    I received all A's in my Science and most Nursing prereq's. I'd say the hardest class for me was Chemistry. This class is a toughie, and I took a "hybrid" course - part online and part at school. I...

  14. A&P I Induced Anxiety

    yedwards42 replied to Cf138's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree that A/P is intense, though saying deflating, unmotivating comments can only add to the number of students that may score low or fail. My professors were great (intense though very...

    That's awesome Shyloh! I'm sure you're interview will go well. I didn't apply to SMU's FNP or CM (just ABSN) program. Part of me wishes I did though, as the nursing market is extremely competitive...
