  1. What classes did you take so far? I am kind of confused since you say a grade for a 1 credit class and none of the nursing prereqs are one credit. Admission really depends on how many points you get....
  2. What did the physical for our nursing program require?

    I really hope you can get over this because getting a pap smear can save your life if you get cervical cancer. I understand where you are coming from because I am very self concious about my labia...
  3. I have to agree with vintagemother. I think you should work out a plan with your husband. Maybe you can give nursing school all your attention Monday to Friday. Then Saturday to Sunday you can...
  4. Did you take all pre-reqs before applying?

    It really depends on your school. The program I am applying to suggests having at least 7 out of the 9 pre/coreqs done before applying. I will be applying after the fall 2013 semester (with 7 done),...
  5. Edison State College admission (Florida)

    I went to the prenursing orientation today. Just incase anyone was curious, the lowest point score to get into Lee this summer was 85. Good luck to all of you guys! Hopefully I will be in your...
  6. How many are going straight for your BSN?

    It really depends on your location. I am going for my ADN because I had a different major before nursing and when I was 18 I didn't take it as seriously or learn good study habits. My cumulative gpa...
  7. When schools do have preferences they give it to their residents. This is because the residents are residing in the state and paying their taxes, which helps fund the school. It depends on the nursing...
  8. Do I have any chance to get in?!!!

    No, you can't skip nursing school and take the NCLEX. A bachelors in a different degree wont do anything for you. In my state, immigrants with nursing/doctor degrees, experience and other...
  9. 1. It really depends on where you live. Call around the hospitals you plan to work at after you graduate and ask. In big cities they usually only hire BSN nurses in the hospital, but some rural areas...
  10. Feeling discouraged

    I don't think the professor was unreasonable. It is the typical response of most professors. If you put down your syllabus's grading percentages I can show you how to do it. I do it all the time to...
  11. Has anyone gone from a BA to a BSN?

    No, you can not get your BSN online. The only people that can do that are ADN RNs. This is because in order to become a nurse, clinical skills are essential. For example, would you want a nurse to...
  12. 2.5 gpa hello will i get into nursing school

    I'm going to be completely honest with you. With a 2.5 gpa it is very unlikely you will be able to get into any nursing program. That is usually the bare minimum to even apply for the program and even...
  13. Need help struggling in math will i ever get in?

    If nursing is what you really want to do. Do NOT settle for anything else. Nursing is so hard to get into because there are so many people that want to do it. There is no nursing shortage for new...
  14. pre reqs and transferring schools

    You have a few options. Retake all the classes you didn't do good in to higher your gpa, but since it is a different major this is probably not your best option. Find a BSN program that only looks at...
  15. Uncontrollable desire to be a nurse

    How many classes do you have done that gave you the 2.8 gpa? If it is only a few then getting straight A's or close to it this semester will really help boost your gpa. Nursing schools very...
  16. Edison State College admission (Florida)

    I will be stalking this thread lol. I will be applying next
  17. Confused about nursing program Gpa requirements

    I looked on that schools website and it looks like they only factor in prereq weight so you should be fine :). You should call their admissions office just to double check since you are moving for it....
  18. Confused about nursing program Gpa requirements

    Do you know the college(s) you want to transfer to afterwards? You can usually look on their website to find out. Go to the undergrad nursing section and see the admissions. If it says cumulative GPA...
  19. Confused about nursing program Gpa requirements

    Maybe you should think of applying to an ADN program. Most BSN programs look at cumulative gpa. I had a different major before nursing and my cumulative gpa is 3.1 and finishing my prereqs won't raise...
  20. I am not familiar with the va benefits, but with financial aid if you drop a class you have to pay it back. However, if you finish it and get a bad grade, you will have to pay to retake it anyway...
  21. I hate waiting!!

    I didn't take the NLN, but I understand the nervousness of getting into the program. I am anxious and I won't even be applying until next year haha. Also on a completely unrelated note, I love your...
  22. Mee9mee9, that is what I plan on doing. I'm just focusing on getting my prereqs done and getting into nursing school first. Thankfully the hospitals around me still hire ADNs because I am a few hours...
  23. Having a lot of trouble with Microbiology!!!

    I am not taking micro until the fall semester but I just checked on wikipedia. Look up the terms DNA virus and RNA virus then you will find your answers. Hope this helps
  24. What are the basic pre rec requirements?

    It really depends on your school. The nursing program you want to go to should have a list of prereqs. For my school you have to have bio done before you can take a&p or
  25. Your ABSN program is starting fairly soon so I think you should wait until you are done the program or close to it. After you secure a job and figure out when their probation period ends you can start...
