   julwh replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am in week 3 of my class and love it! I have an A so far and my instructor is great! I am so relieved - it is a LOT of work but the class is interesting so I don't mind.

2. Microbiology - Summer 09

   julwh replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am studying about an hour a day for now - my instructor bases her tests on her powerpoint presentations and anything she covers in class so I am excited about that. For lab we are using Chess Case Studies and our quizzes will be based on specific c...

   julwh replied to kimbo11's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am also 45 with a bachelor's degree and turning to nursing. You are definitely not too old. When I got to my first microbiology class this morning, I thought I would be so old . . . turns out there were only a couple people under 30 in the class! G...

   Today was my first day of micro! We are using Totora's 10th edition plus lab. My teacher seems great but she did stress that the class is extremely hard in the summer due to being doubled up! yikes!

   I'll be interested also to see any replies. I am a 3x hodgkin's lymphoma survivor and want to go into oncology also for the same reasons as you (family history, own diagnosis, etc). Good luck!

   julwh replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida

   I have been to the school before years ago but it would definitely be nice to see the nursing labs. I have toured both Remington in Lake Mary and Chamberlain in Jacksonville, I was blown away by their state of the art simulated dummies! Jacksonville...

   I just tried to download the file from rapidshare and it is no longer on there. It comes up as an entry but when you click download, it says it doesn't exist anymore. :throcomp:

10. Anyone from Daytona Beach Community College

    julwh replied to MvbRn's topic in Florida

    Thanks Paco386. I saw you in the UF accelerated thread - I have a BS already and am definitely going to apply to several accelerated programs but just in case I want to apply to DSC (and FCCJ and SJRCC) as fallbacks.

    I haven't even started cramming for the GRE - looks like I better start!

12. Anyone from Daytona Beach Community College

    julwh replied to MvbRn's topic in Florida

    So DSC doesn't require nutrition or human growth/development as pre-reqs or part of the program? Just wondering because I most of the colleges in Jacksonville require them but if I can apply at DSC without them, I might consider it. The more schools ...

    julwh replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida

    I read the admission prereqs and it says that you need statistics, anatomy, physiology and microbiology - is that all? Do you know if it is A&P I and II? I didn't see any course codes. I had planned on applying only at JU and UNF but I may apply ...

14. Do you have any other options?

    julwh replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My backup plans are to apply for respiratory therapy or radiography if I don't get in! Of course both of those programs in my area are very competitive to get into also so I am hoping for any of the three!

    Neshia - good thinking to ask your schools again. It never hurts to be absolutely sure so that you don't waste time and money!
