Ahhh ok thanks for the info... I am really anxious right now!

I took Pharm online at SBCC and it was mind-numbingly easy. I got an A in it and finished the class about a month early. You can move at your own pace and get it all done in a weekend if you want. I ended up auditing Pharm at CSULB this semester, because I just wanted to learn more about the drugs that I would be using in the hospital. The professor is very supportive of letting you audit, so you can learn the material more in depth without the stress of cryptic exams.

FINANCIAL AID STUDENTS: If you are counting on Stafford loans to pay for your education, I would seriously consider which program (BASIC or TRIMESTER) you want to choose. It is likely that your Stafford loans will max out before you get to the summer trimester, and you can be left with nothing to pay for that semester. Summer semester is also more expensive than Fall and Spring, so I encourage you to get all the financial information NOW before you go to orientation and choose your program.

In addition, if you are a second degree BSN student, you will be classified as a Graduate Student and will pay Graduate level fees and are processed through the graduate division. However, you will not be eligible for any graduate loans (including the Graduate PLUS loan) or any graduate grants or fellowships. Make your financial plan early and look forward to the entire program. Hope this helps!

I understand why you audited the class. For me though, it kind of defeats the purpose of taking the class early if I have to technically take it again.

I'll definitely look into it though. SBCC's classes are almost filled up though. Congrats to those who got a spot!

I have registered backgoud check today. I think the instruction from school is old. You will never get email from Magnus.

I have just sent like 3-4 emails to "you know who" to evaluate syllabi for nutrition courses that I found. She is probably annoyed of me now, lol! I requested syllabus from the professors that teach the nutrition courses and they kept emailing me back 5-10 minutes after each other, so I sent them to "you know who" as I got them because the sooner we find out, the better. I will post if I find any more courses equivalent to Nutrition 339. I am having trouble finding another Pharm course. I checked most of the colleges on the equivalency list on the website, but no luck.

Has anyone looked into CPR classes yet?

I got an email from her today apologizing for the message possibly being a duplicate because she said their email system was acting weird today. The email she sent me had the title, nursing students looking for roommates. I never got the first email and the "duplicate" didn't contain anything.

Hopefully she got your emails. Maybe you'll have to call tomorrow to be sure.

Spiffyness · May 3, 2012

Yeah I got that email too. She replied to one of my emails earlier today, so I am sure that she is getting them. Since I sent more like 3-4 more syllabi past 5 pm, the office is probably closed so she will check tomorrow.

Also, I found another pharmacology course but it is IN CLASS (not online) at EAST LOS ANGELES COLLEGE.

The course is NURSING 275A and NURSING 275B.

Here's the most recent schedule : http://www.elac.edu/schedules/courselisting/cisPDF/Summer.pdf

It looks very open to me, and I just applied to the college yesterday and got my registration date today (Friday at 8 AM)

Everyone who is even the slightest interested should apply now to get a registration date. The class runs from July 7 to August 10th. (Since it is part A and B)

If I don't get into the online course at SBCC, I will most likely take this class. It's only on Mondays and Tuesday either starting at 8 am or 2 pm and it is 3 hours long.

I hope this helped you guys who are interested!

For those wondering, It is approved by CSULB: http://www.csulb.edu/colleges/chhs/departments/nursing/docs/ApprovedPharmacologyandPathophysiologyCourses.pdf

Spiffy, please let me know if ML replies back to you with any approved NUTR CC classes.

As for ELAC, don't you have to be in its nursing program to be allowed to take those classes?

Spiffyness · May 3, 2012

I will let you know. And I didn't read anything about that on the ELAC schedule but I will let you know on Friday if I'm able to register or not. Did you apply to SBCC to try and get into pharm online?

I am hoping you don't need to be in the program to take it. But it wouldn't make sense to put it on the CSULB Pharm/Patho list if we weren't able to take it unless we were in their program

CluelessNursingGuy · May 3, 2012

I was looking at SBCC's requirements and since I have an course in-progress, they won't technically let me add those classes until they have received the final transcript for the class. It sucks because I can register for classes now since I applied there a couple weeks back.

I guess I won't be taking any summer classes. :doh:

Spiffyness · May 3, 2012

Aw I'm sorry to hear that. I sent in my pre-req challenge form/transcript about 24 hours ago. I think I should be able to register by Friday I hope. Maybe you can try ELAC if they will let us take it? I seriously think ML will be super annoyed of me when she checks her email in the morning since I sent her 3 separate emails after 5 pm with separate syllabi lol.
