    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Welcome to allnurses Ada324! We are in the same boat, you and I. I will definitely be letting everyone know if I got in or not, I hope you do the same. Who knows, we may be in the same

  2. So discouraged

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

    No points that I know of. Just GPA and the essay. The essay of course is marked subjectively and weighted heavily (how much, I don't know). This application period is for summer and the following...

  6. Oh no! Advice please!

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

    I did AP2 and Micro through ccconline.org. They are accredited and offer it in every term. You can even take both of those at the same time. It may be a way to get done way sooner, even if the cost is...

  8. Are you getting a ADN or going straight to BSN ?

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

    I'm going the BSN route for a couple of reasons. Firstly, we have 2-3 year wait lists for CC programs here in CO (I could be done my BSN before even being accepted into an ASN program!). Secondly, I...

    Xtina2010 - can you tell me what you saw at CU? I only saw one lecture room where the info session was and what I could find online, it wasn't a real 'visit' for me. I would love to know more about...

    Sand_Dollar replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did AP I & II online through ccconline. They have them every semester, but they are the entire semester long, not accelerated. All the tests are online and you do the labs at home (no proctors...

    Sand_Dollar replied to shye22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a SAHM who home schooled her two kids before deciding to go back to school myself. I concur with what itsmejuli said, AP and Micro aren't that difficult as long as you take the time to study. I...

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

    Medical Terminology isn't a pre-req to get into my BSN program and I don't have time to take one that's not. But, to try and get a little ahead, I bought Mosby's Flash Cards last year. I put them into...
