    _firefly replied to karenonp's topic in General Students

  14. Need advice about my schedule: too much?

    _firefly replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This looks like a reasonable schedule. Difficult but definitely possible. Just keep in mind you probably need B's or better in all those classes and the science classes usually include labs that...

  25. Barely passed Organic Chem. Should I be worried?

    _firefly replied to mc0306's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) A 'B' in Chem. is more than respectable. 2) If you are applying to the most difficult program in the world and they somehow say 'no' because of that grade, you can always retake it. 3) School is...
