  1. I can understand your frustration - I had to deal with the same situation. The first CC I went to did not have priority registration and I had no problems getting into the classes I needed. Then I had to transfer to a school that did priority registr...
  2. Pre-requisite question

    I was in a similar situation. I enrolled in A&PI and it had been over 10 years since I took Chemistry in high school. I ended up being fine though and got an A in the class. I found in my class between the textbook and lecture, the concepts I nee...
  3. A&P II - Need Review Advice

    Thanks so much! Now that you have mentioned it, studying tissue types does make a lot of sense knowing what we are going to be studying. And while I did get an A in A&P I, sometimes the chemistry would throw me off a little, so I will look over m...
  4. A&P II - Need Review Advice

    I am starting A&P II in a couple a weeks and am a little nervous since it's been a almost 2 years since I took A&P I (which was also at a different school). I would like to review/refresh my A&P knowledge as much as I can before class sta...

  6. NIU info

    I also am interested in info on NIU's program. I am currently taking my prereqs at JJC and was planning on applying to the program there, but also would like to know about what other options are out there.
  7. Very Discouraging

    wow...i feel so much better after reading everyone's posts! i was starting to get discouraged too. i also work full time and have been taking my prereqs for two years as i am only able to take one a semester. financially i can't afford to work part t...
  8. Hopeful... But very discouraged

    I know that some schools (including the one I will apply to) only look at the GPA from the pre-reqs they require. So maybe find out what classes are required and retake any that you have a very low grade in. Also, if it has been a long time since you...

  10. Is anyone volunteering?

    I am an on again-off again volunteer at a local hospital. I started on a med/surg floor and switched to the ED and love it! The problem is I just don't have enough time to go on a regular basis between my full time job and school. But when I have bee...
  11. Curious about textbooks:)

    I have been using Amazon and love it! I have gotten used copies that are in great condition for half the price, and then I turn around and sell any textbooks I don't want to keep and usually make all my money back.
  12. JJC Pre Nursing Students - Anyone else out there?

    Blue Cat is correct - you will need to complete Bio 250 before you can apply. I agree that you should meet with a nursing advisor if you haven't yet. I did several months ago even though I will not be applying for a while. She was extremely helpful -...
  13. Transferring to Joliet Junior College...prereqs?

    I have A&P II, Microbiology, and Soc 290 (taking online now). I am taking one class a semester while I work full time. Financially I won't be ready to apply to the program until probably Spring or Fall 2013. It seems like such a long way off!
  14. Joliet Junior College Prereqs

    Thanks so much for the info! I will send you a PM...curious about what you think about your instructors. I don't have much of a choice since I have to take evening classes, but it would be nice to know what I am getting into. And congrats on starting...
