  4. How many people are in your nursing class?

    I'm not sure how many total students. It's a community college with three campuses. The campus I'm attending only accepts 8 nursing students every two years, only one nursing class at a time. The main campus accepts 50 every fall.
  5. Slashing budget to pay for nursing school

    I was very lucky to get a scholarship that pays full tuition and fees for both years of my ADN program. My state also offers a grant for up to $2000 a year for people over 24 who are continuing their education. I also applied for several small founda...

  8. Grade in Anatomy and Physiology

  9. What to expect in Microbiology?

    I liked micro more than A&P II. I took both classes the same semester and some of the material was covered in both classes. Make sure you really get down the gram positive and gram negative in the beginning of the course. I loved the lab. Most of...

    I'm not sure how FL works but I know a little about Arkansas in nursing homes. In Arkansas if you have something on your record the Office of Long-term care decides if you can work in a nursing home. Lets say that someone was convicted of forgery. Y...

  14. Which classes should i take at CC if I want to be a CRNA?

    Some science courses are good for only 5 years. Some schools will accept them older than 5 years if you have been working in a related field. Just something to keep in mind.
  15. Most Challenging Prereq?

    Make sure you really know everything in the first few chapter of A&P I. The rest of A&P I and A&P II builds off the first few chapters. You will notice that you will use that information throughout both semesters. I would take Chem before...
