    Sad about withdrawing from a class

    Coriander replied to Soyrizo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, I hope you're healing well from your surgery and taking it as easy as possible. :) I was also "held back" for this semester because I had to retake my Intro to Psych. It was the one reason I...

    Want to be an RN, but....

    Coriander replied to ExcitedAboutFuture's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get off your @$$ Rob! LOL. Good to meet you. I had panic disorder for quite some time, and managed it through medication and tons of therapy. Short and sweet - you can do ANYTHING you set your mind...

    Coriander replied to yooper13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome! :) I'm a soon-to-be 35 year old full-time student. I went back to school three years ago. A year after that, I changed my major to nursing. I was recently turned down for the Fall 09...

    24 Things ER Nurses Know All Too Well

    Coriander replied to RN_in_SC's topic in Emergency

    I'm a pre-nursing student as well, but have spent hours upon hours in the ER waiting rooms - enough to see exactly what you all are talking about. I've seen people screaming for a doctor because...

    Anyone else waiting to hear from San Diego State University?

    Coriander replied to Coriander's topic in California Nursing

    HELP me out please

    Coriander replied to Catoco's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Nio... I know that most colleges/universities recommend that you just plug away and go fulltime through the nursing course. Check with the colleges around you which one might be willing to let you...

    Micro: SO MUCH CHEM can I do it?

    Coriander replied to seaspray700777's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't really that much Chemistry. I took Micro without having the Chemistry background and was a little freaked out, too. I ended up with an A in the class... just by studying and practicing a...

    Anyone else waiting to hear from San Diego State University?

    Coriander replied to Coriander's topic in California Nursing

    They didn't do grade projections for me, no. What happened was that I had taken the Intro to Psych class 17 years ago and received a C-, which initially lost me 4 points right off the bat. I retook...

    Anyone else waiting to hear from San Diego State University?

    Coriander replied to Coriander's topic in California Nursing

    Holy smokes -- only 50? That's crazy!!! I'm still extremely nervous, points or not. Points don't matter until you get that call or email. My fingers and toes are

    Anyone else with second thoughts?

    Coriander replied to c_white1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, congrats on your acceptance! Secondly, I think about this often as well, but it will be another 2-3 years before I'm done with the program, and I have hope that things will have changed by then...

    Biology Help!

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

    Oh man... I've had professors like that and it gets really frustrating. Are there any other sections you can transfer into? If not, see how you do on the first exam. I would do the same thing you...

    ADVICE PLEASE! Anatomy & Other Pre-reqs.

    Coriander replied to Ready4theAction's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! My professor, who was also the head of the Sciences department, told us that the best path was Anatomy, then Physiology (we took them separately), then Chem, then Micro. I switched the micro...

    Coriander replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. I can't even think of anything to say after reading

    I didn't get in ;-( So upset!

    Coriander replied to choc0late's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was rejected as well for the Fall. Don't give up. If this is your dream, go for it!! :)

    No more sciences! Anyone else?

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

    I finished my sciences with the dreaded combined Chemistry 102 last semester. I procrastinated on taking that as long as possible. :) Now I'm taking some Upper Div. GE classes while I wait to hear...

    SDSU nursing- spring 2010 applicants

    Coriander replied to Arizo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was originally going off the 2009 standards, but was told that I was supposed to go off the 2008 ones. I guess it depends on what year you declared nursing your major? I'm completely confused by...

    SDSU nursing- spring 2010 applicants

    Coriander replied to Arizo1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CPR Certification

    Coriander replied to Adams_Mama_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have adult continuing education in your area, call the campuses there. Also, give the community colleges a call. Sometimes they send out catalogs (in my area) but sometimes they don't,...

    Retake TEAs?

    Coriander replied to purplegum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have the time and money, I say go for it. You have already taken it once, so you're familiar with the set up. I may retake it myself. A 3.6 GPA is pretty good. Congrats on that!

    Will I ever become a nurse?

    Coriander replied to lilwhitfkd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Enjoy the learning process. It's fun to feel your brain say, "Ahhh... information!" You'll be through it before you know it. I still can't believe that I've completed my

    Coriander replied to Mindy38's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Mindy! I turn 35 this year so I'm right there with you on learning "later" in life. :) I took a one-semester intensive Chem course (General, Bio and Organic combined) and surprisingly earned an A....

    How Hard is General Biology Test and lab

    Coriander replied to SAHMBACK2SCHOOL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our General Bio lab was taught by someone completely different, and while he tried to stay around our lectures, it usually ended up being a week or two ahead of lecture. We had a great time in lab,...
