  1. UNC Summer 2011

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Ms.Dre22, First off, thank you for the congrats, I appreciate that. :) Now, congratulations to you on you A.S. I will have my fingers crossed you get into CU. It's a great program, and getting in...

  2. CNA Skills Exam Weighing without or with shoes

    Sand_Dollar replied to Marianne Mc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I finished my class in November and passed my test in January. The first thing we were told to do was make sure the scale was zeroed out. Then, make sure the resident had shoes on and were tied...

  3. How many semesters of nursing classes do you have?

    Sand_Dollar replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    My traditional BSN program is 4 - 16 weeks semesters plus one summer of strictly nursing classes. Pathophysiology and Pharmacology are pre-reqs and must be completed before

  4. How to survive Algebra and how to learn it before taking the college placement test?

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

    My daughter used myteacher.com. It is a pay site with videos and math help ranging from middle school to some college algebra. She hadn't had much algebra in High School yet, but by doing the Algebra...

  5. Online Pathophysiology

    Sand_Dollar replied to LPNtoBSNtoDNP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did mine through ccconline. It was a 4 credit class. I can't say it's cheap, especially if you are out of state, but it may be another resource for you just in

  6. Hoping to come home and go to school!

    Sand_Dollar replied to Studylots34's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Navycorpsmangirl, welcome to allnurses! :) I was just accepted into the UNC traditional program. The lowest GPA accepted this year was a 3.67. UNC also requires additional pre-reqs (Biochem, Pharm,...

  7. Scholarships

    Sand_Dollar replied to Faithful08's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Welcome to Allnurses Faithful08!! I'd check with your school's financial aid office. For this spring semester I was given a Phi Theta Kappa scholarship because I'm a member of PTK, and was given a...

  8. Acceptance Letters

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

    My school sends out acceptance letters and wait list letters. I hadn't heard of outright denials, but with the wait list letters I was told the applicant is given what number they are on the wait...

  9. can anyone recommend an online Microbiology class w/Lab?

    Sand_Dollar replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    One school I applied to required Micro, another did not. It is a 4 credit class that does have a lab component, so you have to buy a labpaq to go along with it. I have had all my classes that I took...

  10. can anyone recommend an online Microbiology class w/Lab?

    Sand_Dollar replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    I loved mine through ccconline.org - it was my favorite class.

  11. What do you guys do to wake up in the morning?

    Sand_Dollar replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    I despise mornings, hence the reason I have about 3 alarms set (or more...depending how early I have to get up)! I have one to get up, another 5 minutes later and another when to leave the house. I...

  12. Previous terrible grades???

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

    Totally depends on the school. I had one school turned me down because of bad grades 20+ years ago, even though I have a 4.0 in all my pre-reqs. My second school is strictly based in the last 45...

  13. American Sentinel University

    Sand_Dollar replied to LadieRn's topic in Colorado Nursing

    i didn't know this, thank you for the

  14. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    Sand_Dollar replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    WOAH! I'm sorry, but I think that's INSANE. Not only the pass rate, but cost. I have good grades, but no way would I risk that much money on those

  15. American Sentinel University

    Sand_Dollar replied to LadieRn's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I have never heard of this school. I checked out DORA for the CO board of nursing, and can't find them anywhere under approved education programs. http://www.dora.state.co.us/nursing/education/RN.html...

  16. Med abbrevs for word?

    Sand_Dollar replied to RNin2007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    nvm.... didn't see how old this thread was until my reply was

  17. UNC - 2011 start

    Sand_Dollar replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    If any hopefuls are lurking and interested: the nursing office said they hope to get the letters out this week. Good luck to those

  18. UNC - 2011 start

    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I thought I would start this thread for those interested in applying to UNC for the Summer or Fall 2011 start, like me! I went to an advising session there today and the advisor was fantastic....

  19. Pre-nursing Statistics HELP!!!

    Sand_Dollar replied to unionnurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with mjmoon, it really isn't difficult at all. I actually enjoyed the class because it was relevant to real life...unlike Algebra. As long as you know which formula to plug into the problem,...

  20. has anyone taken Chemistry I from Colorado Community College?

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

    I took Chem 101 & 102 through ccconline. Are you sure you need 111? 101 is what the schools require around here (in CO). I'd check into it, you don't want to take the wrong class and no need...

    Sand_Dollar replied to SkiMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

  22. Long commute, need audio cd advise please

    Sand_Dollar replied to jimboslice's topic in General Students

    I use a livescribe pen. I use it record my lectures and when I get home, I save the files as MP3s, then transfer the audio to my iphone. If your stereo has an auxiliary plug, you can play off your MP3...

  23. Pathophysiology Fall 2010

    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is anyone going to be taking Patho this fall? It's a pre-req for a program I am applying to, while I know for some of you it's taken during your actual nursing program. I was looking to share...

  24. Writing a case study

    Sand_Dollar replied to cyd12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Cristal Jones, Daytonite is the one who posted that link. Unfortunately for us all, she passed away last year, so can't update it to a working link. Perhaps you can do a search for other case study...

  25. can anyone explain what an online course is actually like?

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

    I did my entire A.S. online. None of my classes had a skype-type set up - interaction is very similar to what you would find on this allnurses board, posts and replies (plus exams and assignments)....
