  1. Micro Fall 2010

    Sounds
  2. rejection is making me lost

    You wouldn't be accepted to my school with that GPA, either. And at my school, you could take all the "fluff" classes you want to get A's, but they calculate the nursing GPA by your science, math and...
  3. Micro Fall 2010

    Mine is Microbiology an Introduction by Tortora. I bought mine used on Amazon for $40. I think the class is going to be very interesting. I will take A & P I in the
  4. Getting the grades that get you into nursing school. Tips?

    For me, it is only taking two classes at a time. Three if the third class does not have homework. When I took Biology this past spring, I found I had to read and reread the chapters PLUS do all the...
  5. question about evening RN program

    My clinicals will be on weekends, and classes 1-2 evenings per week. Two years to complete, just like the day
  6. Should I go ahead and get "RN" engraved after my name when

    I bet you could just get it engraved locally later. I've gotten things engraved at a jewelry store at the mall by us. Of course, it's not free then. But I would get it engraved now if it were me and...
  7. My community college recommends retaking classes to increase one's GPA, so I would do the same
  8. Frederick Community College?

    Oh, well, my Body Mechanics class was pretty pointless, too. Well, today will be my third class and it's going well. Nice small class, maybe 10 or 12 nursing students. We watched a 50 minute movie...
  9. Pre-Nursing - Am dizzy with all the options!

    Is there a community college near you where you could take care of your prereqs to try to save some
  10. Internships, Volunteering?

    At my college, the CNA course is considered "Continuing Education" and Financial Aid will not cover it. It does cover my prereqs and nursing program, though! Also the Red Cross may have a CNA course...
  11. Frederick Community College?

    Well, I went with the 5 week Human Growth & Development class. I am really glad I went for it. Erick Williamson is the professor, who was recommended to me by some other students back in the...
  12. Which Volunteering Positions?

    I don't know what would "look good", but I was thinking the Red Cross might be a good place to start. Also in my area, there is an organization called "Mission of Mercy" that provides free medical...
  13. Prerequisites .. 2 years or 3 years to finish?

    What do you think about taking the CLEP for Biology
  14. Gaithersburg to Frederick Memorial Hospital??

    Are you open to just moving to Frederick County instead? There is always so much traffic in the Montgomery Village area, and yes, if you are getting off work at 7 a.m. in Frederick, you are going to...
  15. Frederick Community College?

    P.S. Could you give me an idea of what the homework load is for HG & D? Sociology too, if you have done that one already. Thank
  16. Frederick Community College?

    Okay, so my Pottery class is done! At least all my work is. For the last class the professor meets one-on-one with each student to critique their work and give the research project grade, and the...
  17. Very true. My financial aid covers my classes and my books completely. Mine will be a second income for our family, as I have been a housewife for 20
  18. Apply for LVN license after 1 yr of nursing school

    My school has that info posted right on their website. Have you checked the sites of the schools you might be interested in? Also at my school I know you can take the CNA exam after the first...
  19. Nursing Prerequisites.....How Hard?

    Well, three of my boys are taller than I am (18, 19 & 20) and can fend for themselves, so I just have my 8 and 5 year old to care for. I take my classes in the evenings, weekend, or online so...
  20. Nursing Prerequisites.....How Hard?

    I just started prereqs in January of this year. The science classes are hard to wrap your brain around at first, but the more you become familiar with the chapters the more it sinks in. I can only...
  21. (not)Another LVN or RN post!

    Wow, how does your fiance feel about you joining the Navy? When would you do that? I am super "pro Navy" (my son has been in for two years) but I am just wondering when and how you would fit that...
  22. Frederick Community College?

    Yes, I think they have to have a requirement like that so that it can qualify for the Arts & Humanities credit. There is one test, too, which is this
  23. Frederick Community College?

    Is it PS 208 (not 108) which is Human Growth and Development? I think I am going to try that during the Jan-term or next summer session. I heard that class was pretty easy so that is why I thought...
  24. Do you donate blood?

    That's the first time I've heard anything about that, and I Googled around a bit before deciding to become a donor. There are also medicines that could not be made without plasma. The Rogam (sp?)...
  25. Where can I work in the med field?

    I'm glad someone else responded about volunteering. I am slow! I started off calling the volunteer office. They sent me an application in the mail which I returned and didn't get a call back as...
