  1. Getting Ready for Micro

    penelopelp replied to unmarooned's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to look into a book that would provide you with a refresher. I did that with Algebra once because I needed to know it for my teaching certification. It had been 10 years, so I bought a...

  2. Indecisive about which path to choose

    penelopelp replied to Healer_at_Heart18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that's a great idea. I'm in a similar situation. I have to work full-time, don't have much money, but I want to go to NS in the future. So, I'm taking a pre-req online and going in once a week...

  3. Scared

    penelopelp replied to Snowii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty scared, too. I'm scared of taking the pre-reqs, of course, but I've also had the thought, "What is I screw up as a nurse?" Seriously, the stakes are so high. I can get kind of absent-minded...

  4. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    penelopelp replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I could, I definitely wouldn't work during nursing school. I had a friend who was a nursing major, and she was busy every day/all day without having a job. I don't see how I could possibly not work...

  5. Retake Pre-req, vey concern BCC

    penelopelp replied to KdnRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you get forgiveness on any of your classes? When I was at FSU, they allowed you to retake 2 classes and then you could drop the low grade. The low grade stayed on your transcripts, but didn't...

  6. Chemistry Fall 2008

    penelopelp replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CracklinRose, Thank you so much for that posting! All of that applies to me. I am dreading this class so much. I need to work on my attitude! The other thing I need to work on is Algebra. I'm in need...

  7. Cnm?

    penelopelp replied to thinkinboutit's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you get bumped up earlier! I think you will. I have a good year before I'll be ready to petition for

  8. Online Classes

    penelopelp replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've just signed up for a second online class--Developmental Psychology. I looked up both professors on ratemyprofessor.com, and they both have excellent reviews. So, I'm feeling

  9. Chemistry Fall 2008

    penelopelp replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're certainly not alone. Chemistry seems like some kind of big magical mystery to me. I think it is hard for me to understand because everything involved is so microscopic. I can't visualize what...

  10. Is it too late for me?

    penelopelp replied to Kimba819's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say that we should listen to the naysayers. Today, I was telling my grandmother about all the classes I needed to take. She said, maybe you should forget this--you aren't getting any younger. Huh???...

  11. Confused about state residency...

    penelopelp replied to livewell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went through this when I was going to college in Florida. You need to make sure that you get your tag, voter ID, driver's license, etc., for the state that you want to be considered a "resident." I...

  12. Chemistry Fall 2008

    penelopelp replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't care if my teacher is super, super hard, as long as they can teach chemistry. I would love to actually understand that class. When I was in high school, my teacher sat at his desk and read the...

  13. How many programs/schools are you applying to?

    penelopelp replied to hmpark's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will apply to 2 schools. My local university has an accelerated 2nd degree BSN program, but it is very competitive. They are looking for "diversity" not just grades. I will also apply at my cc for...

  14. Health Unit Coordinator or pre-reqs?

    penelopelp posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am at a loss as to what I should take this fall. I am just starting out on my pre-nursing classes. I only need to take sciences, because I already have a B.A. To make matters more complicated, I am...

  15. Health Unit Coordinator or pre-reqs?

    penelopelp replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I still may be able to take the HUC course. My bf may loan me the $$ for the class. I would really like to do this because I want to be able to get a job at the hospital and get started on this...

  16. Online Classes

    penelopelp replied to pristock230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm signed up for an online chemistry course, and I'm pretty nervous. I may even change my mind and take it on campus. I'm good at teaching myself a lot of things, but I've never done well at...

  17. Chemistry Fall 2008

    penelopelp replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for this thread. I'm signed up for Introduction to Chemistry (online course!) and the lab. This is my first online course and my first pre-req at this cc. I took chemistry my first time in...

  18. Health Unit Coordinator or pre-reqs?

    penelopelp replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in NM. Believe it or not, the cc in my area charges $0/credit hour for tech courses if you are in-state. The $167 is a fee for the course. That covers scrubs, parking at the hospital, ID,...

  19. Health Unit Coordinator or pre-reqs?

    penelopelp replied to penelopelp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you. It looks like the course is going to cost me more like $2200, which is sounding like an impossible amount. I'm a little frustrated, but I knew this was going to be an issue when I

  20. Is it too late for me?

    penelopelp replied to Kimba819's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can definitely do it! My first time in college, I didn't do so well. I tried pre-nursing for one semester, but I made an F in pre-calculus, a D in chemistry, and a C in A & P. At that time, I...

  21. New Pre-Nursing Student

    penelopelp replied to cc33702's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi! I'm in a similar place. I have a BA in English, and a BS in English Ed. I'm starting at my cc in the fall with pre-reqs. I will only be able to take one or two at a time, so this might take me...

  22. Indian Culture and Health Care Go Hand In Hand

    penelopelp replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your article. This was very well-written and

  23. How many prereq courses are you taking?

    penelopelp replied to scoobysnax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm thinking about taking the Health Unit Coordinator classes this Fall, and then I will start on pre-reqs in the Spring. I don't have a job right now, and I thought the HUC classes would at least get...

  24. I think we need a second degree student section...

    penelopelp replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so happy that I found this thread. I am considering nursing as a 3rd degree. I have worked as an English teacher for the past 5 years, and have completely burned out on that job. I was always...
