Rent your books at Chegg.com Seriously, I rented three books there AND a study guide booklet for only $74. (One of the books to rent at my campus bookstore was almost $150) After your classes end you print off a free shipping label from their website and send it back! Super easy and it saves so much time and money.

They don't use the points system. They factor up your GPA with science being worth 60% and everything else is 40%. The science classes are A&P 1,2, Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology. Here you can be admitted to the program after your second semester, if you've been accepted.

I'm feeling very discouraged. I met with my pre-nursing advisor the other week and she made it seem like because I got a C in A&P 1 that my chances for admittance to nursing is going to be very very slim. My problem is that even if I do re-take A&P 1 and get an A, the grade would average out to be a B. I'm taking chemistry and the core requirements (humanities, etc.) next semester and besides those, I'm basically done with the classes I can take that actually go towards my degree. For the nursing program, you apply in March and get a letter in June telling whether you got accepted for the fall or spring semester or not accepted at all. There isn't many other colleges around that I'm willing to transfer to because I need to stay close to family. I'm pretty set on getting my BSN but I don't want to waste money here if there's no chance of me getting in when the time comes. I would hate to wait 2+ years just to get accepted to the program, then have 3 more years on top of that (for actual nursing school) But in case this doesn't work out, do you all have any other suggestions for other degrees I could pursue? I'm fascinated with health care and the medical field.
