Congrats! That was my least-favorite pre-req!!! I also go an A, only because my professor spoon-fed us what we needed for the tests, I don't understand the concepts at all!

Well Sweetgeorgia, I sincerely hope teaching will be better for you than it was for me. I'm quitting teaching after 5 years to go into an ABSN program. I also had 12 hours days, only I worked them 5 days a week (parent meetings, planning, creating ma...

Why does a bridge cost 30K? That's crazy. SCF in Bradenton will have a weekend bridge starting soon, and I'm sure it won't cost 30K. I can't imagine spenting a total of 55K on an associate's degree. I hope you find a better option.

These posts are depressing to me. I'm a pre-nursing student, and on leave from my teaching job. You guys have all the same complaints about nursing as I do about teaching, and I was hoping nursing was a better profession. We teachers may have a unio...
Our current system is idiotic, penny-wise and pound foolish. I am an unemployed, uninsured pre-nursing student. I could get COBRA from my old job at a cost of $545 a month. Since I am unemployed, I cannot pay that. I have applied for dozens of jobs, ...
I don't have a reply for you, but I'm thinking of applying there. How is the program? Would you mind sharing your stats? Did you take all of the recommended pre-reqs?

I'm not an athiest, funny how you all assumed that though. I guess one must be an athiest if one doesn't believe in Christ. I just object to "all strength comes from Christ."

I really wish you Christians would put some type of disclaimer on your posts that talk about God and Jesus. Sometimes I feel like this is Christiannurses.com. It's unwelcoming to read how I'm weak since I don't believe in Christ (and that's where str...

Jolie: how can you state that children with lice shouldn't be sent home? Don't you think they will spread lice in the classroom through hugging, sharing hairbrushes, lice getting on the carpet and crawling on other students, etc?
What determines "healthy"? A good BMI? I am obese on my bmi, but I am obese due to lean muscle mass (133 pounds of it to be exact!). Being able to run a marathon? There are plenty of skinny people who couldn't keep up with me on a treadmill. I say st...

Bradenton is crime-infested and gang-infested. Sarasota is much nicer and safer. Check city-data.com for the cities you want to move to. It has great information and message boards about each town. Good luck on your move.

It totally depends on your school. One school I looked at wrote on their website that they would not consider applicants with a "pattern of W's" on their transcript. Two others I'm applying to will not take re-takes, so your first grade stands. Some ...

Do you have to take nutrition now? I'm taking it with A&P 2, and it's a breeze since it basically reviews everything (minus body parts) from A&P 1 and some horomone stuff we just did in A&P 2. I don't have to study for it at all, and I'm...
