  4. How many credit hours...

    Calinurse4 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    11.5 for my ADN program for three semesters and then 12.5 for the fourth semester. All pre-reqs are done prior to the program, so these are all strictly nursing/pharm/skills

  5. Los Medanos for Fall 2011?

    Calinurse4 replied to want2banurse35's topic in California Nursing

    They don't post online; they just post the numbers on the door to the nursing department and then mail out the letters. I'm thinking they will probably be posted May 31st or June 1st, just a guess...

  8. Blood Type and RH status

    Calinurse4 replied to cantwait2graduate's topic in General Students

  9. Has anyone ever taken an A&P course online?

    Calinurse4 replied to Hoser's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in an RN program right now and they would only accept A&P with lab hours. We also had to dissect cadavers I learn better in a classroom environment, so even if I had the choice, I wouldn't...

  10. Evolution of your specialty interests

    Calinurse4 replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

  12. Have/were you accepted to more than one nursing school?

    Calinurse4 replied to Cathylady's topic in General Students
