Does anyone have any experience with the program at FCC? I am currently taking my pre-req's now and I'm worried about getting in. They keep raising the GPA every year, now it's a 3.39 min. and you can only apply once a year as they only have 56 slots...

What RN school are you looking at? Most of them look at your nursing gpa and what your school has on record might not matter-in terms of re-taking the classes. And as far as doing the LPN thing first, sometimes it's harder to get in to an LPN program...

Oh that's awesome! AP is def the most challenging. It's especially frustrating for me because I'm not the best test taker. I get nervous and will put down the wrong answer when I know the right one, some read the question clearly and so on and so for...

Ha, that's funny. He came into class the next day talking about doing just that. I think he really enjoyed it. And yes it is his thing. He has a biz doing it or something like that from what I've gathered. If you apply yourself and come to class on t...

You won't have to know it all. At least not at my school. Just the ones that they think are the most important.

I personally wouldn't do it in 8 weeks. It's a lot to keep up with. Lab and lecture are like 2 different classes too. But it depends on your circumstances and all that. Some do just fine with it, not me though!

Tissues isn't that bad. Muscles isn't that bad, bones...for me a little trickier. I think you just have to have the mindset that you are going to practice, practice and practice some more and try to enjoy yourself! If you find it interesting, I guara...

Well I have Rosebrock who has a reputation of being the hardest one. His tests/exams are no joke. They are a lot of application problems. But he's fair and he's good. I think that he does a good job at preparing you for nursing school because that's ...

The only thing that I've heard about him is that he missed several classes and wasn't even really going to go into muscles which is a HORRID idea. It sets you up for failure. I also heard that he was so easy to the point where it will also set you up...

How do you find out what states do this? Never heard of it.

It depends on how much time you can devote to studying and how good you are at learning things. I am in A&P1 now and it's like 3 classes. No joke.

Wow. You really sound ignorant. You clearly have no idea what it's like to be a mother, or an "older lady". Perhaps you need to gain some life experience yourself before make blanket statements that so clearly show that you have no idea what you're t...

I wouldn't say it was easy unless you already have a foundation in chem and bio. There are so many components to it. they are the longest chapters in my book

We have our lab midterm on Thursday of next week and it's on chapters 1-8 but it's all multiple choice though. I am still working on ch. 7 now!

How did everyone do on the test? I didn't do as well as I thought. I knew the information really well but somehow that didn't show up on the test. I was actually really surprised and upset. I got a 77.3

How much work outside of class do you think there was? How many reports or whatever did you have to do? Sounds tempting. Usually I would never think of doing a j-term class but it might work for group discussion.

Oh sorry, I think I missed this. Yes, it's an additional lab experiment. IT took me forever, I felt it was sort of a time suck.

Oh cool! I signed on as the same screen name, jenniepaige

I am in the same boat, same place and everything. I would be up for an online study group, maybe by IM or something. Somethings that I have recently found VERY helpful are the notes from the thread that is stickied at the top here on AP and there is ...

OH gosh, heck yes! Great time to go to school as you have all day to go to class and study! I wish I had that much time! I have 3 kids. 1st grade, 4 and 2. I went back last year when my oldest was in K and it has def been a challenge. I feel like I c...

I think I was thinking of one of the posters before that said that you have to have the it first.

You don't have to have a bachelors in another field to to RN-MSN. At least not at MDSON which is very very good. What you do is first finish the requirements for your BSN then move on to MSN requirements.

is SO glad to hear that!!! I was really bummed last night. Wonder why there's so much misinformation out there then?

Where did you hear this? I only heard that by 2020 you have to have a DN to be a CRNA. ETA: Just looked it and you're right. That makes me sad, it was what I wanted to do. But I don't want to get my DNP. Nurse practitioner - Wikipedia, the free encyc...

I think we both recommended him. He is also my lab teacher for AP1. He is good, I like him. Oh and yes pysio x is a lab that we do outside of class and lab time. In addition to regular lab. Lot of work!
