    NCC - Pre-req question

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I took chemistry long ago and it has expired - so I was planning on retaking it this fall. Or I can jump right into A&P 1 & 2 and retake chemistry before applying. This way I think I'll...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thanks! I saw that Charter Oak now has an agreement with NCC for the BSN. And I got my bachelors from SNHU which I've seen a few people post about. Anywhere else you might recommend? Planning ahead...

    3rdgenRN2B replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Thank you! I'll look into Chegg. One of the components for my chem class I already tried to look up and it looks like it was developed by a professor at my community college specifically for that...

    Anyone else?

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone else moving forward with this having no idea what they will do for work if they get accepted? I'm a non-traditional student with a family and hoping, if I get accepted to nursing school, to...

    Thank you! My husband is just starting a job with shift work, and will be able to pick up OT by the time I would start clinicals. Hadn’t really even considered that. It would be tough but also not...

    How far is too far for pre-reqs?

    3rdgenRN2B posted a topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I'm down by NCC but am registered for pre-reqs at NVCC. Looks like it will take me a good 52 minutes to get to NVCC from where I am, but that's the only place offering chemistry that works with my...

    Thank you. I"m in retail management right now... so I guess as I get closer and actually attending nursing school becomes a sure thing, I could take my local CNA course? I would not be able to do my...

    Hey all. I have to retake Chem before applying to a cc nursing program but here's my conundrum. I was hoping Chem would be offered at one of the two schools near me on Sundays as it has been in the...

    Retaking pre-requisite courses affect chances getting into UTHSC-SON?

    3rdgenRN2B replied to veganbunny's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think if you're retaking pre-reqs to improve your GPA...I can't really see how that would affect you negatively. If anything it shows how badly you want this. Think of it this way -- low grades...

    Should I continue to further my education of becoming a nurse or just pick another major??

    3rdgenRN2B replied to hamolady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're the one who has to do the job, not all those nay-Sayers. I know it's hard to turn a deaf ear to the negativity - I've let others opinions guide me now for about 10 years - but I've come to...
