Haha yeah girl! I heard someone tell me that sociology is impossible to take online and it's like way harder? I've also heard students say sociology is a piece of cake and it would be fine to take online? So I was just asking for some opinions. Who knows, we should be fine though. I took psychology courses online before and had no trouble. Good luck :)

Exactly! Especially as summer courses. I figured I could knock credits out of the way, and not have to spend my summer cooped up in a class room. Thanks for your help :)

ok thank you :) I'm guessing it would be pretty simple - especially after taking AP1 and AP2? Anyone take Sociology online? I'm taking sociology and med terms online this summer. I just want to make sure I'm not giving myself a disadvantage? Opinions anyone?

Hey guys :) I'm thinking about taking medical terminology online this summer at Del Tech - It seems like it will be a pretty easy course. I already took AP 1 and 2, I just think it will be a nice Gpa boost if I do well in the course. Any experiences with online med terms? Thanks :) Hailey

Oh my gosh! Well thanks for the heads up :)

I'm jealous! I hate math - If only I had your math skills! Lol :) I've heard that stats can be horrible. I'm taking it at rio salado, the course is called intro to stats and it is actually a psychology related course. I heard that something like 54% of people who take the class ace it! The tests are all open book, apparently it really isn't bad at all at Rio. Although I've heard some stats classes are hell! Wish me luck!

You actually are very right. She said the major thing they look at is GPA, that's their biggest concern. Then she said they also look at your admissions exam (which can only be took once) and that is another thing they look at. She also said that we can supplement our application with an essay. I actually just emailed her last night and asked which GPA they looked at - she told me they always look at cumulative, and sometimes they just look at sciences. The only other piece of information I have is the average GPA for last years accepted students was a 3.5 and you are not looked at if you have below a 3.0 hmm?

I asked the head if the nursing dept - she said that when I apply, I will not yet have completed patho or chemistry 2. Chem 1 and micro are the easier classes out of that list - so I really hope I can pull of the grades. It makes me so nervous!

Thanks for responding back :) - we do get an interview when we apply to the program - average GPA accepted is a 3.5 - I talked to the head of the department, she said that they look at your overall GPA (all courses icluded) and sometimes they look at your specific science course GPA - I'm not completely sure about if they want recomendation letters or not. I do know they give you an option to send in a essay? Which is why I thought I should send in a letter or two as well. If the essay is optional I should send it in, correct? - I am not exactly sure how much the entrance exam counts towards admission. When I asked that, the nursing department told me it is taken into consideration? * I know I can get an A in stats this summer, but I really have no idea about this other math course. I know stats is the most important math for nursing, but having a C really worries me. Even if I re-took it, I feel like taking it a third time would look horrible! * I should definitely retake psych, correct? Thanks for your help :)

Wow - you couldn't have answered my question back at a better time! I'm currently studying for a AP2 exam on the urinary system! This test is killing me. I find this so boring and it is so much to memorize. Everything you said makes me want to keep pushing through and finish this chapter, even though I hate it with a passion :) one more question - How do you cope with losing patients an dealing with their families? Is it still as hard as it was in the beginning? Is it something you learn how to deal with? Are you taught about this in nursing school?

I'm happy I saw this post. A few weeks ago in AP2 lab, I had to listen for my partners heartbeat with a stethlescope and I was so upset because I couldn't hear anything and everyone else could (I was born with nerve damage in my ears) I'm glad to know there is a way around this!

what do you think is harder - all your nursing pre-reqs, or your work once you actually got accepted to clinicals? I've heard so many different answers! Some people say they though pre-reqs were hell, but once they started doing nursing classes, they loved it and it all came easy! Then I have heard other people say they miss pre-reqs and are having a hell of a time now that they are officially in the program. what do you think?

one more question (as if my last post wasn't long enough! haha) what do you guys think about applying to nursing school with recomendation letters? I volunteer at hospitals during the summer - do you think it would be better for me to get recomendation letters from my supervisors, or from my professors? thanks everyone :) have a good weekend!

