  1. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    Okay, so I knew this was coming... but it still pissed me off. Got a letter from one of the BSN programs I applied to, it was a rejection. They said that my 6 credit CLEP exam for History did not meet...

  2. Microbiology :(

    phoenixfire replied to jess17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro (for me) is more concept than detail. If I can grasp the overall concepts, the details come easier. Some teachers are more strict than others, mine made us memorize the life cycles of 5...

  3. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    Just saw a notice today that my school will be posting the rank listing on their webpage by NOV 1st! So, now I'm counting down the days..... 25 days and

  4. Thinking about switching majors. So discouraged.

    phoenixfire replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Think of it this way: almost all of the prereqs are weed out courses, to see who has the tenacity to stick it out. I'm in Micro right now myself, and if my teacher was any tighter, he wouldn't be able...

  5. How many of you have study system in place?

    phoenixfire replied to wannabenursetx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a system, of sorts, but I dont know how well it would work for anyone else, because I'm sort of anal retentive about my grades. First, I skim the chapter, and highlight things I think will be...

  6. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    I found my school's point system by snooping around. I got my hands on a copy of the ADN program handbook, and it had a section in there about how the points were calculated. Your prerequisite GPA x4...

  7. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    I thought the same thing, that if I sent my application in early, they would look at it first. Then my bubble was burst when my Pharm teacher told me that they don't even start going through the...

  8. Microbiology club Fall 2007

    phoenixfire replied to Polska's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in! Just started Micro a few weeks ago, and have my first test tommorrow! We are using a book by Robert Bauman, and I am desperately trying to find my CD! I know it was here.... .... losing my...

  9. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    Whew! The last of my applications went out today. The lady who interviewed me looked at my application and said I have nothing to worry about, however, I will continue to worry until I get my letter...

  10. BSN Last Minute Prereq's & How I almost got Screwed...

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

    Just another update: I got my petitions back in the mail from the school that I had on my list (the one that canceled my Patho class and wanted all the extra classes). The four classes that the...

  11. BSN Last Minute Prereq's & How I almost got Screwed...

    phoenixfire posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, so I was all pumped up about having my BSN prereq's done. The only thing I had left (so I thought) was the NET Test and the new AP test that goes along with it. So here I am, happily typing...

  12. For all of us who are sweating bullets waiting on acceptance/rejection letters...

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

    Just got an email from one of the schools I applied to.. got all excited... almost didn't open it... only to find out they wanted to know if I took statistics for my other degree! AAHHHHH! And I...

  13. BSN Last Minute Prereq's & How I almost got Screwed...

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

    Okay, here's an update: I got a phone call today from the NS I wanted to get into, and was notified that the Patho class I registered and paid for two months ago has been canceled! The lady gave me a...

  14. I'm probably taking Chem + A&P fall semester!

    phoenixfire replied to browsing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that taking A&P and Chem is crazy at all. I did it in the Spring, and I thought that the two bounced off of each other quite a bit. For example, when my AP professor started talking...

  15. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    phoenixfire replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Well, my story isn't nearly as interesting as most here, but I'll post it anyway. My mom kicked me out of the house when I was 15. I dropped out of high school, then later went back and graduated on...

  16. Uh-oh. Tempted to change my major...

    phoenixfire replied to December716's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    phoenixfire replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying for Spring 2008 at: Panola College (ADN) Kilgore College (ADN) Stephen F. Austin University (BSN) University of Texas (BSN) Hopefully, I will get at least one acceptance letter out of...

  18. Anyone trying for a 2nd degree?

    phoenixfire replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a BS in Public Administration, and my Associates in General Studies, and I had to go back to school to complete all the science prereqs, so hopefully I will be able to get in. I think I'd be...

  19. Pharmacology

    phoenixfire replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My Pharmacology is all online, except for proctored test, but I just found out that the Pharm class at my junior college may not transfer to the University Nursing program I'm applying to. I'm going...

  20. A&P II Club, 2007

    phoenixfire replied to CuriousMe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished taking AP II over the summer (a 4 week course) and I only came out with a B. I thought I had an A for sure, but it turns out that the professor only puts a portion of your extra credit...

  21. Pharamcology and patho...

    phoenixfire replied to SparklyGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking both, totally online, in the fall. Patho is offered online through Stephen F Austin University (BSN Program) in Nacogdoches, TX. The pharm I am taking through Panola College, in Carthage...

  22. Pharmacology

    phoenixfire replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Pharm, Patho, Micro, & TX Govt in the fall, and I've already browsed through all of my books. The first few chapters go over things like cells and how they work, etc. It shouldn't be...

  23. started at University of Poenix almost 3 years ago.

    phoenixfire replied to Tomskatt's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I finished my Associates in General Studies, and my Bachelor's in Public Administration with UOP, and I had very few if any problems. Because Stephen F. Austin University (in Texas) accepted all my...

    phoenixfire replied to DigitalWanksta's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! Im currently in A&P I, and so far am not doing as well as I would have hoped. Surprisingly, I am doing very well in Chemistry, which is where I thought I would have had problems. Right now we...
