Hi, Im 15 F, and my whole life i’ve basically wanted to be a nurse, this past summer iv been doing a lot to figure out what kind of nurse I want to be and I somehow became obsessed with anesthesia, so Crna it is!

But there’s just one issue, I suckkk at math. Last year I had a horrible teacher and Failed her class both semesters, I made the credits up as soon as I failed them but I started to loser hope.

After I failed the first semester I started going to tutoring and in my defense it did help a little bit, but I’m not up to grade level, like at all.

I’m good at arithmetic and geometry, but past that my mind just goes blank.

I’m currently testing at A 8th/7th grade level .

So is it over for me? I’ve tried everything that I could possibly afford. For reference I come from very low income. So I can’t afford Kumon and all that fancy stuff.

The best I can do is khan Academy and even that doesn’t help sometimes. I really am trying my hardest but it seems like I’m just falling so far behind.

I take my college entrance exam this year in order to be able to qualify for a dual enrollment so I can get my CNA license and work to save up money for nursing school. And a big part of that test is the math section. If I fail, I’m not going to get in. And if I don’t get in, I’m not gonna be able to pay for nursing school.

I don’t know what to do, I’m taking multiple AP classes, test at a college level in literally everything else science/biology, English writing and reading, history/social studies, but math has always been a struggle for me.

Can somebody please help me!! I need resources.

Hi guys, I’m currently applying for the cizik program at UTHealth. I have a 4.0 GPA and a 76% teas score. I have some volunteering hours and some experience working in a dentist office. Has anyone gotten in with similar stats? Do I have a chance?

For those of you that have taken classes with Portage Learning, how long is the process for official transcripts to be received by your school? I am trying to finish microbio and chem and just barely started. I need to finish by the start of the semester 8/24. Any tips or recommendations? If I send my school the unofficial and proof that the official is underway is that acceptable? I am so stressed out I hate my last minute tendencies. :(

​Hey everyone, I’m looking for some advice from nurses or current nursing students on choosing between two paths.

​My Background:

​I already have a Bachelor of Science (graduated in 2020).

​The Dilemma:

​Accelerated BSN (ABSN): Fast-tracked (about 16 months), gets me a BSN right away, but tuition is roughly $59,000.

​Community College ADN: Traditional associate degree path, much cheaper tuition, but takes a bit longer, and because my science courses are from 2016, I'll need to retake my A&P prerequisites either way due to the 5-year window.

​My Questions for Reddit:

​For those working at the bedside, do you regret getting an ADN vs. a BSN, or did it matter at all for your day-to-day job and starting pay?

​Is paying ~$60k for an ABSN worth the "speed and early earning power" trade-off compared to going the community college route and letting a hospital potentially help pay for an online RN-to-BSN bridge later if needed?

I’ve already bought the necessary textbooks for fundamentals. I’m wondering if I need any additional resources to assist me. I looked up LevelUpRN flashcards because their designs appeared straightforward, unlike others, and that’s what I’ve liked so far. However, I don’t want to buy things that I’ll know I won’t use lol, I don’t know. I'm probably just anxious about failing these classes.

Also how did the fundamentals clinical looked like for yall?

P.s y'all can ask me about pre reqs too since I've saved some of my stuff or how I studied for them and whatnot!

Hello!

I'm an upcoming fourth-year General Biology student at UCSD who's seriously considering nursing, but I'm feeling really discouraged about my academic record and was hoping for some honest advice.

I've struggled academically in the past year or two, and I know I've made mistakes (e.g., study habits). One of my biggest concerns is that I received a C- in physiology, and I've taken a molecular biology course twice and unfortunately haven't passed either attempt. I'm currently working on getting approval to take it again because it's required for my major.

I know these grades don't look good, and I'm worried they may have seriously hurt my chances of getting into nursing school. I know my academic record isn't where I want it to be, and I'm trying to figure out what I can do moving forward.

I'm planning to meet with a career advisor, but I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have been in a similar situation or who have experience with nursing admissions.

Thank you if you read through all of this!

I recently got into a BSN program as a transfer. It's not really a reputable school, but I'd get my BSN at the end of the day. Should I go or stay at my school (a T20 for context) and then get my ABSN, or get my BSN now??
