  2. Your science GPA is awesome! Great work! You never know you might be accepted even with the low TEAS score. It all depends on who else applies. You should look into which schools will accept a second...

    Volunteering would be a good way to see what the hospital environment is like. You can meet the nurses and patients and see what a typical day is like. But, as a volunteer you won't have the same...
  15. Isn't there normally a general chemistry class that covers the fundamentals before this class? I had a basic chem. class and then I took an org. and biochemistry class. If you're being put right into...

    I can't answer all your questions. But, I haven't heard of ANY school only looking at the standardized test. They look at a combination of science grades, gen. ed. grades, standardized tests, and...

  24. Nursing is my passion but I feel like I am too dumb.

    For the tissue/microscope pictures, I took actual pictures of the slide on my microscope in lab and then made flashcards with it. My teacher tested me on the microscope with the same exact slides, so...

    Katlin, You can do this! I took anatomy last semester and it was the hardest class I have ever taken. I'm in microbiology now, and so far I think microbiology is easier than anatomy. For me, the...
