I agree with all of the other comments on here encouraging you to retake that A&P course. I bet at one point MOST of us didn't do as well as we wanted to in a class and had to re-evaluate our study habits, our learning styles, our time management, etc. I took chemistry my first semester back to college after I had graduated with an English degree 3 years prior, and it really forced me to look at what I was doing wrong and how I could improve. As much as I hated dropping the class because it felt like defeat, I can honestly say I learned a lot from that experience, and it led me to research the most effective study skills and understand the difference between sciences and the humanities. This led me to do much better in subsequent science classes, and I eventually re-took chemistry and did well. You will probably enjoy more success if you do this first instead of panicking about your next nursing program.

nursing 101 is supposed to be on Mondays and Wednesdays, and classes for the ATB are supposed to be on Tuesdays and thursdays. If you look at the times for nursing 101 from last semester, it should be the same. At least that's what I was told. Hopefully this grant doesn't throw everything off. Speaking of the grant, I have to wonder if it will truly be known in june. The government tends to move at a snail's pace.

In reference to using phones to look things up, I know that our clinical sites strictly prohibit them being used. A friend said that youre not even supposed to bring them inside with you. I will definitely get a pocket drug guide and small calculator in that case!

Hey guys, I was hoping some experienced folks could tell me what they think are some good buys for nursing school? We have to have Cherokee scrubs and white shoes, and my dad bought me a stethoscope already, but I was wondering if anything else is just really handy to have? i.e. watch, clipboard, stuff like that?

Would you be willing to make me an avatar with like, just a ton of cats? Like as many cats as you can fit in one avatar. All of the cats in the world. My current one doesn't have enough cats.

As a second to this, those tests actually have no scientific basis at all. It's a shame that employers still use them to some extent.

I think that nursing 101 is a 7 credit class. Finally got my letter today! So relieved!

Is no one allowed to register for nursing 101 until June?

Oh man, that's frustrating. I hope they get the grant too. I totally thought the grant referred to the summer session though.

I will have a lot of time this summer before I start in the fall, and a few study buddies and I are planning to do a weekly study session to just review everything from A&P one and two. Not that we didn't do well in those classes, but I've heard that they come back around again when it comes to pharmacology.

Heck, I'll do you one better: get thee to a community college for pre-requisites! No reason to stay at a four year college without a nursing program and pay university tuition, even if parents are paying for it. I have a previous bachelor's, but I really love community colleges. I think they're seriously undervalued.

I had 20 points, but I still feel like I'll believe it when I see the actual letter!

I wonder if 13 points was their threshold for this session? A friend of mine said her classmate had 11 points and his status remains unchanged. I wish they posted the number of certain point values they accepted, that way others know where they stand.

I live in Whiteford, so I'm not too far from Cecil County!

Mine also changed to Nursing (RN). A friend said she got an email saying they sent out the accelerated acceptance packets today

Me too. It's not like they're going off of other qualifications besides our numbers. I mean, there's no letters of recommendation or essays to read. You would think they would input all of this into a computer and sort by points. It just doesn't seem like it should take this long. My mail just came and there wasn't anything, so at this point I'm gonna just assume that we won't find out for another solid week. They are moving at a snail's pace.

True. Not sure what seems to be the hold up? I feel like previous semesters found out much sooner.

Hmm, that's a tough one. I guess it depends on where you apply? My community college only looks at grades, TEAS scores, GPA, how many credits you have, and if you have a previous bachelors or masters degree, which I know I've heard many classmates who currently work as techs complain about. I applied to a private school last semester that wanted me to take more classes than I would need where I am currently, so I decided to scrap that school. But, from what I've been told, their GPA requirements were quite lenient. I suppose it might be worth it depending on your financial situation. Might as well contact an admissions advisor and see what they say. If not, maybe you could take those classes again? When I took A&P last summer, a classmate who had been a tech for 10 years was working on retaking all of his sciences for the third time, and had been rejected twice. So maybe it's not a bad idea to retake some classes.

I got an 83.3 on my TEAS. No volunteer or work experience, but previous bachelor's and 4.0 science GPA. I'm not gonna sweat it. My advisor at Harford CC said I should get into their program, so I'm waiting to hear back from them. Shouldn't be too long now!

Hi guys! Just now seeing this thread. I have this strange feeling we're gonna be getting something in the mail tomorrow. I hope this hunch is correct! I applied only for the traditional, not the accelerated.

Just got an email that I was waitlisted. Hopefully everyone gets their decisions soon! I wasn't sure if I would have gone if I got in. I live in northern maryland, and the community college I attend has a Towson university building on its campus, so I can work on my bachelor's and associates at the same time, so MD wasn't my first choice, I'm not bummed or anything.

Okay I'm glad you said that. I'll keep doing what I'm doing, then. I just took a and p and microbiology last semester so the science didn't seem too bad either.

My husband has been taking lexapro for a while now prescribed by his M.D. and he has never been required to do counseling. I've never heard of that being a requirement for anxiety medication.

A friend gave me a study guide and I'm a bit concerned because the questions seem too easy? I realize that sounds arrogant but I know so many people who got very low scores (50s and 60s) and I'm still studying regardless. It just struck me as odd based on what I'm seeing in the study guide.

I'm also 27 and I already have a bachelor's that I couldn't find a job with, which was super frustrating, but I'm enjoying school a lot more now. I don't sweat the small stuff and I don't fear exams anymore.
