I am extremely happy that it's over. You have no idea lol. The whole reason why I took A&P II in the summer was because I planned on starting nursing school this October, but when I went to my...
Hello, everyone. Since I will be starting the nursing program in February next year, I am looking for employment. There is a possibility of me working full time from now until I start the program, but...
That's probably what I'm going to do. I'll try it out first and see what happens. The school that I'll be attending goes by a block schedule. So technically it's taking one class at a time, but some...
Hello everyone. I just got accepted into the ABSN program. I'm a little bit skeptical about this nursing program because the majority of it is online. The online component is mostly comprised of...
I'm in my mid 20's and I don't pay for rent or any of the basic neccesities like that and I have a good financial support group. There's just a lot of pressure for me to get done with school soon so I...
I hate micro with a passion too! Are you seriously planning on taking that many classes in one semester? That is major overload. If you are able to get all A's then go for it. You said that you work...
You should be very thankful that your GPA didn't slip lower than a 2.9. Is that your prerequisite GPA or your overall GPA? All schools look into both GPA to get accepted. Either way, you got time to...
60k is very expensive in my opinion as well, considering that I am still in debt from my last degree. This is the only school where I can get done the fastest. Applying and getting accepted into other...
I already have a BA as well, and I am going straight for the ABSN program. You already have your MA, which is fantastic! Employers will mostly look at your MA as a positive life experience, but the...
No one is trying to come off as offensive or rude. We're all speaking the truth based on general knowledge. That's great that they are evaluating your application, but the only reason why I can see...
That seems like a manageable course load. As far as studying for A&P is concerned, it's best to take notes in class and to focus mostly on what the prof. says. I never once opened by A&P...
I agree with what she said. It does depend on the school. When I applied, my school went by a point system so the more science prerequsites you took, the more points you earned. If you're still taking...
There's no rule stating that you shouldn't date while in nursing school. Dating might take time away from studying, but you shouldn't be closed minded on the matter. I live with my boyfriend and I'm...
Jen: I am not exactly sure what the retention rate is. Emmjayy: 90% is crazy, but I guess how the school does it is that you take the exam once by yourself and then you are able to retake that exam...
I would invest in a laptop, but write all the notes by hand. if the prof. is speaking too fast, then type everything on the laptop and write down all your notes after class. It is better to write...
I agree with most of these commenters. Science/prerequisite GPA is equally important as your overall GPA. Although there are some nursing programs that require a 2.75 GPA does not mean that your goal...
I took 17 credits fall and spring semester and I thought it was a lot of work. In one semester I think I wrote 11 essays in which 2 of those essays were Japanese. I also had quizzes/exams every week...
I already got accepted into nursing school at Roseman for the Feb. '18 cohort. I am looking at UNLV as well. The only classes I need to take is MATH120 and the Nevada Constitution. I don't know where...
That is way too old to pursue a degree in nursing. You're almost at the age of retirement and changing to a very demanding and high paced career would just be too much. By the time you get done with...
It's slightly difficult for me to get an unbiased opinion about the school because I've mostly talked with the faculty and prospective students. I do know that we have clinical rotations around the...
If you don't mind me asking, what was your GPA when you applied at Hopkins and how was the program? And what was the average score to aim for on the teas? I already got accepted into a nursing school,...
Nursing schools are very competitive in SoCal. Since you are already at a 3.5 GPA and still need to complete more prerequisites, I would try to get all A's and you should be good. Also, most nursing...
I applied to Denver School of Nursing and I got accepted into the program. It was easy for me because I already have a bachelor degree. I declined their acceptance because the reviews were awful and I...
Here's how I would take these classes in this order: Fall A&P I Nutrition Intro to chem Spring A&P II Micro stats Summer Organic chem I have not taken organic chem, but the rest of the...
