  1. A&P2 and Microbiology

    I did it and barely made As in both classes. While I wouldn't recommend taking both at the same time, it's doable if you have a strong background in science. You'll see a lot of the same concepts from...
  2. Mt. Sac nursing 2017

    So does anyone have any idea how soon after applications close we'll be notified if we got in? I'm scheduled to take the TEAS at another school on the 22nd and I really don't want to have to study if...
  3. HESI-A2 Test Advice!!

    1. What is the testing environment like? I understand it is taken on the computer, but how was the place you took it at? Did you take the test at the same time as other people, or were you on your...
  4. C in anatomy :/

    Whether or not that C is going to hurt you depends on how competitive nursing programs are in your area. In general though, if you maintain a high overall GPA and ace Phys and Micro I don't think you...
  5. Summer Classes

    Wow... congratulations! I took these Anat/Micro together during the fall (16 wks) and it was brutal. I can't imagine doing them both over a condensed semester and getting 2 A's. Congrats to everyone...
  6. Mt. Sac nursing 2017

    I'm applying in a few days as well, coming in with 86-88 points. Hopefully we all get in. Good luck,
  7. ...and I got a 92%! :) I figured I'd make a post sharing my test taking experience in the hopes that it helps someone out. I only used the Elsevier HESI A2 4th edition text to study. A&P: 80% This...
  8. Am I good enough??

    I graduated high school in the bottom third of my class
  9. What are the best classes to take together?

    -Chem before anything bio related (Anatomy/Physiology/Micro). -Soc, Communication, Nutrition were easy A's at my school. I'd spread those out and try to pair them with some of the harder classes so...
  10. I took micro and anatomy in the same semester last year. Got A's in both classes, but only by the skin of my teeth (was 1% off an A in micro and the professor liked me enough to bump up my grade)....
  11. Biology before microbiology

    Biology helped me in Micro, Anatomy, and
  12. Help!!!! Advice needed!!!

    Go straight for your ADN/BSN if you feel like you'll do well with your prereqs - you won't need the LPN experience if your grades are good
  13. Grades for admission

    I can't speak for the schools in your area, but in SoCal you'd be fine. Most of the ADN programs here look at two things in terms of grades: your core science GPA (micro, A&P1/2) and your overall...
  14. Anatomy and physiology 1

    I think my school handles A&P differently than most. The first semester is strictly anatomy (IDs and structure) while the second covers physiology (pathways). I got an A in anatomy and currently...
  15. Grades are in! How did you do?

    A's in Micro and Anatomy. TBH, I was a bit surprised about my Micro grade. My professor posted our point totals before posting our final grade, and I had calculated my overall point total to be a...
  16. To old for nursing school?

    I don't think you're too old. 29 here and just starting to apply to programs, I'll probably be 32 when all is said and
  17. W's on Transcript

    Like others have said, how W's will impact your chances of getting in a program will vary from school to school. However, I don't think you should have too much trouble finding another school as long...
  18. Favorite ways to study for A&P and biology

    Flash cards worked best for me. Took A&P and Microbio last semester and aced both. I took obsessive notes in class, made flash cards with questions from those notes, and reviewed for ~2hrs every...
