Dcccd 2006

Anybody thinking about El Centro/ Northlake in the DCCCD for Jan 2006?

[L&D4ME]

Well, I am going the RN-BSN (hopefully) route. Eventually, I want to be a CRNA, but I need to get my BSN first. I typed out all the classes I needed and was wondering if you knew - since you said you want to attend UTA for your BSN - if for the Fine Arts elective do they take foreign languages?

Just wondering, I still have a while to go.:)

If I don't get in, then I will continue to take the RN-BSN core classes. I guess if I don't get in for Spring '06, nor Fall '06, then I may try to just go for my BSN. I'd definitely work while completeing the next few BSN core classes. I'm holding out until I hear whether or not I'm accepted. (So, I may be looking for a job come 2 weeks from now! )

Good luck with your decision, but I'm sure you'll get in though! :)

I'm not sure, great question!! I have 3 semesters, sadly all B's though. I know they said that UPPER LEVEL foreign language would work for the Upper Level electives, but not the CC's foreign language classes. (Those are lower level.)

I have class tomorrow, but I'll try to remember to call UTA tomorrow afternoon, if you haven't called by then. lol

That would save me some money, if they would. I could drop the music appreciation class that starts on 10-21!

10 DAYS NOW! :)

I know for EC/NL you have to have Speech 1301, does that count towards the "Computer Science" class - that says you can take Soph Lit, Speech, or Tech writing?

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

I believe so. On the equivalency sheet, it doesn't give exact numbers, nor does it say any specific level.

[AllyRN82, MSN, APRN]

That doesn't make sense. How can you be determined (hopefully that's what it was) enough to make a 4.0 on your pre-reqs & make a 2.64 on your support classes??????

I would retake Algebra if I have to, and I'm going to take Music Appreciation starting October 21st, just in case. If I don't need it to replace my B in American Lit to have a 4.0 (hopefully) on my 17 credits of support classes, then it will go towards my humanities credit for my future RN-BSN.

I am planning on doing the RN-MSN at TWU after I am a RN for a couple of years. I have just been taking classes toward that as well. Who do you have for Music App?? I took it on-line as well. I LOVE on-line classes.

I am soooo nervous right now. My friend just got her acceptance letter to Baylor Nursing and I am so ready to find out for us!! I bet this board will be hard to get into on the 15th with everyone posting! I do hope everyone keeps us updated. I know I will regardless of the results )

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

I think it's Austin.

I love online classes as well....studying in bed...nothing better!

My friend just got her acceptance letter to Baylor Nursing and I am so ready to find out for us!!

Congratulation. :balloons:

Do you know anything more about her letter?

What was the GPA req.?

Does she have to buy a lot of things?

I wish we got our letters a week earlier.

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

Congrats to her! :) That's exciting!

I wish we knew more. Even without the letter, I would like to know the little details, things to buy, colors, types, etc.

Even if I have to wait until Fall, I still could be looking for good deals if I knew the requirements and suggestions of the "accessory" items. lol

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

L&D4ME: I called UTA today, but the lady won't be back in until Monday.

If I remember, I'll try to call Monday after my chemistry class.

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

**9** days

until the letters are mailed!!!!

we've made it past

the double digits!!!!

good luck to us all!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! Gosh I remember doing this - waiting with baited breath - 15 years ago!!!!! How EXCITING! and nerve wracking!!!! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for ALL of you!

I did an AD program 91-93. I had planned on going straight back for the BS and then going into a masters program then. Life got in the way. I did the RN-BS program at TWU 2 years ago , and am now finishing up an NP program there. Nursing as been a roller coaster - both fun and frightening!

If you don't get in to one of the DCCCD programs this spring, just remember that there are other openings in the Fall. I know it sounds like a long time - but it's one semester. In the long run it won't matter!

GOOD LUCK!!!

[Fun2, BSN, RN]

Thanks gauge14v, and good luck with your NP program. That's exciting too! :)

As for your RN-BSN... Did you have to retake any of your sciences, or did they use the fact that you were a working RN and waive the 5 year rule?

I'm so excited. I hope I can do it, whenever I do get in! :uhoh21:
