I just finished my 3rd quarter at EvCC. Good for you for knowing what you want to do so early in the game! I had a B+ in micro, A in both A&P and A- in cell bio. However, I know a few in the program who had several Bs in their sciences.. From w...

I was just gonna say the same thing... Your goal needs to be directly related to (opposite of) your diagnosis... a coping deficit would require an outcome related to a newfound ability to cope.. or at least heading that way..

Oh..oh OH!! My favorite FAVORITE online lectures are on youtube... campbell teaching is username... Just type in campbellteachingheart and you'll find them. He is SO good. He also has a website where you can order his DVD lectures. When I o...

Hey girls- I have a couple questions.. On my list of things to get before school starts it doesn't say a stethoscope.. any clue why? Also, can you tell me what days your clinicals were first quarter and what the time choices were? I saw the schedu...

Hey Girls- I GOT IN!!! YAY! I just got an acceptance package yesterday. Wahoo!! With it came a very long book list for first quarter.... so I thought I'd start by seeing if either of you were looking to sell your books... I'm not sure if they carr...

Hey there, thanks for the update. So, today I got a letter in the mail. It says "We are happy to inform you that you are an alternate for the Fall 2010 nursing program. Because of the large number of applicants, the application process has been ex...

Oh you're sweet~ I'm trying not to stress about it... but tomorrow it's been 3 weeks!!! Ahh!! Really, I'm either in or I'm not... nothing I can do about it now Nobody in micro is talking... lol, which cracks me up. But last I "heard" nobody had...

Thanks Rachelle! Funny, I think we're both on here at the same time I'm waiting on pins and needles!! Won't be a huge deal if I have to wait until Winter Quarter, but it would be nice to get started! It feels like this has been a loooooonnnggg ti...

Oh yeah, I was wondering how long after the deadline you got the call? Karen Preston said they may not do interviews this quarter... does anyone know why??? (she told a classmate of mine this, not me personally)... Susan

Hi guys- I'm wonderng how school is going? The application deadline was two weeks ago tomorrow and I'm sitting on pins and needles waiting to hear something. I'm not feeling super confident because I was told there were so many applications. I do...

I sure will! And I would love to hear your journey as you go along as well. It would be so beneficial in planning!! I'm so excited!!!

Thank you so much for the information! I was also told by two different advisors that the CNA didn't matter, but am wondering why this past one said they would want to see that I had it. I wonder if with just the massive amount of people applying fo...

I didn't mention that I have no re-takes, so that should help too!

Thanks for the info! I have a 4.0 in all pre-req's and an A in A&P2 right now at Skagit. Can you tell me about your micro teacher? If I can enroll before the class is full, I'll be switching to EvCC Spring quarter. I'm nervous because even tho...

I just applied for Fall 2010 quarter and should hear around the first week of May... Would you be willing to tell me what your GPA was and if you had completed all pre-req's before applying? I was told by the nursing advisor (actually was meeting wit...

I'm not sure where you live or if that will play any part in your choosing, but I've been at Skagit for the past year and was told by one of the biology teachers that the new biology/nursing wing that will open in the fall will have the most state-of...

That's for sure.. no idea. It's frustrating that they keep saying changes are coming, but no information is available. I guess keep plugging along doing the best you can in your pre-req's.

Holy cow, this is very scary news! I will say a prayer for you! Good luck! Susan

I went to a seminar two weeks ago and the new head of the nursing program was speaking. He used to be with EvCC and has now moved to Skagit, so the program changes will be similar to Everett. He said the wait list is now closed and will not continu...

Hey everyone... I have a question about the amount of time you spend during the year in nursing school. I have 3 quarters left of pre-req's and am trying to get an idea of how much time will be spent in school. So.. my questions.. My school doesn't ...

Well that's weird. I wish they'd give more accurate information! I'll be at the school this week and will stop in and ask again. I'm still planning on going to Evt., but if I can get in sooner at Skagit I certainly would be happy about that!

Sorry I can't help with carpooling... I live close to the school already. But, I was wondering about your timing. I met with an advisor about 3 months ago and was told that the waiting list was approximately 2-1/2 years long at that point. I'm won...

My daughter was just on the Peds floor 2 weeks ago. Her nurse removed it by using the fingernail polish remover swabs from the surgical center. She lifted a corner, wiped with the polish, and it just started coming up. She kept wiping as she was l...
