    zoe92 replied to SelenaL18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    zoe92 replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am pretty positiv that if you know for sure that you will be in California, you can go & take your NCLEX there. Usually the BO will just want to make sure you school is accredited or

    zoe92 replied to eyesopen_mouthshut's topic in General Students

    I think you should really consider the price of the school... Because the for profits by me are not worth that money at all. Also, look at the attrition rate. How many students start the nursing...

    C+ in nutrition

    zoe92 replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it will really affect you... with a 3.8 you are a very competitive applicant. Also, you didn't get a C+ in the more important pre reqs (like A & P). I think you will be
