I bought my book used, so there was no CD unfortunately. I did however today pay for the access to the website and started taking the quizzes. Very helpful. What does the CD have on it that the 'pay' website doesn't?

I bought that green Marieb book used, so of course it doesn't come with the access code for the website guide. I was thinking about buying the access. Do you think it's worth the $35?

I am taking A & P 1 now with the Marieb book too. I really dislike that book. To me, it's not organized well, the passages are too wordy (just get to the point), and it can be confusing. What I do as I make my outlines from the chapters, I go o...

I was wondering if anyone has taken this class? I figured it would be a helpful way to prepare for nursing school. If anyone has taken it, was it helpful? Thanks, Lisa NURSE 380 Preparing for a Nursing Career 1 Unit Description: This course...

Great! Thanks for your response! I am registered to take the class for the second 8 week term, starting in March.

Hello, You don't need to be admitted into a nursing program to take this class. It's just a 1 unit class, but I am signing up for it, since anything that will help me prepare for nursing school sounds good to me. Since it's just 1 unit, it's only...

I am trying to plan my schedule for next semester. For the prereqs, this is what I have left to take: A&P (5 units) microchemistry (4 units) maybe another chemistry class (I think I need a second chemistry class to get into Sac State, althoug...

Thanks for all the input! For the person who pointed out that the nursing major is a heavy course load , I am well aware of that and it won't be a problem for me for two reasons: * when I get accepted into a nursing program I will be quitting my job...

I didn't find mole factor conversions too bad, as long as you understand the factor label method.

My chemistry class is so hard it just makes me want to give up on being a nurse! I spend most of the time angry and frustrated as I try to do the homework. I spent at least 20 or more hours a week studying for this 5 unit class (not including the cla...

Great suggestions! Thanks for your repsonse, however I am already doing all the things that you mention. (except I haven't seen a tutor yet) I know all the study tricks, since I've already gone through school one time around and did very well. I'v...

Hello all, I am currently working on getting into nursing school. In my previous career as a hairdresser, it didn't matter that I had tattoos or burgundy hair. I understand that the healthcare field is much more conservative. I can change my hair...

Hello, I am currently working on my preresquisite classes and will be applying to nursing school next year. I thought that nursing jobs were plentiful and there was a shortage of nurses. But as I read this message board I am reading time and time a...

Ok, I just looked at the webpage for the CSUS accelerated program. It appears that the entrance criteria is based on GPA and score on GRE. My grades are very good thus far, so if I can get a high score on the GRE, then maybe I'd have a shot at this ...

I've looked a little bit into that program. Is it the accelerated BSN that you are referring to? If so, my problem with doing an accelerated program is that it doesn't allow you to work part time while going to school. I do still have to work part...

When I was 19 I went to cosmetology school and got a license to do hair. While I worked in that field, I continued on with college and got a bachelor's degree in marketing and worked in that field for 8 years or so doing sales jobs, while still wor...

I do live in the Sacramento, CA region, and my mom works in med-surg at Mercy Hospital. She says they hire new grads all the time. This is starting to worry me, since I'm leaving my current career because the recession has slowed business down so ...

Thanks for the input! I am planning on signing up to volunteer at the hospital, but I can't afford to quit my current non-health care job to work as a CNA or something of that sort.

My mom has been a nurse in CA for 30 years and she works full time, but she only makes $50 per hour.

I know in my area in Northern California, you can't apply to nuring school until all the pre-requisites have been complete, that applies to a ASN or BSN. When in doubt, talk to a counselor for the program that you are interested in. I too have a bach...

Opps! I had a typo of hospital in my title! Sorry! I am currently working on my prerequisites for nursing school. Since I aleady have a bachelor's degree in marketing, I was hoping to get accepted tothe BSN program at Sacramento State. Sac state i...
