I know this question would be hard to answer considering most people take ONE micro course so they cannot compare, but I am wondering if it is definitely worth the expense to do it through OCC. I read about the course and professor on the OCC site ...

Mnemonics help a lot with some of the bones and there is also one for the cranial nerves. The mnemonics helped me a lot and they really do stick with you.

Excuse me for jumping in without advice - I don't have anything to contribute but Tait's comment made me smile because I worked as a waitress the first time in college and "getting in the weeds" was the worst feeling. I worry about getting in the we...

:ancong!::dncgbby: What a great way to start off your weekend. Congratulations!

Its not a bad idea. I took an EMT-B class one semester (it was a regular, for-credit, college course that satisfied a Health Ed requirement) and the instructor dressed us down on the first day because most of us had not started reading the text book....

I am pretty sure most of the nursing schools in Las Vegas, NV are merit-based as well. You make the cutoff or you don't.

I can't edit so I am making a correction here - Clovis does offer Micro - the course must be full and not showing up on the online course lookup, but it is on the pdf schedule of classes. I stand corrected. I think I am going to go with Clovis as it...

Just looking for opinions. I took A&P and Micro back in 1994 and 1995 and did well, but the classes are obviously old and even if I could find a school that took them, I need to get back the lost knowledge. I have heard Rio Salado's A&P midt...

I agree. That one semester where you are trying to live the "college life" may give you some bad habits. Maybe not but you never know. You are going to make friends with fellow students in nursing school, and they will be going through the same rigor...

I resemble this. My husband is in CSAR in the AF and potentially has 16 yrs to go before retirement (if he does the whole 30). I have 4 kids and he can be as supportive as possible but that still won't change the months away from home, deployments, b...

Arianna, my suggestion would be to find some sort of childcare situation where you could handle it even if you had no family or friends; that way if your husband can drop off the kids on the way to work or pick them up if your clinical runs til 7, it...

Your husband is supportive, so I agree with the others - let him help be the buffer. Explain to him the difficulties you are having and ask him to help (and give specifics - if he is anything like my husband he will need specific examples of what wou...

Thank you! I will. Now just to get my hubby to actually put in for the assignment (its special duty and they have a number of open slots for it - he was told if he puts in for it he will get it - he is 99.5% sure he is putting in for it).

I have a question for anyone who is or was a student in any of the nursing programs in Las Vegas (ANY- LPN, ADN, BSN, accelerated post bacc BSN...any of the schools). If you had to work childcare around your schedule of classes and clinicals, how did...

Thanks. We won't be going til next summer and even then it would be at least another year before I apply to anything. My science classes were done in 1993-94 with As and A-s but they are too old (with the exception of the program at CSN that allows ...

If I were you I'd still do the LPN program. Some medical offices will hire LPNs to MA positions, at the same or very similar pay (so expect lower than say LPN work in LTC), so you can always apply for those jobs if you need to, but you will have the ...

Hello. I have a question I hope at least a few of you don't mind answering. I'd really appreciate it. If you could not be a nurse, what would you do that still fulfills your interest in health/science/medicine/nursing ? I started off in the pre-BSN c...

I think the CNA course is great idea. I am a former nursing student. I loved my classes, and did really well. I was pre-BSN in college and ended up switching majors and graduating with a health ed degree. Afterwards, I decided to go back for nursing...

I don't know if this varies by state, but the community college near me offers a DMS (Diagnostic Medical Sonography) program which is direct-entry, no prior education (besides high school and the standard health program pre-reqs) needed. The waiting...

Thanks. You're right that law does not interest me but your comments are valued. I am casting a wide net so I can see what I am missing. I am hoping by asking people who may have enjoyed or been really interested in the same academic subjects as I t...
