  2. Chemistry Advice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to maria1315's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually really enjoyed chemistry! Are you struggling more with the concepts or doing the actual problems? FutureNurseInfo gave some incredible advice on how I would approach the concepts. Applying...

  3. Studying tips

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to NurseCesar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rob95 mentioned some awesome advice! I think each class depends on the professor you are taking. Some professors will make you work incredibly hard for a good grade (which I do appreciate) and other...

  4. Intro to Bio and A&P1

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to dahliadiaz11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If Biology is not a class that you have to take then I would not waste the time, energy, and money on taking it. There was a tiny part of Bio/Chem in my A&P I class (first exam), but after that it...

  5. Nursing school stress

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Uc66's topic in General Students

    While I can't speak from personal experience, I do have friends in various stages of their nursing school career. One friend in particular who I know is a hard worker told me that nursing school is...

  6. Pre-Requisite Question

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to 301589's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Health dilemma + school clinicals = what to do??

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Amandaagain's topic in General Students

    I am not entirely sure if this may be an option for you financially or otherwise, but you may consider looking into having your eggs frozen and using a surrogate down the line. I would imagine that...

  8. Wanting to re-take a Prerequisite at a CC??

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to jum00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I am not mistaken, many cc's will not let you retake a course if you took it at that institution or at a satellite/same "district". I would try to make an appointment with admissions at whatever...

  9. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    They did discuss the new points system. In regards to the cut off, it changes every year based off of the applicant pool. Some semesters it will be really high and other semesters it will be lower....

  10. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

  11. Should I take 5 nursing pre-reqs in one semester?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Sweetie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone mentioned this already, but between your Fall and Spring semesters can you take human growth and development then? I did not find this course difficult, but it was a lot of busy...

  12. Any Advice?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to AddictedToCoffee4657's topic in General Students

    Like paisling and HarleyGrandma said, practice! Already knowing what you're going to say, when you're going to say it, and actually saying it all make a difference and helps you to build confidence....

  13. Important!! Help

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Meagan7723's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just as an additional bit of information, please take into consideration that it can take sometimes two or more years to just do prerequisite courses for many 2 year programs. If I am not mistaken,...

  14. Why are nursing students getting older

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    There are a ton of different reasons including the ones you mentioned. I know some stay-at-home-parents who now have an empty nest and wanted to do something they considered meaningful. Others needed...

  15. English as Second Language Student, Desperately Need an Advice

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to shaylee1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely would seek help if you are able to. Many schools offer some sort of counseling available to their students. Something that I would also recommend would be to join a club or group on...

  16. Anatomy II and Chemistry I together??

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to apompa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Jen that it is doable. I did not find chemistry to be particularly challenging because I had a strong chemistry background from high school that managed to stay with me over the years....

  17. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

  18. Am I crazy to take all these science classes at once?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Mikespeese's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just from connections I have noticed myself thus far between the classes, your basic chemistry and biology are needed to set a solid foundation for your A&P courses and Microbiogy. I used limited...

  19. Fall 2017 Chat

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This semester I have A&P II, Sociology, and Nutrition. I am in the process of becoming both a tutor and Supplemental Instructor for a class I took previously. Tomorrow will be my second day, but I...

  20. Pre-Nursing Tuition & Fees

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to momofa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Could it be fees typically associated with certain majors like lab materials, use of technology, etc.? That would be my best guess. You may need to contact the schooo directly to get the best

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Chapelc13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Though not a BSN, there are ADN/ASN programs out in California (or other states) that you may be able to get into. After getting your RN, then you can always do an RN-BSN program afterwards. Also...

  24. Low Foundation GPA, what should I do?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Xylialover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. Try to apply to more than one school. There are private institutions that may accept a lower GPA as they can be pricey. You may come out with a lot of debt, but done the right way, you could pay it...

  25. Studying: Lined Paper vs. Blank Sheets

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    I have been fortunate enough to have professors for most of my courses provide PowerPoints. I add in things that I think are important. The couple of classes that didn't have PowerPoints were classes...
