   Congrats to all of you that got in! I have a question for all of you that have applied before...I've applied in the past, took and passed the entrance exam, etc., but still need to take math 90 to meet the new requirement. That's my question, actu...

2. Anyone going to Modesto Junior College?

   dvas00 replied to dvas00's topic in California

   EROSE22, I had most of my prereqs done, too. I had done chemistry, biology, anatomy and a lot of other college units done 10 or so years ago. All I had to do at MJC was micro and physiology. The only warning I've heard about trying to take too much...

   Thank you so much JMoney!!! It really helps those of us getting started to learn a little about what we're getting into :) All my prereqs are done and my app is in for spring semester. A lady that was in my physiology class is an LVN in OB at Emm...

7. Anyone going to Modesto Junior College?

   dvas00 replied to dvas00's topic in California

   Hi there, F4mom. My question was from a long time ago -- I had some life circumstances that kept me away from school for a couple of semesters -- but I'm done with my prereqs, passed the TEAS test, so my application is in for Spring semester. MJC do...

8. **Long Sigh**

   dvas00 replied to EthnicBeauty's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Some schools don't allow you to take classes over in which you recieve a C (which I just don't understand!!). I hope yours does. Best of luck to you!

9. How long are science classes valid?

   dvas00 replied to *future_RN*'s topic in Pre-Nursing

   At my school, it doesn't matter how long ago you took the courses. Big sigh of relief from me, since I took a few of my science classes almost 10 years ago!

10. Does anyone do Medical Transcription?

    dvas00 replied to Lovely_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've been an MT for nearly 10 years. I work at home for a large clinic and in the past worked at home for a hospital. My husband also does transcription and he took the M-TEC course -- I do feel they prepare you well to work. It' is very difficult ...

11. Nursing and keeping fit??

    dvas00 replied to magichands's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello there! Well, I don't know how people do it with a nursing job, but as a busy pre-nursing student/full time worker I run or do other workouts whenever I can fit it in. It's a priority to me, so I do plan ahead, but have a plan B (and C and D!) ...

12. I want to take Micro and Physiology..

    dvas00 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Too much? I work as a medical transcriptionist, so I'm really good at the terminology. I purchased a physiology and micro book and have been studying a lot. If I take classes from 4 to 8:30 Mon - Thurs (lab included), I can take both, but I work f...

    dvas00 replied to E-man's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took some of my prereqs about 10 years ago and the nursing program counselor at the school I'm going to (Modesto Junior College) said they were still good. (Whew!) Good luck to you.

14. what if you have to work while in nursing school?

    dvas00 replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm so glad someone posted this question! I work full time from home as a medical transcriptionist. I'm hoping I can go part-time or quit when I finally get into NS, but if I can't do that, it's good to know that it is possible (though I understand...

15. New about to be Student with Questions

    dvas00 replied to myonlyboyluke's topic in General Students

    Hi Lee Ann, Don't worry about tests -- I think if your desire is strong to be a nurse, you'll overcome those fears in order to reach your goal. I'm not in NS yet. I have to take Microbiology and Physiology before I can apply. I'd love to talk to som...
