  1. To Do: Over Summer Vacation

    Sand_Dollar replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    Hey there Mi Vida Loca! We moved from WA to CO as well - small world isn't it?! I love CO too, but we are thinking of moving back to WA once I finish school. I think I will miss the CO sun and heat...

  2. To Do: Over Summer Vacation

    Sand_Dollar replied to Tara:)'s topic in General Students

    I am finished my A.S. on May 9th. I happen to be out of state from my home, so I can actually relax once the semester is over. I'm going to play some computer games, start outlining my patho and...

  4. How are you celebrating the end of Spring finals?

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

    I have two things planned. They may seem strange, but they are totally 'me' 1) I bought myself Halo 2 for my PC. I just bought a new laptop so can run it now and its been a long time since I've played...

  5. A&P, Micro....OH MY!!

    Sand_Dollar replied to naenae1979's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I took AP2 (w/lab), Micro (w/lab) and General Psych, all online last summer. AP2 took the most time, with a huge amount of time devoted to lab write-ups. Micro is still my favorite class and it was...

  6. Crazy Load?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Tara:)'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the majority, I think you need to slim that down. I took AP2, Micro and psych together last summer and it was all I did. 18 hour AP lab write-ups were not an exaggeration. I just finished...

  7. Textbook w/CD for CCCOnline Science Classes necessary?

    Sand_Dollar replied to orchid09's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Orchid09, :) I've never had any CDs with my Bio books and only ever had one, with stats (which was useless). However, I did purchase the CD A&P Revealed separately and it was great. I saw it...

  8. Organic chemistry anybody?

    Sand_Dollar replied to j450n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking BioChem this fall. I am glad to hear it's not too bad. I'm going to be rereading my Chem book this summer to refresh my memory. Good luck with your class

  9. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    Sand_Dollar replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    I use the diva cup and LOVE it!! I have never had a leak, and I have been using it for about 5 years now. I don't have to wear anything with it, but don't have an unusually heavy flow

  10. Online Microbiology course.....?

    Sand_Dollar replied to paulaking1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    wendyfairhope - Your schedule is your own. Things like discussions and tests open and close between certain days, but it's up to you when to get it done. The classes vary, but I find in a traditional...

  11. Online Microbiology course.....?

    Sand_Dollar replied to paulaking1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    wendyfairhope - Don't worry about being new to online classes, although I don't know the format of rrcc classes, online classes are great. Of course you can occassionally get bad teachers, but you get...

  12. Online Microbiology course.....?

    Sand_Dollar replied to paulaking1978's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CCCOnline stands for Colorado Community Colleges online. It's a group of community colleges around the state that have come together to offer a unified online presence. If you are out of state, you go...

  13. Chemistry online--good or bad idea?

    Sand_Dollar replied to DenRN71's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Orchid09, If you can find answers yourself on how to do something, you should be fine. I took algebra last semester and had a witch of a time, it was the worst class for me, ever. I hadn't had...

  14. Chemistry online--good or bad idea?

    Sand_Dollar replied to DenRN71's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm with you limeade. I'm taking stats online too and feel the same way - the text is very helpful during exams! Our exams are 4 hours long, are yours? Having the text available during an exam is...

  15. Statistics Class PLEASE HELP

    Sand_Dollar replied to KeavenKE's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm taking it through ccconline right now. I should think you'd have no problem finding an online stats course in your state through a community

  16. Nursing prerequisites and online/clep science classes

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

    I could CLEP out a few classes, but the U I was looking at would only give me the equivalent of a C grade for them. No thanks, I like my GPA where it's at. Check first what they will give you for...

  17. Math Online?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Katie1971's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took college algebra online and I'm currently taking stats. In my algebra class, the teacher was useless. I hadn't taken any math in 20 years and it required a lot of extra work finding videos and...

  18. High School Student who needs advice :)

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

    My daughter is a Junior and started taking her pre-reqs for nursing school this semester. She had to take the placement test and get into the necessary classes (remedial classes were not good enough)...

  19. Chemistry online--good or bad idea?

    Sand_Dollar replied to DenRN71's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Limeade, I did it last spring. It was great! I liked the labs and it wasn't hard at all compared to AP1 that I was taking at the same time. You get to take a practice test as many times as you want...

  20. tips for online classes....

    Sand_Dollar replied to mmh2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking 6 classes online right now (logic, music appreciation, sociology, stats, western civ and communications) and I can do it because I'm organized (and a bit of an over achiever! lol). I have a...

  21. Competitiveness of Regis,where else should I apply

    Sand_Dollar replied to IphyGirl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi IphyGirl, I got rejected from CU too. My next step is to apply to UNC next spring. You may want to consider talking to them as well because they also have a second degree program. I was told for...

  22. CU Nursing

    Sand_Dollar replied to Jennacoh's topic in Colorado Nursing

    IphyGirl - Welcome to allnurses!! you should look through the thread "anyone apply to CU for 2010?", it has about 35+ pages of responses. Towards the end people who both got in or denied shared their...

  23. anyone applying to CU for 2010?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Orchid09... I forgot to tell you my stats like I promised. I have no previous degree. I have a 4.0 in my pre-reqs. However, 20 years ago I had a less than stellar GPA because of one devastating...

  24. Flash Card Machine

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

    I use studystack because I can use an app on my iphone that lets me download them and study on the

  25. Experiences Taking A&P Online?

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

    I took AP 1 & 2 online through ccconline and I loved it. You purchase a lab kit and do everything at home, including a pig dissection. They were definitely challenging classes and the lab reports...
