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...

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...

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 nurs...

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 fres...

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

Peds nurses how are you able to detach yourself emotionally from hurting children and babies? I can't even watch a 5 min clip of children in the ER without crying about it. I wanted to be a pediatric nurse in a children's hospital but not anymore.

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 g...

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 ...

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 y...

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 un...

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...

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 sc...

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 ...

I totally agree with you. Religion makes me so uncomfortable, and before I came upon this post I honestly thought that all nurses would be required to show some kind of spiritual support. But I guess not.

If a psych floor is not what you're looking floor or wanting to go back to then I wouldn't take the assignment. Because if you do happen to take the floor then you'll just be settling for anything. But it's ideally up to your decision if you choose t...

If you actually end up unintentionally failing the course then retaking it will be the only option you'll most likely have. Also I'm sure no one really has a definite answer for you since it's your future and it should be your own decision if you wan...

I second this. If you are receiving a really low grade in the class and the school you're applying to is looking for "stellar" then by all means drop the class then prove yourself to be more than capable.

Yes, nursing programs are soo competitive these days that some even requires no "W" (my school is like that). I also heard that some nursing programs have certain tier groups where they place students into "tier 1" if they repeated no classes, and th...

Thank you for being so encouraging! And seeing children in pain hits home where my young neice was always in pain, suffering from Acute Chest Syndrome.

Thank you for responding, and yeah lol I've definitely learned my lesson, I am now taking out an hour a day to study for the test. Also I don't want to sound unintelligent but I honestly never thought of clinicals revolving around just learning how t...

What was nursing school like for you? Did you acheive or went beyond your attended GPA goal for prerequisites and/or your overall GPA in general? What was the most challenging part for you in trying to keep your GPA up in prequistes or nursing school...

Thank you for responding! And I do agree with you on connecting with other students, especially since I will be attending a university and dorming with other future nurses. Also would you recommend that I should get my CNA license next summer? I'm ju...
