Always read ahead! Answer the questions at the end of each chapter. This helped me tremendously. The answers cover pretty much everything your professor wants you to know. These tips helped me ace A&P!

Make an A in Micro and I'm sure you will be fine.

Thanks, I this makes me feel so much better. I can't do anything but apply and see now. I have at least 6 schools on my list now. I want this so bad. I hate that I was so immature years ago. If this doesn't work then it looks like I have to take another route.
