  1. D-Day: The Interview?

    sdmommie replied to kynrek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are too young to have exhausted all of your financial aid resources. Make sure you meet with a financial aid counselor ASAP. It should help with living expenses as well as tuition and books....

  2. Is it possible?

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    theatre9, I wouldn't live there. I think that there are better places to live that are right next to Escondido. Rancho Penasquitos, Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, etc. It depends what...

  3. I don't know if I got in or not

    sdmommie replied to capribry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would call the school to get clarification. Maybe you could get someone to call for you and pretend to be a prospective student asking about the

  4. Torrance Area?

    sdmommie replied to STFXNurse's topic in California Nursing

    Torrance is a huge city. I would try to live closer to the west side, which will bring you even closer to the beach. Be careful though, there is an Arco refinery in either Carson or (east)

  5. Is it possible?

    sdmommie replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    I think that there are pockets of really cool places for you to live. I lived in Santa Monica (really fun, but a bit expensive). Just remember, you're paying for the good weather. I really liked...

  6. Nutrition Class Vent

    sdmommie replied to bandas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My nutrition class was two units and more work than a four unit class. Just ridiculous. I heard from one of the students that waiting to take nutrition after you've taken the rest of the prereqs is...

  7. Maybe nursing isn't for me

    sdmommie replied to Keely-FutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NO...you can't give up yet. This is just one test. Is it possible for you to go over what you missed on the test with the instructor. Most of the time, instructors want you to do well. If they see...

  8. Tips for sucessful study habits

    sdmommie replied to ajs08RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tape lectures, (of course) write lecture notes, do the study questions at the end of every chapter. What helps me the most is integrating what I've learned. I always try to ask myself, "Why is...

  9. I feel silly

    sdmommie replied to gayleraff's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the way, if you need financial aid for the 2006/2007 school year, you should definitely fill out a FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) now. There's a lot of information that you will...

  10. what to do about admissions (long)

    sdmommie replied to Golden_Clover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say apply to the programs and give yourself options. I was in the same boat about 14 years ago. I thought that finishing with a bachelors in Psych would be better that dropping out of UCLA to go...

  11. Well I have to make a choice?

    sdmommie replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say go for your BSN. One year extra year will go by really fast anyway. It'll be harder to balance family (husband and kids), work, and school later on. Of course, I'm assuming that you don't...

  12. Any one else in the same boat?

    sdmommie replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I got my, "Congratulations, you're on the 2 year waitlist!" letter. I guess that's good? I think I'm happy. I guess I have two years to figure that one

  13. time management

    sdmommie replied to momx4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think delegating jobs is your best bet. Easy meals and casseroles. I got a slow cooker, prepare in the morning...eat later. I take naps when the girls (5 and 1) take naps. It also helped to...

  14. My Gpa Is Low What Are My Options

    sdmommie replied to leneilia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just checked the requirements to get into the ASN program at North Harris College. It looks like you just need a 2.5 in the prereqs that they require. http://www.nhmccd.edu I wouldn't give up...

  15. My Gpa Is Low What Are My Options

    sdmommie replied to leneilia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also did poorly in Micro and Nutrition about 15 years ago. Fortunately, the community college I applied to only wanted my grades for Micro, Anatomy and Physiology. The only requirements are that I...

  16. My Gpa Is Low What Are My Options

    sdmommie replied to leneilia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check around. Many schools are only concerned with your GPA for the prereqs they require. You just have to do really well in those

  17. How do you make ends meet??

    sdmommie replied to bckthuzs1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely would suggest filling out a financial aid form (FAFSA). I didn't qualify for any grants or loans because of our income, surprisingly. However, I did get a waiver that pays for the...

  18. online school for associate degree

    sdmommie replied to allexx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you're willing to move to San Diego, Grossmont College offers an evening/weekend

  19. Is your house a mess?

    sdmommie replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ummm...Yes. Not gross dirty, just messy. I, too, have a 4 and 1 yr old and a husband. Vacuum, mop, and bathrooms once a week. Throw out stuff before it piles up, light and dark load every day,...

  20. prenursing student new here

    sdmommie replied to chrissy27ny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 34 and just finished my prerequisites. Don't be afraid, just keep up with the material. Ask questions during your instructor's office hours, in fact, go to office hours as much as you can. I...

  21. Need a help~ This is confusing.

    sdmommie replied to deelight5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think they mean you need to take 30 credit hours at THAT university as part of your plan. Most schools require a minimum amount of credits to be taked at their school before they grant you a...
