My prereq GPA was 3.73. I basically have zero healthcare experience, except volunteering at a hospital. You should be fine! I think that the admissions people like to see a well rounded candidate (open to new cultures, etc...) so not having a 4.0 ...

Hi cassiejoy, I just saw this post, sorry. My GPA for pre-reqs is 3.73. Let me know if you have any questions:)

I'm only in my second week of the nursing program so I don't have much advice for those of you apply to start Spring 2013. I just wanted to say good luck and if you have any entrance questions feel free to ask [i might even have an answer ]

Yes, there is an ABSN program (at Idaho State University) located near my school as well. They look at prereq GPA, TEAS score and an interview. I was going to apply there to start in the Spring but was accepted to my school (and I wanted to start a...

My school only looks at GPA for Statistics, A&P I and II, and Chemistry along with responses to a few short essays. Oh, I go to Boise State:)

I applied to Boise State (in Idaho).. for the program, I was able to apply the semester before I wanted to start.

esliang, I was in a similar situation not too long ago. I graduated about a year ago with a bachelor's in Health Science, but knew that nursing was where I wanted to be. I decided to go the BSN route because of what I've also been hearing about ADN...

SopranoKris, I took Human Growth & Development online and I didn't think it was that bad. I really enjoyed the material so maybe that's why:) Good luck with all of your classes!!

Congrats!!

For the program I start this fall, we have the option of taking pathophysiology before or during our first semester of the program. I chose to take it before so I wouldn't have another class piled on top of what I'm sure will be a busy schedule. I ...

I currently volunteer at a hospital a couple times each week. The first hospital I called seemed to be annoyed at me asking about volunteer opportunities, so I moved on. I would highly recommend volunteering! I start a BSN program next month and h...

I have heard great things about both programs... I have a previous bachelor's so I was planning to apply for ISU's accelerated BSN for the spring. Instead, I ended up getting in to the program at BSU so I will be starting in the fall:) Good luck wit...

I am trying to buy supplies from the list as I go through the summer so I won't go into shock having to buy everything at once.. I was wondering if anyone has started buying supplies (to start Fall 2012)? I was told that I would be given more infor...

Congrats!! I start a BSN program in August and just signed up for classes a couple of weeks ago. Intro to Professional Nursing Health Assessment with Lab Dosage Calculations Patient Care Skills Foundations of Nursing Care with Lab (clinicals) I am ...

1) what is 'standard' to put on stethoscope id tag? i was thinking first initial, last name? i was just wondering the same thing about what to put on my stethoscope id tag. since i have a pretty common last name, i am unsure on what ...

I think you can definitely do it!! Last Fall I had to take pharmacology, nutrition, human growth & development and advanced Spanish conversation. Just make sure you stay on top of all reading/assignments/etc and you'll do well. Good luck with ...

Hi blu223, I am set to start a nursing program in the Fall and was wondering if you know if that's how the whole hospital is or just the ED? I know I still have a couple of years before I will be able to look for RN jobs.. Thanks!

I begin a BSN program in the Fall and was wondering the same thing. I also volunteer at a hospital, but have been considering taking a CNA course. I would love to see what experienced students/nurses have to say!!

I am in a similar situation...I graduated about a year ago with a Bachelors of Science in Health Sciences. This previous degree covered all of my nursing pre-reqs except one. I've heard the same thing about my first degree helping me out, but I am ...

In my class, we dissected rats and got to work with a cadaver as well. I thought the rats would gross me out (that tail!!!), but it really wasn't bad at all. :) Good Luck!

I start nursing school this fall too (not the same school as you though) and would just like to congratulate you:) Good Luck!!

I took A&P I and microbiology at the same time, along with two other classes. I did spend a lot of time in lab and studying, but was able to manage. As long as you make sure to set aside time each day to review for A&P and micro, you should...

Hi Willowita, I am in a similar situation; I have a previous Bachelors and start nursing school this Fall. As soon as I tried to sign up for pre-reqs, I was sent a notice saying that I would no longer be receiving financial aid (but I could appeal)....

Hi norvelk! I am not sure about the waiting list but if I find out anything I will post on here. Good luck!!

I just finished taking A&P online...I was very worried going into it but was still able to manage an A. I think what I found the most helpful was talking through the information with a couple of classmates (I would also explain the information to...
