  3. I have a dilemma

    Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  4. I have a dilemma

    Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  11. I have a dilemma

    Careerchange88 replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...
