    jocy_anne replied to meglet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have any first-hand experience yet, but I just signed up for a summer Micro class at my CC that's 8 weeks long, so I wanted to jump in here. I took A&P I last summer during a 5-week...

    jocy_anne replied to mc0306's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if your school is like mine (I'm from NJ and the school I'm applying to is in PA), but we're required to take either two semesters of Gen Chem or one semester of Gen Chem and one semester...

    jocy_anne replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  8. Prerequisite Question

    jocy_anne replied to NikkiT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Prerequisite Question

    jocy_anne replied to NikkiT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jocy_anne replied to pinkmittens03's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jocy_anne replied to PITTgal's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Ok, so I'm tempted to call the admissions office again, and need someone to talk me out of it, lol. I've never actually spoken to Niki over the phone, but I've sent her a couple e-mails recently and...
