yes, I did...and I just heard that I can now register for the Chem 1010...about time! Thanks!

Oh! The metro campus FINALLY got all of my transcripts...high school and all. Now, I am just waiting to hear from the dean (left a message this morning) in order to get into the Chem class this fall...I do not want to go in and take a math placement test if I do not have to...

Yeah, I think I am going to go the Chem route. My original thought was to try to get all of my pre-reqs done so that I could start in 2011 (wishful thinking), but I know that the 2011 class (nights and weekends) will be full by this summer. In any event, I hope to get into the 2012 fall sequence. Good luck to you guys this next year as you start your nursing program!!! rrmitch2000 - I agree, there should be some type of daycare option for nursing school students...that does not cost an arm and a leg! Especially with so many second degree students who already have kids :)

Thanks for the great ideas ScottE and rrmitch2000. Are both of you already accepted into Tri-C's program? Did either one of you go the Chem 1010 and 1020 route or the Biochem route? Right now I am trying to get into the Chem 1010 class this fall, BUT Tri-C states that they have not yet received my transcripts yet...which is stupid since I have had my undergrad send the transcripts twice...ugh...I have no idea what is going on in the admissions department. Anyway, I have to wait until then in order to get approval to take Chem 1010 without taking the pre req. Honestly, I feel it is dumb that I had to submit my high school transcripts as well, oh well.

thank you for the advice notthereyet0 and ScottE! I have a sister-in-law who is just finishing her ADN at Tri-C and although it has been a tough road, she was able to do it. I agree, the ADN track at Tri-C (modified nights and weekends) probably makes the most sense. I am also making a career change...used to be in HR. I am starting my pre-reqs now and instead of taking biochem, I am going to take chem 1010 and 1020...just so that when I am a nurse, I can go right into the RN-BSN program...and have the hospital pay for it.

Hi Everyone! I am a mother of three...have a three year old and a set of newborn twins. I have my BA in anthropology and sociology and am debating on either the ADN program at Tri-C or the accelerated BSN program at CSU. Any thoughts? I know money is an issue...always is, but it seems like the pre reqs for both programs are almost identical. I am taking my pre reqs slowly (since I have little ones at home) so I do not plan to attend until 2012. Any advice would be great! Thank you!!![/b]

Thank you ScottE! My sister in law took him too for A&P and loved him!!! Unfortunately he is not teaching biochem in the fall...dang it!

Hi! I am new to this post and just stared working on my pre-reqs for the nursing program. I already have my BA but still need to take my science classes :) Could any of you guys recommend a good biochem professor from either the metro or western campus? THANKS!!!
