1. I have a dilemma

   Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's a good point. I want to end up with the bachelors anyway if I want to work in a hospital. Maybe I just research schools in the states my husband is considering and then do prereqs for those programs. It's just hard because I have no clue where...

2. I have a dilemma

   I know it's a public forum. So I can say what I want too. I guess I've taken a few comments as rude. And bedside manner is different than sticking up for yourself :)

   You interpreted that wrong. I meant because of my low GPA I can't go for a bachelors right away. Never said cc was bad. That's what I'm applying for. The pass rate at the school is about 90%. How did you do on your HESI reading comprehension?

4. I have a dilemma

   Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Both bsn programs are actually strict at the schools I looked into. Would have to retake courses from my previous degree and other ones to raise my GPA until I can be admitted. And trust me, I'd be doing that for awhile to get the GPA raised.

   Yes. I know that. That's why I said its a case by case basis. I know nothing is a guarantee. And my current prereq GPA is a 3.7.

   It's columbus state community college. 90% pass. Accredited. Students love it. Yes I have done my homework.

7. I have a dilemma

   Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes it is. GPA of most recent coursework. (If your previous degree is not above a 2.6) So the prereqs. Then you have to keep that. Also my Hesi is not JUST passing. A 96 is far above that. Admissions takes people case by case. People on these boards...

   Bsn programs rely more heavily on your previous college degree. Not willIng to give me a chance. Even though my HESI is an overall 96.

9. I have a dilemma

   Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I've talked with the community college. As long as I get above a 2.6 in the pre Reqs I can be admitted. What killed me in engineering was the upper level math. Nurses don't take differential equations and calculus. So to your points, yes I am smart ...

    Careerchange88 posted a topic in Relations

    I hate this comment. I have a degree in biomedical engineering but my passion is in nursing so I'm going back to school for that. Lots of people say I'm too smart to waste it on nursing. Have people said this about nursing? I'd think you'd have to...

15. Should I go into nursing of injured?

    Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in General Students

    no he isn't in any other way. He is just legitimately worried I will have to get an ankle replacement sooner bc of the hardness on your body as a nurse. I haven't started nursing school. Still deciding if it is the right path for me.
