  1. New Student Rant!!!

    shortnorthstudent replied to mater44's topic in General Students

    1st term when we pick our classes, we pick a timeslot for clinical. Basically we choose between Monday from 8-1 or Tuesday from 8-1. That's it. After first term, we certainly can provide the...

  2. Little more than 2 weeks till CSCC starts

    shortnorthstudent replied to Buck eye's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Anyone been to the bookstore Saturday or today? Do they have the course notes in for 100 and 110? I'd really like to get that stuff sooner rather than later. Our family life is crazy busy this fall...

  3. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    shortnorthstudent replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    I have to say that I probably have said some things in between before. I took classes part time and basically finished not only the pre-reqs, but all of the co-reqs prior to even applying for nursing...

  4. Pathophysiology

    shortnorthstudent replied to kristi1111's topic in General Students

    I would tend to agree with this. I found pathophysiology to be the easiest of the series (we take anatomy and physiology as separate courses as well). If you really understand the systems and the...

  5. Anatomy and Physiology I and II - drop out rate

    shortnorthstudent replied to Elizabeth 123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Our courses are separated - Anatomy, Physiology and Pathophysiology rather than combined A&Ps We started with 26 (I think) in Anatomy and finished with 14. A couple of those who stayed were...

  6. Little more than 2 weeks till CSCC starts

    shortnorthstudent replied to Buck eye's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am so excited and so nervous. I picked up most of my books on Saturday. Although, I was hoping that there would be syllabi in the packets and there

  7. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm not saying that it's particularly expensive compared to other programs. It is absolutely a cost effective program and the credit hour rate is significantly lower than many other schools. I just...

  8. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I just wanted to give you a heads up that even with only NURS classes, your cost will be more than $4k. Just tuition at the current $79/credit hour rate for the 54 NURS credits is $4266. I just...

  9. Does anyone else feel like their program starts off slow?

    shortnorthstudent replied to jennafezz's topic in General Students

    We are on quarters as well. Our first quarter focus is on head to toe assessments in a long term care facility. We don't start for a couple of weeks yet, but I believe that our clinicals begin in...

  10. Is it too hard to take Microbiology, AP II, and Chemistry together?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Christine22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school all three of those are lab sciences. That alone makes each of them quite time consuming. I would be concerned about whether I could be successful in all 3 in one semester. Most schools...

  11. What is so bad about STATS?

    shortnorthstudent replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    I missed an A by 3 points and stats is still the only blemish on my GPA. I took it online and it was aweful. Not an easy course to basically teach to yourself. I think it wouldn't have been as bad...

  12. Microbiology fall 2010

    shortnorthstudent replied to soraji's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking micro over the summer and have 3 weeks left. It hasn't been too bad. Fair amount of work with a couple of presentations and group project in the mix, but interesting. It's sort of...

  13. CSCC supplies

    shortnorthstudent posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Just wondering if anyone can help. I start in CSCC's program this fall and I know I'll be getting a packet in the next couple of months and I'll have an orientation in July. However, my birthday is...

  14. About to start NS...but unhappy with my school

    shortnorthstudent replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish you a ton of success in your program. I am responding with all the best for you and hope you can take that tone from my post. I understand that it is disheartening to be told by your school...

  15. Microbiology, Summer 2010

    shortnorthstudent replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Happy to say that I identified my 2nd unknown and all is well there. It's nice to have that behind

  16. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    They don't just look at the timestamp and send out letters. My understanding is that they double check to make sure that the applicants have met all of the requirements in case there is a problem...

  17. Microbiology, Summer 2010

    shortnorthstudent replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh. I'm having unknown problems. Did well streaking for isolation, growing in our slants and gram staining. My gram + was pretty easy and I only needed a catalase test to identify s. aureus. But, my...

  18. Preparing for Anatomy/Physiology 2

    shortnorthstudent replied to johnny depp23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seriously? You think the coloring book comment was the insulting part of your post? Even my five year old is smart enough to know that the phrase lazy idiots is unkind, unnecessary and unlikely to...

  19. Microbiology, Summer 2010

    shortnorthstudent replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2nd exam tomorrow and gram staining our unknowns. Here's to hoping that they grew up nicely on our slants. Seriously I'm having trouble focusing on this class. The material is very interesting, but...

  20. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thank you. I wasn't quite sure how to put

  21. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I loved physiology because I loved learning about how everything works together. I don't prefer memorization, but really liked being able to trace functions from one place to another and extrapolate...

  22. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Speech online wasn't too bad. Sort of a pain in the heiny just because it's speech and I don't know too many people who get excited for that class. Do you have many other coreqs to finish

  23. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Oops, yeah, the clinical is on Tuesday not Wednesday. I wasn't looking at the schedule when I poste. I just know that I'm in school T, W and TH rather than M, T and Th. Yup, I got in the Tuesday...

  24. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    That must vary by instructor because we reviewed attachment sites in lab, although I don't specifically recall being tested on those. While I heard several times that 261 is the most difficult prereq,...

  25. Unhappy with CSCC...are there any alternatives?

    shortnorthstudent replied to b0rea1is's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Since I haven't started yet, I cannot answer for certain. It's getting close though. :) The SNA students and the faculty at orientation explained that clinical sites/times depend on the clinical...
