  1. Currently in CCCOnline?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm going to be getting all the pre-reqs I can via CCConline, I am so glad I get that COF deduction or I would have to find some other way to do it. I'm going to be doing micro, pathophysiology and...

  2. Currently in CCCOnline?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I didn't have to go through the financial aid dept, they sent me to the cashier and I signed a promissory note. I split it into 1/4s. So when you sign up you pay a 1/4, then the month it starts and...

  3. Spring 09 Applications

    Sand_Dollar replied to StephanieS321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know with the program I want (MSU), I will be applying in the Spring of 09 for the Fall 2010/Spring 2011 program. They are taking apps 1 1/2 to 2 years in advance. I hope your program isn't like...

  4. ccconline micro

    Sand_Dollar replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi hopefullysoon! You follow the lab procedures that are provided on a CD with the labpac. Then you do up a lab report... pretty easy actually (I was making it harder than the prof wanted), you save...

  5. ccconline micro

    Sand_Dollar replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    No, its not a chat. It's just like this board. There are discussions that you start, reply to and are linked. You can send private email to people, like the teacher or other students if you want. The...

  6. Currently in CCCOnline?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, taking it online is more expensive. I think its about 78.00 per credit to walk in, and 154.25 online (that has the COF taken out already). I just figure the amount I would save in gas and time...

  7. Anyone taking Micro (Bio 204) w/CCConline session 2?

    Sand_Dollar replied to blueelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    How did you find A&P1? Was it hard this way? I'm taking the pre-req for it and I'm nervous about AP. I can't take biochem this way because it doesn't have a lab..

  8. ccconline micro

    Sand_Dollar replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm taking bio (with labs) via ccconline, not micro but I can tell you how it works for me. Everything is online, you can sign up online and everything, you never have to show up at a campus. Bio...

  9. What is the opposition to Universal Healthcare

    Sand_Dollar replied to ChicagoRN2010's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm from Canada, now married and living in the US - been here 11 yrs. My Mom was working here and had to go back because her kidney failed. As soon as we arrived she had her healthcare coverage, which...

  10. The Perils of White Pants

    Sand_Dollar replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    They are a little messy but nothing a nurse can't handle. You just pull it out, dump it in the toilet and if you are in a bathroom with a sink next to it, just rinse it and place it back in, and do...

  11. The Perils of White Pants

    Sand_Dollar replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    Have you considered looking into the Diva Cup or Keeper? I have used one for years and have never had a leak. They hold quite a lot of fluid and all you will have to do it empty it out and go back to...

  12. Cellular Respiration

    Sand_Dollar replied to Luv2helpppl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm on that right now in my Bio 105 class. Its a pre-req for A&P. I guess I'm happy I'm reviewing it now before Micro or anything like that. I'm going to be putting some of these into my notes...

  13. Paper due and clueless about APA style research papers!

    Sand_Dollar replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    I just bought PERRLA this week,because of advice I found here. I am just starting my pre-reqs so it will definitely pay for itself over time. I looked at the video on how it works and was hooked. Now...

  14. Nursing Concepts Tests?

    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I read about people taking the NC tests, but I really don't know what they are. Can someone please tell me where they fit into the student plan? Are they taken while your a nursing student, or as an...

  15. Nursing Concepts Tests?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I know what you mean with housing market. We are going up to MT for 3 years, for a job my hubby will be running and we are just going to keep our house (which is actually 2 hrs north of Pueblo, we...

  16. Nursing Concepts Tests?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I can see Pikes Peak, I'll wave at it for you! I'm in Pueblo (30 min south of CO Springs), and we go up into those mountains often. We have a jeep, so we load up the 2 kids and get nice and personal...

  17. CCConline courses? How do you do exams?

    Sand_Dollar replied to blueelle's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sandiegohopefull, I would love to hear about your experience with CCConline too. Are the questions on the exams all multiple choice, or are they 'type in the answer' kind? I have absolutely no idea...

  18. Nursing Concepts Tests?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh Whew! No, I'm not an excelsior student. I thought the NC tests were something I just hadn't heard of, which is nothing new since I'm such a nursing noob. I just started doing all my prereqs via...

  20. Any older people in pre-nursing?

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

    About the loans thing.... I am paying for my pre-reqs cash on a plan as I take them course by course. My step daughter started college yesterday, I will hopefully be fulltime in the spring of 2010,...

  21. Any older people in pre-nursing?

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

    I'm 40 this year. I start bio (pre-req to my pre-reqs) and english this semester. I haven't been in school in 20 years. If I get in to the program I'm hoping for (in spring 2011), I will be a BSN at...

  22. I Feel Like An Idiot!

    Sand_Dollar replied to BIG DREAMER09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too use flashcards, but I also spend much of my time at my computer (all my prereq classes are online). I researched some online flashcard sites and liked quizlet.com the best. I started bio this...

  23. Taking Micro and Chem online at CCC

    Sand_Dollar replied to crogers75's topic in General Nursing

    How does the final work? Do you just do it online, doesn't this mean it could be open book? Or, do you have to go have it proctored? Very curious about this.

    Sand_Dollar replied to SargeRN's topic in Travel
