   I start in August, and I'm super excited! See you in that forum!

2. College Chem and Organic Bio Chem... & PSY majors read

   mama_in_atx replied to Gannon1qb's topic in Pre-Nursing

   BA Psyc here... I feel that Social Psyc and Sociology are really two quite different courses. Having taken them both, Soc Psyc dealt more in theories and case-studies while Sociology was more anthropological...at least IME. Another pre-req that'll co...

3. Does it matter where you take your prereq's?

   mama_in_atx replied to summersent's topic in General Students

   Just being curious here, but what university doesn't offer a basic pre-req math course? I'm guessing that you must have something other than college algebra...more like biostatistics or something along those lines? I do, however, understand the diffe...

4. Austin LPN/LVN job outlook

   mama_in_atx replied to Trophywife81's topic in Texas

   I believe this is true, but the problem seems to be with finding the faculty to teach all these additional students!

5. Any ACC students out there?

   mama_in_atx replied to rockermom's topic in Texas

   Congrats austinrnguy! I wonder what the range of ranking scores is. Think they'll let those of us who didn't get in this time know that information so we can get an idea of when we might rank? I've got to work for the next year to save up to pay for ...

6. Any ACC students out there?

   mama_in_atx replied to rockermom's topic in Texas

   I'm not aware of any recent changes, but I just took the exam for the first time last month. I'm not sure if the test itself was any different before, but I thought it tested on pretty basic info. What are the new requirements?

7. Anyone here going to ACC???

   mama_in_atx replied to adelajudith's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took Pharm online with Espinosa, but it was really boring and hard to make myself watch those monotonous videos! I had Felix Villarreal for Intro to Micro, and loved it. Great class, knowledgeable instructor, lots of fun overall. I took Sarah Stron...

   AWESOME! Any words of wisdom for the rest of us?

9. Any ACC students out there?

   mama_in_atx replied to rockermom's topic in Texas

   Yes, I have a BA in Psychology from St. Ed's, but I've always wanted to work in healthcare (was pre-med for 2.5 years!). Yeah, I'm thinking Master's more and more, but man is it $$$! Thanks for the input! Good for you!! I WISH my undergrad grades w...

10. Any ACC students out there?

    mama_in_atx replied to rockermom's topic in Texas

    I'm taking the last of my prereq's at ACC, and am still deciding whether to take the last 2 prereq's for the UT-AE MSN program. I just hate the idea of doing the extra work for those classes and then NOT get into UT! Asepoopoo, when did you apply &a...

11. How long did you breastfeed?

    mama_in_atx replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Son #1: 8 months w/supplemental formula starting at 2 months (my poor little FTT baby needed all the cals he could get). Son #2: He's 19 months and still going strong (nothing shy of a miracle after all the prob's we had early on)!

12. Finding a way to pay for college after you've already gotten a BA & student loans

    mama_in_atx replied to FutureAustinNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh, about the delay in fin-aid results...if you already have a Bach degree, you have to file an appeal through the nursing dept at the CC you're wanting to attend in order to be granted aid through the fin aid office. They review your total loan debt...

    mama_in_atx replied to FutureAustinNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi FAN! I'm sorry I'm just now reading your message (back in school=not so much time for the boards!), but I think I can help you in a couple areas. First of all, I worked for a company w/a 401A contribution program, and even though you're not fully ...
