1. Microbiology - Fall 2005

   ksparkman replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I haven't been able to keep up with this board, but I do get email updates occasionally. I think that I keep seeing messages about people who hate the class entirely. Is it the teacher, or the class material, or both? I LOVE my Micro class, and ha...

2. I got my denial letter from DCCCD

   ksparkman replied to ksparkman's topic in Pre-Nursing

   First, I want to thank everyone for their support with all of this. Second, I did email the lady at El Centro. I didn't think that I would hear from her, but 20 minutes later I had an email in my inbox. She said that she looked at my records and th...

3. I got my denial letter from DCCCD

   ksparkman replied to ksparkman's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, the last time I checked all A's meant you have a 4.0 :uhoh21:

4. I got my denial letter from DCCCD

   ksparkman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just got the mail and I received my denial letter from El Centro. The cutoffs stated earlier on the DCCCD board are correct. However, what is incorrect is my prerequisite GPA. They calculated it incorrectly. They said I have a 3.77, when in fact...

5. I really need to talk about this! (long)

   ksparkman replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I am not a nurse, and I just changed my major to pre-med, but I wanted to tell you that you did what you should have done. That's absolutely ridiculous! And besides, who cares what she thinks! The other people were right. That OB would NEVER come...

6. Microbiology - Fall 2005

   ksparkman replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We are using the book titled Microbiology author Robert W. Bauman. The reason why I ask is because there are critical thinking questions throughout the chapter and I want to check my answers. However, I can't find the answers anywhere in the book. ...

7. What is the Illustrated notebook for Tortora's Anatomy & Physiology like?

   ksparkman replied to rhp123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Personally, I liked the book. It is a big spiral bound book with all of the illustrated pictures. Nothing is labeled so you can do it yourself. That really helped me. Instead of taking notes from class in it, I took my own notes in it while I rea...

8. NET - when do you get results?

   ksparkman replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Amy, I got mine immediately.

9. Hard to get into Nursing Program, any advice?

   ksparkman replied to Juish1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Is there only one nursing program in your area? If not, find out what it takes to get into all of them. Apply to every one of them to increase your chances. You may also look into getting a Pell Grant. It's free money for school depending on your ...

10. CRNA Confusion

    ksparkman replied to ksparkman's topic in CRNA

    I guess I didn't make it clear enough. I was told by a family member that I was no good in math and that I'd never make it in the medical field. Anything is possible with hard work, and that's where I am today. I've made A's in all of my math cour...

11. CRNA Confusion

    ksparkman replied to ksparkman's topic in CRNA

    Right. I'm aware that I have to become an RN first, work in CICU for a minimum of two years, and then apply for the masters program. Shadowing a CRNA is something that I've been thinking of as well. I've been looking into that in my area. But I ne...

12. CRNA Confusion

    ksparkman posted a topic in CRNA

    I am having somewhat of a problem deciding what I want to do. Last year, I decided that I would pursue a nursing career. I had been told at an early age that I wasn't good in math and science and that I would never make a good nurse. Also, it was ...

13. Bookstore refuses to give out ISBN #'s

    ksparkman replied to happydz's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Great idea! :) But be careful to get the right edition. So many of my classes have worthless books after the semester is over due to a new edition, or a revision to the old book. I've really wasted a lot of $ this way. I hope your possible solut...

14. Bookstore refuses to give out ISBN #'s

    ksparkman replied to happydz's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Ugh! You are kidding! That's ridiculous! I can't believe those jerks!

15. Do you cover your books?

    ksparkman replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I say go for it! Who cares! In fact, now you've made me think twice about it. Maybe I should cover my books too! :wink2:
