Hello, I have completed manually entering my transcripts from my school that I have received a BS degree from. However, I also took some community college classes on the side during my time at the 4-year institution, and I was wondering what to put for academic status for the CC classes? For example, when I was a junior at my main institution, I took a Sociology class at the community college. Would I then place under academic status for that CC transcript as Freshman, or should I place junior to reflect my time at the main institution? I placed an image below of my CC course. At this time in 2018 I was a junior at my 4 year college. Thank you

Hello, I am currently applying to nursing schools, and I have a nurse (who supervises me) that will write me an LOR. However, she approached me and mentioned that it would be helpful for her and for myself if I provide some examples to her of things I'd want highlighted in my LOR (certain situations etc.). My problem is, I don't want to seem like I am giving her cases where I was extraordinary but she didn't realize it. Overall, I try to do my job and anything I do above that I find personally just to be part of me and something I would normally do-- not something that I find above my position or extraordinary (for example, assisting around and interacting with patients who may seem let down that day or not listened to). To get an idea of what I do, I check vitals and assist with gathering patients to have their blood sugars checked (this is in a clinic). I also help pull files for the day that they would be using. I was wondering if any of the following would work? 1) Listening to patients who have concerns that concerns their social life or feelings. I have found that when I have free time, I like to go around and check in on patients and see how their days are. Overtime I have managed to learn more about them and make them feel comfortable talking to me about various problems, whether it be social, mental, etc. An example would be my taking care of a woman who came in earlier than we were opened and instead of going to the staff meeting I stayed with her and kept her company. I felt like certain patients managed to speak and trust me when it came to addressing their concerns with other staff members. 2) I am constantly trying to learn and I am open to communication and asking for help in order to best assist patients. Sometimes if a patient is unsatisfied or the BP cuff is too tight because of their high BP, which results in their anger, I always after that incident, or incidents where I see there could be potential problems, like to check with nurses that I am doing things correctly in the manner they taught me. I always like double checking and going over my mental plan with them before proceeding. 3) Would certain things such as my curiosity about the healthcare field and how it differs in America and between other countries work as an example? We have constant conversations about this and I am always interested in comparing since I had the chance to experience two very different systems in different countries. Additionally, since we help with a lot individuals with diabetes, we seem to find ourselves talking about new innovations, and I like learning more things about different drugs from her. Overall, I have special relationships with each patient I interact with and I have learned more and more about them. I truly believe that this is the most satisfying thing for me, but I don't find this to be an example of going above and beyond. All these exampled I have provided seemed just like an ordinary day, and I don't view anything that I do to be too special. I just find it hard to answer what the nurse is asking of me because I feel like it is something any nurse, or even non-nurse, would do.

Hello there! I couldn't seem to find a comment or thread regarding prereqs. I'm applying for Fall 2020 and so I have been trying to contact by email, but the school doesn't seem to be replying after three failed tries. I am wondering if there is a unit requirement for the prerequisite coursework? I just wanted to make sure and confirm to make sure my courses will fulfill any unit requirement since I attended a quarter system university and not a semester system university. For example, I have 5 quarter units of Microbiology, which would be 3.3 semester units. Thank you for your help, and I apologize if this is the wrong place to post (still new at navigating these forums ? ). Congratulations to all on your accomplishments!
