A few things. Med isn't bad at all. If you can do basic algebra, you're good. Practice, practice, practice. Not that you asked me, but here some unsolicited advice. Do not take your general education courses at west coast. Spend the time doing those at your local community college. I feel the quality of education and degree of difficulty is greater and is a good indicator of how successful you'll be at wcu. Irs better to learn at the community college level of your not cut out for it for whatever reason there than at WCU. If you REALLY want to know how you'll do, take an 8 week anatomy class during summer. It's pretty much the same calendar format as west coast. WCU is a MASSIVE commitment. If you transfer all your GE's in you'll have loans for very close to 100k by the time you finish. Tread very carefully. It kills me when I think about some of the friends that I've made didn't make it because sometimes, life just happens.
@monicaschon66473 жыл бұрын
The math is not tough at all it’s basic algebra. They have med math workshops you can attend and it helps tremendously! Keep in mind you must get at least 90% or higher on the med math exam each term in order to pass the course. As the person above me said, WCU is a HUGE commitment and no time to mess around. As any nursing school, you have to study and work hard for your grade. I understand how you’re feeling because prior to starting nursing school, I too was super scared of failing and debts and I had so many questions. If you need any help or info about the school and admission process you can ask me(: Im not going to lie and say it’s easy because it’s not! Then again no nursing school program is easy. It’s a tough program because it’s accelerated HOWEVER it is completely DOABLE!(: I’m not the brightest kid in the block and I’m doing extremely well. If I can do it, trust me so can you!

Maybe say "my loan went through" rather than saying "[I] got accepted into nursing school." Getting into a CC or CSU is a big accomplishment. Lots of young moms sacrificed time with their kids to get good grades and graduate from CCs with ADNs. Get good grades people so you can attend any school you want rather than playing mind gymnastics as to why you're shelling out 140k lol
