  1. How does the waiting list process work?

    Sizzline replied to iselamunoz_13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems to be dependent on your school. At my current school (community college), you have to request each semester to be placed on the list for consideration. If you don't do that, in writing, you...

  2. Buy nursing books from School bookstore or other websites?!

    Sizzline replied to a0646504's topic in General Students

    I always check Bigwords.com before anything else. It lets you search by ISBN and tells you the cheapest place to rent and buy each book. I have often found my textbooks for less than Amazon, even...

  3. MOMS: how many credit hours do you take?

    Sizzline replied to mrsbech05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I was working full-time with one child, I only took one class of prereqs per semester. Now I am a stay-at-home mom of a 4.5 year old and a 15 month old. I take 12-15 credits a semester, and have...

  4. how much hire level math is required for nursing?

    Sizzline replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my ADN program, you need Statistics, which has a prerequisite of College Algebra, so those two at a minimum. A lot of other students in my class didn't place into College Algebra with the...

  5. Online vs. In class?

    Sizzline replied to BSNMeme2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would personally not take any of those classes online. My school doesn't accept any lab science classes in online form, and I have taken Statistics online. HUGE mistake. I found a lot of the...

  6. What pre-req classes are factored?

    Sizzline replied to Jonahyona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That really depends on your school. I am currently attending a community college for my ADN; they look at all of your prerequisites: English, history, psychology, everything. I have also applied for...

  7. TDAP TITER....HELP!

    Sizzline replied to yasunique's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school only accepts titers for the varicella and MMR vaccines. Anything else has to have proof of actual

  8. Keeping Calm, and Question AP 2

    Sizzline replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree as well. I took A&P1 in spring 2012, then had to withdraw from A&P2 in the fall 2012 semester due to severe pregnancy complications. I didn't take it again until fall 2013, and it was...

  9. Need help!

    Sizzline replied to dharmainitiative's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your college require any prerequisites for any of those? At my school, they don't require Bio 1 & 2, but the two A&Ps and Microbiology need to be taken one after the other, as each is a...

  10. Do I need to buy digital access code for chemistry book?

    Sizzline replied to bearbearkim's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that is really going to depend on your teacher/class. I was required to buy an access code for A&P1, A&P2, and Microbiology. We didn't use it once in A&P1. In A&P2, we had...

  11. Final Grades for Spring'14

    Sizzline replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Microbiology: A Statistics: A- Nutrition: A- Health of the Aging (elective):

  12. ADN with BA

    Sizzline replied to dcwang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure about other schools, but it is not possible at mine. The ADN program is 5 semesters: spring and fall of the first year, then spring, summer, and fall of the second year. Each semester's...

  13. How much education do you plan on receiving?

    Sizzline replied to daetor2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am planning on getting my ADN first, then doing an online RN-to-BSN program right away through a state 4-yr school. No one really hires ADNs around

  14. Applying to ASN and BSN programs at the same time

    Sizzline replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am doing this for the spring 2015 semester. It is two different schools, though; each one has a separate entrance exam, so I am taking both of those. My GPA is about a 3.6, maybe a little higher. I...

  15. Microbiology

    Sizzline replied to Mdrew's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second this site. I found it incredibly helpful in my Microbiology class. I passed with an A when the class average was barely a

  16. A quick question regarding ADN programs

    Sizzline replied to osi2011's topic in General Students

    My ADN program is five semesters: spring, fall, spring, summer, fall. The first summer, there are no classes, but there are during the second summer

  17. Anyone else waiting to start RN program?

    Sizzline replied to LifeIsGood76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a similar boat, although my wait isn't as long as yours. I've finished all of my prerequisites for my ADN program, but there is such a backlog of students that I won't be starting clinicals...

  18. Is this a realistic course load?

    Sizzline replied to jnichox2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For me, taking A&P1 and Stats in the same semester would have been disastrous. I struggled a lot with both of them, and spent hours each day on each of them. I think it depends on what comes...

  19. nursing school acceptance procedure

    Sizzline replied to EmanuelDarce's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school (and all of the surrounding nursing schools in my area) require a physical, blood titers to show immunization levels, and sign-off by a physician before clinicals

  20. How was microbiology for you? Grade for you? Topics covered?

    Sizzline replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Micro was the last prereq I needed, and my favorite class that I have taken so far. It was so interesting, and I found the labs to be fun and intriguing! I got an A. My teacher did less A&P-style...

  21. Need a Chemistry refresher

    Sizzline replied to Ramcharger310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll be interested to see replies to this. I am taking chemistry in the fall, and I really struggled with it in high school. Then again, I also struggled with biology in high school, and wound up...

  22. Pre-Nursing MOMS Unite!

    Sizzline replied to ASN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I am 32, a full-time student and SAHM to 2 girls, ages 1 and 4. It has definitely been a challenge to balance school/kids/housework, but I am making it work. I finished my last prerequisite...

  23. Can i still make it even though i got a c in a&p?

    Sizzline replied to melikay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am at a 3.65 after this past semester, done with all of my

  24. Can i still make it even though i got a c in a&p?

    Sizzline replied to melikay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a C in A&P1, then pulled it together and got As in both A&P2 and Microbiology. I've been accepted for the spring 2015 start date at my school. My overall GPA is very

  25. A&P 1

    Sizzline replied to jm4356's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely retake A&P 1, and plan on not being able to apply for transfer as quickly as you had hoped. If A&P1 was hard for you, I would recommend not taking more than one science...
