    HESI A2 math and A&P!

    maddiem posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    What is the math section like on the A2 exam? Can anyone give me a basic outline of what it covers and how difficult it was? I've heard that the A&P test is a little far off from the study book a...

    maddiem replied to sonwic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah it's not totally necessary to take bio again. As long as you're some what familiar with the basics you will be fine. If you feel the need to freshen up on the subject though just pick up a...

    Feeling discouraged

    maddiem replied to alihoff93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The average GPA of a student accepted to nursing school is 3.4 and above. Not sure what the stats are for your school. I would talk to a counselor at your school to find out more about the average GPA...

    maddiem replied to Somekid5000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will not be a transfer student. You will do your prerequisite courses at you community college and then apply to your school's nursing program. If you are accepted you will spend 2 years in the...

    Receiving an C in AP I and AP II

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

    A&P is hard - no doubt about it! I would urge you to retake them both because A&P is the foundation to nursing school. You must be very familiar with everything you learned in both classes...

    RN to BSN Necessary in Urban Areas?

    maddiem replied to lulain's topic in General Students

    If you want to work in a hospital in the ICU, ED, etc...yes. If you're ok working in LTC then you wouldn't HAVE to get your BSN...but it all cases it will be beneficial and earn you more

    Someone who has their bsn

    maddiem replied to alihoff93's topic in General Students

    The prerequisite courses such as anatomy and physiology, micro, chem, and math will prepare you well for the nursing program. It will be the foundation you need to understand the material in nursing...

    Thoughts please regarding Chem and A&P I

    maddiem replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is not much chem in A&P. You wouldn't need to take chem before A&P to do well in it. Some people take them together to save time. If you are well organized in your studying and can keep...

    I didnt do so good in highschool

    maddiem replied to keya86tiff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only reason a nursing school would ask for your high school transcripts is to verify that you graduated. High school course work is irrelevant once you've taken all your prerequisite courses in...

    Good books for a pre-college student to read

    maddiem replied to bucolicdulcet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you haven't done any prerequisite courses yet, picking up a nursing book would be useless because you won't have the foundation to understand what the book is saying :) I would just worry about...

    Confused about nursing program Gpa requirements

    maddiem replied to bean-toes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For a bachelors degree in nursing (BSN) they will look at your cumulative GPA. The 2.5 GPA they advertise is just the requirement for your application to be LOOKED at. BSN schools generally only...

    EMT or CNA for Pre-Nursing Student?

    maddiem replied to BSpsychtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go with the CNA. It will give you the clinical experience you need to succeed in nursing school. EMT is a whole different side of the medical field. As for school, you should do your bachelors in...

    Hello!

    maddiem replied to findingme02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not really sure if you could find a grant or scholarship that would cover the costs of daycare. If you are awarded a grant or scholarship it has to be used for school purposes such as books,...

    Has anyone completed their AA in Nursing online?

    maddiem replied to beauxreve's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only online nursing schools that are legitimately accredited are RN-BSN degrees (RN's getting their bachelors) this is because they don't always require a clinical portion for those programs. For...

    Straight A's in Science prereqs?

    maddiem replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't finished Chem and Micro yet but I have A's in both A&P 1 and 2. My best advice is to stay ahead in class. Read the chapter before lecture, don't procrastinate on studying for a test, and...

    Im worried Online pre-req classes will lower my chances?

    maddiem replied to TaraAnn91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As long as it's a non-science course, you're fine! You completed the course work required and got a satisfactory grade. Gen ed online classes are commonly taking by many people! I took a few

    Struggle with Science classes

    maddiem replied to CMA2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was by no means a good science and math student in high school. When I started community college I began to realize how rewarding a career in healthcare could be. I was really scared about taking...

    My Plan - Is it the wisest choice?

    maddiem replied to cyberia81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check and see if there is a masters in nursing program for non-nurses. There are quite a few of them these days. It's a masters degree but it's for people who didn't major in nursing during their...

    maddiem replied to xtremesteve's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A program like that doesn't exist...you can't go into nursing school without taking A&P 1 and 2, chemistry, and microbiology. There are no online programs for an RN degree. You must complete...
