Just wondering if anyone of you attended or plan on attending Trinity Valley Community College in Kaufman. I am taking my pre-req's starting this summer and am planning on applying to their weekend program in 2005. Are there students in the weekend ...

Just wondering if anyone here is applying to El Centro or Brookhaven this year? If so, did you take ONLY the pre-reqs or did you take the pre-reqs AND the General Req. classes? Also, does anyone know what the lowest GPA is that they are accepting? ...

He's an awesome teacher! I had him for A & P II. Great Guy...

Yeah, I wish I had thought about taking it over this semester. It's too late to take it before the fall application deadline.... BUT I WON'T GIVE UP. I've waited this long...

TXMOM - thanks for calculating that for me. It DOES make sense to me now. It figures it's a 3.69. I was told they stopped accepting at 3.77 for the last application period. Maybe I will be retaking A & P I.

Hi Everyone. I'll be applying for the fall semester at El Centro also. I'm worried about getting accepted, but I'm sooo ready to quit this job and go to school. The only class I need to get out of the way is Micro. Saved the best for last I gue...

I'm just finishing up my last pre-req for the ADN program and I was wondering if anyone else is applying for next year. I'm also considering the LVN program (just as a backup)- and then transitioning over to the Bridge program. Cheryl

I live in Rowlett. It's really not a bad drive for me, but I'll still ride the bus because the parking is outrageous. It's not FREE. But they will give you a free bus/train pass if you're attending fulltime. I've heard alot of good things about th...

Hey LauraLou, Thanks for the reply. Sorry - I just have a couple or three more questions. Are you working at a hospital or nursing home? Also, what school are you attending? How was your first semester? Thanks again, Cheryl

I was just wondering if there was anyone working as a CNA or PCT here in the Dallas area? What is the pay range? I've alreay checked salary.com, but would like to hear from others actually working in the area. I'm currently working as an accountant...

Hi Kevin I was just wondering if you could tell us how your first semester went? Also, how long did you have to wait to get accepted into the program.

2005 Nurse - That's what I was worried about. I don't have all A's. I have a B in A&P I and a C in College Aglebra. I was thinking they went by your NET score and used your GPA as a tie breaker. I'm also considering the LVN program and then g...

Well, I'm hoping I can get my application in to start in January. I'm still completing my English so I can't apply until that is finished. How hard was it for you to get in? I'm also taking A & P II this summer at Eastfield.

Hi Ned, No, I haven't taken any classes at MV. I have taken most of my classes at Trinity Valley in Terrell. The reason is that they didn't require me to take all the prereq's to the classes since I am tasp exempt. I am so glad you told me about ...

Thanks for the replies. That helps me alot in some decision making. Right now I'm struggling in A&P I to make a B. I've still got time to bring up my grade, but it's not going to be easy. I'm thinking alot of people are in for a rude awaken...

Hi everyone. I'm just about done with my pre-req's and wondering how i'm going to pay for nursing school. I'm married and have 4 boys. I'm going to quit my job in order to attend school during the day. My husband works, but doesn't make enough mo...

Thanks a bunch!!! I really appreciate all the suggestions. And good luck to all of you too!!!!!

How hard is college algebra? I haven't had a math/algebra class in years. I just ordered a fundamentals of algebra book online to refresh my memory.

LauraLou - I haven't had algebra since 1985 either. That is why I was thinking maybe I might need a fundamentals class or something. Really didn't want to do that because I have just enough time to take my pre-req's before the nursing programs begi...

Hello, I'm just starting my pre req's and was wondering what I can do to prepare myself for nursing school? Should I be reading any certain books? Or trying to learn some medical terms etc... Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks

Thanks Cynthiann, Well when I called the school to ask about all the pre-req's that were required for college algebra, (there were about 3) she told me that since I am TASP exempt that I don't have to take the pre-req's. She said that I could try th...

Hello everyone, Just wanted to thank you so much for all the great ideas and input. I think this thread will benefit other soon to be students as well. Thanks again
