my whole tiktok fyp is just fear mongering i have yet to take either one but i'm gonna have to eventually (planning on getting the first one done next semester) surely memorizing some bones cannot being this fucking scary i'm so tired of everybody in this god forsaken major trying to make u wanna kys before u even start anything
For background, I’m in my second year of prerequisites after transferring from studying environmental law for three years at a university. I was able to bypass almost a year because of transfer credits. Pivoting from environmental studies to nursing has been interesting. Environmental students are much different than pre-nursing from what I’ve been experiencing.
My school just wrapped up week three of classes. I’m currently taking chemistry 121. I’ve always been a good student, stayed after class to talk to professors, and have good relationships with them. I’ve been left completely shocked and jaw dropped by the way some of my classmates have behaved towards my professor and how they act in class or have a lack of care for their school work.
Week one we were instructed to pick up a packet and do the problems and watch a video, before coming to class. Several students did not do it, and all but one had no reason why. Week two we had a quiz in class, and per every week now, we must come to class prepared with our packet and having watched the video. My professor comes to each of us every class and looks at our packet. People still aren’t doing it or watching the videos, and I know this because my professor can see how much of and when people watch them. She has asked several students why they aren’t doing this. Their answers are always “I’m not sure or didn’t have time.”
Last week we were told several times, with multiple announcements, to bring our laptops or rent one from the school before coming to class. You can probably guess it, people did not show up with them. My professor was dumbfounded. She asked why they didn’t have them and the answers were “I didn’t think about it” or “I’m not sure.” Luckily she was able to work something out and these students had access to a computer. However, one girl couldn’t figure out how to get into our school portal/canvas. Ya’ll….we have to log into this stuff all the time as students because of security reasons. This girl was getting extremely frustrated with our professor and was being rude. My professor finally got annoyed and said “I don’t know how to help you, I’m not the one who knows your password and I’m not sure how you don’t know it or have it written down anywhere.” She asked my classmate how she was possibly able to get into canvas to do her homework if she “didn’t know her password.” While class was wrapping up, this same girl started actively bashing our professor for how she reached the class and that she wasn’t fair and her teaching style was shit. I was taken back because our professor is literally in class with us.
For our lab, same as class, we are instructed to come to class having done a pre-lab quiz and go over the lab papers highlighting specific things. Take a wild guess, people aren’t doing either. My professor said from day one and before, that she would ask students to leave if they did not have these things done. I think because of how many people aren’t doing them, she’s been lenient and allowing them to stay. Last week a girl didn’t show up with even the pre-lab quiz done, and my professor said she needed to stay after class and do it. The girl argued with her and said she had other things to do and she would do it at home. My professor was very stern and said that wasn’t possible and that she needed to do it that day with her. She girl kept arguing until my professor made her point clear. Several other girls have argued with my professor as to why they haven’t done the work. My professor ended up sending out an email at the beginning of this week letting us know she will start actively dismissing people from class for this.
I’m honestly just curious to see if this is the norm now. Most of us in this class are going for nursing or radiology programs. The school we’re at is the most competitive cc nursing program in my entire state. I’m just confused as to how so many of my classmates don’t care or think it’s not a big deal to just not do the work or possibly get a bad grade.
Hey friends! So I’ve been accepted into the program I wanted and I’m sooo excited and thankful!! I was really scared that I wasn’t going to get in so I was mentally ready and registered to retake A&P1 and Intro to Psychology (both have C’s, I was young and didn’t care) this fall as 8 week courses that start on Oct. 19, which I know I can do now and pass with a higher grade.
Do you think I should still retake them even though I’ve been accepted into my program and will begin nursing school Spring 2027?? I’m pretty sure it would raise my GPA since I’m going to the CC nursing school I did all my pre reqs at and FAFSA fully covers it which is why I’m thinking about doing it but is it even worth it now that I’m already accepted?
