  1. FRCC Fall 2016

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I think its pretty competitive, but not as bad as some schools. They only require a GPA of 2.75, Cs in all of your prereqs, and a cumulative score of 75% on your Hesi to apply. But I was told after...

  2. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Satori77 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I was 36 when I started my prereqs, and I am 38 now. Starting an ASN this fall. So I will be 40 when I

  3. Dual BSN

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Students

    I was hoping to talk to others who have gone through a dual BSN while completing their ADN program. The program I was admitted to, a 2 year ADN program, recently changed. Starting this fall, they are...

  5. single mom about to start BSN

    Satori77 replied to LAD2015's topic in General Students

    You're not alone. I am a mother to two kids. Not a single mom, but my husband is a truck driver and gone for weeks or months at a time, then only home for a few days. So though he is financially...

    Satori77 replied to kikyou322's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I start my nursing program in the fall too! Congrats. And this is all great advice, thanks

  7. Best advice I ever got!!!

    Satori77 replied to sgf24's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    This is great advice. I noticed through school I didn't spend a lot of time studying until right before tests, and made easy As. This was not the case when I took A&P I and Micro last fall. I...

  8. Just got into nursing school!

    Satori77 replied to nursingstudent2318's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    I don't have any advice, just wanted to say congrats! I got accepted to a program that starts this fall. I'm nervous, but so

  9. Ppcc nursing program?

    Satori77 replied to Aelise7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm not at PPCC, but I just finished my prereqs and am starting nursing school this fall. It took me two years to complete, but I did it part time. I started with only online classes because of my...

  10. Going Back at 40 years old...

    Satori77 replied to kjkolesar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a non-traditional student myself. I'm 38, married, with 2 kids. I felt weird going back to do my pre-reqs with most students being half my age. But it will be worth it since I will be starting...

  11. Steps to becoming a nicu nurse

    Satori77 replied to maggiefrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a NICU subforum under specialties on here, that might be a better place to ask. I'm also interesting in NICU nursing, and they have been very

  12. A&P 1 or 2 with micro?

    Satori77 replied to kareebear1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did A&P I with Micro last fall and I won't lie, it was difficult. I made sure to take two easy classes with them (Nutrition and medical terminology), because most of my time was spent studying...

  13. Anyone else almost done with pre-reqs FOREVER?!

    Satori77 replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After 2 1/2 years, I finished my prereqs last semester. It felt so good to finally be done. I almost started school twice before that, but things kept coming up. I start nursing school in the fall and...

  14. It was just a matter of time....

    Satori77 replied to Nrsng_is_life's topic in General Students

    What is this, middle school? If they can't act professional at school, how will they do it at clinicals? Or a job? I agree with the rest, just stay out of the drama and focus on your studies. Don't...

  15. Accepted, Now What?

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Students

    Oh, I will! I plan on spending quality time with my kiddos. But I will only be working part time and did want to find something to do while they are off doing other

  16. Accepted, Now What?

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Students

    I've been accepted to the fall 2016 cohort. I am in classes now that I need to finish up. Over the summer I had just planned on working and saving up money since I will not be working while I am in...

  17. Seeking information on BSN programs in Colorado: Pros/Cons

    Satori77 replied to MR1010's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thought this might be good information to pass on for those wanting their BSN. I just got accepted into FRCC nurscollegeing program at the Larimer Campus. Its a community that has had dual BSN options...

  18. The waiting is the hardest part!

    Satori77 replied to cheriya1217's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my acceptance email today! I've been checking every day but its only been a week and a half. I didn't expect to find out this soon. I just can't believe it. I almost didn't even take the Hesi...

  19. The waiting is the hardest part!

    Satori77 replied to cheriya1217's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For those that got acceptance letters already, how long did it take? Were any earlier than expected? We were told acceptance emails would get to us by the end of April (essentially one month after the...

  20. other non traditional students / moms

    Satori77 replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it on Thursday. It was honestly not as bad as I thought it would be. I've been studying since Christmas break. I got some review books for math, chemistry and biology. I was looking up Hesi...

  21. Microbiology and Human Anatomy at the same time?

    Satori77 replied to Nari's topic in General Students

    I took them together last semester (along with 2 other courses) and I admit, it was hard. If I had to do it over, I would have broken them up. But it is doable. It depends on how good you are at...

  22. Hesi A2 biology portion..HELP!

    Satori77 replied to Wellnesswizard MSN-FNP's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I agree, if you don't have the Elsevier Hesi Admission Exam Review, you should get it. You can look for it at your library, or buy it from their website. It was the most helpful resource I used...

  23. Going back to school @ 26

    Satori77 replied to lengland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 38 and just finished my prereqs and applied for next fall. I will be 40 when I finish. I only regret that I didn't do it

  24. The waiting is the hardest part!

    Satori77 replied to cheriya1217's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I literally just applied yesterday (deadline is Monday). I had my prereqs done in the fall, but I waited to take the Hesi entrance exam. I wanted to spend enough time studying. And I didn't want to...

  25. FRCC Admissions

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I did pretty well, better than I thought. My lowest score was math, which is what I figured after taking it. And my GPA is higher than required. I'm feeling good, but I would also like to know average...
