  1. I am so frustrated and angry with my school

    mrsboots87 replied to loveSBK's topic in General Students

    Stephalumps comment made me realize something about my comment. I just want to clarify that I don't think you should actually tell the instructor to regrade all of them (not that you would). I would...

  2. I am so frustrated and angry with my school

    mrsboots87 replied to loveSBK's topic in General Students

    Yes you certainly can do something about it. That is unfair grading practice on so many levels. First, she cant selectively grade the As and change all the grades. If she thins you got an F, but your...

  3. chronic illness and the dreaded school physical

    mrsboots87 replied to wayward_pitbulls's topic in General Students

    The physical form should not ask about mental illness. If it does, that is odd, but still may not matter. Your PCP just needs to do a physcial to see if you are capable of completing the program. This...

  4. How will grading work if i take anatomy at two different schools?

    mrsboots87 replied to msmith34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, ask your advisor about their retake policy. Some schools (like mine) will replace failing grades with the higher passing grade and the failing grade will not show on your official transcript...

  5. anxiety just starting

    mrsboots87 replied to Hascher99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. GPA from different schools into Nursing Program

    mrsboots87 replied to tkim44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The nursing program administration does not care about your highschool GPA or how "hard" the University is. They will care about your GPA. What would be unfair is if someone who worked hard for their...

  8. Have I ruined my chances of getting into nursing school?

    mrsboots87 replied to maddiem's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some ADN programs have waitlists that you would have no problem getting into, and some are just as competitive to get into as BSN programs. However, I don't think you are screwed because of grades....

  10. Current RN program- School Policy Changes

    mrsboots87 replied to LVN/RNBridge's topic in General Students

  11. Current RN program- School Policy Changes

    mrsboots87 replied to LVN/RNBridge's topic in General Students

    Its kind of a gray area. Is the school is pumping out too many graduates who cant pass the NCLEX, then they look bad, and need to be more strict with grades. This usually leads to policy change in...

  17. Drug Test/Physical Question

    mrsboots87 replied to furelite's topic in General Students

  19. Retaking Anatomy 1?

    mrsboots87 replied to SMS1130's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It will really depend on the competitiveness of the school, how high your entrance exam score was, and if there are any other application requirements that carry placement weight. If you have a low...

  24. Should I be worried??

    mrsboots87 replied to kdixon123's topic in General Students
