  1. talk to me about your algebra class

    Sand_Dollar replied to The Bell Jar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did my college algebra class online via ccconline and we were allowed two attempts at the exams and everything is open book. They were (if I remember right) 25 questions and 4 hours long, each. I...

  2. Anyone do a CNA program in the summer?

    Sand_Dollar replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    ada324 - I am going to take it at FRCC, Westminster. It is relatively close to me (30 min), has one of the higher pass rates (86%), and is not that expensive (about

  3. Anyone do a CNA program in the summer?

    Sand_Dollar replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I will do the same thing IrishMama... if I don't get into CU, then I'll be taking a CNA class this

  4. Microbiology Totally Online at Ocean County College

    Sand_Dollar replied to Jersey Nursing Girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    shepherdgirl - I have taken ALL my pre-reqs online through ccconline, including Micro, AP, etc. The ones I have taken are guaranteed transfer courses and the state universities in CO have no problem...

  5. PSY101 online summer class

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

    I took Psych 101 online via ccconline through the summer, along with Micro and AP2. Psych was the easiest of the three and required the least amount of focus. If you're taking it by itself, it should...

  6. Horrible in Algebra

    Sand_Dollar replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel your pain - Algebra is EVIL! I recommend a website called yourteacher.com I used it for a lot of my college algebra class. My daughter is using it right now in her HS Algebra 1 and she is...

  7. anyone applying to CU for 2010?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Me too ada324. I think its pretty considerate to keep the students updated. Of course, they could have ulterior motives, they could be doing it to keep the inquiry calls down to a

  8. anyone applying to CU for 2010?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I did. I'm hopeful, but not holding my breath. Thank goodness my last semester for my A.S. begins on Monday, it gives me something to focus on besides this!

  9. Online Microbiology course.....?

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

    ccconline is great! I have taken all my pre-reqs through them and Micro was my favorite class! You definitely need the lab kit if you plan on growing your cultures... that is unless you have some...

  10. Microbiology - Summer 09

    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class starts on June 1st. Its a 10 week long semester and I'm taking it along with A&P II and General Psych. Thought I would start this thread since I know a few others have to be taking it...

  11. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks Dina! I just checked the UNC site and having your CNA is a pre-application requirement. I don't have my CNA yet, I was going to take it this summer. However, I did see that their next...

  12. Challenging Classes

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

    I think AP1 was more difficult than AP2 because of new concepts, but AP2 dealt with more entire 'systems' if that make sense. I still enjoyed both classes and I'm even considering cardiac critical...

  13. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks Sart45!! Anytime now we'll get the email telling us they have processed our applications. I *think* this may be the time they weed out those that don't meet the requirements, like me now. Then...

  14. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi amac71, Yes, I have a 4.0 (from my pre-reqs at least, ugh). I still have some classes to finish this spring, but the hardest class should be stats and don't think it can be any worse than algebra!...

  15. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't know much about the LPN route. I would rather not piecemeal EVERY step of the way, if you know what I mean. lol I had disregarded UNC because of the CNA & additional pre-reqs, but I am...

  16. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am still praying for CU - I am a firm believer in miracles! Regis is just too expensive for me (will have me + 2 or 3 kids in college next fall). UNC, CU-Pueblo and Mesa are too far because my...

  17. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I will look at any other suitable program around the Denver area, but it has to be accredited so I can get my BSN online later. Aims is an hour away for me and I would like something closer, but it's...

  18. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm waiting, but all my excitement has gone the way of the Dodo. When I sent in my CU application they told us to send in every transcript, so I even sent them my Canadian transcript from 20 years...

  21. Livescribe-Enabled Study Guide

    Sand_Dollar replied to blueyesue's topic in General Students

    What a great idea!! Saved to my youtube favorites. I'm putting off getting one of these until I know for certain I got accepted - but I could have so much fun just playing with it in the meantime. I...

  22. Online A&P course recommendations?

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

    I did mine through ccconline. And in case you are wondering it doesn't have a 'virtual lab'. You buy a lab kit and do all the labs at home...just like in class but without a lab partner! I have taken...

  23. anyone applying to CU for 2010?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I haven't found anything new out yet (sigh), but decided to check on parking. I thought I heard there was an insane wait list and thought I would call and get on it. The lady in the office said there...
