Hi Nicole, I stand corrected the correct site is http://ratemyprofessor.com.

Hi Nicole, I'm finally knocking out my last pre-req. I just got done applying to nursing school and will find out something by the end of May. A/P-1 was definetly the hardest for me. All I can tell you if you decide to retake A/P again ask some other students about the instructors. You can go to a website http://www.ratemyprofessor. You will find a listing of feed backs provided by other students that have taken certain instructors. Don't give up. Believe me I know where your coming from. I have three kids and have to wait till everyone falls asleep before I can get any quality studying done. Its pure memorization. But the most important part is understanding what your reading. Of course the lab section of your A/P is memorization of all the different parts. Just hang in there. You'll be fine

:imbar Just noticed the student nursing forum. Thank you for the replies...I will sure take a look over there. Thanks again for the advice! ~R

I am needing some suggestions and/or help. The story is kind of long, so please bare with me. I submitted my nursing school application to 2 ADN programs in my area last Fall. One program I was denied admission to, the other I was given a pool slot. My GPA at that time was a 2.7. Currently...I'm in my last semester finishing my last prereq(chem). My current GPA is a 2.8. The date for submitting applications for nursing school has arrived again...my problem is I am not sure how to go about stating my reasons for admission. One school doesn't require an admission statement...the other does. I have been beating myself up about this for the last two weeks. I feel like I approached the application wrong the last go around. The applications asks a simple question..."WRITE A BRIEF PARAGRAPH CONCERNING YOUR REASONS FOR SEEKING ADMISSION INTO THE REGISTERED NURSING PROGRAM." Last time I submitted... I listed personal reasons within a short paragraph. Love of people, death of my mother, etc, etc,etc. Well...apparently all my personal reasons didn't help. Can anybody offer some advice on what they may be looking for? I am thinking it's more like a why do you want this job kind of question. For example....Reasons for seeking admission may be 9 years of military experience...shows adaptability to fast paced and changing enviroments, highly motivated, etc, etc,. I know my GPA is not the best but I know if given an opportunity in nursing school...I would make one hell of a nurse. I have wanted this chance for years. So....if anybody is willing to give me some pointers...I could sure use them. If you have read this far...thank you! I know I am not a nurse or nursing student yet...but I'm trying to join you all...I didn't know where else to turn....so please be gentle :imbar ~R
