    First semester is the most hectic. Unless they have changed it you will be at school everyday Mon-Fri. I have worked anywhere from 15-32 hrs the whole time I've been in the program which includes the...

    All your stats sound great. I would be surprised if y'all didn't get in. I know people that received 72-74 and got in to our class. I personally got a 82.5 and here I am in my last semester of the...

    Just an update. I talked to many professors and they said first semester success has been revamped. The way they described it make it seem like it would be a great aid to your studies. I would...

    erick2768 replied to lamchops's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with other. Success was not helpful at all. Most only took it for financial aid purposes as it gave them more units. However, once you are in third semester and if you are lucky enough to get...

    You'll all do great! Time flies by. Make your time at clinicals count! Remember in about a year you will basically be the nurse! 3rd semester is really a turning point. At least that's how it feels...

    erick2768 replied to dhart_89's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, from my understanding most of the upper division classes for Bachelor's are the same. So since you already took those classes you should only need the core BSN classes. Also, I guess it depends...

    erick2768 replied to dhart_89's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm in it and so far it seems easy enough. We took pathophysiology and epidemiology the first summer. Only Epi was kind of difficult because it's a hidden math class but our professor was awesome. If...

    Hey I'm currently in my second semester and can give some insight on the first semester schedule. For the first half about 6 weeks or so you will have class everyday minus the weekends. I don't...

    As first semester nursing students I believe your schedule is finalized last, unfortunately. But expect to go everyday for the first half of the semester. I heard it through grapevine that some of the...

    Lol. I'm a boy my name is Erick. But it's understandable because most of your classmates will still be women. Apparently our class demographics is unheard of since we have 10 men. I won't be taking...
