  1. Anatomy before Chemistry?

    jennylouwho replied to ktran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P without taking Chem (well, I took Chem in high school, 15 years before that they counted as acceptable!), it wasn't that bad. My instructor was great and the way she explained things...

  2. made it! Hello all!

    jennylouwho replied to libra's girl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like FLhusker, I just got my letter a couple weeks ago and it was so exciting! Enjoy the excitement! :)

  3. Suggestions on schedule

    jennylouwho replied to OBplease's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that either way, it shouldn't be too bad. I took full course loads with both A&Ps and I took Micro with a Med Term (3 credit) class in the

  4. I'm a little confused

    jennylouwho replied to futurestudent11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, have you actually talked with someone from the school? Because I've seen plenty of schools who lay out there program like that - crammed full. My school is one such that looks like you can...

  5. Last minute advice and tips

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

    Does your school have a tutoring center? You need to get a tutor. You can do

  6. Got my rejection letter today..

    jennylouwho replied to tnearthmama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry about the rejection letter. My school also does the one time removal of bad marks (my husband did it for his younger years insanity and it instantly boosted his GPA up). If I were you, I'd make...

  7. Can anyone give any advice??

    jennylouwho replied to Jessicaeileen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, you're completing a phlebotomy program now? I would finish that and apply to the ADN program. You can work while you're in school. Many hospitals may give tuition assistance, so that will...

  8. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

    jennylouwho replied to Student4_life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, while I don't think it's necessary to have a 4.0, I think you should have a pretty solid GPA before starting nursing classes if you intend to go further in your education (BSN or MSN). The...

  9. Visitation policy of children in L&D/ Mother Baby/ LDRP

    jennylouwho replied to MemphisOBRNC's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just had a baby, so I can tell you that in the hospital that I delivered at in NE Ohio, it was siblings of the baby or over a certain age (12 I think). Much better than the year before when it was...

    Congrats to you as well,

  11. Any good scholarships out there for Nursing school ?

    jennylouwho replied to iwillnotwasteit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the information that I have on specific scholarships are specific to my area and require you to be a resident of my county, so it won't really help you. :) Go online and start looking - compile...

  12. Any good scholarships out there for Nursing school ?

    jennylouwho replied to iwillnotwasteit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check around your local community. Here the hospital's ladies auxiliary gives out scholarships for nursing school. You just have to check around - check with local businesses. Sure, grants are...

  13. Tired of Pre-Reqs

    jennylouwho replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It will happen, but the waiting does suck! I started my pre-reqs May 2009, finished my pre-reqs in Aug 2009. Finished my co-reqs in Aug 2010. And just got my acceptance letter for an ADN program, I...

  14. Looking into Nursing Program, Weighing my options

    jennylouwho replied to jerp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Another thing to consider is getting a job in a hospital now. Many hospitals will help pay (or pay for entirely) your schooling. Our local hospital even has ties with the community college that...

  15. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Well, I finally got in! I start in August. :) So, it took two years once my pre-reqs were done (Chem, Intermediate Algebra) and a full year after I finished my core classes (which I did in one year...

  16. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Yep, I continue to take classes that will count towards my BSN. It's just frustrating. Had I known how long it was going to take, had they been honest from the beginning, I would have just taken my...

  17. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I haven't been around in awhile, but wanted to post an update....it's at least a two year wait. All the letters have gone out and I did not get in for spring semester. So, we'll see in March if I...

  18. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    dizzy - Well, clinicals are five semesters, so if you're on the list for two years, then it's really like four years. Unless you are only going part time and won't finish all your core classes, in...

  19. Lower wait list time near Cleveland?

    jennylouwho replied to ghiggins's topic in Ohio Nursing

    ghiggins - yeah, the wait is long at lccc. I've been waiting since August 2009 and have all my classes complete. I saw the actual nursing counselor, and not just an advisor in enrollment services in...

  20. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Dizzy - I hope someone didn't make it sound like you'd get in for the spring in enrollment services because that would be a really crappy thing for them to have done. I've been on the list since...

  21. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I agree with ohcomeon...you just need a 2.5. When I suggested to the counselor that they should give a higher gpa a higher place slot he was all "but we're a community college and we like to cater...

    Good luck to you! I start micro in a few weeks myself (in a shortened summer

  24. Nursing Shortage?

    jennylouwho replied to mboulis's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I don't think there's a shortage in any area right now - due to the economy. That said, I'm still going into nursing because I have a passion for it. But, I'm also doing things that will hopefully...

  25. Lorain CCC

    jennylouwho replied to chimarie's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They'll tell you three semesters once you are done with all the classes (Enrollment Services Academic Advisers). That's what they told me and everyone that I've talked to there (students). And then...
