What prerequisites are you guys taking for spring 2014? How many prerequisites do you have until you move to the general nursing forum? What are y'all's GPA? Mines is currently a 3.7. The classes I'm enrolled in for spring 2014 are:
1) general psychology
2) English II
3) nutrition
4) computer applications.
I have 5 more classes to take before I'm able to start my actual nursing courses.
Hey future RNs! I finished my last prerequisites this fall with a 4.0.
The classes I'm taking in spring all have separate dates needed to be completed so I'm getting them all out of the way then.
Humanities
English 2
Human developmental psych
Taking my entrance exam March '14 for acceptance in Aug '14. Good luck and God bless you all!
How was and A&P I? Any tips? I plan on taking my sciences next summer.
A&P 1 went really well, but it was time consuming with both the lecture/lab. I would suggest finding a way to study that works for you and sticking with it. I would read the chapters before class, then make outlines using the notes I took in class and the chapter objectives our teacher gave us. I also made charts/drew pictures of concepts I had difficulty understanding, like endrochondral/intramembranous ossification. Watching YouTube videos helped me, and I also used the website that came with my textbook. We had a lab quiz every week, and a take-home lecture quiz every week (which had tough, critical thinking types of questions), two lab exams, three lecture exams, and a final exam that covered everything we learned the entire semester. I ended up getting 107% in the class. Are you taking A&P 1 during a condensed summer semester?
AP I is definitely time consuming. Make sure you do your research and have a great professor to help you through the course. It's a lot of material in a short amount of time. Lots of memorization with the joints, bones, muscles etc. I had a professor that should not even be teaching in my opinion, he failed almost my entire class. Thank god I have great study habits and passed lecture with a b and lab with an a! Taking APII this semester with sociology and psychology. Then I transfer to my nursing school in July which I've already been accepted to! It's all coming together! Study hard and smart and you guys can do it!

I'm taking my last three pre-reqs: Microbiology, Statistics and Ethics. Hoping to start the program next fall! I will turn in my application this week and should hear back by February sometime. I was able to maintain my 4.0 again this last semester.
