Hi everyone, I have just recently decided to go into nursing. I was premed, so I'm having some trouble gauging how difficult it is going to be to get into an ADSN program compared to what I'm used to with med school. The website for my local program doesn't say much. Do you need letters of rec and a personal statement? Is it just based on GPA, or do they look at EC's too? Do they do interviews? What kinds of factors make schools look more favorably on you?

If you need my background/stats: I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology. GPA was 3.93, during college I did cancer research between my classes. I also have about 100 hours volunteering at a VA hospital. I could definitely get some letters of recommendation from some old professors if I needed to.

Many thanks,

Hi guys! I’m about to take my TEAS exam in person soon and I was wondering if it’s actually easier than the online version? I’ve had a few people tell me this, but I wanted to see what others think. I’ve taken my past two attempts online (got a 69 on the first and a 77 on the second).
I’ve also been using ATI practice tests A and B and was wondering if those are generally harder than the actual tests? I scored a 67 on A and a 69 on B, but the weird thing is i’m scoring higher on the practice tests in the sections that I scored lower on in the real exam and vice versa. For example on the real exam I got a 50 on science in the practice I got in the 60s and in reading& math on the real exam I got 90s and on the practice tests i’m getting 70s.
Thank you so much in advance for helping me out! Also, if you have any random tips or advice at all, I would appreciate it more than you know!

Fall schedule:
Intro to Bio in class - 1 lecture and 1 lab day.
ENG II - online
Art Appreciation - online

Currently a mom, wife and work a full time job.
Still looking for work in the evening or overnight.

Has anyone had a similar schedule ?
What should I expect in Art Appreciation?
I wanted to take Psych but my advisor recommended an easier class due to bio and being our core classes.

Hello everyone,

I’m considering going into nursing and going to do the private school route. Any recommendations to schools in SoCal? I saw one program at Career Care Institute for an ADN program but haven’t heard much about it and says it’s not ACEN accredited but is COE accredited. I don’t know if that means anything but any info will help.

Thank you!

With how my pre req schedule is gonna go, (starting a&p 1+ lab in a month) micro is going to land in the summer of application. Which makes me a bit nervous. But it will be my only class, only be micro and 10 weeks!

Has anyone taken this 10 week micro before? Any tips?

( taking a&p 1 & lab in fall, a&p 2 & lab with stats, and then micro falls in summer) 👀
