  1. C in pre-req class is that entirely bad????!!

    Trenata replied to 2016hun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the school and competitiveness. I am in Texas and I have a 3.4 and busting my rear end to bring it up, because 3.4 is below par for acceptance into nursing school here. I made a few C's...

  2. Rethinking my choice

    Trenata replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not a nurse yet and agree that all the negative comments seen here can be disconcerting! However, if you visit any forum regarding a specific topic most of the posts are negative or complaining....

  4. Pros/Cons of a Western Governors degree

    Trenata replied to bbothwell's topic in Western Governors University

    I guess I should contact my school of choice for a masters and see what the competitive GPA is around here. In Texas, near DFW, it is very competitive due to the many nursing schools in the area. Any...

  5. Pros/Cons of a Western Governors degree

    Trenata replied to bbothwell's topic in Western Governors University

    I realize they are competency based. However, I wonder if there is some way that they can make a change in the outgoing GPA seen by other universities. It is the greatest disadvantage I can see at...

  8. Pros/Cons of a Western Governors degree

    Trenata replied to bbothwell's topic in Western Governors University

    LoveToHike, are you in the clinical part of the program or in the non-clincal first 6 months of the program? If you are in the clinical part, are you located in Texas? I would love to ask some...

  9. Is it too risky to withdraw my approved UTA nursing application?

    Trenata replied to mimi74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it would be unlikely to complete all of those classes during summer with kiddos at home. You are looking at 16-18 credit hours! I am actually surprised they accepted you with all those classes...

  11. RN-BSN Statistics & Biochem (wanting to start studying early)

    Trenata replied to msa9179's topic in Western Governors University

    Skoolrn, how are you doing these classes so quickly??? I am not in the program yet, but are these classes so easy that you can get through them in such a short amount of time or are you doing nothing...

  12. Starting pay question?

    Trenata replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Students

  14. Formaldehyde Allergic Reactions anyone? - Maybe?

    Trenata replied to samanthajo23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the best way to find out, if you know you are going to do another dissection is to take an antihistamine. However, it does sound like you could have been sick yet aggravated by the chemicals....

  15. Environmental Biology In 4 Weeks?

    Trenata replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Data Dumping and Nursing School

    Trenata replied to PookaTown's topic in General Students

    Great advice, I am glad I came across this post. I feel like some of the info I just learned in A&P I is slipping away - I mean do they really give you enough time to learn and retain all the...

  17. Scared to death about A&P

    Trenata replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you go into it with the expectation that A&P will be challenging but willing to work/study hard and devote the time to it, you will do fine. It isn't like a general ed class you can just breeze...

  18. Accelerated A&P and 2 weeks to learn a ton of info!

    Trenata posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Accelerated A&P and 2 weeks to learn a ton of info!

    Trenata replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no doubt I will pass the class. I do have a tough instructor and I think I feel overwhelmed by muscle anatomy. I get physiology much better than memorizing anatomy and do feel much more...

    Trenata replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have DEFINITELY NOT procrastinated in any way!!! However, I wasn't able to study for 2 days when my son was home sick from school - 2 days is a big deal! Yes, 30 hours is about it if not slightly...

    Trenata replied to mtngal77's topic in Western Governors University

    I am not yet part of the program as I am working on prereqs, but if you contact an adviser, they are very helpful and can answer your questions. I don't know about blocks, but I do know that clinicals...

  22. Accelerated A&P and 2 weeks to learn a ton of info!

    Trenata replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know, I have wondered how in the heck people do it in 5 weeks! I guess if you that is ALL you do for 5 weeks, it would work. My prof said they skip several chapters which include the cell biology...

    Trenata replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trenata replied to XmasShopperRN's topic in Western Governors University

    Nutrition sounds like it will be easy. I have 2 year certification as a nutrition consultant. So how does it work? Once you finish a class, does another one open up when you want or do they only open...
