  1. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    coolpeach replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It used to bother me, but not so much anymore. At first I felt like I had studied hard, and the cheater was able to get away with doing less work etc. Then it finally occured to me that the cheater is...

  2. For those taking or have had Micro...this is stumping me

    coolpeach replied to Shay08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure you didn't contaminate antibiotic A's zone with Anitbiotic B? Did you flame between applications? Its been about a year since micro, but if I remember right if they both have the same...

  3. Any programs with no waitlists?

    coolpeach replied to RNJimFromMI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dallas county community college in Dallas, Texas does not use a wait list. There are three colleges who offer an ADN program (El centro, Brookhaven, and Mountainview). Each base your entry on GPA of 4...

  4. Here we go again

    coolpeach replied to jessica<3RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been waiting for almost a month, and still have about a month left. I do hope we both get in !!!!! It seems to get worse for me the closer to the date it gets. I am sure I will be climbing the...

  5. Preadmission tests????

    coolpeach replied to dee78's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the hesi, but another college close to here does the net. I had a friend who told me her college did an entrance exam that started with P, but I don't remember the

  6. A real gift

    coolpeach replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all the good wishes. I went yesterday, and got it done. My butt is really sore!!!! I got a tet/dip, mmr, hep b, and a tb test. My physical form is all filled out, and its says I am good...

  7. LVN or RN?

    coolpeach replied to Kimberley.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At one point I considered going to the LVN route mainly because I heard that competition for entry wasn't as bad as the RN programs here. I changed my mind, and this is why. Most RN programs have a 5...

  8. Need a nursing school which does not require prerquisites for admission

    coolpeach replied to Ewurafia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most colleges also have a 5 year window on pre req sciences. Even if you took them and made an A if 5 years have passed from the end of that class to the date of acceptance into the program you must...

  9. Why do I do these things to myself?????

    coolpeach replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Deep breath...Deep breath. I do feel for you as I smoke, and I am about to try to quit. I am afraid of chantix, but will be using the patch, and gum. I keep putting it off because its the beginning...

  10. Very Discourgaged

    coolpeach replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am glad I took the long way and really took the time to learn pre algebra. I have used it it in chemistry, A&P, and micro just to name a few courses. I am not sure I would have made an A if I...

  11. Very Discourgaged

    coolpeach replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went through the same thing, and believe me the semesters go fast. I also had to take the pre algebra's. If your not strong at math I would suggest you take them seperately. I am good at fractions,...

  12. Do I have to get the Hep B again?

    coolpeach replied to HartlessRedhead1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have already gotten the series you do NOT need to get them again. You should have gotten 3 of them. My kids got them when they were babies, but they were not offered when I was a kid so I get...

  13. confused about pre reqs

    coolpeach replied to scotch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure about all schools, and I really only know that all CC programs in the Dallas/Fort Worth area require them. Wish I could be more

  14. Of all the pre-req's you've taken which was hardest

    coolpeach replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought Chem was somewhat easy, and micro wasn't too bad. The worst was A&P 1 & 2, and Algebra. I am terrible at math so of course that was tough for me. A&P just required hours and...

  15. Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

    coolpeach replied to FriendlyGhostRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi all I came to wait and chew my nails with you guys. I applied last month to a CC program here close to home. This is my second app, as I applied last semester too. The first time I applied I made...

  16. Familyof7isUnsupportive...WhoDoITurnTo?

    coolpeach replied to Student179's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are an adult and I while it would be nice to have their support you do NOT need it. Did everyone you spoke off call and ask your premission before deciding what they would do? If they would have,...

  17. How many semesters/years of Pre Reqs?

    coolpeach replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The program that I applied to has 4 main pre reqs. English 1, Chemistry 1, A&P 1, and Psych 1. When I started I thought WOW this won't take long. I took the college entrance exam and had to take 3...

  18. Frequency of communication from college

    coolpeach replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hotflashin, I am still waiting on word, but they will not be sending out letters until April 24, and they are firm on their timelines so I know not to look for anything earlier. I go through...

  19. Do I have any chance of getting in?

    coolpeach replied to reeindoubt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not sure which courses you took when you first went to college or how long ago that was. I do know that most nursing programs have a time limit on science courses so anything that is over 5 years...

  20. My nursing entrance exam says...

    coolpeach replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats strange. I would be very curious to see what I missed. I know when I took the hesi they gave us a printout when we were finished. It told us our final grade, the grade for each subject/section,...

  21. Frequency of communication from college

    coolpeach replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  22. Do I have any chance of getting in?

    coolpeach replied to reeindoubt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to an ADN, and I had a 3.8 and had to retake a class to get it to a 4.0, and I still may be short on getting in this semester. The CC ADN programs only admit a few students each...

  23. financial aide question

    coolpeach replied to Audi02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know....I would get it in writing like the above person said. It's been my experience that financial aid as well as advisors at the colleges do NOT stand behind what they say. If they tell you...

  24. Seeking advice from former A&P students

    coolpeach replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P 1 and A&P2, and Anatomy, and physiology were mixed together. We did it by system like you are. We learned the parts then the physiology then moved to a different system. I memorized...

  25. What do colleges look for a person who wants to be a RN

    coolpeach replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What I was told is that they want a person who can handle the pressure, and workload while making good grades. Someone who won't drop out (regardless of the reason). The school I am applying to looks...
