   Telly67 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you have time and money you can learn anything. You need to factor in the hours of studying needed according to the hours of class and maybe add another hour to that, if you are just starting to get the hang of it you need more time. If you're wor...

3. Important Grades?

   Telly67 replied to Telly67's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, well I have tried to ask them, but so far I did not get clear answers there either. I also asked them what happens if you don't win the lottery after a few years (since at some point not sure when, the prereqs do expire). They don't have answer ...

   I have only completed classes for an AS degree, none of them have been from the nurse program prereq. list. Basically, those prereqs are what's left to complete both the AS degree as well as the nurse prereqs. I hope this makes it more clear now (it ...

7. Important Grades?

   Telly67 replied to Telly67's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know why, but talking to counselors at my school gave me a very different impression than the things people are saying here. Here many people are being very negative about my situation and talking about getting straight A's in order to get ac...

8. Important Grades?

   Telly67 replied to Telly67's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have not completed the prerequisites. I was told that to get into a nurse program you only need a 2.7 GPA in Chem,Anat,Phys,Micro. Since I have not done any of those isn't it as good as being at the beginning of college as far as the nurse program ...

   Telly67 replied to PrettyNerd's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have the same problem, it's because no one ever showed us different ways of studying and we never figured it out on our own. Intelligence has nothing to do with it, there are dumber people who know how to study better. This is the first thing I wil...

    Terrorist threat at age 15? I think you can request a copy of your own background check from the federal authorities? Also, I wonder if you would share your story when you were 15! That is crazy stuff.

    Very good information here. Thank you everyone! I am thinking to go for a degree in foreign languages as well. That way I will always have something to fall back on like working as a translator, possibly a medical records translator hmm. I still need...

    Telly67 replied to Telly67's topic in Pre-Nursing

    This is interesting to me, are you taking as many nurse program courses as possible before being in the nurse program? I have been worried about the nurse program being so compressed and wondering if there are alternatives where students could take f...

    Telly67 replied to Telly67's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You're all very encouraging and knowledgeable! Thank you. I will take all this advice and not give up. I was wondering do people cheat in some way to get through this (half joking)? I don't know how nurse students manage financially and academically,...

    Hi, I struggled my way financially and educationally, almost got through community college with an AS degree and made an attempt to fulfill the nurse program pre-requisites. My grades fell and I was disqualified from financial aid. Finally, I am taki...
