Finals are upon us!

Hi everyone!

Finals are quickly approaching! It's a scary thought that this semester is almost over...it has truly flown by! In an effort to procrastinate from studying, I thought I'd check the blog and noticed that a few of you had questions.

I tried answering "Guest's" question in the ShoutBox but realized there's a length limit. So to answer more fully, YES, you can definitely apply to the BSN program out of high school! This is what I did and it is much easier than trying to transfer into the nursing school later on. So if you want to be a nurse as a senior in high school, go for it! I've never regretted my decision!

Doreen, I took both AP Biology and AP Chemistry in high school. I have not taken Pharmacology or Pathophysiology yet, but in the first two years of the program, I can say that I have not used most of what I learned in AP Chem. Of course, I can only speak for myself, and I'm sure Chemistry will be useful during Pharmacology. Anatomy & Physiology and Human Biology are classes that are included in our curriculum, so AP Bio could definitely help with that. Overall, take what classes you're interested in for a good chance at doing well! Course rigor (a college admissions buzz word!) is looked at in every college application, so take which classes you want to take and think you can succeed in! From my experience, that's the best advice I can give you!

Back to studying for now! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
