I am behind you all the way.
There is one thing you must know as you begin your journey.
College is a game.
When I make that statement This is what I mean.
All of the Prerequisites are designed to frustrate you to make you quit school.
And a large majority of the students fall to the wayside.
(YOU MAY BE THINKING THATS CRAP THEY WOULD GO BANKRUPT)
You are replaced the next year by a ton of High school seniors and people coming back to school after they dropped out 10 years ago, so the system works.
This weed out process has a purpose.
Usually lets only the serious individuals into a professional program thus eliminating a high drop out rate from a professional component no matter what the field of study.
If you are beginning your college career I would suggest starting with a 2 year state funded college to insure that your credits will transfer. In Alabama by law all credits must transfer.
This varies from state to state so do your home work.
The reason you want to choose a small 2 year college is for a number of reasons
- usually a lower cost
- smaller classes (the professors tend to care more about you)
- You will feel the weed out factor less at a community college than a large University. They want you to pass.
- In other words it primes you to take on the big University and minimizes the shock which in turn lessens the weed out factor.
The freshman who begin at a large University tend to fall by the way side far more frequently.
I write this Assuming that everyone reading this wants to be an RN so I will write from that prospective.
As you begin your quest through college you need to plot out your road map.
IF YOU START AT A 2YEAR COLLEGE YOU MUST GO BY THE PREREQUISITES FOR THE COLLEGE YOU HOPE TO TRANSFER TO.
So go to that Colleges Professional Program and get a copy of their Prerequisite list and plot your course from there.
As you attend school working on your prerequisites remember many professional components look at grades first.
So keep your GPA Up
Keep the Drinking to a Minimum you are trying to build your brain power not kill brain cells.
Search out your God
how ever you believe
Attend church because it will make you feel better.
I mention this because I am very religious and also to say this.
When you get into a Professional component you will cry more than you have ever cried
you will laugh more than you have ever laughed
you will study more than you have ever studied so remember this.
STUDY AS IF IT WERE ALL UP TO YOU
AND PRAY AS IF IT WERE ALL UP TO GOD
YOU WILL BE MET IN THE MIDDLE
AND HE
WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.
AND PRAY AS IF IT WERE ALL UP TO GOD
YOU WILL BE MET IN THE MIDDLE
AND HE
WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.
With that being said
Pray before you begin to study and ask for help to understand and remember.
And don't forget the thank you
when you pass that test.
Well lets move on.
