I thought it would be nice to have a 2009 Grad Thread we can share are joys, fears, stories (hippa permitting) Just to relieve the stress. I am a 25 y.o. wife and mother of 3 girls ages 7,5 and 1. I have been in the medical field since 2001, but took...

Wright State doesn't have a waiting list. You just have to have a high enough GPA.This quarter I think it's a 3.3? Good luck! You can check out all of the pre-req's online at http://www.wright.edu

I am a new unit clerk/pct in the maternity building (I was in the 'main' house for 7 years). I am set to take NRP in january... looking for resources to study! thanks!

Thanks for all the info!

I have never taken a 'fully' online class. I have taken classes where the prof's had a lot of online assignments, but never a www class. This next quarter I am taking 1 tradition class (organic chem) so I decided that I would take 2 online classes. S...

Thanks for the responses! I am not looking for 'easy' I just didn't know if because it was 'online' it was going to be more difficult than a regular class. My personal belief is, I am going to NS because I want to be a good nurse, obviously these cl...

We are leading similar lives! Everyone has 'pushed' me to get a career so I've done two short associate degrees, both of which I am STILL paying loans on and NEVER used. (Well for a few short months after school). I have 3 girls almost 8, 5 and 18 mo...

Thanks for the replies! I am hoping this works out if not, I'll just drop and take them regularly.

I am taking organic chem at sinclair for winter and then I'm taking Sociology and a western civ online through sinclair in winter. Hopefully I can get into micro and some other electives that I need in the spring at WSU, if not I'll take micro and so...

When I talked to the adviser last month she said if you have a 3.2 or better your basically 'in'. Also, if your a transfer student if you have more than 30cr/hr at wsu they ONLY look at that GPA. That is what I am banking on to get in. I only have A&...

I think I might have to take organic chem at sinclair. They are only offering the class on mondays, OF COURSE that is one of the days I work 3-11 LOL. I haven't taken my placement test yet. Hopefully the beginning of next week. Things have been crazy...

Well then we'll probably be in the same class!LOL

Sinclairs wait list is over the top! Like 2-3 years. Plus if a H.S. student was tech prep in H.S. they go to top of the list. I waited almost 2.5 years and still had about a 2-3 quarter wait, so I got mad made a bad decision and left, so then I wou...

I am hoping that I place in stats so that I don't have to take extra classes. I am only 25 but I have 3 kids so time is wasting! I have my quarters pretty much planned out, one science per quarter along with the other classes required to apply. I sho...

I am planning to take organic chem in the winter too. I don't know that there is any elective for 2 cr. hrs.? I am planning to take soc 200, stats (if I test into it if not whatever I test into math wise) and chem 102 in the winter. The classes I am...

THANKS! I am planning to take Soc in the winter, I'll definitely look for that prof. I am a PCT/HUC, I just went from a demanding unit to a more laid back unit. I am only 16 hours/week so it's only every other monday, weekend and friday. I don't thin...

I am a none traditional student too! I have an associates in medical office management and also went to sinclair for EMS. I was on the waiting list at sinclair but it was ridiculous so now I am getting ready to start my first quarter at WSU in the wi...

I worked swing shifts as a PCT/PCA/CNA, whatever your facilitate calls them while nursing. I found that night shift is MUCH easier on a nursing mother than day shift was. When I worked nights I was able to sneak away and pump easier than when I worke...

A little background, I am on the 12 plan for a year to degree! LOL I was in a community college, the wait list was awful, I finished 2 other programs waiting to get into the RN program. Then I started LPN school, but after GM announcing the closing o...

Wow! Wishing you all the best for the next few semesters! LOL Yeah, they seem very helpful there, but so did the people at sinclair.

The A&P I took would transfer but it's been to long. Thanks though. Yeah I took Chem 120 at sinclair and LOVED my professor, but the reason I'm not doing the rest of my pre-req's there is that WSU looks at students who have completed pre-req's ...

I don't mean "waste" time there learning, I just feel that I have been in school for 7 years and have yet to complete the degree I was there for, in the first place. I am ready to move on and pursue my career as a nurse. I am taking them at a univ...

The hardest part for me was the Mols and learning all the laws. I HIGHLY, can't stress that enough, HIGHLY recommend picking up a copy of "Chemistry for Dummies" WONDERFUL book, full of tons of helpful info. Good luck.

LOL Thanks. I just don't want to waste time, if I am not able to apply for fall 09 program I will have to wait until spring 2010 program! I don't have enough classes to take to wait! LOL

Sorry to hear this! I've been there before. In one of my other programs I got blamed for being the one talking about people because the girls that actually did were trying to cover their tracks. It was a LONG 18 months. Good luck
