Hi, I will be starting classes in the fall at my local CC to prepare for admission to Nursing School and was wondering if taking both Biology & Chemistry during the same semester is wise? I have taken all Science courses 15yrs ago when I was ...
Hi, Just was wondering if anyone has been accepted to St. Vincent's College in recent weeks? I know there are tons of applicants now and would be curious to hear of anyone who will be starting at St. Vincent's either in Jan. or Fall 08'.

Hi, To the previous posters - FYI, the cost currently for the State Technical/Vocational LPN Programs is approx. $5800 total (I added books & uniforms in the figure). The next time there will be a class starting for the state run LPN programs wil...
Hi, There are a few choices for you to explore. First, I believe I just read on the HCC course selection page that they are offering a CNA course this summer. This is a new offering for HCC and the program would more than likely be at a lower fee b...
Hello! Just was wondering if there are any other new students at St. Vincent's College attending our orientation tomorrow? I am so very excited to finally be starting my educational experiences at St. Vincent's and have much to look forward to in t...

Hi Nancy, I am using the same A&P book by Tortora so I'd be really happy if we can help one another. I am very nervous about Chap. 3 and luckily my Prof. said we don't need to read Chap. 2 w/the Chem but we still need to know it very well for t...

Hi Msdeannah, I hope all is well, my hat goes off to you for taking an all-day A&P class. I know you must be so tired by the time you leave. I give you tremendous amounts of credit. My lecture is 1-2:25pm Mon & Wed. and my Lab is Mon. evening...

Hi ORNurse2Be, Firstly, congrats on a great grade for your 1st test! I know you worked hard to achieve it. Can you share your study tips more? Did you study every day or did you start reading right from the 1st day of your class? Did you start r...

Hi Regi, Thank you for this great info. I will tell my friend tomorrow. Hopefully she can go to the classes next week because she finishes her work this Friday. I'll tell her to call all over this week to inquire where she can take the classes. W...

Hi, My girlfriend is going to Wright Tech in 2 wks and she has a $0 EFC which would make her very eligible for a full Pell Grant as well as the "max" in financial aid. I have helped her w/a lot of things relating to her preparation for school and she...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I did some further research about a bookseller I listed - A1books: DO NOT buy any books whatsoever from this company. They have a very poor track record and you will not receive a book that is purchased from them...
gemini08 replied to DreamyEyes's topic in Pre-Nursing
Hi, Excellent suggestions esp. to purchase books online. Also, the rent a book option is good - you are going to pay a lower amount than if you bought the same book online whether used or new, but the drawback here is you can't sell the book to anyo...

I did purchase the Olympus WS-110, and I want to extend much thanks to Esther2007 for mentioning Amazon because that is where they had a great deal. I paid a total of $54.91 w/free shipping for a brand-new recorder!! How great is that! I can't wait t...
Hi all, I will be starting A&P 1 in Sept. and will definitely be buying an Olympus WS-110 Digital Voice Recorder. The Professor who teaches the class talks really fast so a voice recorder is a must. A good small, compact voice recorder is what ...
gemini08 replied to gemini08's topic in Connecticut
It turns out the voice recorder is refurbished. I don't know about this, but I think I should just spend the $68 total for a new one. Any thoughts?? Has anyone ever ordered a voice recorder refurbished? Let me know. Thanks
Hi, A good friend of mine will be starting at Wright Tech's LPN Program starting in late Aug. and I was wondering if anyone who is in the program or who has recently graduated from it can tell me how much homework & studying time is needed each d...
Hi Msdeannah, If you want to retake Intermediate Algebra, the only place I would ever recommend you do this at would be Housatonic Community College and the only Professor to take the class w/is Arthur Cockerham who teaches this course only once per...

I would highly recommend considering St. Vincent's College ADN Program for many reasons. Firstly, it is the only program in all of the Southern CT area (or any area w/in a 75 mile radius from Norwalk) to offer a fully part-time schedule where you ta...

Attention....For anyone whose college bookstores are not releasing the ISBN #'s that is against the law. You have every right to ask for the Manager if you still have trouble w/any of the associates working at the store. The stores cannot hide the ...

I'll be taking A&P 1 and either Lifespan Development online (I hear the Prof. gives very difficult essay questions on each quiz) or Intro to Religion (on campus class) Can anyone tell me which of the two would be a better choice for the Fall? I...
My friend was just accepted to Wright Tech's LPN program to start in Sept. and she didn't even pass all the 3 parts of the NET! They really wanted her even though the reading comp grade was not high enough. The most important thing tha they were lo...

For Nam210 & LilQueenCMA, As FutureNurse35 stated, definitely only take a total of 15 credits at Housatonic or Gateway CC. You only want to take A&P and Micro at St. Vincent's. I will give you sound advice as to what classes to take this su...
