Thx cutiepie4461. I did change my mind before you posted up about the swim team. I had a lot of my friends telling me not to join any sports and I find them right. Right now it's to focus on what's really important. But one thing's for sure, I'm not gonna join a bundle of clubs that would overwhelm me when it comes time to finals. I might join maybe one or 2. But thx for giving this advice to me and all of the people wanting to become future nurses. And I agree what's most important is the grades, PAX, and the interviews. Those are what's needed to guide you to the world of nursing.

So I'm going to be a matriculate student at QCC (Queensborough community college) during fall of 2014. I'm just so excited to be accepted into the pre-clinical program but the long journey won't start until I actually pass the NLN-PAX exam to get to the nursing program. . For now my concerns are about registering for classes. I need some advice on which class I should take on the same day as the others. And which liberal arts and science electives would be the most easiest one and is very useful in the near future than the rest. For now I want to take simple so I can have a better grade and a higher percentage to get into the nursing program. Pre-requisites requirement http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/nursing/aasNursingDegreeProgram.html I would like my scheduled to be... In the morning Have either Monday or Friday off (if it's 2 classes per day) I would like to find classes that are combines comfortable. Not like a super hard class with another super hard class. maybe an easy with a hard class Recommend an elective that would be best to take Recommend tips on which classes I should save later or not be taken at the same day as a specific class This would help me in choosing a scheduled that won't overwhelm me with pressure. I would also like to join a swim team and some clubs so please recommend me some classes that I can work with and not be bothered with other school activities. I was thinking if I'm active there's a more of a chance to get into the nursing program. I can't wait to be part of QCC in the fall of 2014 and I'm looking forward to it. THANK YOU!!!!

Thx caroG5 !! I will take this into consideration and thx for answering all (if not most) of my questions. The tips were very helpful

Thx NY_teach for the back up information. I'll consider it when things goes wrong at QCC.

Ooh ok thx again undone. :). I'll be sure to take all before nursing

Thank you Undone. So financial aid covers a particular major? and if I don't do A&P and microwith nursing, so I need to take them before nursing (pre-requisites)? And can you pick certain classes with in liberal arts or any major in general to get all the requirements/classes you need to get into nursing?

Thx mom2sam :) I will devote my time to study a lot to become a future nurse. Yes it's very competitive and I will do the best of my abilities to get into the nursing school:nurse:

First I would like to say I'm a senior that is going to become a matriculated student at QCC Fall 2014. I have called administration office twice about changing my major since I put digital arts when I was applying for college but they told me to only change it in the first day of school. I then went straight to QCC in person to hand in my deposit money/ freshman application form. One of the administrators changed my major from digital arts to Liberal arts saying that liberal arts is takeing pre-requisites. :unsure:I had my doubts, because I did some research and the pre-requisites requirements as shown in this website: http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/academics/degree-programs/aas-nursing.html. does not match with the credits I need for nursing requirements I remember when I was researching the Liberal arts program they don't have A&P and Psychology :http://www.qcc.cuny.edu/academics/degree-programs/liberal-arts-and-sciences-aa.html I'm going back to meet them in person to ask for my major changed before I get my scheduled. I would like to know if there is really a major called pre-nursing for the pre-requisites? If so I might go from Liberal arts to pre-nursing. Can anyone tell me how they get the classes for pre-requisites and if there's any tips or suggestions you would like to tell me so I can be prepared. Here's some questions I've been concerned about: How long does it take to complete pre-requisite courses? is it hard to get the classes you need? (cuz I heard classes fill up really fast) Is there a major for pre-requisites? Does most, if not all the credits count or satisfy the need of a university? What is the minimum score students need in the Pre-admission exam in order to get into the nursing program? What are the average students that sign up for nursing and how many were accepted? If you don't get accepted into a nursing program....then what? I heard there's an interview, is this true? what study methods u suggest during stressful times? If you do poorly in one course, drop the class, can you retake the course again? and just some helpful tips to prepare me for getting into the QCC nursing school I'm kind of nervous for college, and not understanding more about the nursing program stress me out, and giving me the Liberal arts program got me worried. If there's any QCC students out there, please give me some advice. THANK YOU!!!
