  1. C's in non prerequisite courses for nursing?

    I'd just explain it to the school you're applying that you were young and didn't know what the ramifications of a C would be later in life. As long as your science gpa is stellar I'd say no

  3. Feeling Silly

    You are SOO young! Time is on your side, follow your heart and do what will make you happy despite the extra work. If you love your job in the end, all those extra years will be worth it
  4. What credits are needed for a BSN?

    Most colleges require 60 +/- credits and each college will have an outline of what courses they do and do not accept. The biggest misconception I had was that all my credits would transfer anywhere....
  5. A&P 5 week course- advice

    While I don't have experience in this, my buddy took A&PI over the summer in a 5 week course and then A&PII in the trad course. He said he wishes he would have done both in the 5 weeks courses...
  6. private college or community college

    I have no bias for one school or the other. I have noticed for most of the hospitals here in the city all of the job postings state "BSN Preferred". I'm applying to a 4 year for this reason, but my...

    Just out of curiosity, are you taking any other classes with these two? I was thinking of adding A&P I to my micro, developmental psych and math
  10. I feel your pain! I totally had a horrible high school math experience and so none of it stuck with me. I'm 23 and went back to school last year. I had to start in a 2 non-credit maths and it really...
  11. Spring 2013

    I see a lot of people taking a&p I with another science class, stop! You're all making me think I want to take 2 science
  12. Math is not my jam either. But once I entered college I worked my way through the developmental math courses, took college algebra and am now in pre-calc! You can do anything you put your mind to and...

  17. Is it better to go to university?

    I agree, an ASN will give you all the skills you need. I have many friends who have gone the ASN route and been more prepared for the NCLEX than some of my BSN friends. However, quality of education...
  18. My push to the finish line!

    Here's the deal fellow pre-reqers. I have 37 credits left to transfer to my BSN dream school. Now that I know what I want to do I don't want to take longer than I have to to become a nurse. So I'm...

    To everyone who was accepted, may I ask what your gpa was, what you were worried about on your application, what do you think stood out in your statement of goals and objectives, what your teas score...
