    UnicornMagic replied to CsBlog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. SPC students applying for fall 2017??

    UnicornMagic replied to CsBlog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not true. A huge chunk of your cohorts are EAYL students, who generally have much lower GPAs. There are people in my cohort who have 3.2, possibly even lower. In the grand scheme of things, your GPA...

    I'm not sure about the other schools, but SPC recently changed (or are soon changing) their requirements for the bridge program to include 1 year of recent LPN experience. There are so many students...

  13. Trouble with sciences...

    UnicornMagic replied to gabriellepeel's topic in General Students

    90% of your studies will be science. If you take A&P and feel you cannot grasp it, nursing is not for you. It gets much, much more in depth once you are in a nursing

  14. Has anyone been kicked out of nursing school after the FIRST semester?

    UnicornMagic replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    A girl was kicked out for pushing IV meds, then bragging about it. Pushing IV meds is a HUGE no-no. She was a disgusting person, and everyone was glad to see her

  19. GPA, Competitive nursing programs, stressed

    UnicornMagic replied to JePierreB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ask your advisor what your school takes into consideration. My school only counts the program GPA, not the cumulative. If that is the case for you, your qualifying GPA may be higher than you

  20. Med surg help

    UnicornMagic replied to Csf102727's topic in General Students

  21. Galen or Rasmussen?? Advice needed

    UnicornMagic replied to bordlemaya's topic in General Students

    UnicornMagic replied to amber_nicolee22's topic in General Students

    Use that time to finish extra prereqs needed for your BSN, even if you are unsure you want it. It would be better to have those classes out of the way now, in case you decide to further your...
