I am a new student at LCCC classes start this summer (2012) I will be applying for the nursing program after I finish my Chemistry this summer. I already have a BA in Child development, so this will be my second degree. I have read the wait list is p...

Sorry I meant no way I'd get in for spring 2014.

Well that doesn't make any sense. I applied in August of 2012. I have a 3.7 GPA and I only have Micro left to take. (I broke my classes up because i didn't want to sit for an entire year with no classes to take) And was told there's no way I'll be ge...

I'm also interested in this program and would appreciate any feedback.

The CSU accelerated program gives you a BSN after 15 months, NOT an ADN. I'm considering the program myself. I could potentially shave a year or two off my total school time by going that route

I do have 2 kids. And want another baby. So after talking to advisors and reading stuff on here, I've decided LCCC is the route. I can't dedicate 40hrs a week to classes and clinicals, raise my kids, take care of a house, and still have time to study...

Sorry actually the website is transfer.org/uselect

Go to u.select.com it's a transfer courses website. You can find what classes will transfer where. It's a little difficult to navigate, but very helpful. But it doesn't tell you if they will take a similar course in replacement of a required course....

Didn't know they have a part-time option. Either way I'm sure you'll do great!

I have 2 children (9 & 2) and I'm starting my pre-req's for nursing. I already have a BA in another field (did that when the 9 yo was 2-7). Kids are a lot of work, but really other than lack of sleep the first few weeks/months/(17 months for my s...

I want to register for Fall classes while I'm at it. Any recommendations for A&P I or Micro professors?? Is it a bad idea to take those both together??

What professor did you have?

Yeah, I'm normally an A student. Math is a sore spot for me, but most people say that stats isn't like normal math. I'm also taking chemistry online. I don't work, and I have kids, but I'll have plenty of time to get the work done during nap time, ea...

Question: I'm registered for chemistry and statistics online courses this summer. I heard from someone that stats is really hard to take online. Any input??

I wish they had a pre-nursing class that you could take before you get into the program. To weed out the people who realize half way thru their first semester that nursing isn't for them. Because once a seat is taken its taken. And I've heard of peop...

And the advisers told me the wait list is 461. Ouch! Then again, I wonder how many of those people have gotten accepted into other schools, or pursued other avenues and just never bothered to call and have their name taken off the list.

No, I didn't take chemistry in high school. But even if I had that was 13 years ago, so I'm sure it would be outdated. LOL. Man I feel old!

Well I can't apply until I complete Chemistry this summer. I'll be cutting it close. Last day of class is July 29. Deadline to apply is August 4th. Enjoy your summer off! And let us know how the program is going!

Wantccu: congrats on getting into the program! And good luck. I too, have kids. Which is why LCCC is so appealing! And we want one more. So I'll have to try and squeeze that in somewhere. Lol. I'm starting my pre-Reqs this summer. And of everything g...

I have thought about the Accelerated Program, but the intensity scares me. I have 2 children and I'm concerned how many hours I'll be away. I asked the advisers how many hours a week the program is on average, one told me 40 hours, the other said s...

@NicuGal. Does that mean that employers look at BSNs differently based on whether or not you went for a straight 4 year degree or the ADN then RN-BSN route?

ScottE. Are you in the generic or accelerated track?

I'm gonna call Tri-C tomorrow and see what my options are. I like having a back up plan. I know I'll have to pay childcare. But at LCCC it's $2.50/hr for students. That's really cheap. Not sure if that's available for clinicals or not. But still it e...

I would love to do an accelerated program. In fact I called CSUs program 1st. But unfortunately it's 45 minutes away. I was told its 5 days a week. Full time (40 hours) and VERY intense, not sure when I would study with all that time plus 2 hours a d...