I have an amazing opportunity as I was granted admission into both Ventura and Moorepark nursing programs in California and don’t know which one would be the best. If it does make a difference I live closer to Ventura but don’t mind commute to moorpark. I will be working as well so I don’t know which program is most flexible in terms of workload. Thank you!
I'm in southern California, I'm finding out people don't even get into ABSN programs, nor ADN programs with the high grades that they have, including GPA.
I'll be honest, I have 2 F's (one from intermed alg and one from sociology 1), repeated sociology 1 and received a C. Otherwise just a lot of W's... overall GPA as it stands right now is about 2.8! This is a cumulative from 3 different community colleges. I only have one GE to take which is ethnic studies which I'm taking right now.
Recently went back to school, I'm at Crafton Hills, and now, I'm currently taking STATS along with a missing Gen Ed (ethnic studies), and so far I have A's. I also received an A in General Psych (2016).
In the Spring, I'll be taking a CNA class (weekends mostly), and A&P 1. Then I have summer and fall to complete the rest of my science pre-reqs, granted that I do very well on all of these anticipated classes!
So let's assume I get straight A's for all my upcoming science courses, that put's me at:
pre-req GPA: 4.0
overall/cum GPA: 3.12
And, of course I have to get a high score on the TEAS.
PLAN: get my CNA cert, find a job as an ER tech, continue taking pre-reqs, apply to nearby nursing school programs (mostly ADN). Also, I'm currently volunteering in the ED at a local hospital too.
I guess I'm looking to far into it, but I like to plan things. What's the worst case scenario? LVN school if I don't get in? or should I do the ADN program at ACC? I'm just a realist, and I like to look at the bigger picture for the foreseeable future. Be nice! any thoughts?
Accepted to the adn program here in sf :) extremely excited and honestly surprised. During the application phase I retook my teas once (receiving a 89% second attempt) and unfortunately one C in microbiology. Yes, you can still be accepted into the program with a C on your science transcripts!! Received my acceptance call in July!
If anyone has suggestions for jobs while in nursing school?? I would appreciate the feedback!! Btw, If anyone will be joining CCSF ADN program (or current student) I would love to connect! Good luck to everyone!
Ok so i’m applying to a very competitive nursing program in January and the average science gpa is a 3.8 and 3.7 overall. I have a 4.0 gpa in all my other prereqs with an A in A&P I. For whatever reason, i’m really struggling in A&P II. I currently have a 73 in the class and need at least a B. There’s two more months in the class with 3 more exams. Honestly I just feel like I need someone that’s had this experience to tell me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel😩
looking to take 2 at a time but idk what would be the best to pair tg, options are:
- biology
- basic a&p 1
- basic microbiology
- gen organic and biological chem (intro)
keep in mind not everybody has all their marbles and i sure asf don't so don't give me any of that fear mongering bs under here because after the day i just had it might put me over the edge thank u
Okay so what were your stats to get into these schools?
I know each school has a range and it varies but I’m looking to see what students actually had that were accepted & whether you are liking the program or hated it, merely what was your experience and recommendations? Worth the cost?
UTHSCSA
TLU (NB)
UIW
ST MARYS
ALAMO (Concurrent program ADN+BSN)
I got accepted into a CA CC for my ADN starting Spring 2027! I was so nervous leading up to this and I wasn’t expecting to hear back so soon. I know how competitive it is so I really thought my chances were low. I had no healthcare experience but I have a bachelors degree in an unrelated field and got a 93.3 on my TEAS. I did well in all my prerequisites (except chemistry). I’m so excited to start this journey!
I was just wondering if anyone else also is in a similar boat. I have a passion for helping others, healing, connection, biology, medicine… healthcare is definitely for me. And as of now my goal is to be a nurse practitioner eventually. I’m applying to nursing schools this fall for next fall and the pathway of medical school weighs on me and has for quite some time. I know some RNs make this pivot, so I still have time to decide in the next 2-3 years. I’m 21F and not getting any younger and don’t want to live my life in regret. Thoughts?
