  1. Online intro to chem/biology ap 1&2/ microbio

    Halcyonn replied to Kgoins225's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked at the classes offered at your local CC? My CC offers online sciences w/virtual labs with most of the nursing pre-reqs. As far as proctored exams, I am almost positive that is at the...

  2. Chemistry and I are not friends.....

    Halcyonn replied to tdee17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will third Khan Academy (www.khanacademy.org). It is such a great resource and it really helped me to have my light bulb moment regarding balancing chemical equations! I have small children, too...

  3. I did it and its so clear now

    Halcyonn replied to IdianaCNA1993's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    53k for an associates degree? That's outrageous! The CC program I am applying to is 1/5 the price. Is ITT Tech accredited? The website is very cryptic. They don't offer up much information,...

  4. Anyone know the requirements to get into Daytona State College ADN?

    Halcyonn replied to KatesMcGee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Your competitiveness is relative and dependent on a variety of factors. How many applicants does the program accept? How many people typically apply? I would not listen to heresay regarding...

  5. I just got my GED, and..

    Halcyonn replied to luca19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started my ADN pre-reqs last year. I have been gradually chipping away at them taking, on average, 6 credits per semester. I plan to apply to the program that will start next fall. So, after it's...

  6. Anyone know the requirements to get into Daytona State College ADN?

    Halcyonn replied to KatesMcGee's topic in Florida Nursing

    This was taken directly from the DSC website: ********************** For students having the TEAS version 4, the following criteria must be met: Associate Degree Nursing (RN program): TEAS AITS score...

  7. RN School and Family Life

    Halcyonn replied to Mommy2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suggest reaching out to family and friends to help with situations like that. I have small children, 2 years old and 10 months. I have talked with neighbors about watching the kids and/or picking...

  8. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    Halcyonn replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I study in timed blocks. I sit down, and review notes/read texts for about 20-30 minutes and then I take a 5-10 minute break. I'll get up, get a drink, throw in a load of laundry or straighten my...

  9. Does anyone attend Career Training Solutions in Fredericksburg?

    Halcyonn replied to Angel0411's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, no... Once you pass the NCLEX and get your license you'll be an RN. Most of the RN to BSN programs, I have looked into, award you a certain amount of credits for having an active license....

  10. Does anyone attend Career Training Solutions in Fredericksburg?

    Halcyonn replied to Angel0411's topic in Virginia Nursing

    If you plan on furthering your education, I would think twice about CTS. They are not accredited with the NLN, which means any credits that you earn through them will not transfer. It's also about 3...

  11. Really Really Confused? How does this all happen?

    Halcyonn replied to JayCimone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you starting your senior year of high school this fall? If so, I would look at the schools in your area that have nursing programs. Find out what prerequisite courses are needed to apply to the...

  12. Feeling guilty about starting school with 4 yr old.

    Halcyonn replied to gumbi_12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's such a personal decision, but please don't feel guilty if you do decide to go back to school. I have a 2 year old and a 10 month old and they are my main motivation to get through school and...

    Halcyonn replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Finishing off my pre-reqs this fall. I'll be taking A&P II, English, Developmental Psych. and getting my CPR cert. I'm so excited! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

  14. GPA just not good enough

    Halcyonn replied to rokbe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not take some other classes to help boost your GPA? It sounds like the area where you are is just super

    Halcyonn replied to nursingbound2013's topic in Virginia Nursing

    According to the website there is only one Accelerated BS program/year. Application Deadlines Still plenty of time to

  16. What specialty are you considering?

    Halcyonn replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is my mindset, too. I like the fact that I have the ability move around and learn new things in different areas. I certainly won't be bored! Also, I would think there is less of a chance that...

  17. What specialty are you considering?

    Halcyonn replied to daisygarten's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope to be employed. Seriously... I don't really care what 'specialty' I'm in. As long as I can find a job after graduation, I'll be

    Halcyonn replied to hilda_saldana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Welcome! I took microbiology this summer and I thought it was pretty tame compared to my chemistry

  19. I need reassurance, or reality check?

    Halcyonn replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is an issue regarding a GED versus a HS diploma. I also think the fact that you have healthcare experience is a plus. But, your competitiveness is relative. What are the minimum...

  20. ADN or BSN?

    Halcyonn replied to MrsBassett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you researched the hospitals in your area? Do they hire ADN grads? The reason I decided on an ADN over a BSN was that the ADN program where I live is highly respected in my area. The local...

  21. Can you recommend a medical terminology book

    Halcyonn replied to arrowsparrow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would first check the bookstore at your school and see what they have to offer. My A&P class required us to purchase a med. terminology book. I have found it to be very helpful. It is...

  22. Nursing School Choice Advice

    Halcyonn replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think this is a pretty personal decision. If you can make either situation work, then it's really just a matter of prioritizing what is most important to you at this point in your life. It's a...

  25. Should I take Micro and Anatomy and Physiology in the same semester?

    Halcyonn replied to Pily's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently taking Micro and A&P I and the course work is pretty brutal. I've applied to a program that starts spring 2013 so, at the recommendation of my adviser, I took the two classes...
