Info about Calhoun Comm College Fall 2009

I'm taking US History, Human Growth & Development, Microbio & Intro to Computers (I needed a filler class) all this summer. I'm right there with you Momof3, it's been 7 years since I was last in college. But I'm excited about it, I need something to keep me focused.

A&P isn't hard, it's just a lot to learn, esp in a Summer semester. I took it in high school, so I had a pretty decent background before I took it at Wallace. Math112 was easy for me, i placed into it & made an A, but that too was coming straight out of high school. My hubby is struggling with his, but he's been out of school WAY longer.

so did you use college bio scores to count towards the points?

Haha after December I will be burned out. I'm already tired of school, but I'm anxious to start a career and family so I'm starting college on my last day of high school!! I am also taking a computer class this summer (cis146) so I would have enough hours for the scholarship. I only wanted to do two classes right out of high school but I'm hoping it's better this way.

I'm okay in math... I loved trig. I'm in calculus right now and I'm strugglin to keep a low B but precalculus algebra should be better... But since it is on a college level.. I'm just so worried about all of this.

But y'all need to let me know when you get a letter!!!

I took chem111/112 last semester through dual enrollment. I enjoyed it. But the labs were long! We would go right after school and stay sometimes til 8:30 or later. Of couse we were group of high school kids who goofed around some so we probably could have gotten finished earlier some days ha!

Aw! I'm sure you'll do fine! Do you know what chemistry class it is? The thing I hated about doing calhoun chemistry through high school was it was so fast paced! I had it last semester. Aug-Dec for an hour and a half M-F and the first 9 weeks was CHM111 the next 9weeks was CHM112. So if I just had one a semester I could have had time to learn it. I've forgotten some of it!!

I was trying to start a family until this unemployment crap threw a wrench in things. I figured it was the door opening for me to go back to school & even though I'm stressed, I feel blessed to have this chance. I guess being a "grown-up" for a while, I realize how important college is and how not to take this opportunity that I have for granted.

I only get to count the 2 A&P classes towards my points since I'm taking Micro this summer. That's what bums me out. If I don't get in, the only thing that's holding me back is the points from that class.

I know how incredibly stressful Nursing is going to be on us. X-ray school was no cake-walk & they did their best to make us quit if we weren't up to par. But we WANT to be there are as opposed to some people who are just picking a major thinking they will slide by.

I may call the Nursing Dept next week & ask them when letters usually go out just to see what they say.

I'm sorry about the unemployment & not being about to count micro points! I'm sure there's still hope keep smiling!

My family keeps telling me how hard nursing school will be, but they totally support it. My friends tell me I'm too young and shouldn't have everything figured out yet and I need to take the summer off to have fun. I'm SICK of hearing that!! I know what I want out of life.

I don't doubt that it will be very stressful and involve TONS of nights at home studying, but being a nurse is what I've always wanted to be. Sure, I'm sick of school right now (especially all the pettiness, drama, & immature people) but I'll actually WANT to be there taking these college classes.
