    aleong29 replied to aleong29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you CFCC13 for the suggestion! I bought a copy of Critical Thinking and Clinical Judgement to read for the time being. I'm thinking about going through a CNA or MA program to help me a bit. Any...

    My stats are almost about the same as yours and I got in to 3 of the 4 nursing programs I applied to in California. I thought my with my stats I didn't stand a chance, but hey, what do you know?! I...

    Do you ever feel discouraged when your getting ready to apply?

    aleong29 replied to jess1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rio Hondo ADN Nursing Program

    aleong29 replied to Davidz0rs's topic in California Nursing

    online anatomy class?

    aleong29 replied to meg2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is my planned Pre-nursing Fall 2013 schedule crazy/impossible?

    aleong29 replied to heres117's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it, but it won't be easy. Chemistry itself was a struggle for me. If you're having any doubts, I would break it apart into two semesters. I wouldn't want my grades to suffer in the event...

    So sick of A&P

    aleong29 replied to Pulley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A&P classes are definitely difficult. The only thing that really kept me going was because I really loved the content. My professors were helpful (for the most part), but it didn't make it any...

    Advice!! Graduating soon with non nursing degree interested in ABSN

    aleong29 replied to inspired1873's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking courses at a community college won't put you at a disadvantage at all. A lot, if not all the absn students probably had to fulfill several prereqs at a community college. I attended 6 community...

    aleong29 replied to mswtruth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
