    CLEP Question

    Quota replied to ksingleton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on the school you are applying to. I'd suggest inquiring with the schools admissions department and see what they look at. The schools I'm personally looking at look at ALL the classes...

    Tips for nursing success?

    Quota replied to madisonbrasselle's topic in General Students

    And I got to look over my syllabus and course schedule for A&P I yesterday... It's an 8 week class jammed packed with work and assignments. Going to be a very busy 8 weeks. Regretting being so...

    Repeating classes for better grades?

    Quota posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I've been reading a bunch of threads for about a month here and have seen a number of people talking about taking classes multiple times to get a better grade. Is that actually common? I know...

    Repeating classes for better grades?

    Quota replied to Quota's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, that's why I was so confused to see so many people talk about repeating for the A. I know both schools I'm interested in aren't in favor of it and really I'd assume most wouldn't encourage

    I'm doing to same right now. Taking my pre-reqs online at a CC, 5 classes to complete, 3 with labs. I'm not positive how long it'll take me but less than a year. The next application cycle for the...

    Tips for nursing success?

    Quota replied to madisonbrasselle's topic in General Students

    I've literally JUST gotten back into school. Started my first pre-req class 4 weeks ago, start my second class on Monday. All online classes so I can mostly go at my own pace. The hardest thing...

    Got accepted but having doubts on nursing?

    Quota replied to giraffe4's topic in General Students

    It's never too late to change career paths but make sure you figure out what you really want to do. Don't just back out/change your mind because you're getting nervous about how well you'll do. If...

    Tips for nursing success?

    Two years is nothing. I've just gone back to school to do my pre-reqs after being out of school for just over 12 years. Just jump in and be ready to

    Quota posted a topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Are there HESI A2 practice tests out there that are full length? As in with the same number of questions as the actual exam? I only did some basic searches today from work but everything I saw had...

    Full length HESI A2 practice tests?

    Quota replied to Quota's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I've got a lot of time to prepare at this point, about 10 months until the next application cycle. Hopefully being super prepared for the other sections and completing them quickly will give me the...

    How many programs are you applying to?

    Quota replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just two accelerated BSN programs for me. I'm close to the mid point between them. One is 15 minutes one way and the other is about 20 minutes in another direction. One is also close to twice the...

    Getting into nursing school

    Quota replied to masmarcam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really? I'll take your word for it but I don't understand why a school wouldn't accept credits from ANY accredited university. Possibly be picky about which courses count as equivalent classes but...

    That's unfortunate about the instructors at Mason but really that can happen anywhere. Plus I've been out working in the real world for 12 years... have to deal with good and bad teachers/trainers...

    Prospective ABSN student. Thinking about GMU vs. Marymount

    Doing all my pre-reqs online as I'm still working my current lab job full time. Loving the flexibility so far but just started. I'm guessing the class you are talking about isn't offered through...

    Prospective ABSN student. Thinking about GMU vs. Marymount

    Quota replied to Quota's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Too far out for me. I'm about halfway between GMU and Marymount, Shenandoah would be about an hour and a half drive in good conditions. Homeowner, not relocation for school. Furthest out school on...

    Repeating classes for better grades?

    Quota replied to Quota's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess for the schools that only care about your highest grade in the class it would make sense but still can't really sell me on the idea when they count each time you took the class. Sure even the...

    CLEP for Chem or just take one semester of gen Chem?

    Quota replied to Quota's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd have to look into that to be sure but if I remember correctly they accepted the CLEP scores as pass/fail. Don't think GPA was factored but not sure. I'll look into it

    Nope, not a problem in this case. I'd actually never heard of CLEP prior to the information session I attended for the private university that requires a Chem class in the last 5 years. Someone else...
