  1. Has anyone used WIA funding for Nursing school?

    What is WIA?
  2. To rent or not to rent?

    I always rented my books in pre-reqs, as well. Finances forced me to rent again during my first semester. I have chosen to rent again. I may have to re-rent one or two of the text again in third semester. But, the savings will still be there. Or...
  3. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    I feel so fortunate. I was very worried before my first semester.....mostly due to reading some of the posts here at allnurses. But, our instuctors were wonderful and encouraging. We only lost one student, who chose to drop.
  4. The last day of my first semester clinicals, I had the honor to provide post-mortem care to a patient that was on hospice. My mother passed a year and a half ago and also was on hospice at home. I am really interested in working with hospice once I ...
  5. Fellow 'B' Students...

    I will be honest....it took me a whole week to recover from receiving a "B". I set out at the beginning of the semester with one goal....balance family and school, and that a "B" would be wonderful. I was cruising along most of the semester at a 85...
  6. Any COS Visalia students out there?

    So, I am a current 1st semester student at COS and was so excited for you all. It made my whole day....remembering when I got my acceptance letter. I talked with one of the first semester instructors who says that several people on the waiting list...
  7. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    That is weird. I called today and was told that it would be offered this year. And, to just keep watching for the email.
  8. Any COS Visalia students out there?

    I think it is at the beginning of May. What are your two B's in?
  9. Nothing left to do....

    I thought that I was in your same boat. And then, my son broke his leg skateboarding. Now, I am scrambling to get him into specialist, find him a wheelchair and make arrangements to get him to school since he will be wheelchair bound for up to four...

    .............................."Prereq only" School Name: College of the Sequoias (ADN) .................................................. ....City, State: Visalia, California ...........................................Waitlis t, Yes or No: No ..........
  11. Is it best to Purchase or Rent Nursing Textbooks?

    Money is tight for me, as well. I have rented from Chegg in the past. However, I decided to rent with Campusbookrentals.com this semester because they have an option to purchase the books, if you'd like, before your return date. And, I found prom...
  12. Any plans for winter break?

    So, I have been "off" since the summer semester. I begin nursing school in Jan. But, I have read some good books, cooked every night for the fam, love on my kids and hubby, and am hoping to sew. All the things I will miss during my 1st semester! H...
  13. Financial Aid pay for nursing school

    The Pell Grant does cut off at a maximum number of credits. Although, you can file an appeal which can be granted and is determined by your school on an individual basis. My school considers those in a nursing program eligible (in most cases). Cal...
  14. Going to be denied f/a because of maximum credit rule..

    I was told by our school that almost everyone entering the Nursing program has gone over the max. credits, due to the number of pre-reqs required. And, although they are required to look at each person case-by-case, the appeal process is normally ju...
  15. I have rented from Chegg.com in the past. But, this semester I am considering renting all my books from campusbookrentals.com. I will save more that $400. And, they have an option to buy the book at the end of the semester, should you choose to......
  16. what textbook is everyone using?

    Just go into you school's bookstore and ask to see the books that are required for the classes that you are going to be taking. And, write down the ISBN!
  17. To Buy or Rent.. That is the question!

    be I have also rented with Chegg.com - with excellent service. I alway check retailmenot.com for promo codes whenever I order anything online. There are usually codes for 5-10% off order or free shipping. This semester, I am thinking about trying cam...
  18. I have questions about Financial Aid

    You can complete a the fafsa, if you did not file taxes AND were not required to file.
  19. Anatomy or Physio harder...taking seperate.

    It is important to take Anatomy first. You should know where it is before you know what it does.
  20. "prereqs" or "coreqs"?

    Co-reqs consist of general ed graduation requirements. The sciences and English are required prior to applying. Some of the schools require all classes be complete before applying. The problem with not completing ALL classes required for graduatio...
  21. Taking 2 science courses (bsc2086 and MCB) in the same semester!?

    I took Chem and Anatomy one semester. And, Micro and Physio the next. Long hours of study, but I got an A in all four classes.
  22. Yelled at for posting on AN

    What I don't understand is if they scolded you for posting, why would you come back on here with the same screen name and complain. Don't you feel there will a backlash?
  23. Taking the advise of others in this forum, I went into my financial aid office. I found out that I may be able to receive financial aid, even though I have an AA in Social Science. I must file and be successful at my appeal. I was accepted into the...
