  1. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am more than happy to help, I know how confusing things can get. It doesn't help that student services has a policy against sitting down with prospective nursing students and going over their stuff...

  2. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    1st Semester: NUR 111 NUR 150 PSY 201 HLT 141 2nd Semester: NUR 180 NUR 201 PSY 202 HLT 250 3rd Semester: NUR 221 HUM-3 credit electing (many people take PHI 227) SPD-3 credit elective 4th Semester:...

  3. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Trust me, you don't start your second semester as a senior. You must complete your core NUR classes during their designated semester (NUR 111, 180, 201, 221, and 222). All non-NUR classes can be taken...

  4. NOVA Accelerated/Traditional program ???

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That was me who took CHM 101 and it was because I didn't take it in high school. The same rule applies for Biology, which I did take in high school. You have to have taken it in high school and passed...

  5. Anybody applying to NVCC Fall 09?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    The cut off is 2.5 but as the above poster said, there are a few different ways that they rank people. Everything is posted on the website and in the information session....

  6. NVCC Accelerated Classes/Semesters

    Cilantrophobe replied to jane87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am sorry but that pretty much sounds impossible. NUR 111, 150, 180, and 201 all during summer semester? That is 18 credits in 12 weeks. I know you said you did your research but that is highly...

  7. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

    Cilantrophobe replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

    You have to realize that you may not actually start the nursing program until your child is almost in kindergarten anyways. It took me 2 years from start to finish to get into the nursing program, but...

  8. Does your school do this?

    Cilantrophobe replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Students

    I don't understand the problem. Graduate, go to work for 2-3 years, have some kids and after 2-3 years (or more) have passed and you have had your kids, go back to school for midwifery. It doesn't...

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

    Cilantrophobe replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia Nursing

    We didn't have any labs on Mondays (lecture day), and that is exactly what I would have

  10. A plea to all nurse mentors/instructors

    Cilantrophobe replied to Angie1011's topic in General Students

    Totally understood Silverdragon. I just don't like it when people come here to vent and others find a way to make the 'venter' the guilty one, or put all the blame or responsibility in their hands....

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

    Cilantrophobe replied to Readyforthenextstep's topic in Virginia Nursing

    No, that is not realistic. We have class on Monday from 1 till 6:30 pm. Then you have lab once a week, plus your clinical day. During the first or second semester you have to take NUR 150, but that...

  12. Why do people try to discourage you? :(

    Cilantrophobe replied to drinkmoresoup's topic in General Students

    Sounds like you need to spend less time talking with those particular individuals about your journey. If they cannot give you proper support then simply do not talk to them about school. Try to find...

  13. A plea to all nurse mentors/instructors

    Cilantrophobe replied to Angie1011's topic in General Students

    I have to butt in here. Daytonite, can a girl vent without having you analyze and question her every statement? I realize there are many people who complain about something while never doing anything...

  14. Nursing School: Did you GAIN or LOSE weight?

    Cilantrophobe replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently trying to overhaul my eating lifestyle for the rest of the summer and keep up on my daily vigorous walks. I gained 10 lbs last fall because I was eating Oreos every night, and now I...

    That is very true, the young and childless are few and far between at my

  16. Approved Checklist-NVCC!!!!!!!!

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I am so flippin' excited. I got my checklist back today and it was approved so now the only thing I have to do is apply to the program. I guess it isn't the only thing I have to do considering I still...

  17. teas test at NVCC

    Cilantrophobe replied to tcs26's topic in Virginia Nursing

    OK, now I need a little clarification. So are you saying you had one practice exam (that didn't count) as well as one real one, for a total of 2 during the first

  18. Parents at Orientation

    Cilantrophobe replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

    I agree with this statement and would like to add that this also applies to people who assume your parent is overbearing or smothering. I am a little disgusted with some of the judgments that have...

  19. what health insurance?

    Here is the list of Student Accident and Health Insurance Providers, provided to us by our school. www.studentresources.com www.ejsmith.com www.src-ncua.com www.nationalinsurancestore.com...

  20. Vent - Uniforms!!

    Cilantrophobe replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    That does sound crappy, I feel your pain. We are very lucky to have hunter green Cherokee Workwear pants and a white scrub top with a white lab coat, love it. Just remember, when you graduate you can...

  21. To the girl who texted all during the math final...

    Cilantrophobe replied to greeniebean's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To all the people at orientation who asked the bookstore manager to repeat herself 10 times, I hope for your sanity and mine that you learn to listen the first time. To the nursing department, I hope...

  22. NVCC-NUR Enrollment question

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I took a look at the Fall schedule for NUR 111 and saw the expected LEC, CLN, and LAB sections but was curious what DIS was. I noticed most of the lectures are scheduled from 1-4:25 on Monday and that...

  23. NVCC-NUR Enrollment question

    Cilantrophobe replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Thank you but most day care centers in this area open at 6:30 (including ours) which is why I would need a morning sitter. If my clinical instructor requires us to be there at 6:30 (and some do) I...

  24. BLS Card

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I didn't realize that I was supposed to sign my BLS card until after I laminated it. Does anybody know if it is a problem to have an unsigned card? I can easily order a new for for $10 but I would...

  25. Didn't sign BLS card before laminating

    Cilantrophobe posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you think this will present a problem for me? Does anybody ever actually check to see that you signed your card? I can easily order a new one for $10 but I would like to avoid that if
