I talked to my counselor about nursing school. I was so prepared to tell her that I want to go straight to BSN after my prereqs, but she said that most BSN programs don't even take students that don't already have their ADN's anymore. I am so confused. Have you guy's heard of this? She advised me to just stay at the CC that I'm at now and get my ADN there, then get my BSN after that. DO you think that's the best thing to do? Or was that just her promoting the school and getting more applicants? I have all A's so far, so I don't think it's because she thinks I can't handle doing the BSN...

My school does offer free tutoring in maths and sciences, so I'd be able to get a tutor. You have a good point about the whole getting delayed a whole term if I don't get Anatomy right away and have to drop it. I'm just really confused about what I should do. I mean, I am okay at bio. That was my major in the Philippines. And I got a C in it because I wasn't really focused. I slept most of the time. LOL. I was a really bad student. But now, I am 100% focused. I've been going to a community college for the past year and I have 4.O so far. Plus I do remember a lot about the biology lecture and lab that I took before. I actually have my notes with me. LOL. ANyway, thanks a bunch for your advice. I really appreciate it.

[color=#333333]i'm starting my prerequisites for nursing this fall. i'm trying to decide whether i should take intro to bio before anatomy or not. i've taken college biology in a different country (philippines) before and got a c. (i live in ca now.) bio isn't a prereq for anatomy at my school though. so what do you guys think i should do? oh and i wanted to add, just in case this might make a difference to what you guys think i should do. the way i learn is weird. i'm not that great at learning on my own, but if i have a good teacher that explains things well, i am a really fast learner. for example, in math, last semester i took my first algebra class in about 5 years and i got an a in it. it was college algebra and it was an 8 week course. so i do learn fast, but i can't do it on my own. [color=#333333]so knowing that, what do you guys think i should do. oh, and one more thing... i am soooo excited about dissecting a cat in anatomy. does that make me weird? lol. i love learning about the body and what affects the body and what makes a person feel better, but i get so bored when learning about chemical compounds and mitosis and organisms and mainly things that i cant really see or imagine seeing. i dont know if that makes any sense. lol. anyway, any advice would be awesome. [color=#333333]ps. i know a c in bio is bad. lol. i know i need to get all a's in my classes to get into nursing school. that's why i am really thinking about taking bio even if it does set me back a whole semester.
