1. ADMITTED!!

   2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   My undergrad GPA was about a 3.3. I got my B.A. in 1995. Most of my science courses are 20 years old but my science GPA was about a 3.8. I did well on the TEAS test and I've been taking other,...

2. Totally confused - Nursing vs. Teaching

   2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I just got my acceptance letter for nursing school. The next day I got my acceptance letter for a Master's teacher certification program to teach Biology. Now I'm not sure what to do. I'm starting...

3. Acceptance to montgomery college nursing program

   2ndLife replied to liz0808's topic in Maryland Nursing

   I went to the information session at Frederick and was told that there was nearly zero possibility of someone from another county gaining admission to their program. They do everything on a point...

4. Acceptance to montgomery college nursing program

   2ndLife replied to liz0808's topic in Maryland Nursing

   Your post is dated September 2009 and you said you wanted to apply for Fall 2009. I'm thinking you meant Fall 2010. But anyway, I just learned that I was accepted without having completed A&P....

5. Montgomery College Takoma Park

   2ndLife replied to MNRN22's topic in Maryland Nursing

   Can you tell me how your schedule works out with NU 105 and 110? The schedules don't specify how much time you're spending for the NU 110 lab. I'm just trying to get an idea of what my schedule is...

6. MC Spring 2010 - anyone out there

   2ndLife posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

   I just got my certified packet in the mail today. I'm slightly freaking because I didn't think it was going to happen. Now I'm looking at everything I have to do, wondering how I'm going to support...

7. ADMITTED!!

   2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I haven't been on here for a while because things got all messed up with my prerequisites and I wasn't sure if nursing was ever going to happen for me. Basically, my employer refused to let me adjust...

8. New Nursing Students age 50 and up

   2ndLife replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

   I worry about this, too. Provided I'm accepted into a program next year, I will be 57 by the time I

9. I have a question about taking A&P 1 and 2 together

   2ndLife replied to Tracy B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I guess it would depend on the school. I originally registered for A&P 1 and 2 for this semester but decided it would be too much to take both plus two online courses and work full-time (I don't...

10. Feel like crying...need encouragement

    2ndLife replied to SoCaliGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll second that! I haven't read all the posts but I'm guessing I may win the prize: 54 and re-taking my pre-reqs. Heck, I figure I've still got another 10 good years in the work force and I'm...

11. 1st year nursing student with a slight fear of needles

    2ndLife replied to rach_006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a fear of getting a needle or watching someone else get one. It's poking someone (and hurting them) that gives me the shakes. As an undergrad I did a fellowship in cancer research and...

13. Calculator for General Chemistry

    2ndLife replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Already had Stat so I don't need to take that. But I definitely want one that will do scientific notation and metric conversions. Staples had one on sale this week that I thought would do the trick...

14. Calculator for General Chemistry

    2ndLife posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Will I need a calculator for General Chem? If so, any recommendations? I have a couple of basic ones at home but none that will do scientific

15. For A&P1, what are LAB PRACTICALS/TESTS like??

    2ndLife replied to tinediddy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm retaking A&P and it's been a while since I took it but this explanation is very close to what I recall. We used cat and fetal pig cadavers. When we were studying the histology portion of...
