That's really unfortunate, makes you scratch your head.... You should think after the grueling task of getting in people figured out what to expect concerning studying and have developed enough discipline....it is my understanding that it isn't that...

I forgot to mention that you need as close to 4.0 GPA as you can get. It's also verrrrry competitive here

:balloons:Congratulations :monkeydance:

GPA is EVERYTHING to be considered for acceptance, after acceptance the most important becomes CPR certification, criminal background check, immunizations and drug test in order to be able to register for the nursing classes . That's pretty much i...

I had what must be the WORST EVER chem teacher....5 people were left to take the final and I had the highest grade which was only a B I hope that you get lucky and get an ok one for the afternoon. Good luck, I so hear you about babysitting dilemma...

of course i don't want to hear it about the scale!

Wow, I enjoyed reading all your great advice!!! You are hired You are so right about not getting big and met alot of women who won't work out with weights because of that fear....I pretty much reached my natural muscle size. I am very toned and le...
