live learn grow

hi jules, i read a few of your post and would love to ask you a few quick questions. i am from baltimore md, and this summer i fulfilled all of my general requirements for a bsn. i am hoping to start applying soon to schools in my area both community colleges and universities. my question to you is since you started as a lpn do you recommend that i start as a lpn and bridge over? do you think that would make my chances greater for being accepted to the rn program in this area? i currently work at hopkins but i am not in a patient care position i work in finance. even though i may to take a pay cut as a lpn i am willing to do so to get out of finance. i attempted nursing classes back in my twenties but never applied to any nursing schools since i was not focused at the time. now i am in my early 30's, single parent to one daughter and hope to get started on this journey soon. i am even willing to go to schools in dc or pennsylvania to get the ball rolling. if you have any advice it would be great! regards, live learn grow :)

no i haven't heard of her.. you may want to check ratemyprofessor.com and see if she is listed on their site. i refer to this site every semester and have yet to be steered wrong thus far..they are usually right on point as far as the ratings of the professors..i'm surprised iweha isn't teaching it online in the fall he is the head of the science dept so maybe he has too much going on..

Hi ASPNURSE, If you are taking A&P II you should take Dr. Iweha.. He is very good as I took him on-line and received a "B" if I wasnt taking so many classes at once im sure I could have obtained an "A". Professor Ward is good as well.. Love him!

I ended up receiving an "A" I was so HAPPY!!!! I am so glad its over though she was a huge headache for me..

thenameismac..I am having the same concerns. we are thinking alike lately;)

Thanks! that really helps a lot. I hope I pass the next two. I really do not want to take this class again.. Literally everything has to be in APA format. According to my GPA Coppin will be my best choice if pursuing a Bachelors which is what I would prefer to do. I am going to apply to both BCCC Spring 2012 and Coppin Fall 2012 program. Oh and thanks so much for the Chemistry instructor info I hope they will offer classes this summer:w00t: everyone has been telling me how hard it is in which I was :chair: nervous as heck! I have to get accepted in 2012.. I have been praying about this for a long time.

how did you like aacc? i was thinking about applying to their nursing program but heard that you have to be in county in order to be accepted?? i am also thinking about staying at bccc or applying to coppin. my gpa will determine that decision. do you have any pre req classes remaining? i still have to take chemistry which i plan on doing in the summer as well as statistics and i will be done. i enjoyed psy 101 as well and passed without any problems. the professor sarcasm as well as the fact that she is so unorganized is what really gets under my skin at times. i assumed that this would be a breeze and a better way to boost my gpa since i did well with psy 101. i don't know how this will turn out now. i have grown to ignore and avoid her as much as possible. i keep saying to myself that this is only temporary..we will run across co-workers and more teachers that have major issues that we cannot control. i enjoyed the virtual child as well and received a 100 on that assignment. i doubt she will dock you since you did complete it on time. did you understand the developmental assignment?

thenameismac, Its sad to say I believe we have the same teacher right now. I will not name HER on here but trust and believe I am going through the same thing with her on-line class and she is by far one of the worst I have came up against at this school. I will be so happy to get out of this school when I am done. I had a math female teacher that must have been her twin last semester. I have went to the president as well as others to report this behavior nothing is ever done. I only continue to go since it is reasonably priced and the closest to my place of work. People will assume whatever since they do not go to this school nor live in Baltimore. Please check out ratemyprofessor.com and you will see it is others that experienced this as well. Good luck to you. I wonder if we are in the same on-line class.. I am glad to hear that you are improving in her class. She just failed me on my first developmental paper that she took 4 weeks to grade, with a million inconsistencies as far as format. Syllabus stated APA style, developmental paper stated something else. I emailed her 4 times she never responded. So to cover my tail I emailed her both APA as well as developmental style format and she failed me and stated that I did not follow directions. lol I am glad I passed everything else. I HATE THIS CLASS. I received an "A" in Psy 101 and loved it so NO it isnt "US" she is making it complicated with her inconsistencies, rude responses as well as disorganized class.
