    Got a first F! scared of applying

    furelite replied to youngz93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would get out of that class while you can and save your GPA. You can't increase it if you fail again. If you do well in your other classes you can at least move it up a little. Your GPA may or may...

    furelite replied to Orizza's topic in General Students

    wordsofmymouth, that is exactly how I do it to. Dimensional Analysis is where it's at. I get very intimidated by other methods that might involve fractions divided by fraction. Freaks me out. DA...

    prereqs

    furelite replied to schoolforever's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree at this point the MOST important thing is you graduating with as high of a GPA as you can get. After you graduate, get your prereqs at a community college. This will be so much less...

    When do you usually finish your tests?

    furelite replied to bluesky94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the class and subject matter. If it is math, or a complex subject with questions that are wordy in a tricky manner, I am usually last. I have saved myself at least a couple of times by...

    Need to take stats, micro, & psych elective...should I add chem on top?

    furelite replied to Mosie posie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My experience was that both Statistics and Chemistry were heavy in very time consuming homework. Additionally, you would have two lab courses, so that's a pretty busy schedule. I wonder if you can...

    furelite posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Looking into Nursing Program, Weighing my options

    furelite replied to jerp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
