For our class we did the sheep heart, eyeball, cat, and then a cadaver. I would say the hardest for me was the cat, oddly enough. The cadaver was really strange at first... I couldn't get over the...
My school separated anatomy and physiology as well. Personally, I would take anatomy first - it orients you with the structures and functions of the body, so it's more natural shift into physiology...
I have 2 friends currently in the last stages at both programs. I've only heard positive things! Have you had a chance to meet with any faculty that will be teaching the classes at LBC? I don't think...
Haha, forest green is NOT your color?? Haha, it's not the greatest look :) I have no idea how many points I got in on (they wouldn't disclose that information) - I took a estimate and I was in the...
Congrats jens2010!! I just found this thread and was going to ask if you ever heard back from City or Grossmont. I got in to Grossmont based on the point system and was checking to see if anyone was...

Wow, congratulations!!! That is very exciting! Now you've got a deadline... Good thing is you have a nice little chunk of time to think about it and decide what's best for you. I suggest making a...
Wow, that's a tough one! On one hand, you don't want to commute 3 hours (plus possible traffic time) to school each day. That would eat up valuable time for work, studying, family, etc. Plus - not to...
Congrats JLChasteen & windmill182 - such a great feeling! :) I will be starting in the fall and now I just wish the first day of school would hurry up and get
First off, you really can't compare yourself to others because we all learn, process, and remember things differently. Secondly, sounds like you are having trouble with a few core concepts of nursing...
I start my first semester at Grossmont in August. Can't wait! Any tips for the summer leading up to the start? I'm going to study dosage calculations and brush up on my A&P - but wondering if...
Congratulations to jens2010 and emeraldstar - it is so nice to hear about other students getting into the nursing program! I am new to this site, but searched "grossmont" since that is where I applied...
