  7. I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??

    Apply everywhere possible. Even community colleges. You can always take RN to BSN courses after you get your associates. Also make sure you take all pre-reqs, that way if it's a point based school...
  8. Do you have a plan B?

    Yes I did have a plan B. If I didn't get accepted I was going to take phlebotomy since I'm already a CNA. I was going to do that while I waited for the next application period, but I didn't have to...
  9. Well, pre-reqs are officially over!

  16. What Exactly Is A Point System?

    The point system at my college goes like this. You get so many points for being a CNA, you get so many points for having health care experience, you get so many points based on each grade, you get a...
  17. Failed Anatomy/Physiology 1 help me

    My advice for lab is take pictures of the models. Then print out the pictures and label the pictures with numbers, then keep quizing yourself. That's how I got 98-100s on all my lab tests. Good...

    Around where I live, you can not go from one nursing program to the other, the nursing courses don't transfer, just the pre-reqs transfer. Good luck, I would contact the school you want to apply to...
  23. Is 1 "C" bad?

    I say apply, and while you wait you can always retake it. Most schools it depends on what everyone else is applying with when you are applying. In A&P 1 I got a B- and in Micro I got a B- and in...
