I really think you should call the schools nursing program and try to talk to an adviser. These are all very specific questions. It will be hard for all of us to guide you properly since we are online. Good luck!

I am so sorry, Steph, I have enjoyed your posts for the last year I have been a member on AN. I recommend talking to your professors and letting them in in what is going on. They can help you figure out a plan of action. You are more than halfway the...

I took 14+ credits my first 2.5 years of college (1.5 of those years being my "pre req" years). My last semester of pre reqs, which was this past spring, I only had to finish A & P 2 & a required computer class, totaling 8 credits. I got into...

I got mostly B's in my science pre reqs. My biggest piece of advice is to apply to as many schools as you can. Which part of CO are you in? Are you willing to go out of state? Also consider private not for profit universities because even if they are...

So sorry to hear about your cousin. I think it is great that you decided to minor in nutrition. You could always double minor and take on something like Spanish or psychology. I took enough Psych electives to get an associates in it.

Not sure how an intro bio is not an "actual biology class" considering the BSN programs I applied to accepted mine. But by intro bio, I meant the BIOL class you recommended to the OP. it was just referred to as intro bio where I took it. Regardless, ...

No, not true. My school did not require you to do it in that order. All they required was an intro bio first before you took your higher pre reqs. I did: intro bio, micro, chem, A & P 1, A & P 2. I did fine. I do recommend you take an intro ...

I agree with bravera. I started off my first semester in pre nursing taking intro biology, college algebra, developmental psychology, writing & ethics. I highly recommend taking classes full time. Balance your classes out well too. I never took A...

I did community college to university and got a couple of associates degrees. It was the best decision I could have made. I saved a lot of money on pre reqs, got good grades & was able to mature so I was ready to move 1.5 hours away from home to ...

I start classes on August 28 & turn 21 in September during the 3rd week of classes. I will graduate in May 2015 with my BSN at 22.5 years old.

I always preferred making my own. My A & P teacher would provide a study guide for the lecture portion. It was all of the power point notes put into question form, so I would write the question on one side & answer it on the other side. Some...

I am not necessarily an introvert but I love being alone! I need some alone time every day. I am almost 21 as well and in a tradtional BSN program so most students are around my age. I requested a single dorm room. Some of the other students couldn't...

Hi everyone, I start my BSN this fall. For my fundamentals class, they assigned 9 chapters to read from our textbook (Kozier & Erb's). I am trying to space out these 9 chapters because I am taking a summer chemistry course that ends in late July...

I will be getting a cheaper flat band. My pretty rock will stay in the box some place safe for all the times I am in clinical.

I got engaged this past winter, right before my last semester of pre reqs. Now I am starting my year and a half of nursing school. Personally, I decided to wait to get married until after I graduate. I am planning an actual wedding and like being abl...

I took most of my science courses at one community college & then one chemistry course at another community college. I would call your school & see what they expect/accept.

August 28! I move on campus the 24. I will be starting nursing classes & have 2 years to go until I have my BSN.

Thanks Nursing2102! I received your message. I was going to send you a message back saying thank you, but it said your inbox was full.

I live in the DMV area & switched to nursing after my freshman year of college back in 2011. I am having to take a 5th year of college for my BSN because there was no way I could make the cut in time & the schools I looked into actually point...

I applied to 4 BSN programs. They all had different requirements but I sent in the same things for everything. I had 5 letters of recommendation (1 personal, 1 professional, 3 academic), a resume that included my professional & volunteer experien...

Not necessarily true. It really depends on the school. I think your example is more of the exception rather than the rule.

If your textbook has a practice workout or solutions manual, purchase it. It will provide extra problems for you to practice, as well as answers for the end of chapter questions.

I think it is important to keep in mind there is a difference between a BAD professor (unfair, won't answer questions, disorganized) & a HARD professor (makes you think, has you actually learn the material, is no nonsense). It seems you are doing...

Chemistry, because I hate that subject. I find biology SO much more interesting.

I did my pre reqs at a community college. I was eligible to get an associate's in science for pre nursing, BUT you don't necessarily have to do that. You can find out what the university requires, take the equivalent courses at the community college ...
