  1. Denver area community college for pre-reqs wanted

    Boxer Mama replied to nelley87's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am currently taking classes at Front Range in Westminster. The school has been working very hard to "up" the level of their programs and have some really wonderful teachers. My classes are...

  2. Summer A&P II check in

    Boxer Mama replied to Boxer Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just wanted to see how everyone is doing. First test is history and thankfully I got an A, but that was a crazy amount of studying! I am averaging about 4 hours of studying per day and some days...

  3. School

    Boxer Mama replied to Andrewboch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC that I am currently taking classes at has both an ADN and LPN progam and they all require prereq classes. I really do not think there is a way around that. Also, those classes are used as...

  4. Advice for maintaining a 4.0 taking an 18 credit course load while working?

    Boxer Mama replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree you might want to maybe rethink taking all the classes at once. Bio was a prereq for the A&P since the A&P class was taught under the assumption you already understood the biology...

  5. Pre-class study ideas for A&P?

    Boxer Mama replied to Jessily's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree to email your teacher and see what he/she is going to cover. I know in A&P I we did not cover any of the biology chapters and just had a packet on the info. But, I know students in...

  6. Could use some advice please!!

    Boxer Mama replied to lmattera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree option 3 is just not a good one. You could do option 1 or 2. If possible, I would work towards the BSN. Even though you may want to start working sooner than later, positions for ADNs are...

  7. Where to take prerequisite classes?

    Boxer Mama replied to barbizzle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking my classes at a CC because it is just cheaper, but make sure your school classes will transfer to the school where you are taking your nursing program. I like my CC because the classes...

  8. Waitlist length & what to do while waiting

    Boxer Mama replied to jenden's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I also heard that the last class or two from the waitlist might be mixed with some competative students as well to make the numbers work out. Keep checking the website for updated information since...

  9. Doesn't an ADN take 3-4 years?

    Boxer Mama replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am at a CC and it would take around 3-4 years to finish the ADN. There are 5 specific prereq classes to apply to the program, but that does not account for the prereq classes needed to take the...

  10. Another male nurse maybe

    Boxer Mama replied to Theguest2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree we need more men in the nursing field!!!

  11. I'm finally finished!

    Boxer Mama replied to sKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!! That must be an amazing feeling!!! Good

  12. A&P 1 what would you do?

    Boxer Mama replied to southphilly_chic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree it depends on your school. My school that I am working to get into is going to a competative program, so I am not sure a "C" would cut it for admission. There will be many applicants that...

  13. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    Boxer Mama replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One lecture to go on Monday to finish up senses and then the lecture and lab tests on Wednesday and then I have 27 days off until A&P II

  14. I don't get it

    Boxer Mama replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    I would not let him bother you. I am still working towards my classes to apply to an ADN program, knowing full well that I will immediately have to get into an RN-BSN program after that. I really...

  15. I'm interested in nursing but not sure...

    Boxer Mama replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like the previous posts, and also not wanting to sound harsh, I agree maybe nursing school is not for you right now and maybe a BA where you can bridge to a BSN might be a better way to start. I...

  16. Got my acceptance letter today!

    Boxer Mama replied to ShesAcuteNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!!!!

  17. I got in!!

    Boxer Mama replied to MedTrans68's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!! I am a current MT and working until I get into school. Good luck!!!!!

  18. Are there any a&p tutors, or study buddies on this forum?

    Boxer Mama replied to MsFutureNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is very hard to tell you exactly what to study for since every teacher focuses on different sections. My teacher will only test on things that he has lectured on, but I know other teachers the...

  19. I'm not getting in :(

    Boxer Mama replied to Jennifer425RN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sorry. I am sure you will get into the next start. Just keep taking it one day at a

  20. my fellow pre-req students

    Boxer Mama replied to GodsSon128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have written this post. I have three kids, so right now I can only take one night class at a time. I just registered for my summer semester (A&P II), so it is my fourth semester since...

  21. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    Boxer Mama replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Five lecture classes to go. We have been stalling on the cat dissection and have been successful until our next class. We finished nerves, started the brain and then still have three more chapters...

  22. OK sorry everyone

    Boxer Mama replied to SnowPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope you can take my comments to heart and really think about them, as they will probably come off as cold, but you need to take responsibility for your actions and change your behavior. By saying...

  23. What to take in the summer

    Boxer Mama replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would check the college schedule to see when the classes are meeting. I am taking A&P II this summer and the class meets 3 days a week. I am hoping to get into the class that meets from 8-11...

  24. What classes are you taking in the Fall 2012?

    Boxer Mama replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will be taking microbiology (last class before I apply to the nursing program)! I might also be taking nutrition, but I will take it online. Nutrition depends on whether or not I get a scholarship...

  25. Which path to choose?

    Boxer Mama replied to ginaw623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems like you have a good plan and you have thought it through. It is wise to not take on 60K in debt to add on top of what you have. If there is not a huge rush to get the BSN, then it sounds...
