2. MJC allnurses 2020

   dderrough replied to IreneRN's topic in School Programs

   I don't want to get my hopes either, but now that there is 20% lottery I'm assuming they wouldn't want supporting documents from every qualified applicant,. That seems a lot of unnecessary paperwork to have to go through. But I could be wrong! I know...

6. MJC allnurses 2020

   dderrough replied to IreneRN's topic in School Programs

   Good luck everyone! I submitted my application yesterday. My points were pretty low (had B's and one C in my sciences. All A's in my non-sciences of course lol), so I'm counting on the lottery. I am retaking the science (Physio) I got a C in this sem...

   dderrough replied to IreneRN's topic in School Programs

   Hi! I'm planning on applying this Feb as well, and am taking the TEAS next week. I didn't do as well as I would have liked in Physio and am planning on retaking it at Stan State this spring semester. I know it won't help me in applying this year, but...

   Oh... and to add I will be applying to a CSU as well in my area and it transfers over to meet the nursing prereq requirements.

   dderrough replied to stormii's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The class I am taking currently is for basically the Chem class recommended for nursing majors at my school and it is considered General organic biochem.

10. Re-taking science classes?

    dderrough replied to epowetata's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You definitely need to check the school's retake policy as many of them are different. I'm in CA too and some don't even allow retaking nursing prereqs, so that would disqualify you right off the bat. Some allow one retake only of either a science or...

11. Is Nutrition course really the hardest course?

    dderrough replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I loved my Nutrition class and I finished up with a 99%. But I am also highly interested in nutrition as well. For me it wasn't a struggle at all, but it was also enjoyable for me to study since I already had an interest.

12. Feeling Discouraged

    dderrough replied to Etak's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I feel for you and can totally relate. I have 3 kids at home and go to school when they are in school. My husband works, but recently switched from a swing shift to day shift. It has been great, unless the kids have no school or are sick. Then I have...

13. How many prerequisites Did you take at once?

    dderrough replied to ChristinaVL's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am actually currently struggling with how many prereqs I should take together next semester, so I feel you. For my school Chemistry is the prereq or Micro and Physio so you have to take it first. I struggled with all the memorization in Anatomy and...

14. Nursing school at 38?

    dderrough replied to Elle7745's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It is definitely not too late! I turn 39 next month and am currently in school finishing up all my prereqs. I have been in school now for 2.5 years ( I started when my youngest started kindergarten). I am planning on playing to the ADN and BSN progra...

15. Drop public speaking with a "w"?

    dderrough replied to RN_OneDay's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Is it a prereq at the school you will be applying to? At my school if you take a W in a nursing prereq then they actually subtract points from your app. So a C would be better than a W.
