So one of the prerequisites before I can apply for the nursing program is to take either Gen Chem or College Chem. Does anyone happen to know the difference b/w the two?

Hi All! Well next week I will be going back to school after 6 years of being MIA from college because I want a career change. Obviously I will be going for nursing. Is there any one else here on the board that will be starting classes as well for the...

Hi everyone. Does anyone know the application deadline for the school? I would like to try for Fall of this year but I'm not sure if it's too late to apply. I should be completed with all my pre-req's by end of this spring semester but I've heard som...

]]Hi Everyone, So I will be starting classes for the first time next Tuesday after being out of the college scene since 2002. So far I will be taking my prerequisites (Eng 101, Psych 101, and Elem. Algebra). I know I have a long ways to go until I ...

Got my final grade for Chem class and ended up with a B. Considering my professor was awful and I taught myself everything, I'm pretty proud of the turn out. I'm mailing off my nursing school application tomorrow and now I will spend the rest of my s...

Hi All! Today was my last day for summer class (Gen Chem). It was one of the most brutal tests I have taken so far. I am finally done and can breathe a sigh of relief. I have to wait for my final grade which will be released on Thursday and then I ca...

My last day for my summer class will be next Monday the 18th. So far we had our first exam 2 weeks ago on the first 6 chapters and I came out of it with a B. Chem class drives me crazy especially since it's fast paced but I'm luckily hanging on. This...

Not old at all! I am in the same boat as you. I'm turning 29 in 2 months. This summer semester I'm just finishing my pre-requisites and applying to hopefully get in to the evening program in January of 2013 so I most likely won't be done with my A.A....

I'm on my second week of summer class for Chem 101. I'm still trying to grasp conversions while doing all the chapters at a high speed. I feel a little behind but I know I will eventually get it. I've been cramming like crazy to get through the class...

I wouldn't retake it. I got a C+ as my final grade due to personal issues affecting my school work. I would just do better in A&P 2 and study everything you learned from the class again. I'm going to spend my time this summer going over notes on ...

This will probably be the last check in for me - we had our final exam on Monday. A&P is now done for me until this fall when I take A&P II. The final was 50 questions, multiple choice strictly on the CNS, PNS, brain structure and functions....

I will be 29 in a few months and I just started my pre-req's to hopefully get into the nursing program next year. Believe me, it's never too late. You are super young to do the degree you are trying to do now and then get into the ASN program later o...

Well, everyone is different. Each person will handle the pace in their own way. It might be overwhelming at first but you have to figure out how to manage it. Many people here in the forums are taking 2-3 summer classes on top of working or other res...

Starting next week I will be taking General Chem for summer session and I'm very hopeful for it. It all depends on how dedicated you are. I will have plenty of time for it since I'm not working so it's perfect. I was out of school for a little over 8...

Tonight was our last ever lecture night. We ended the class with Chapter 12, which is the Central Nervous System - stopped it at the blood brain barrier and just reviewed the last two chapters for the final. Monday will be our final exam and I will b...

Currently I have A&P 2 scheduled for Fall but if I get into the nursing program near my home, then I will be starting the official nursing classes. *crossing fingers*

Update: My class is now winding down. We just need to read one chapter and the semester is over. We had an open book exam this past Monday and let me tell you, that was one of the hardest exams thus far. Everyone in my class was expecting it to be gr...

Update: Next Monday is our third exam. It will include bone/muscle tissue, the skeleton, joints, and muscle tissue. On Wednesday we finally did dissection as our professor would rather us dissect closer to the end of classes so we know what we're loo...

I'm applying to two schools. The college I'm currently attending has an ADN program that will start in January 2013 but all pre-reqs need to be done before Summer II sessions and another school is right near me and they have rolling admission so I'm ...

I'm taking College Chemistry (Chem 101) from Monday thru Thursday. Two lab days, two lecture days from 1pm-4pm. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Classes start April 30th and end June 18th.

Hey everyone! Doing my check in for this semester. I had my bone practical today. Our professor gave us only 2 weeks to study 140 bones and get the spelling correctly for the exam. I've had a lot of things going on in my personal life so it was hard ...

So it's my 4th class in and we're already on Chapter 3. It's been over 10 years since I've been back in school but is this normal? I feel like our professor is rushing through this course. He has breezed through a chapter each class with the exceptio...

Thanks everyone for the posts. I still feel like I'm swimming in the first 3 chapters alone but I am trying not to get my anxiety get the best of me. Unfortunately I realized note taking was my weakness. It was taking me HOURS to write notes and I fi...

Thank you :) I've spent literally all morning and now afternoon catching up on all three chapters to get ready for tomorrows class. I think because my first semester was a breeze with the easier pre-req's, I didn't really expect to get hit this quick...

Does anyone know where clinicals are being held if you get into the nursing program? I do not drive and rely on public transportation so I'd like to get a rough estimate of where clinicals are so I can plan accordingly.
