    GPA and major?

    I'm a little confused by your post.. are you transferring to do nursing? Or to do neuroscience, possibly biology? I think before you transfer you need to decide what your plan is. Try to look into...

    Preparing for A&P1

    I always took advantage of open labs. The key to learning and studying it is to read, read and read some more. Break it down for yourself and then explain it to others. If rewrite (try pen and paper)...
  3. You can't live your life by what your parents want. I tried that many times and it caused set backs for me. Do nursing because your heart is in it. Also, failing a pre req does not make you a failure....
  4. Really stay organized. Get yourself a great planner to remember what is due when. Study a little every day (don't cram). Go to every class and take diligent notes. Take advantage of office hours, open...

    Worried I'm Not Cut Out for Nursing

    My first college I went to was a four year school with a BSN program. I had a different major but decided as a sophomore to switch to nursing. I couldn't get into any of the pre req science courses...

    BSN or ADN --> RN to BSN

    If the BSN will only be one more year then I recommend the BSN. You can get it done all at once. I was in the same place as you and transferred to a community college as a sophomore from a four year...

    what classes to take...

    I think your plan sounds great! I am 20 and this is my first degree (almost done pre reqs at community college & hopefully starting the BSN in the fall). I always stay full time so I can make...

    confused pre nursing student...

    I think ethics is a great class for humanities too. It really makes you question things and as a nurse you have to be

    Still have a shot for being accepted?

    It depends. One of the programs I'm at requires more than a 3.0 but they also look at your TEAs, essay, resume, and recommendations as factors. Look into schools that admitting based on...
  10. Honestly I say allnurses is the best resource I've found for nursing articles & info. Pinterest also has pics that link to some interesting articles as

    What are your ultimate goals?

    I am hoping to start in a BSN program in fall 2013 since this is my last semester of pre reqs (just A & P 2 left!!). After I graduate in spring 2015, I would like to get experience in the ER or...

    Apply now or wait until next year???

    I would wait a year. In the long run, waiting won't matter and this way you get to spend more time with your newborn. By the sound of it, you should have no issues getting into a school when you apply...

    Finished semester with a C in physio

    I retook a & p 1 and got a B. At my school the first grade will still be on your transcript but your GPA only includes the new higher grade. I say retake it or bust your butt in all your other pre...

    Did anyone retake a class before?

    I took my a & p final today. It is my second time taking it because I didn't do well my first time (over the summer). It isn't a big deal (depending on your program) but try to get really good...

    Waiting for final grades to post

    I am waiting right now! I made Dean's List for the semester, but am waiting for my semester GPA to be updated. I retook a pre req course this semester & got a B. At my school, you can have 1...

  19. Lol I didn't plan to get them. I was in another major and switched into nursing, so the advisor told me I qualified for the degrees. So I was like ok I'll just stay at my cc and graduate ha. Maybe you...

    Will I like nursing?

    I highly recommend job shadowing a nurse at your local hospital. This will help you see what types of duties you will be required to do. If you have your CNA and like being in the health care field...

    Retakes

    If you have good grades in other pre reqs then a B- won't hurt you. But any sort of B is still not a bad grade. You should be
  22. I take my a&p1 final tomorrow, have 5 weeks of break to finish my application packets, and then start my last pre req (a&p2) at the end of January. I am applying to multiple BSN programs...

    It Can Be Done!

    Great job! I think you are a really dedicated student because I took microbiology & nutrition together which was hard enough for me. Enjoy your well earned
  24. You can still bring your GPA up and you can still make your resume look good. Try to join clubs at your school or volunteer at a hospital. Try your hardest and go to office hours so your teachers see...

    Need advice please.?!

    I agree with x_factor on looking at how many times you can take it. My school only allows you to take a class twice. Also some programs will only look at your first grade you got, even if it was a...
