  4. Anyone Applying to Antelope Valley College RN program

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to munkeyann's topic in California Nursing

    The dean always pushes for as many seats as possible. Our base was 60 students, but I believe we took in 71 total. Back in my pre-req days, the base was 80 students a semester. Students were waiting...

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to munkeyann's topic in California Nursing

    Quick question. There are so many rumors regarding AVC's nursing program, but the most recent I've heard is that they've reduced their base acceptance number for Fall of 2011 to 40 students!! Has...

  6. Anyone Applying to Antelope Valley College RN program

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to munkeyann's topic in California Nursing

    This is true. There are a few students in my class who were literally called two weeks before the program started to see if they wanted to take spots that were reserved for students that didn't follow...

  7. Where Do You Study???

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, dear. This is exactly why i packed my bags and left the bay area. colleges were way too impacted when it came to the nursing program. have you thought about working on your transfers and...

  10. Slowly starting pre-req's-Dont make my mistakes!

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to MissMcCoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always tell high school kids that high school is only hard because YOU make it that way. Looking back, high school SHOULD have been a cake walk, but like you I was more concerned with boys and,...

  11. Things to do before the real stuff begins

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to ams24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stay on top of your anatomy, especially physiology. Also, my CC offers a credit/no credit course in dosage calculations and math for nurses. Maybe you can find similar courses in your area. Wouldn't...

  12. Going for ADN - take BSN courses now or later?

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    MY CC's ADN program had a wait of at least 2 semesters, sometimes three. I didn't want to sit around and twiddle my thumbs while I waited to be accepted, so I used that time to work on transfer...

    I've asked my family to donate to my first semester of nursing school fund. So note to the wise pre-nursing student, start saving your pennies

  15. Im living in the Lancaster CA area and I need a job as an LVN!!!!!

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to dana1217's topic in California Nursing

    Antelope Valley = major saturation of nurses. Period. There's like a career/tech school on every block in that area! Not only that, but there isn't much work out there. I've heard that Antelope...

  16. Help me with my SERIOUS situation...

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to jsw1031's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school has a similar requirement. I had a friend who did not make the 2.5 and was given a 'challenge form' from the nursing sciences office. He basically challenged their required GPA, gave a...

  17. Anatomy or Physio harder...taking seperate.

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Online classes aren't easier per-say, but they do give you some slack to work with as far you schedule works out. It's important to be self disciplined if you decide to take online courses. I've had...

  18. BioChemistry or Microbiology over the summer

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to jtboog2003's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My counselor actually told me it was suicide to take micro during the summer, but fear not! I did it 2 summers ago and here I am, alive and well. :) The schedule was intense! I was on campus...

  19. Anatomy or Physio harder...taking seperate.

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my school anatomy and physiology were two separate classes as well, but one had to complete anatomy before they could take physiology. Anyways, it all depends on you. I am extremely good at...

  20. anyone else experience burnout before nursing school?

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to oklahomagal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to melissa1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jenn + Math = all bad. lol To put it in perspective, my school's nursing program requires the completion of Math 102 (intermediate algebra) to graduate with your ADN. I started in Math 60, then 70,...

  22. Discouraged....

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to BSNBound!'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, I remember this all to well, but perhaps I had it easier since I started school when my son was about 18 months. Either way, I understand the difficulty of being a mother AND a diligent student. I...

  23. Statistics online? good/bad idea?

    jennlaVICIOUS replied to eharper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took stats in a regular classroom setting, but honestly, that class was cake. The actual math is basic. There's just new terminology to learn as well as simple formulas. You also learn how to...
