Yes my GPA was for all my prereq courses, it was 2.75...I did have my highest grades in my Sciences; Micro and A&P 1&2 (2 A's and 1 B). I finished all my prereq's before starting Nursing school except English Comp 1. I did that one between 1st and 2nd year in the Summer semester. I was dropped last Fall for failing to pass the math test and I have been readmitted for this Fall to finish my Senior year, thank goodness!:up:

I am in ap2 right now and taking micro this summer too :) Just try to make as many A's as you can, they award more points for those (2 i think) and 1 for B's for your science and math classes.

First of all, Congrats on being accepted! Second, get everything done well before summer is over, physical, scrubs purchased, tb test, vaccines if you need them, drug screen, shoes, stethoscope, etc. There is a lot to do and you have time, but dont wait til the last minute. Enjoy your sleep and your life now! Explain to friends and family that you are about to start an extremely difficult program and your time with them will be limited. If you have kids, go ahead and get them on a schedule, plan meals, freeze meals, etc. The key to nursing school is being organized and prepared. I dont think there is anything that I would have brushed up on and it would have helped some people say anatomy but they arent teaching you that they will teach you what you need to know. I cant remember if they give you summer reading to help you, I dont think they do but if so go ahead and start. Get to know your classmates, study in groups (not to big) Ask your teachers for help, that is what they are there for! I have had knox, harriman, and oak ridge teachers and they are ALL wonderful and willing to help. Pay attention in lab and clinical and ask questions, start looking at how to write a careplan! That is important. Go to class! So many people thought they could just ease by and they didnt make it, the math tests are pass/fail but the teachers do a great job of teaching it, pay attention and ask questions
