  1. Best book about nursing careers?

    modelmama07 replied to nurturer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There was a book I recieved in my first semester of college when I was intending to go through a BSN program. It was by Pfizer, it was on Nursing and different careers. It was very informative, and I...

  2. Are you almost there? Number of classes left?

    modelmama07 replied to mellb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think only the Brookhaven program requires that for a pre-req. That's why there is only two. This is my last semester of pre-reqs, I hope to start nursing school in the fall. I have Micro, A&P...

  3. best order to take pre-reqs

    modelmama07 replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I would do them in this order: Nutrition- Summer Chemistry- Fall Then: Anatomy (structure) Physiology (function) Micro If your taking it slow I would take it in this order. I hope to be...

  4. Previous health care experience

    modelmama07 replied to stormee94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the best thing for you to do is ask if your experience matters or not. I volunteer myself at a hospital and I truly enjoy it, but just because I do doesn't matter at the school I applied to. I...

  5. Previous health care experience

    modelmama07 replied to stormee94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah it is nice to know, but it doesn't give you a shoe in into a school. They may take comfort in knowing, but unless your going into a transition program, most schools want to know and see what your...

  6. Do Cheaters Annoy You?

    modelmama07 replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree! It is a scary situation, considering they are okay with "just getting by" or doing "whatever means

  7. Previous health care experience

    modelmama07 replied to stormee94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your best bet is to rely on your GPA. Most programs do not even acknowledge previous health care experience unless you are doing a bridging program and you are already a licsenced nurse (LVN to RN, RN...

  8. Any programs with no waitlists?

    modelmama07 replied to RNJimFromMI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $330 a credit hour? That can get pricey for an ADN prgram. DCCCD (Dallas County) is $115 an hour for out-of-state students, but you really only have to pay that for a

  9. A real gift

    modelmama07 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I think it would, but I think more for older students because some of immunizations weren't required or strongly recommended. I'm a younger student so I got all of those immunizations as a kid....

  10. Any programs with no waitlists?

    modelmama07 replied to RNJimFromMI's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. The El Centro College ADN Program does not have a waiting list. 100 students are selected each semester, 50 at the El Centro campus and 50 at the Northlake campus. Your entry into the program...

  11. Career Change- Many Many Questions

    modelmama07 replied to jistravel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry about your job loss!!! That's terrible. I hope to be of some help. Since you have been out of school for ten years, you will maybe have to take some mathematics over that are preqs from certain...

  12. Future Fall '08 El Centro/North Lake Students

    modelmama07 replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Who do you have for Micro & A&P II, do you attend El Centro currently? Good luck to everyone, hope we all get

  13. A real gift

    modelmama07 replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's great!! Truly a blessing! Best of luck to you, did you apply to Brookhaven

  14. confused about pre reqs

    modelmama07 replied to scotch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well that may be the case, and all your "pre-req" classes may be incorporated into the curriculum in the program. Sometimes LVN programs have different requirements than RN programs also. Yet there...

  15. A&P II and Microbio at the same time...need advice please!

    modelmama07 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well good deal!! I think you made the right choice! Good luck to you and all your future endeavors!!! Keep us posted as to how it

  16. Of all the pre-req's you've taken which was hardest

    modelmama07 replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would have to say Micro. A&P came rather easy to me, I guess because I was totally fasicinated with it. I like Micro too, but boy is it a

  17. Has anyone taking AP I and AP II in same semester

    modelmama07 replied to Piglet68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend not doing that. A&P II builds on important concepts learned in A&P I. You will not fully understand the concepts in A&P II if you take both at the same time. A&P I is...

  18. Micro

    modelmama07 replied to Leomom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think Micro is a lot harder than A&P II. A&P II is predictable to me considering it builds upon a lot of concepts in A&P I. I'm acing both right now but Micro is doing it job! LOL...

  19. What classes should I take for the first session of the summer 2008?

    modelmama07 replied to khuship's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I'm still somewhat lost as to what your are trying to as far as the way the sessions work, but if I were you I would take psychology, english, and maybe speech, if that is what pre-reqs are...

  20. What classes should I take for the first session of the summer 2008?

    modelmama07 replied to khuship's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And what type of sessions? What are the sessions,

  21. A&P II and Microbio at the same time...need advice please!

    modelmama07 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not knocking your C+ in A&P, but by telling her to go for it, considering you didn't make A's in both in a full semester, is kind of unsettling don't ya think? :uhoh21: Once again, I say do...

  22. What is an ASN??? And has any heard anything about Herzing University??

    modelmama07 replied to courtneyanne1983's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that is somewhat outrageous. My program is running about 7k. I plan on going to CRNA in the future and 35k is about what I would closely expect to pay, maybe even a little higher. Usually an...

  23. A&P II and Microbio at the same time...need advice please!

    modelmama07 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would tell her to go for it, if it was a full 16-week semester but this and 8-week semester, I just don't think its smart, plus she works full time. I myself, and taking both currently and getting...

  24. A&P II and Microbio at the same time...need advice please!

    modelmama07 replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow...8-week courses, plus you work. Not to put your goal down but don't kill yourself. Seriously...I am taking Micro and A&P 2 currentl along with another class and it is tough work. I'm doing...

  25. Az Nclex® Results

    modelmama07 replied to Crew2Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems to be a pretty good pass rate. Its not bad and its is above average, so I think your good. The percentage is the amount of students who pass the NCLEX the first time out of the class (2006)....
