   You will not be taught the math in class! It is expected you know it coming in! They will post some practice questions and may have a sign up session for a small math session, but the lecture content does not contain any math.

   This is an example of what the tests are like. The ones with all the extra info , the A FIB and vent pt, are a more info than what would be on there. The IV questions and , mcg/kg/min, is second semester stuff. [TABLE=class: mtq_question_heading_tabl...

   Wait until you start and feel others out! I still do better just studying by myself, but it does help to throw things off one another and see others rationales on why they chose that answer.

   I had a 4.0 coming in and a 78 on my TEAS. I know several classmates who barely made the 3.2 gpa and 65 teas score cutoff and were still accepted!

    Oh, one of the best pieces of advice I can give is to take dosage calculations over the summer! If you aren't seriously brushed up on math then it'll be great! I'm very good at math but I believe I would have been lost had I not taken it the summer b...

    I did not buy the book and I don't think any of those that did where any more prepared going in! There will be an umpteen amount of books they tell you to buy and the truth is you will get by without most! At least I have!

    I live in the south, Atlanta to be exact, and I was just accepted into an ADN program. It is through a community college and the lowest GPA they will accept is a 3 overall and a 3.3 in just sciences, but you have to have a much better score than that...
