2. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

   Sandi_NC replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I love this thread ~ what a great idea! I'm newly 40, married with 3 kids (15, 14 & 13) plus we're fostering a 6 month old that we're hoping to make ours someday, so things are definitely crazy around here! I started taking classes about 2 years...

3. Older Student

   Sandi_NC replied to sande8312's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks grannyclampett for bringing this thread back to life! I turned 40 a few months ago and I'm working on my pre-reqs. Our school accepts applications in the spring and starts a class every fall so I'm working to apply for spring 2014, and hoping...

4. Who else doesn't have or need nutrition class as their pre req?

   Sandi_NC replied to Studyhardpls's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in NC and none of the four schools I've looked at have nutrition as a pre-req. The general consensus in this area is: A&P I and II, an upper level math class, microbiology, chemistry and they are just now adding in Med Term I & II.

5. Who taking A&P this summer?

   Sandi_NC replied to keya86tiff's topic in Pre-Nursing

   So excited! I was able to adjust my summer/fall schedules so I'm now taking A&P I this summer as a hybrid class. So I am on campus one day a week and then we have web-centered work as well. We're also using Fundamentals of Anatomy, Martini 9th...

6. From Zero to Associate RN or from Preregs to BSN?

   Sandi_NC replied to confusedNur's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Is a private college your only option here in NC? Maybe I missed something but you could do your pre-reqs and complete a 2 yr RN program (through a comm. college) here and then after you pass your NCLEX you could move to CA. If you are a licensed R...

7. CNA cert. as a pre-req?

   Sandi_NC replied to Sandi_NC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   @Iheartcremebrulee I'm in far western NC though I've been to Raleigh once or twice. I didn't know that the exam could be challenged so that is good to know. I will have to look into that some more!

8. CNA cert. as a pre-req?

   Sandi_NC replied to Sandi_NC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks everyone for all your input! I'm frustrated by the requirement but only because it's just "one more thing" I've got to tackle and I'm not able (as of yet!) to make my schedule work where I can work on that as well as pull all the pre-reqs tha...

9. CNA cert. as a pre-req?

   Sandi_NC replied to Sandi_NC's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The closest BSN program is not requiring CNA cert. at this time but since the comm. college and the university like to work hand-in-hand, I'm wondering if that might not be changing within their program as well. Ugh!

10. CNA cert. as a pre-req?

    Sandi_NC replied to Sandi_NC's topic in Pre-Nursing

    No, you don't have to take the CNA course(s) through them though they offer a Nursing Asst. program that is 2 semesters (Fall = Nurs. Asst. I and Spring= Nurs. Asst. II) That program is covered by financial aid if you qualify for a Pell Grant. The ...

11. CNA cert. as a pre-req?

    Sandi_NC posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    The ADN program I'm considering is revamping their program and will now require CNA certification as a pre-req. They are also no longer using the HOAE (Health Occup. Aptitude Exam) but now using the TEAS. Has anyone else had to obtain CNA certific...

12. Fall 2013...

    Sandi_NC replied to Dtermnd2Bgreat's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm 40 and will be starting pre-reqs this fall. I've been in school for the past year and a half bouncing back and forth between HIT (Health Inf. Technology) and Nursing. I finally realized that I've got one life and time is moving fast! So far, I...

14. Who taking A&P this summer?

    Sandi_NC replied to keya86tiff's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was going to try for A&P I this summer but so far it looks like I'll have to wait until Fall. They only have one class scheduled for the summer and the timing isn't working for me. I'm kind of bummed but I think the Fall will be better and I ...
