Yeah the point system ranges from different school. At my college, Human Anatomy, Microbiology, and other Science courses were worth more than other subjects like Math and English. Don't get me wrong, try your hardest in all of your classes, but especially pay attention to those science classes. Its better to have an A in Human Anatomy than an A in English. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for sending me these thoughtful comments! I feel like a weight has been lifted. As many of you have stated, NS will be hard, but you just need dedication to pass it. Thanks again everyone! It really means a lot! :loveya:

For the past 6 months I have been so stressed out about getting into nursing school. My GPA wasn't the best, but I made a 93% on the HESI Entrance exam. This ranged from crying, yelling, and overreacting to everything. A couple of weeks ago, I went to the mailbox and saw this letter. (It was kind of creepy sitting there) I picked it up and there it was, "You have been accepted". I made the weirdest sound when I saw those words but happiness filled my soul with excitement! Right now I'm going through the "Nursing School is going to kill me" phase. I've heard so many horror stories about Nursing School that I'm actually getting very terrified. People are saying how I'm not going to get any sleep, I will loose all my friends now because Nursing is going to take up so much time, and the dark terror of the dreaded "care plans". I know this isn't a big deal but I do feel that since I'm a black male, I might have more eyes on me than usual. (I live in the South so bear with me) I know that shouldn't be a factor in my education, but that's the stigma the south portrays unfortunately... Now that the sad stuff is out the way, I have some questions for my fellow nurses! What was the biggest obstacle you experienced while being in nursing school? What would you have done differently if you could do Nursing School again? Other than studying and time management, what is the most important lesson I should learn before I go to Nursing School? Any help would be appreciated!
