  1. Can anyone tell me about the nova nursing schedule?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I have an update to make. Our lecture is not from 1-6:30 on Mondays. We have to listen to our prerecorded lecture online on our own time before class on Mondays and then on Monday we have what is...

  2. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    Cilantrophobe replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    My first week way extremely uneventful but here it is anyhow... Before I let loose, here is a quick intro to how my nursing program works. There are 168 of us and all of us have class in separate...

  3. I passed Chemistry with a "C", should I retake?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The average GPA for the BSN students here is even higher than that! If I hear how one more person applied to GMU with a 3.8 and got turned down I am going to cry. Although I think the RN to BSN...

  4. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    Cilantrophobe replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    Our first class is on the 24th and we already got our first two weeks worth of reading assignments. Chapters 6,7, and 8 of Harkreader's Fundamentals. I am going to start the reading on Monday (my...

  5. Any '09 Momentum Students Out There?

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I definitely will. I am one of those people that researches everything on the internet. That's why I always laugh at people who come here and ask questions that could be answered by a 2-second Google...

  6. Any '09 Momentum Students Out There?

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    True that, this site is a lifesaver, especially Flames! I wish AllNurses would advertise at our school sometimes. I can't wait till they have our Bb site up and running so that we can access the...

  7. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Oh yeah, we did enrollment back on August 30th, I think it was. But we got our first clinical assignments at orientation. You will probably get your clinical assignments during Spring

  8. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    Cilantrophobe replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    I paid $294 buying the books used/like new on Amazon and the school is selling the package for $489. And to top it off they told us at orientation that you would save about $100 by buying the package...

  9. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    If I were you I wouldn't waste my time or money on those 5 credits worth of filler classes. Especially since it is not required to receive the financial aid. I qualified for $3481 for the 08-09 school...

  10. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Right, but that is not what she said, she said she has to take extra classes to bring her up to full time status, which means she does have classes to take, probably just not enough to put her at full...

  11. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    OK, now wait a minute, that is RIDICULOUS. You need to work the chain of command dear. They are being unreasonable. Who are you talking to? The nursing department or student services? I hope you know...

  12. HELP! Bombed the HESI Entrance Test

    Cilantrophobe replied to alphadog0228's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    It depends on your school, there was a time limit for my test. I have heard several people here on allnurses say that there is not a time limit but that is not always the

  13. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well if you haven't found out already nursing school is a huge financial investment. It seems like we will have to shell out money for stuff throughout the entire program. I am sure it won't compare...

  14. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yes, we start August 24th. I too wanted to do the online accelerated program but now I am happy that things didn't work out the way I wanted them to. God had a much better plan for my family, which...

  15. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    This is probably one of those times when I should keep my opinion to myself but I just ave to say that I think it is really stupid that the non-NUR classes cannot be taken in a self-paced (but no...

  16. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I would double check on that. I had looked into the 2+1 program at one point but decided not to do it. I had been told, as it says in their brochure and in the information session, that you cannot...

  17. NVCC Program Curriculum

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I haven't started the program yet but I'll tell you what I know. The diagnostic test at orientation was so easy you could have laughed, I am not kidding. And it is not a drug dosage calculations test,...

  18. NVCC Fall '09

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Had to start a new thread for more random questions and answers... To the seniors and graduates: Did you have to take a HESI Critical Thinking test? We got an email today from Mrs. V saying that there...

  19. NVCC Fall '09

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    all I did was google it... I didn't know (or care) what it stood for

  20. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Right, and keep in mind that summer is shorter than the Fall and Spring terms. I think the accelerated program is great and I wanted to do it but missed out on it. I think my friend who is in the...

  22. Anybody applying to NVCC Fall 09?

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am getting really excited to apply. Because I had to take CHM 101 this semester I will have to wait till May 11th before I can even turn in my

  23. Can anyone tell me about the nova nursing schedule?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I sure hope so, but kind of doubt it. Our student handbook said that we couldn't take 255 before the third semester and 254 before the 4th

  24. NVCC Fall '09

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I just find it interesting that we take the test the day after school starts, what do they expect us to know. But if you are right and they don't count and they are only for showing us our weaknesses,...

  25. NVCC Fall '09

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Can you give me an idea of the type of question that they ask? Are they even nursing related? I can't imagine that they would be related to anything we haven't learned yet. Are they just common sense...
