Hi! I needed Chemistry to take A&P, it could either be high school or college level. I never took it in high school, so I enrolled in a "post high school adult General Chemistry" course. The class is 2 semesters and online. The 2nd part starts ne...

I also have roughly 1,125 days to go!

I am having the same problem right now. I put that pressure on myself because I didn't do well in high school and now I think I have to have a 4.0 all the time. Somehow I have still maintained my 4.0 but... my social life is suffering, I feel ill a l...

I know you don't want to hear it, but that's what I did. I jumped right in. I moved to a city I knew nothing about last fall and enrolled in the technical college there. I did that based on the fact that my friend went to school there and has been an...

Lucky enough, when my mom died, I found all my paperwork. Immunization records included! Thank god she kept all that.

Psychology. Only for the fact that there is a lot to take in. There are a lot of concepts and definitions. Although, it must not be that hard as it is my highest scoring class. Once you take the book stuff and apply it to life, it gets easier.

My school requires the class but not to become state certified. I'm waiting for my test date.

Yes, because I am in the same situation. My school only requires basic math. I tested out of algebra for some reason but not the basic. You can get through it as everyone else that is bad at math can!

I am so glad to see I am not alone. I make notes of my notes and notes from those notes. I start with the online (mypsychlab) study guide and fill it out as I'm reading, then I take the chapter outline from class and fill that out, finally I make not...

Rant here: I just started my first "real and full" semester as a pre-core student and I feel overwhelmed. I'm taking 9 classes, which is equal to 12 credits. I went online to get the course info and handouts and just looking around and wow! This is t...

Thanks guys. I've been away for a little bit. I'm in my 3rd week and it's going ok. Still a little bit of an overload but I'm getting used to it.

My school is a 10 minute drive. There is no way I would travel over 40 minutes, I do that for work already.

I can't think of any. All the schools around me require some test, mostly the NLN test.

I did horrible in high school as well for the same reasons as the poster above me stated. I think many schools look at the fact that you graduated and what classes you have taken. Taking my school as an example, they didn't really care about my GPA. ...

Perhaps, take a CNA class and work as a CNA? My school is a petition process. It goes by those who live closest to the school (odd) and if you have to get a 100 on the NLN-RN.

Sorry for the dumb question here. What would be good to put on flash cards? Vocabulary? Concepts? Large cards with diagrams I'm not starting until the summer semester though. Good luck to those that are taking the class now! Thanks.

For some reason I don't think you could. I remember asking my CNA instructor this. I think she said you could only work the higher of one. And you can't go down either. So I don't think you could work as both at the same time. And if you were an RN...

I hate places like that! You deserve it, not the ones that don't show up. I second the different school.

My school uses the NLN PAX-RN also, they require a 100 to get in. I have the book by Kaplan called Nursing School Entrance Exams. It goes through the NLN, NET, TEAS, and some others. I took the TEAS but didn't do well in the science, so I didn't get ...

You sound *just* like me! I was the same in high school, C's and B', but now I'm all A's. It's a lot different when you want to go to school rather than you have to go to school, like high school was. As for working: There are grants, financial aid,...

Ooops, I forgot to say. I'm in West Bend. Good luck everyone!

I'm starting my first official semester in a few weeks! Wondering if there are other students out there! Taking: Med Term Written Comm Computer Lit Student Success Survival Skills for Nursing Students Pshychology Chemistry

Well, I'm just doing physics as a refresher. From what I remember in high school, it was real math heavy. I'm nervous about it too!

Thanks for your replies everyone! I'm def going to keep my options open. Look into what exactly is on the test and look at the BSN programs around here.

I'm in my second semester and there are plenty of older students! I'm almost 27 and just started my prereqs. I've also never had a problem getting into my classes. In fact, I've had classes canceled because of low enrollment. I know all schools are ...
