    Is 35 too old to start from Scratch?

    I'm waiting to here back from nursing schools right now and will be 35 by the time I start assuming I'm accepted. 35 isn't old, if you think it is you are just a silly child who hasn't lived at
  2. I used the pocket prep app before my HESI A2 and found it very much worth the $10. I did have a few A&P questions on my test that weren't covered in my review and didn't do as well as I would have...

    I wrote about work life/personal life balance and the importance of taking care of yourself. Also the importance of prioritizing and being able to multi-task. Then wrote about my current job and how...

    Wow making a video is hard. Saying everything I want to say in no more than three minutes, not stumbling over my words, not fidgeting, or making stupid facial expressions. I'm at the point of just...

    Took my HESI A2 today, 93.2% overall, could have done a bit better but I'm happy enough with my score. Now just have to write my essay and make my
  8. I guess it depends on the individual program so talk to them. I'd assume having started the series again already you should be
  9. I'm studying to take the HESI A2 in two weeks. Quick question about the calculator availability during the math section. I remember reading there is an on screen calculator but I'm curious about the...
  10. Thanks. I'll be at the same testing center on the 17th. Metric isn't a problem at all for me. I work in a lab plus metric is all factors of 10. English measurements are what's confusing. Fingers...
  11. I'm planning on applying to two different aBSN programs for Fall 2017. Applications are due Jan 15th for my first choice school and find out if you are accepted in April, possibly late April. No...

    Application deadline dilemma

    Not really. Our department was bought by a small company about 2 years ago, lots of turn over since them. Small group, 10 people including lab manager and boss. Only one coworker has been here...

    Application deadline dilemma

    Not really. I just finished all my pre-reqs online at my local CC. They only one I have a tiny bit of a relationship with is my current Micro professor because we did have to do in person lab. But...

    GMU ABSN program 2017 applicants

    Essay and video topics are finally posted. I can't decide if I dislike this essay topic more than last years or not, not a fan of either of them. This years topic I'm just struggling to figure out...
  15. As has already mentioned it depends on what classes you need, how many you can/will take at a time, any pre-reqs for the pre-reqs you need, etc. I'm just finishing my last pre-req this week so I...

    As long as you have completed 2 of the 3 science classes (A&P I/II, Micro) I believe you are eligible to apply. It's more an issue of they have 200-300 people applying for 50 spots. Those who...

    What Kind of Nurse Do You Want To Be?

    Ha, sounds like something that could happen to me in my future. Getting ready to apply to nursing school in January for Fall start myself. I envision myself being fine dealing with patients but...

    Somewhat depends on what those four classes are but its not really in your favor to have four pending classes. If more than one of them is A&P or micro then you aren't eligible actually. They...

  21. When I was on the CLEP website they had a big study guide for all CLEP exams and a smaller review pack for the specific exam I was looking at
  22. I'm looking into doing CLEP for Chemistry right now and I'm pretty sure you need 50/75 not 50%, that's still only 66.66% but higher than 50% to pass. From what I've looked into for the Chemistry CLEP...

    age of transfer credits

    Wow, cell bio feels like overkill. Between A&P and micro everything I remember from cell bio is covered really. Do they allow CLEP exams? That's what I plan to do for Chemistry
