    I appreciate the feedback. I still have to take the TEAS and HESI as well, before I apply. I am volunteering on the Close Observation Unit at a local hospital and will probably have about 150 to 200...

  2. Am I Competitve enough?

    jnichox2 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi. So I am a pre-nursing student at a Community College and am wondering if my current grades will be competitive enough to get into a program. I will begin to apply to nursing schools in about two...

  3. Best order for science prereqs

    jnichox2 replied to thinkingcap's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally like Option #3 the best, due to the fact that its the order I'm doing things. I found that there was pieces of chem sprinkled through A&P1. So its better to have that foundation. In...

  4. How many schools are you applying to.

    jnichox2 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to get a general idea of how many schools(programs) other pre-nursing students will apply to. I will be applying out-of-state to eight schools. The majority being in Florida(I'm from...

  5. Courses you found useful...

    jnichox2 replied to yopinkman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    jnichox2 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Is this a realistic course load?

    jnichox2 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the info. I think it's a good idea to attend each class the first week and identify how much will be put on me. If it's too much I will probably drop the stats or u.s. History. I think I...

    jnichox2 replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jnichox2 replied to Natasha A.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    English 1 or Composition 1 is based around a lot of writing. It may be different for you but for me I had to write 4 essays, a bunch of journal entries on a theme for the semester, and in class...

    jnichox2 replied to RunBabyRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  21. Anyone taken a&p I & a&p II at fscj at the same time?

    jnichox2 replied to iraisa22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just like @LL143KnB said A&P 1 is a pre-req for A&P 2. Usually it is not possible to take them concurrently. The only way it might be possible is you make an appointment with the head of the...

    jnichox2 replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get some more binders. A binder or at least a 3 subject notebook for each class always helped me with organization. Note cards are a big help to. But all in all, just wait until you get the syllabi...
