I have been taking prereq's and plan on applying to the RN program next spring at the local CC. I was under the impression the Nursing program was accredited with the NLNAC only to find out.. Quote from Enrollment Specialist ~ Health Progra...

I have wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl and now that I am working at getting into the nursing program I have found out that it is really competitive. I didn't realize so many people were trying to get into nursing. The classes aren't ...

I am looking to pick some brains here. Has anyone taken Micro and A&P 2 in the same semester? How did it go for you? Recommend/not recommend? I am thinking about taking both in the fall so that I have them both completed when I apply for the ...

For those of you who took Micro and A&P together, did you have many other classes you were taking at the time? If so, how many credits did you take along with those two classes?

How many credits during the summer would you say is too many credits to take? I am signed up for Chem. w/lab and an online English course. Would I be pushing it if I were to add an online Art History class too? Just a but of extra background info....

That's all I want is more writing than I anticipated. I already took Sociology so that is a no can do. I was hoping to be able to take a second online course to cut down on commuting time and the Art History was available, but now it has me wonderi...

Why let them get you down? I say go for it and apply to the LVN program, it is a step toward the RN. You can get your LVN and then decide later if you want to try and bridge to the RN. You don't have the grades for the RN right now, so in order to...

Okay, I tried posting this in the forum for my state, but there isn't a lot of activity there. I have wanted to be a nurse since I was a little girl and now that I am working at getting into the nursing program I have found out that it is really ...

Great advice, thanks! I am between semesters right now so sitting and waiting for the next session to start is making me feel like I am not in control, so your comments are "dead on" because during the semester I felt like I was in control. Didn't ...

That is me! My kids are teenagers and will be leaving the nest in a few years so I am reaching the stage where I can now focus on doing what I have always wanted pursue. My husband keeps telling me I will get in, he has all the faith in the world ...

Yeah, I had chem. back in High School, but I am taking it to bump up the grade I got back then. It will be a good refresher for me.

I am going to apply for the RN next spring. How about you?

Started out as a lookie-loo. I am a pre-nursing student. I have wanted to be a nurse for a long time and now I am at the stage of my life that allows me to pursue nursing. My hubby thought I was nuts. I started searching the internet to see if I w...

Okay, well I have made up my mind. I will just do A&P II and not Micro at the same time. I have other classes I will be taking and one of them is college algebra, so after reading some of the other posts I just don't want to overload and risk m...

Thanks for the input. I looked up the college on the NLNAC site and didn't find my school listed. I went ahead and emailed the NLNAC because the school has a news release on their website stating they have received confirmation of candidacy status....

I am working on the Prereq's at CWI right now. I just stumbled across a post that got me a bit concerned about the Nursing programs at CWI. For some reason I was under the impression that CWI was accredited but it's not. I feel like I have been t...

Are any of you currently CNA's? I am 39 and taking my prereq's to get into the RN program, I am not a CNA. I have been a stay at home mom for 17 years. Just wondering if I should try to fit in a CNA course this summer and become certified. I don'...
