Taking this semester off...What do I do?

[Soon2BAMALENurse]

Hello friends. Again I'm back on with a couple of questions. I am taking this semester off to concentrate on some things I wish to get together before starting classes again in the fall. During this time I wish to apply in a new school with a LPN or Nursing program, hopeing they would would not only except me, but clear all grades that was bringing my gpa down even further e.g., IP, U's, D's, F's or WF's. I have to take A&PII Lecture over since I failed it with a D...I passed A&PII Lab. I also have both MicroBiology Lecture & Lab to complete all classes for the Associates program.

My questions to you guys are:

Is it true or false, that the next school I transfer to will delete all "bad grades" and transfer the passing grades (C and above)?

I have a couple of schools in mind. Do I just go to the school and ask to speak to a nursing advisor or just put aside $'s and apply to each school with a LPN or Nursing program?

Should I study for the TEAS or LPN exam and take the test while I'm taking the next seven months off?

Thanks for the reply, it really helps!

They won't necessarily "delete" your grades, but they usually don't accept/transfer any grade below a 'C'. However, when you apply to the nursing programs, they will definitely include those past grades (usually the highest score). So, if you did get lower than a 'C' then you should retake the course.(In actuality if you didn't get an 'A' or 'B' in your science courses, then you should retake them and try to achieve that.) I went through a rough patch academically during my freshman year. I didn't do so well in my math courses, but I took the courses again and was accepted into the nursing program (this past fall). If you're dedicated, you can do it! Study for the TEAS exam, but I wouldn't take it until you're ready to apply. Although, I know that you will do very well. It wasn't too

difficult, especially when comparing it to actual nursing school. Before you do all of that, definitely talk to an advisor. Good luck!
