    AP tests and Community CollegesAnyone

    HikingNinja replied to Sarah LnDHopes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Same thing happened to me with an English 101 class. I went through the process (which took forever, it was something like 6 weeks before AP got my transcript to my school because it was archived)....

    HikingNinja replied to TnKzMom's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I'm currently attending NSC, prenursing major and will apply for Fall 2007. I have a friend who is in the accelerated nursing program there as well right now. I chose NSC for a couple of reasons. I...

    University of Southern Nevada

    HikingNinja replied to sarkel's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Yes, USN is very expensive and hasn't received its national accreditation yet. As for nursing prereq's all of the programs out here require that you complete them first before being accepted into the...

    Hi all, I haven't been on here in awhile. Been really busy with work and school. I'm finally ready to apply. I've been finishing up my prereq's in a combination of methods. Online Micro, A&PII,...

    Online course...Yay or Nay?

    HikingNinja replied to MrsBradyMom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree. I also love online/distance learning courses. You just have to be organized and disciplined to do the work. Have you looked at taking this class online at another college if your advisor...

    HikingNinja replied to stevesohiorn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would just CLEP it if I were you. I am. I just need to CLEP it before I start my program in fall. I took a look at the study guide and it is really easy and CLEP tests are cheap. I would...

    Anyone applying to nursing school right now?

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    That sounds really promising. I called NSC last week and the secretary said the regular class of Spring 06 had a 74% pass rate so you accelerated guys must have really helped out that rate or perhaps...

    HikingNinja replied to kimhaw's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Try rio salado community college online. I took my chem there. It has a lab with assignments you do at home and post results for (they send you a lab kit). Or check the sticky's in this forum....

    Online Science Courses

    HikingNinja replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just find it completely odd that some schools won't accept science classes that have an online or hybrid lab. In many cases these classes are more rigorous and in depth than traditional classes....

    They make me feel like a failure

    HikingNinja replied to iriska_meller's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Had to put my 2 cents in here. I've gotten this attitude before and its either coming from one of two things. One - the individual is just a horse's a** or two - the person has a preconcieved notion...

    Anyone applying to nursing school right now?

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Not sure if anyone is interested but I just talked to Touro and they said that their first class had a pass rate of 75%, not too shabby. Of course that's with a class of 8. They said they give their...

    Ccsn-waiting Lists??

    HikingNinja replied to buffalowing81's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CCSN double their admissions?! I don't see how they can do that without aggressively hiring more instructors (ranked #1 on nevada's endangered species list!). Someone earlier in the thread asked...

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Mike, Congrats on getting in at UNLV. Yes, I know about the horrible first year pass rates at NSC. But it appears they are trying to correct this and I have also been told that it can take a few...

    This is my exact situation! I have a BA and MS in psych and I am applying to a couple of different programs in my geographical area. They both want you to have your prereq's done though and its...

    Why do you want to be a nurse?

    HikingNinja replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone applying to nursing school right now?

    HikingNinja replied to HikingNinja's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Mike, All of them were preapproved by NSC's DON before I even took them. I brought them the complete syllabus which included a very detailed description of the lab section. Also, on the transcript...

    HikingNinja replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm really not sure how to read that comment. I hate it when people seem to indicate two different things like that. It's so unfair and it really messes with your head. On the one hand she could...

    Sistermike, The online micro class through Rio Salado is so cool. It has this interactive software that you use to complete labs. It's hard to explain. I took several prerequisite sciences through Rio...
