I am pursuing my AA in Allied Health Science. I have been a student online for three years and I am about to graduate. I know I am not in the program you are speaking of but if you have any questions about the school let me know!

I was not looking for any medical advise, just personal stories. I like all the input thank you!

I was but I felt she was not aggressive enough and find it a waste of time. I need to find a new one. My adhd causes me to forget things. For example where I put my keys. I notice it intensifies when I am stressed. I was told by a friend who is an RN that my OCD and ADHD can actually benefit me but I wanted to hear other perspectives

Does anyone have any mental disorders? I have OCD/ADHD and social anxiety. I often worry if these will hinder me in anyway. I struggle with them daily. I am in the process of finding medication that works for me. I was on concerta for my adhd and zoloft for my anxiety. Both medications did nothing for me so I am back to square one I am determined not to let my mental illnesses control my life and prevent me from being successful in life. Does anyone share the same feelings? How do you cope with your mental disorders? Because I have three forms of mental illnesses I would love to work as a psych nurse. I want to help others who suffer like me.

Yes I am open for anything really as far as programs go. I do not get the vibe that it is very competitive at the particular school that I am looking in to but that is me assuming. It helps that my in laws are very good friends with the director of nursing so I will be contacting her to give me some insight. I know I need to kick some major ass in the last few classes. I just hope that I do not have to retake Nutrition, College Math and Anatomy 1 over but if I need to to get in to a school then I will do so with a happy face It sucks because I had a 79 in Nutrition. That was one hard class to take online! I wonder how many nursing students get C's? I know I cant let it happen ever again. Good luck to you!

I have stats and human Path. and Micro so very important classes and yes I will ace them Thank you!

I feel pretty alone in the C department. lol Thank you I will do that! I am so glad I found this site. I am excited to start my journey. I start cna classes next month. I will be taking two classes. I hope clinicals arent too intense for this program. I heard CNA is quite easy though. I also heard after you graduate you have to take an exam. I guess I will find out

Are all entrance exams the same or do they vary from school to school? I am not sure what to expect on the exam.

I was just freaking out about having C's on my transcript lol

Thank you so much for your insight!

Hi all this is my first post to this site;) I am currently taking classes online in order to obtain my AA in Allied Health Science. I am a few classes away but I am putting the last few classes on hold so I can enroll at a tech school in my area to become a CNA. I then will be applying at a nursing school to obtain a BSN in Nursing. I am quite nervous right now that I wont be able to get in to nursing school because I heard it is so competitive. I completed all of my core classes but not very happy with some classes I received C's in. (College Math, Nutrition and A&p lab 1). The school I am looking to obtain my BSN in Nursing does not list these (all except a&p of course) as core classes. They look at overall GPA and the GPA of core classes. My overall gpa is a 3.3 and my gpa for my core classes is 3.1. The school requires students to have adleast a 2.5. Do you think I have a chance? Or I am worrying for nothing?
