  1. Pre Requisites

    coolpeach replied to shansm05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took mine through the Dallas County Community College district. You cannot take all of your classes online even if you want to (or at least I couldn't) as they do not offer all of them. Some of the...

  2. online classes

    coolpeach replied to gabi1787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is anyway to take your RN classes online. I know once you become an RN you can get your masters online, but not your basic RN degree. You can take some of your prereqs, but thats...

  4. Stress

    coolpeach replied to Futurenurse86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have no idea as I stressed all the time. The good news is sometimes your so busy you don't have time to stress. I think this forum helps because I can see other people are dealing with the same...

  7. What do you think this means?

    coolpeach replied to Hoping4RNin2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the colleges I have looked into count everything you have taken as your GPA. If you retake something generally the new grade replaces the old, and the old isn't counted. You might want to...

  8. What have you guys done about the prereqs?

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

    Here in Dallas we are being told that we really need a 3.8 to 4.0 to be competitive. Here there are no deductions for retaking a course so thats what we do. It's very common for students to retake a...

  10. Time Management Question

    coolpeach replied to Spartan05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You brave brave women. I have three kids (divorced mom), and I get very little physical support from their dad. I usually take 12 credit hours and I barely get it all done. I drop them off at school...

  11. Pre Requisites

    coolpeach replied to shansm05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest only taking classes you feel comfortable with online. I have taken several and did well in all of them but algebra which I dropped. I hate algebra!!! Remember with online classes you...

  12. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

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

    I remember all of those shows, and electric company was my favorite (with spider man). I don't remember zoom. I do remember those jelly shoes. I wore them to six flags and they melted....no joke. I...

    coolpeach replied to 2bNursewith7kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2bnurse... Your better off than me LOL. When its all said and done assuming I get in when I apply in Aug it will have taken me 5 1/2 years. I spent 3 1/2 years taking the prereqs, biology, and...

  15. I need some serious advice here!!

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

    Here in Dallas they have a 3 month program for RN's to get certified as a surgical nurse. If you like surgery, and still want to be a nurse you might see if they have a program like that in your area....

  16. Need advice on Test Prep. Books...Please!!!

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

    Go to http://www.hesitest.com and there is actually a specific book to study for Hesi 2. I am taking it in Aug and just got it in a month ago. It is written by the exact same people who write the test...

  17. Pre-Requisites Anyone?

    coolpeach replied to 2bNursewith7kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its the same here with completing the full two years. The original program (after the prereqs) is 17 classes (45 credit hours) and 13 credit hours of clinicals over a two year four semester period....

  18. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

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

    And remember Captain and Tenil, and The Barbara Mandrell show. I forgot all about these variety shows. I used to love the

  19. Pre-Requisites Anyone?

    coolpeach replied to 2bNursewith7kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to a 2 year CC program. You must have Intro to Psych, A&P 1, English 1, and Chemistry completed with pretty much all A's. In addition you get points for having completed End of life...

  20. Anyone moving somewhere for a shorter waiting list?

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

    The CC's here in Dallas do not have waiting lists. They go by a point system, and if you do not have enough points to make it into the top 40 you just reapply the next semester. I am applying my first...

  21. A&P: Really Hard vs. Just a lot of material

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

    My professor was tough, but good. It was a lot of material, but it was also very complex (especially A&P 2). I agree with the above posters about whats easy for some may not be for others. I love...

  22. Can you work full time and go to rn school???

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

    I have asked around here and been told no. I am told the program I am applying to requires two full shifts twice a week during the day at a hospital, and three full days at school. In addition you...

  23. I am taking 5 class this fall......

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

    You should be ok as long as you set side a time for studying and stick to it. Also make sure you treat your online class as a real class and don't get behind. Statistics and AP will be your hardest...

  24. How'd you learn bones & muscles?

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

    Blessed, I know the invite wasnt for me, but I went to your webpage, and love it. I took the learner profile test, and bookmarked the page to check out all the links. Its a great resource

  25. LPN and RN

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

    I have also considered LVN. I am told it's easier to get into the LVN program here than it is the RN. I am applying to the RN in Aug, and if I do not get accepted I am going to apply to the LVN(they...