Hey guys :) Alright - I am currently a freshman at Del Tech community college. Next year, I am transferring to Salisbury University in Maryland. Salisbury accepts student into the nursing program their junior year (thats when clinicals begin). Anyway, I'm transferring there as a sophomote next year and applying to the program - I know that it would make most sense for me to transfer there my junior year, that way I would only go there if I definitely got accepted to the nursing program - but my family is going through a really hard time right now, and honestly I don't think I will have a home here in Delaware next year, so my Dad and I decided me transfering to Salisbury this August is the best choice for me - just wanted to give you guys background information on why I'm transfering and all that :) Anyways - here it goes. I am doing well in school, but I'm constantly worrying about not making it in their nursing program. So I wanted to but my GPA up here and ask for your opinions. SUMMER 2010 - 1. General Psychology - 3 credits - B (* I got a B in this course and KNOW I could get an A. I missed the A by one point. do you think I should re-take it to boost my GPA?) FALL 2010 - 2. English Composistion - 3 credits - A 3. A&P 1 - 5 credits - B 4. Essentials of College Math - 4 credits - C ( * I know a C is not good at all! So I decided to re-take this course in the spring to go for a higher grade) SPRING 2011 - 5. A&P2 - 5 credits - B 6. Nutrition - 3 credits - A 7. U.S. History Post Civil War -3 credits - A 8. Human Developmental Psychology -3 credits - A 9. Essentials of College Math - 4 credits - RE-Take ... still a C ( * I'm so angry with this class! I am retaking it this semester to get a higher grade and I really just don't think it is going to happen. It is so frustrating and I feel like I wasted my time re-taking for most likely, the same grade) - I know spring semester isn't over yet - but I know for sure I will get the above grades in all my classes. Math is the only one I am questioning: I know I will atleast get a C, possibly a B, but most likely not SUMMER 2011 - 10. Statistics - 3 credits - A 11. Sociology - 3 credits - A - This semester obviously hasn't started yet, haha; but I am expecting an A in both of those courses. I am taking statistics at Rio Salado (online) and it is apparently very easy and all open book exams, so I should be fine for that course. - Sociology is apparently an easy course, I will study hard and I am confident I can get the A. So here are my questions! Where do you guys think I stand right now? Do you think I have a good shot getting in? That C in Math worries me so much ;( Do you think I should re-take psychology for an A? or do you think it would look bad to re-take it? I just know that I can get the A in that course. General Psych is a simple course, and I know I can re-take it for an A. Next year at Salisbury I have to take the following courses: Chem 1, Micro, Chem 2, Patho. Chem 1 and Micro are in the Fall (I apply for the program right before finishing the Fall semester) Chem 2 and Patho are in the Spring (because they are in the Spring, and I find out if I am accepted to the program before I start these courses - I am not even sure if the nursing dept will look at these courses or how that works) - - - - - I am sorry for typing a novel! I just really want an opinion! None of my friends seem to understand how important GPA's are for nursing. They are all business, criminal justice, etc majors and GPA isnt as important for them. So I thought I'd try asking on here. Thanks for your help guys, I really appreciate and feedback/advice you can give :) Goodluck everyone! :redbeathe

Frontier school of midwifery and family nursing, correct?

Great! Final question :) what is the course title? MTH1131?

Great! Did you feel that the 8 weeks was cramming a lot of information in? Or did you feel that it was do-able? Also, do you recieve grades for homework? Or are your only two grades the midterm and final? One more question - does Rio Salado need exams to be proctored? Or are they just taken at home? I really appreciate your help :)

Great! Everyone I talk to about online courses says that Rio Salado is the best! So how many homework assignments are there? Are the tests timed? So are the only 2 grades you recieve for the course the midterm and final? - Which are online, taken at home, and unproctored? Sorry for all the questions! I'm just having a realy difficult time deciding where to take the online stats course this Summer. I'm traveling a lot this summer, so I'm trying to find a online course that is completely done from home, and I don't want to have to worry about getting proctors and all that! Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it :) Goodluck with your course!

Great! Can you tell me about the course format? Was there a lot of homework? How many exams? How long ago did you take it? Sorry for all the questions - I'm just having a hard time deciding which online program to choose! Thanks for your help!

Hey guys :) do you know if they offer a stats class with no proctored exams?

Does anyone know of an online stats class with no proctored exams? I'm traveling a lot this summer and looking for a course where everything is done online, tests, quizzes, final, etc? Any suggestions? thanks :)

I know I'm answering this back kinda late... 4 years haha But I have a question about the stats course - was the entire thing online? tests, quizzes, everything? I'm trying to find an online course - a lot of the ones I keep finding require proctored exams! and I am traveling A LOT this summer, so totally online would work much better for me. thanks for the help :)

question about that! I am looking at Rio Salado's stats class right now - what was the format of the class? How many weeks did it take to complete? & was everything done online? homework, tests, quizzes, final? thanks :) & congrats on the A !!

hey guys :) I'm looking for an online stats course too - I've found a ton so far! However, do you guys know any stats courses that are entirely online? As in homework, quizzes, tests, final, everything? thanks so much! goodluck!

quick question - I am looking for an online stats class right now. Were the stats courses you guys took entirely online? including the tests, midterm, and final?
