  1. How many class are you taking?

    Hi! I have 5 kids (age 10 and under) and how many classes I've taken per semester has depended on the class. For example, I'm only taking one class per semester while I take anatomy, physio, and...
  2. The lotteries where I am at, wipe clean each year/semester so you need to reapply if you don't get picked. There's no waitlist, but there is "alternate." So, they pick 40 names and offer them a spot,...
  3. Where in CA are you? There are options with a B. I'm in the Sacramento area. Basically, you absolutely have to have 4.0 to get into sac state. However, CCs and city colleges in the area accept...
  4. Should I take nutrition online?

    I took both nutrition and stats online and it was fine. Generally I find online classes easy with the exception that you need to be self motivated and not a procrastinator. Like the other poster...
  5. There is one school near me that requires only highschool algebra and chem to get in. There's also no waitlist and you only need a low (for nursing) highschool gpa. (I can't remember exactly what it...
  6. Micro, A&P2, statistics, devel psych

    How loaded have your previous semesters been? What were you taking along with A&P1? Do you have a job or other commitments outside of school? If it were me, I'd personally drop micro, and come...
  7. Anatomy and Physiology. Some schools have both combined in classes that you take over 2 semesters (A&P1 and A&P2) and others just have one in depth semester of anatomy and then one of physio....
  8. I'm in the same boat and decided to stick with one class per. I'm in anatomy now and while I'm doing fine, it's taking SO much of my time to stay on top of it, I honestly don't know how I'd be holding...
  9. Pell Grant/ financial aid

    With an ADN you are still an undergrad so the ADN doesn't disqualify you from continuing to receive Pell grants, but having any prior bachelor's will. So if the BSN would be your first bachelor's, you...
  10. NO MORE pre reqs to the pre reqs!!!

    This might be an option to get into some chemistry itself, but algebra is still a prerequisite for the ADN programs here. You need statistics for a BSN and algebra is a prereq for stats. If you're...
  11. NO MORE pre reqs to the pre reqs!!!

    Where I am most of the nursing prereqs will completely fill, then the waitlist fills and stops accepting almost as soon as registration begins. It happened this semester for anatomy. I was waitlisted...
  12. NO MORE pre reqs to the pre reqs!!!

    I'm wondering if you're trolling because your information is blantantly wrong. In your OP you said to google it if we're skeptical. I did and the facts about AB 705 do not match up with what you are...
  13. NO MORE pre reqs to the pre reqs!!!

    Also, the law took affect Jan 1, 2018. So this current semester is the same as it will be next semester as far as statewide laws
  14. NO MORE pre reqs to the pre reqs!!!

    Not up here. í ¾í´·*♀️ There is no (and never was) a prereq for anatomy, but there is for physio, and chem in the school catalog for spring 2019. It doesn't make sense for there to...
  15. NO MORE pre reqs to the pre reqs!!!

    Chare, you are correct... I'm currently working through my prereqs at a CA cc and there are prereqs for my prereqs. Anatomy and physio are two separate courses at my school, and to be allowed to...
  16. Low cumulative GPA. Hope for ABSN?

    I had to do this. I had two Ds from 10+ years before returning to do nursing. I retook the classes, got As and now the prior Ds are still on my transcript but with a notation that they are excluded....
  17. I got my first exposure to a dissected cadaver today in anatomy. Once I was over the initial shock of how gross it was, I was ok. I had to keep reminding myself that this donor signed up for this...
  18. It really depends on the program. Based on the climate up here (Sacramento area) the CSU route is unlikely to impossible without an extremely competitive GPA. But, the CCs are more lenient in that a...
  19. Feeling Discouraged

    I'm working my way through prerequisites and as I get closer to being ready to actually apply to a program, I'm feeling like I may have been kidding myself to think I can pull this off. I'm a great...
  20. Nursing school and cadavers?

    It was really fascinating! We are working on our muscle unit so that was the main focus but when the professor opened the thoracic cavity it was really amazing to see everything irl. Generally, I...
  21. Nursing school at 38?

    It really depends on your area. Some places are so impacted that it's either extremely competitive or lottery (or both). Others, if you meet the requirements, there's room for you. In my area, we're...
  22. Organic Chemistry, HELP!

    Tyler DeWitt on YouTube. No joke, he makes it so easy and he likely has a video for every topic you'll be
  23. Nursing school at 38?

    I'm 33, married and had kids young and never went to college either. I've been working through my prerequisites for two years (slowly, cause young kids). I also was terrified at math and science, I...
  24. I took nutrition online over summer at my local cc and it was not hard. I had to put some time into it but it was not the hardest prereq! If you happened to have already taken chem or A&P it'll be...
  25. Fall semester classes '17

    I'm still a total newbie student when it come to pre-nursing: this fall I'm taking intermediate algebra and Intro. to chemistry. The algebra is a prerequisite for Chem 2, which is a prerequisite for...
