  1. Is anyone commuting really far away?

    Sand_Dollar replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    I'll be starting my 45 minute, one-way drive to the University campus this January. I'm in Colorado, so snow will be expected, especially in January. I'm not worried about it since I grew up in...

  2. Pre req. english class

    Sand_Dollar replied to Jessjaz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is considered plagiarism in my school. I would not risk my grade, let alone expulsion to see if I could pull it

  3. My Accuplacer Scores

    Sand_Dollar replied to frogger32091's topic in General Students

    My daughter had to take the accuplacer to get into her Algebra class. I bought her a subscription (about 30/month) to the website yourteacher.com I don't normally pay for sites, but they have videos,...

  4. Sharing your survival tips--How do you prepare each semester?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I clean my desk, making sure my supplies are well stocked and it's nice and organized. I also label a binder for each class, make sure it has dividers, and make a corresponding folder on my computer...

  5. Out of highschool,technical school,or community college?

    Sand_Dollar replied to ybag66's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can also decide which BSN program you want to get into, look at their pre-reqs and take as many of them as you can at a community college to save money. All the Universities around me recommend...

  6. Advice on how to beat procrastination.

    Sand_Dollar replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to procrastinate horribly, and admittedly still do from time to time, but nothing like I used to. I found being organized gets me through it. When I was taking 18 credits I couldn't afford to...

  7. Fall 2010 Classes!!

    Sand_Dollar replied to MzRN2B's topic in General Students

    I haven't got accepted yet, but my pre-reqs this semester are Pathophysiology, Biochem and a CNA class. I'm really psyched! And, it's way less credit hours than I'm used to, should be

  8. Least favorite pre-req: Political Science

    Sand_Dollar replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to think Algebra was my least favorite until I took Logic. I absolutely hated that class, what a miserable semester.

  9. Is Pre-Nursing considered an Associate's Degree?

    Sand_Dollar replied to asker101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Having taken a set of 'random' classes, like the nursing pre-reqs does not guarantee you an Associates Degree. I knew from the start I wanted to get my BSN and had a list of all the classes the...

  10. Scholarships

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sjsmith92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are a Phi Theta Kappa Member, which is an honor society from 2 year Community Colleges, they offer scholarships as well. I have been offered a $500 per semester (1000/yr) scholarship at the...

  11. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    Sand_Dollar replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I haven't gotten accepted to the Nursing Program yet (just the University as a transfer), but grades definitely matter to me because of finances. I have already been offered some scholarships by the...

  13. What type of RN do you wanna be?

    Sand_Dollar replied to reeta116's topic in General Students

    Right now (haven't started NS yet) I'm thinking Trauma, ICU or Cardiac CCU. It's all open ended right now, I'm not ruling anything out at this point.... you never

  14. ebooks vs text books

    Sand_Dollar replied to itsmejuli's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I hate ebooks to be honest. I took a bunch of gen ed classes that only offered the ebook, and I would always end up printing them out. Personally, I would go with text books, especially for NS...

  15. Statistics online?

    Sand_Dollar replied to coleVT10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly what it is coleVT10. As long as you can figure out what formula to use then you'll do great.

  16. Microbiology and A&P 2 online?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I studied from the textbook, publisher quizzes and lab reports. I just glanced over the lecture notes because they just summarized the text anyway. Some people can't learn from studying on their own...

  19. College Algebra or Equivalent?

    Sand_Dollar replied to *Muffin*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take college algebra and stats. I tested into the college algebra class, but had no idea how I did it, it had been 20 years since I took any sort of math. I took the class online and was...

  20. Microbiology and A&P 2 online?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Highschoolfuturenurs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both classes online through ccconline. You purchase a labpaq which includes everything for you to do the labs safely in your home (including specimens, goggles, test tubes, etc). I got A's in...

  21. Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology II online?

    Sand_Dollar replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    It all depends on the school and their online curriculum. Through ccconline, you have to purchase a labpaq which you do at home. In micro, my labs included differential staining, Methyl Red tests,...

  22. Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology II online?

    Sand_Dollar replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    ccconline classes in the fall won't be over until mid December, and Summer semester has already started, sorry. If you still want to take them, check they are accepted by your school. Since the parent...

  23. Summer break....

    Sand_Dollar replied to ShantheRN's topic in General Students

    When summer break started for me, I couldn't help but open my fall books. But, it's been over a month now and I put them away so I can truly relax. It is so nice not to have to get anything done, I'm...

    Sand_Dollar replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

  25. Denver CNA training

    Sand_Dollar replied to sourapril's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It is 3 days a week from 9-2 for about a month, with one week (I think 3 more days too) of clinicals, but we don't know when until we get the class. They offer other schedules as well. You have to dig...
