ANMpreN

There may be a possibility...a very small possibility that your license may be delayed. But it does vary state by state, some states don't punish you if it's expunged and it happened 5+ years ago. Others factor in your age, how many times it occurred, and if you paid your dues or not. I would do some research on how your state would handle these things. Also I don't why you should delay your pregnancy on whether or not your license will be delayed because you never know. If you feel like you are truly come to end or whether you will get pregnant then I don't see why you can't just get pregnant while still in process of getting your license, criminal record or not.

Are you saying your school allows 3 repeats per class? If so then of course you have a chance to get in. But I would advise for you to not to take another science or math class with A&P or continuing using the same study habits that hasn't worked for you in the past.

I'm sorry life has not been easy for you, as well as coping with your depression and lost of your brother. I say that a 3.52 is good enough to get into a nursing program but as far as those hiccups go you need to find a lenient, less competitive nursing program where they would look only at your pre-reqs, GPA, and admission exam. It also wont hurt you to apply as many nursing programs as you can to increase your chances. Even if that chance includes an LPN program. You might even have to look out of state, but all-in-all it will be worth it.

It's a catholic private university... But as far as I know they told me the laptop is $0.

I know this might not relate to nursing but I need help nonetheless... I'm finishing up my pre-reqs as a pre-nursing student this fall ( I started school in the summer) and my school is giving all incoming freshmans for the fall and all current freshmans (from the summer) free laptops for us to keep as our own personal use. However, only a certain group of students can pick up their laptops next Monday if they were conditionally admitted into the school if they scored below a 22 in math on the ACT (they have to be in a math program). I was that student who scored a 21, so of course I was conditionally admitted for this fall. But I took a test similar to the compass where I tested out of being conditionally admitted, so long story short I received an email, 8 days ago from the Dean of Students telling me to come pick up my laptop on Monday. I've been trying to get in touch with the DOS for 8 days straight but they are not answering their phones or emailing me back, so should I just go pick up my laptop even though I'm "technically" not allowed to get it yet? The email addressed my processing number, the assigned brand, and the room I'm supposed to pick it up in. I'm sorry for the long post, I tried to make it short as possible though.

They'll admit just about anyone so make sure you get at least a 75% on the HESI for math and reading and a "C" in all 24 transfer credit hours...

Can you pin-point the specific reason why you've may have received two B's in your chem classes? Because if you know the reason why you didn't get A's in those science classes then you can change your study habits (or whatever) to make sure you can get them A's in your final prequisites classes. Also do you know an estimate of when you would take your Teas? If it's January or February then I would start getting the necessary study materials now and begin taking it day by day. Because even if you don't get the overall GPA you're looking for you can still do amazing on the Teas and it will make up for it.

I'm sorry if I offended you with my comment, but throwing the comment out was also not my intent to bash Holistic Care. All I was saying is that when I attended orientation the whole focus of the program seems to be Holistic Care. Yes, I do attend a Catholic school so I feel as this is one of the main reasons why it may be Holistic focused because of the inner being spirituality principals my instructors all spoke of. But I've also met a lot of doctors and nurses who practiced Holistic Care that day and the speciality does appeal to me. I really like my school and I'm not prejudiced in any way to stop attending a school just because it is Catholic. Because I was raised differently and was not exposed to religion to be completely surrounded in it can make a person feel uneasy at first you wouldn't know how to act around certain people, but I'm getting used to it. Also I meant my statement of my school "suffocating" me as I as though you just can't expressed yourself how you really want to express yourself. But that small issue is not enough for me to stop attending my school but I've met some really great people and I do want to give the Holistic Care practice a shot. Lol, sorry for my grammer; it's 7am in the morning and I don't have time to edit it.

Definitely go for your ASN. Even though you would finish much sooner with the BSN I still don't recommend getting into that much debt. Just work with the loans you got, go for you ASN, then find a hospital that will reimburse you for your BSN. Also your RN-BSN program shouldn't even take up a good deal of your time since you have most of your general education down pack ( I recommend Western Governors University if you choose the RN-BSN route since it has a flat rate each term).

Lol, I didn't make the thread and no I'm a good kid.

This is actually what I am really afraid of and would probably lose many of my friends that I just made. My parents told me to just go along with it because they don't want me feeling octracised. Because we actually don't start our nursing program until Jan. 10 in the university but until then I want to make a lot of friends as possible this summer (we started school June 15th).

Well for one it's a very prestigious university that will no doubt open many doors for me. And I was never exposed to religion as I am now at this school, most of my classmates are all Catholics and alway wants to pray before study time or to take an exam, so I just go with it. But I never felt this uncomfortable around religion until I came to this school, and now I'm just suffocating in it. There is even a cathedral a walk ways from my dorm. You just can't get away from it.

Lol, they may require that but there will people who will apply with a 3.5 or above. My nursing program requires you to have a 3.5 to even be considered, so there will be people who are applying with a 4.0 or above if they took any honors on a 5.0 scale (there was a girl who got a 4.0 and got waitlisted because she supposedly had a "W''). Never be deceived by the minimum requirements, at least aim for a 3.0 or higher.

No, but my school boasts on being holistic focused.

You worked two jobs while going to school and only earned a "C"? I don't know about you but I find that very admirable. Because the only reason why I got A's was because I chose not to work and I just had so much free time on my hands to study up to 6 hours daily, plus time to read a novel for fun. So I commened you on that, and just try not to be so hard on yourself all the time.
