Smart move! To those who did well taking both, congratulations. I had a very traumatic experience when attempting these two classes; my micro teacher was, well, like my mother always said, 'if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anything.' Having a great instructor helps, too. Sorry to say I had neither. Am in the process of trying to find a micro class for summer II.

NCTC Does count it against you if you Do not have Chemistry, Algebra, and all the other required pre-req's. At least, this is what they told me when I tried to apply.

6 minutes.

An option for the LVN would be nice, too.

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations!!!!

Hello, Dawn, I am a LVN of over 30 years and am still trying to find a school that will accept me and I am 55 years young:) So glad you are going for it!

HOORAY!!!! Prettieladie, you were sooo supportive of me during my 'season of hell' with Micro this past semester; I'm so happy for you. Unfortunately, I received the 'we regret to inform you' letter also and so I am just about to give up. There really is no help for me but I'm so glad things worked out for you.

WONDERFUL:)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So exciting! Enjoy!!!!!!

I feel so bad for you. But, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and, start over:) You'll look back on this and smile; I promise! This, from someone who's been through it, too, but life does go on:)

I am not replying negatively and I am an A, B, and C student, so I guess you wouldn't want to work with me?:) I have been an LVN for 30 years, and have taught Many RNs how to operate the IV pumps, record the meds in an emergency, etc, so, are you still convinced that I'm Not an over-achiever?

I am so sad that some nurses think less of those who cannot make all A's; have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe, the instructors were not good at what they do? Or, maybe, just maybe, some nursing students do work hard, and, study hard, but still have trouble getting A's? I believe that if your heart is in the right place, you will be a good nurse, a competent nurse and God will give you the wisdom you need, at the moment you need. Just my 2cents:) so please don't be critical or condesending; have a heart for those of us who Do want to be as good as all you straight A students but just aren't! And, it's only your opinion to say that people start to say things like "it's too hard, I can't, etc. I never have.

I've got to chime in here. My situation has Nothing to do with fraud/dishonesty, whatever else you might want to label it. I took classes thru an online university back in the '90s and now, come to find out, 10+ years later, they were a FRAUD!! They were a 'diploma mill' and there is No way I can get an 'official' transcript because They went defunct obviously. So because I can't get the 'official' copy I can't get into any program! Now, tell me what I did that was dishonest? Stupid? Yes, dishonest, no!!

Could it be that you had instructors who were "not teacher material" I did and it has cost me this semester in both APII and micro. I finally dropped micro to try and concentrate on APII and studied for bkfst, lunch, dinner, sleep, etc. and I still ended up making a C so you see, just because you failed this course twice Does not, in my opinion, mean that it's an omen or that you're not supposed to be doing this. Just relax; 21 is such a young age, you'll find the right path. And, if you really want to be a nurse, you will; if not, you'll find something that you really want to do.
