Anyone taking classes at Sierra College - Rocklin?

Published

Hi there,

I am a new resident of Northern California... and I am also finishing my pre-reqs for nursing. Was wondering if anyone else was going to Sierra to get their pre-reqs and attempt nursing through them.

I have an AA already, so I was going to just apply to all the schools to see who will take me first, when I am ready.

I am 34, I have a teenaged son, in a relationship... and I am working full time at a surgery center.

I am looking for a "study buddy" and nursing school partner. (A new friend too)

Take care,

Tami :)

Hi Tami,

I just finished most of my community college level pre-reqs at Sierra and am slowly working through the additional pre-reqs required for Sac State so that I can increase my options for nursing school. I'd be happy to study with you or be available to answer questions so that I can keep the material fresh in my head while I'm waiting to get into a school. What are you taking this semester? Oh, and I'm 38, married, and have a son in elementary school.

Hi there,

Nice to meet you. I have done some of the pre-reqs before. I have had micro and nutrition, but it's been 7 years so I have to retake them. I will be done with all my pre-reqs by spring 2011. I will be applying to start nursing school in fall 2011.

My boyfriend is going to be taking some of the classes with me as well. He's going for an EMT certificate as well as a Natural Science degree. I am getting re-certified as an EMT so I can work some while going through nursing school.

It will be nice to have a new friend in the area who is also going through this.

BTW, what is your name?

My son will be 15 in 2 weeks, and my stepdaughter will be 7 (on the same day).

Hope to talk to you soon. :D (the smiley is from my stepdaughter for you)

Hi Kristine,

Thanks for the message!!! I was going to reply back, but I realized I cant until I get my posts up more (since it's still less than 10)

Can you send me your email? I would like to chat with you more. I am at work right now, but I check my email during the day.

Thanks!!

Tami

Hi Tami

I am also at Sierra, taking Chem 2A right now. After this semester I only have physiology and micro left and will also be applying everywhere for the fall 2011. I am 39 with 3 kids. What are you taking this semester?

hi there!!! awesome news!!

well, i just moved here to ca from virginia 3 months ago, so i didn’t get here in time to take anything for the fall. but i am taking classes starting in the spring.

i am taking chem a and hsci 2 (emt-basic) in the spring. i used to be an emt years ago in florida and i decided to get re-certified. (in case my current job doesn’t want me to work part time, i can work nights as an emt while i go to nursing school)

summer, i am taking human dev, and nutrition. fall 2010 i am taking anatomy and chem 2a, and spring 2011 i will be taking physiology and microbiology.. summer of 2011 i will be taking sociology and possibly “dosage calculations or pharmacology” at sac state to satisfy those classes.

i hope i can still apply even though i will be finishing up the classes in the spring of ’11. i have to re-take microbiology and nutrition because it’s been over 7 years since i last took them l so it’s like i am starting over. luckily, i already have an aa degree, so i don’t need any general ed classes.

if you want to add me as a friend on here, please do. if you want my email let me know. j
