Hi Dkdn, do you know if they let us retake a preclinical course? 

Hi Dkdn, do you know if they let us retake a preclinical course? I don't know how I did everything right, the homework, the project, quizzes, but I got a B in English. Maybe I did bad on the final, but how do I make up for it?

If you get a B or higher you can't retake it unfortunately...

Will it help if I do better in English 102?

Also the NEX exam seems to be a new thing. I can only find preps for the old one called NLN PAX

They are pretty much the same. Except that it's more focused on biology than on general sciences

Their website says it could be taken after 30 days of taking it.

Anyone here that is already in nursing how the schedule looks like during the day? Only if you are taking nursing classes only.

 I've seen people say their GPA are like 3.84 or 3.5, but if we are only looking at the 4 preclinical courses, how is that possible? Does the overall GPA matter too?

I am taking it in the Spring, but I think if you did really well in ap 1 and 2, like getting As, they will  let you take micro in the Summer. But anyway, you can always apply again next year
