  1. Do I even have a chance? Pls be honest

    I'm in the Philadelphia area, and the people in my classes gunning for BSN programs normally have a higher GPA and no withdrawals or failures. This area is rough when it comes to nursing schools. I'm...
  2. Anatomy or Chemistry First

    I took Chem first, and I felt like it helped me in AP1. There is a Chem review in AP1 and while it isn't necessary for you to take Chem first, it definitely helps you understand why some bodily...
  3. Fall semester pre reqs

    Oops, you meant before? AP coloring book saved my
  4. Fall semester pre reqs

    For Chem, I'd recommend getting used to accurately rounding off and significant figures. Learning how to convert between metric and imperial. Understanding your periodic table and it's layout. For...
  5. Interested in Nursing

    I'd recommend going to a CC for your prereqs. I have a prior degree and am going to my local CC for my prereqs... What I have found is that there are more tutoring services and after class time to...
  6. What do you want to specialize in? And why?

    I currently work in dual geriatrics /mental health, and I would like to do that if I can get into nursing school next
  7. Nursing Pre-reqs

    Excelling in Biology is crucial for success in nursing in general... I would retake the class and ace it. If you didn't do well in remedial Bio, as you said, you will probably not do so well in AP1....
  8. First Semester Prerequisite Courses!

    Those sciences are of the utmost importance. Those are the ones most programs require you to do well in. I started last summer after four years out of school, and I came in with the attitude that I...
  9. Should I retake my B courses?

    I would contact the schools I wanted to apply to for their retake policies. I know of the three schools I am looking at, two don't allow retakes. If you have the opportunity to retake, you can afford...
  10. Should I wait to have a baby?

    That's tough. I know people your age that are in a rush to have children, and I totally understand that. I've heard of people being *very* pregnant during nursing school, having the baby during the...

    What are you taking
  12. Lasalle Achieve 2016

    Oh, and I know someone in the ACHIEVE program now, and he says they have really ramped up the amount of NCLEX style questions they need to answer on a recurring
  13. Lasalle Achieve 2016

    I'm here! I'm so glad I can talk to some people trying to get in as well. I have three more prerequisites to go and I'm applying in the
  14. STUDYING HABITS?

    Quizlet was only helpful for histology for me. I'm a big visual flashcards person. I'm taking Micro starting the 7th and just bought some mnemonics flashcards. World of
  15. I work with the elderly in a clinical setting, and they are by far my favorite population. They are funny, they warm up quickly, and even the ones with dementia can teach you
  16. That GPA is with the prerequisites
  17. Hardest part about a&p for you?

    Krebs blows. I dislike bone markings. Unfortunately my AP professor was... Unreliable and I had to teach
  18. I feel like a failure.

    A 4-week class is tough, and I'll admit even good students will struggle with this course length if they have a tedious studying routine. (I do, I'm a slow reader and I take constant notes.) Don't...
  19. I'm taking Nutrition now, which is a killer and I'm one of the few with an A right now. I take Micro for Summer 2 and AP2/Stats in the fall. I have a 4.0 in the prereqs. I will be applying to programs...
  20. Philly Nursing Prereq help!!!

    Is there a specific reason you cannot do your pre requisites on campus? CCP does all of the necessary courses, it's relatively cheap, and there's many campuses. My only worry for you would be them...
  21. pre-reqs

    People take various amounts of time. I spread seven classes out over a year and a half... But I work full time and those hours aren't flexible. Some people zip right by in less than a year and some...
  22. Monster of Pre-Requisites

    When I'm done (Christmas), it will have taken me about a year and half to complete all the prereqs. Four summer sessions and two fall sessions. Seven classes in
  23. How hard is A&P really?

    Honestly, I loved it. My professor said he made the class purposely difficult because he knows this class is one of those classes people in nursing should excel in. (I don't know if I fully believe...
  24. Aced A&P 1. I had the worst professor and basically had to self teach... Which makes me all the more
  25. A&P - Overwhelmed by neural tissue

    I have a coworker in nursing school and he said that it's a little different in nursing school. It's difficult but prereqs are more stressful in the sense that you are just trying to get in. I hope I...
