can you apply before you have your prereqs done lets say your in your last one?? ive heard from a nurse in her 3rd semester you can.. i mean the core pre reqs... like i want to apply now im taking phys in the summer.. not sure though. ive heard from her that your not going to wait a three semester.. it usually is 2 so i think youll get in after a semester.. =)

congrats to all of you.. although im a bit jealous because ill be applying in the spring im happy and proud for you guys... all that hard work you all deserve it... to say the least. congrats again

i heard there program is like boot camp once you graduate from there your like a top notch nurse.. creme de la creme can you guys get a bsn if you should choose to go further? Good luck to all of you that applied im sure youll have greate training there

i took mine at North Valley Occupational Center.. i think its in mission hills.. back then wayyy back then costed me about 500 bucks. i believe they too offer an LVN program. hope that helps.

unless anyone knows of schools that will take you if you are just waiting to get into the rn program.. but have most of the pre reqs and upperdivision classes done.. i wonder if thats possible..

yeah i guess.. but the problem is that i pretty much need a bs in something.. and the classes i can take for the bsn are only about 4.. but i must take it at the campus site.. its much easier to get a rn to bsn then to try and get a bsn.. so im thinking of maybe taking that psych developmental class and applying for the lottery.. ill be done with every pre req come fall.. but able to apply for the program come fall as well.. (ideally only need 3 more classes.) sociology, physiology and stats i think the pre reqs for the PA are quite similar as well

well the schools that are around me require you to have the liscense already... the wait list is even longer for the universities.. ive thought about perhaps a PA they pay pretty well but not to sure... still thoughts on Med school.. but i figured id move up gradually

im new to this thread.. ive noticed that all of you have your prereqs done and just hoping or have recieved your letters.. congrats to all of you.. i only consider myself a hopeful because i can PUT in my application this fall.. but not really hopefull =( you guys are wayyyy ahead of me.. i wonder what year i can call myself a hopeful lol.. the school i want is approximately a 3 semester waiting list. and a few others are lottery.. i guess i can try for those but idk.. and they are good schools.. but again idk.. i can only imagine how many apps they get... and im a half empty cup type of person i like difinitive answers... which is what i like numbers

if you aced anp in 8 weeks you can definately do micro.. its a little memorization but not nearly as much as ap ive never had to study so long for a freaking test.. in my anatomy class ive already put in 30 hours on the first test.. =/ youll do fine for micro but also it depends on the teacher you should look at ratemyprofessor.. if the teacher is hard i would only assume hell be harder in that course.. but maybe hell go easy because its 8 weeks.. but i doubt it.. if you should choose to do that id recommend learning about the worms.. gram - and gram + bacteria and the test you should do to eliminate that.. that will save you a lot of time when you get there..

well if your dream is to be an RN there is no running around the classes.. wether you take them now become a lpn you still have to take english micro anatomy phys etc... you get grants for school i thought you get more that.. but you can still get loans at leat... apply for stafford loans unsub or sub.. that can help but if were you id just take the classes and knock them out of the way.. with the economy classes like that will be cut more and more and become harder to get to...

you do need chemistry for micro in my school.. and it is somewhat necessary to have it.. when u put the equation for cellular respiration and they are like c6 h6 ?? what does all that mean.. having that background helps.... and in bio.. when in my lecture are first portion of the first test is based on organells of the cell and their function. the teacher doesnt go over that in class she assumes you already and should known that from bio 101

Shhh scene safety and bsi.. I'm a EMT-P .. EMT I believe is more than a CNA.. You critical thinking surpasses CNA level.. I don't think they know about diabetic kedo acidosis how to manage a patient with a c spine hypovolemic shock etc.. Medical trauma patients.. CNA never taught me that.. We have general knowlede for lot of situations. I'm not in the program but II believe a EMT basic is stronger than CNA and I'd say paramedic is comparable to Lvn. It's cool you posted this though I didn't know there were so many emt

im soo applying to hear after i finish phys this summer.. what i find lame though is that they require two psych classes.. =( but i guess its better than waiting a year and half at AVC if i can get in

AL what school do you go to?
