  1. I am almost positive that information literacy has to be taken via Excelsior for all their degree programs now. The rest can (probably, check with them) be taken anywhere. I transferred in my A&P...
  2. Summer Classes a Good Idea?

    I think it's fine to take summer classes. I took an A&P class last semester as an 8 week class and while it was pretty intense, it knocked it out quickly and in some ways I think it was better...
  3. Help!!! A&P has started!!!!!!

    Yes, flash cards! I stopped making them towards the end of A&P 1 because I wasn't sure how much they were helping, and my grade dropped. And ask your teacher what information will be covered on...
  4. Hello! I'm trying to get into Nova's nursing program, but I'm not sold on it, and I'm not sure if we're going to stay in the area for the full 3 years it'll take me to get through the program. I'm...
  5. You are smart enough! I hope you have a great
  6. Non-nursing Bachelors to ADN

    The other thing to consider, if you're wanting to go further in your education, is that many master's programs will accept you if you have an ADN + BA/BS- so you might be able to go straight from ADN...
  7. LPN to RN Program at NVCC, VA

    I took Bio 141 online as an 8 week class. It went really well, they give you all the materials you need to succeed. I was signed up for Bio 142, but dropped it last minute since we had to list our...
  8. Yes, bail. A D will look worse than a W. People withdraw for all sorts of reasons, it doesn't have to be because you're not doing
  9. A&P - Lecture exams v. Lab Practicals

    I do great on the labeling, but have a harder time with
  10. Non classroom nursing school setting?

    Diploma programs give you more clinical hours, and there are hybrid programs where you can do didactic learning online, and clinicals in
  11. Run away from him. I don't have to know you to know you're worth better treatment. Little newsflash for him- child support isn't
  12. I've talked to lots of admissions people, and the general consensus is that new grades matter much more than old ones. The schools that look at your older GPA almost exclusively seem to be public, so...
  13. Help Finding a School

    Apply at Chamberlain, they don't require any
  14. What? Really?

    Being in charge really isn't that fun, and it certainly won't help your social life. Any position (I'm not a nurse yet) where you are in charge of your coworkers is tough. I never liked being...
  15. I'm going to the be dissenter and say that while I haven't taken physio yet, I really really like taking 8 week classes. It's condensed, but if you only take 1-2 classes at a time, you're able to...
  16. It does get harder. Partially because things get more complicated, but also because you start having to rely on the previously learned information. And if you didn't learn it well the first time, it's...
  17. Holly, I think you should just continue with the RN program. You were doing well in it, and confidence will come with practice. I think the LPN program is a fine choice, but if you know you want to be...
  18. Can you talk to a department head and see if they will let you advance? If you tell them how determined you are sometimes they will waive pre-reqs.
  19. Your GPA isn't really that bad. I wouldn't even consider academic forgiveness, I'd just do your best and try to get As in all pre-reqs. I think you have a fighting
  20. Pre-nursing student

    I think you need to have a heart to heart with your husband. It's important that you both support each other. And I do think nursing can be a family oriented career- many places you can do three,...
  21. How do you study with a baby?!?

    I have to agree with a previous poster who said that a schedule is key. Get your baby on a regular napping schedule, and study then. Study on the floor while the baby plays, and while the baby is...
  22. Yeah, those cars are yours. They're titled in your name, you own them. Congrats!!! Your ex is a jerk, and he's screwing you. Those kids are his too- it's not baby sitting, it's called PARENTING. I'd...
  23. Here's what I'm doing- I made a graph of pre-reqs, and I'm taking the ones that fulfill requirements for the most programs for the Spring. And then I will finish over the summer session, depending of...
  24. I got into the Nursing Program!!!

    Congratulations!
  25. NVCC pre-reqs-which classes are you taking?

    I'm doing the Bio route rather than NAS. It just transfers so much better! Has NVCC changed their requirements on the Micro? When I called in August, they still weren't sure if the nursing program was...
