1. What specialty are you considering?

   makingithappen3 replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing

2. What specialty are you considering?

   makingithappen3 replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When do you decide on a specialty? Is that something you decide while you are in the nursing program, and take specialized courses for it? I am currently in a 2-year ADN program, and am wondering if and when I will have to choose my specialty, which ...

   makingithappen3 replied to clg0213's topic in Pre-Nursing

    makingithappen3 replied to makingithappen3's topic in Louisiana

    I am pretty new to Delgado from Nicholls State, so I had alot of useless gen.ed credits that 4 year universities make you take. Because their prereqs were so different than DCC's I am starting the bio prereq to A&P since I had no science classes ...

15. best way to schedule classes to maximize degree progression

    makingithappen3 replied to makingithappen3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    An example of what I am dealing with is this: I'm scheduling Algebra 101& Biol 141 (intro biology) because I cannot get into A&P I without entry level bio. That is only 2 classes for the entire semester! I have already taken Eng. 101, 102 and...
