Currently, I am in my second year of taking Pre-Nursing classes. Here's my advice, everything is about balance. Take half hard classes and half easy classes every semester. Example: My first year I took biology, Human Growth and Developement, Human Nutrtion. Total of 11 credits. Science I've always struggled with. Not because its hard, but because its very time consuming. I've passed science classes with B's, yet I'm in college so now I have strive for a A's. When you're taking a class that is more time valuable mix it in with something you know you won't have to study for as hard. It helps with stress and helps balance your first year off. Also if you don't do as good as you thought your GPA won't go down dragstically. Here's what I'd do... FALL: intro bio + gen psychology WINTER: intro to chem + lifespan psyc SPRING: into to org/bio chem + a&p 1 FALL: a&p 2 + nutrition 101 WINTER: micro Yet this is all my opinion.

First time going to school. No kids, not married, but have a boyfriend who is really supportive. I am 19 took a year off to travel. ✓BIO 111 General College Biology with Lab ✓BIO 201 Anatomy & Physiology I with Lab ✓BIO 202 Anatomy & Physiology II with Lab THESE ARE FOR ASSOCIATES ✓BIO 204 Microbiology ✓PSY 235 Human Growth & Development ✓Social or behavioral science elective ✓ENG 122 English composition II ✓MAT 135 Introduction to Statistics (3) THESE ARE FOR BACHELORS ✓BIO 216 Pathophysiology Advised electives Nursing Science - Chemistry, Communication, Business, Economics or finance elective ✓History Elective THIS IS MY ENTIRE SCHEDULE Spring 2017 NUA 101- Nurse Aide Health Care Skills (4) NUA 170- Nurse Aide Clinical Experience (1) GETTING CNA ADDS POINTS INTO NURSING PROGRAM NUA 901- Certified Exam Prep (0) ENG 122- English Composition 2 (3) BIO 111- General Biology with lab (5) TOTAL CREDITS= 13 Summer 2017 1.

Mine is about if I have to add bachelors perquisites might as well get that. Also how old were you guys when you finished your degrees?

So I am going to my local community college and I first have to finish my general courses until I start my perquisites. I am trying to plan out my entire year(s) schedule to get into the nursing program. Then I noticed that I would be credits short (to live on campus you have to have 12 credits) I decided to mix in my college's bachelors nursing program prerequisite. That's when I came to realize why am I getting my associates? When in order to live in the dorms I am adding bachelors prerequisite? Should I just go ahead transfer to a University and get my bachelors?

JESUS CHRIST! You're my twin!!! I also graduated in 2015. I have low GPA and ACT score was one point away from being accepted to a university. So I'm doing community college. What I did was first looked into my area. Is there a CC near me? If so what do they offer. I lived with my parents and I was feeling antisocial, so I was looking for a CC that had housing. The one in my valley has one. I looked onto their website and easy to navigate. I hated looking at other colleges and their Nursing perquisite requirements weren't even neatly displayed. Got confused and I emailed a lot of facility to just tell me what I needed!!! Also think about your options 1. stay at a CC 2. Transfer. If I was going to transfer what requirements do I need? where would I transfer. I even looked out of state CC if they were cheaper or offered more I would go there... you don't have to stay in your home state. After debating I saw living 30 miles away, CC offer dorms, #12 happiest place to live in America, and the lowest tuition cost for a community college. I knew this was it.

It depends do you have good memory? If so I'd say take it your first semester and if not pair it with basic psychology, which is what I'm doing. You don't want to have any chance messing up your GPA. I always take a "relaxing" class I know I would get an A on. Helps balances me and my GPA. This is what I'm doing BIO 202, PSY 233, History 121 (Relaxing class), and ENG 122. Basically put one of your weakness and pair it with one of your strongest. I'm bad in science, PSY 233 and History 121 deals with people I'll be okay, english is my strongest subject. Later on when I look over my study guide I could see,"Study more in BIO 202 look over rest of my classes."

1. LPN is a good alternative and you'll have experience in the field once you apply. My college adds points to your acceptance if you have more experience in the field 2. I'd say do the 12 month one. The reason the 30K one is more expensive is the flexibility/ plus longer. Yes, it'll suck but look what you'll gain. Do you want that one year of experience or one extra year before you can start? It'll be cheaper to. Plus SCHOLARSHIPS!!! 3. Also does the program start in the Spring or fall? Because if you're planning on applying in the fall why don't you take that extra class, so you could apply to the bachelors ... or maybe I read that wrong lol
