I'm very happy for you, but I think I'm going to attend OU.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ AnnaN5 Thanks for responding so quicky and clarifying that OU is not more expensive if you live outside of Oakland County. I am reallying forward to attending OU now. I'm discovering that all nursing programs are NOT the same. I assumed, (I know ass-u-me) that all nursing programs were accredited. NOT!

========================================================= I have plans to attend OU as well. I would really like some insight on the school, besides the fact that it is very expensive if you live outside of Oakland County.

========================================================= I took a trip to WCCD today with my mother because I had plans to attend the information meeting. After my mother viewed the area, she told me to apply at Oakland University (OU) instead. The program may be wonderful, but the area really sucks and they are not accredited! Now, I have to take a few additional classes at OU, but OU are actively seeking minority students, so maybe I will luck out. P.S. WCCD is far from me, but I really wanted to attend a diverse college.

========================================================= My college is doing the same exact thing, except they will not give you the title of book either. When I went to the bookstore, I had to tell a lie and say I wanted to make sure I had the right books so I could look at the titles and memorized them. I was escorted to the books and the salesgirl held the books up. They are trying to prevent students from purchasing their textbooks from outside sources. I memorized the face cover of my required books and purchased them used from Amazon. Can you believe they wanted over $100 for my Anthropology book?!!! I purchased it used for $48 at Amazon.

=================================================== Same here. I never cover my books....

======================================================= Thanks for replying so quickly. We covered everything that you listed here. My A&P was hell and I do not desire to take any part of the class again! However, I think Pathogenic Microbiology was harder!!

When I took the course it was combined together and worth six credits. The first half of the class was lecture and the second half lab. I'm wondering now if the college I plan on transferring to next semester will require that I take AP II....

=========================================================

No. Only the NET. Kaplan seems to cover everything, but I'm only studying the required subjects that is covered on the NET....

I recently purchased Kaplan's Nursing School Entrance exam study guide and Amazon tossed in CliffsTestPrep as a bonus packaged. I took the pre-test which covers reading comprehension, math, science, etc and did pretty well on it. Kaplan comes with a pre-test (So you know upfront what you need to improve on) and two practice exams. I asked about the calulator because I have a Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus Graphing Calculator and was thinking, whoa if I could use this on the test (LOL)......but that's wishful thinking. )

========================================================== Thanks for the feedback Love4Me I purchased Kaplan's NET study guide (Amazon tossed in Cliffs NET study guide for a few bucks more) and it covers reading comprehension, vocab & spelling, mathematics and science (biology, chemistry and physics). Although I hear science is not on the exam. Double thanks for sharing that the algebra consists of PEMDAS! Now, I don't have to study the harder algebra...

Urgggggggggggggg thought so....

========================================================= I'm so sorry you didn't ace your exam, but you are doing the right thing; studying harder and taking it again. I also want to commend you for sharing your experience. I recently purchased Kaplan's NET study guide and it covers everything. (Reading comprehension, vocabulry & spelling, mathematics and science (biology, chemistry & physics) However, until I read your post, I was mostly concertrating on the math section. Now, thanks to you, I will make sure I study the reading section as well. Stay strong!!!!!

My guts are telling me no, but I thought I would ask.......

======================================================= Dawnnikol Thanks for posting this. You guys are really great! Thanks to you and Fun2Care I don't feel as nervous about the math section.

I have taken Pathogenic Microbiology at one college, but the nursing program I'm applying to requires Microbiology. My thinking is Pathogenic Microbiology is a more advance biology, but I may be wrong. Feedback please!!!

========================================================= Thank you so much for responding to my post. At least now, I know what I need to brush up on. Ratios!! Thanks again!

Jenn can you please post here about the math section on the NET. Thanks!

I ordered a PREP-NET exam book to help me study for it. I hear the test consist of general math (addition, substraction, fractions, percentages, division, etc) with about five basic algebra questions on it. However, don't quote me on this, this is only what I have read. If you find any additional information, please share.

I'm thinking about applying to WCCD next year because I'm sick of being on MCC waiting list. After reading some of the posts here, I'm a bit concerned! :uhoh21:

Ahh.....I never thought about it this way.

Thank you very much ladies. I am in Beginning Algebra now and math have always been a problem for me. I want so badly to become a nurse. I have never had a problem in any other prereq class although some have had me scratching my head, hence Pathogenic Biology. Someone listed a math website that may come in handy so my plans are to check into that today. Thanks again.

This may seem like a silly question, but I would really like a serious answer. Thanks!!! :hottub:
