    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    I'm about to send MtSAC an email declining my spot. I can't bring myself to do it lol so I came on here instead. I went to MtSAC for all my prereqs and got an AS there for something else. I love that...

    Mt. SAC application for spring 2016

    It's so hard! I am so thankful to even be in the position to choose a school instead of not being accepted anywhere, but it sucks! What are you basing your decision

    I'm not exactly on the same boat buuuut I did get waitlisted on one school and got accepted a few days later. I got accepted into 3 other schools and declined 2 of them. People decline their spot all...

    Physiology question.

    I wouldn't drop my grade just to be able to retake the course. The first thing I would do is talk to your professor and tell them you really want to improve. I struggled in the middle of my anatomy...

    I want to be a RN, what should I do?

    I hear there is a preference for BSN over ADN. I have seen many local job postings where they indicate BSN is preferred. If you finish your bachelors in psych try applying for the ABSN (Accelerated...
  9. My first shot at college I dropped out. I owed over $6k in loans, my mom and brother were pissed and stopped helping me financially. Years later I went back to school and now I'm starting nursing...

    Recommendation

    Look at the school's admission requirements. If a letter of recommendation is not even mentioned then call the school to find out. Some schools I applied to accepted them, other did not. Most schools...

    Accelerated BSN with low GPA

    I'm not sure if anyone has the exact answer that you need and you may need to put in some work in order to get the information you need. If I were you I would go to NY's state nursing board website....

    Desire to be a nurse, is it to late?

    I am starting nursing school in January at age 30. Don't let age bother you one bit. Your GPA is a bit low so make sure you look into several schools and different programs (ADN, BSN, etc.). You can...

    Dreading Micro!

    Micro was so much fun. The labs were interesting and who doesn't want to grow colonies of bacteria? I had a great teacher that made the lectures tolerable. I didn't think I would enjoy micro as much...

    Need Advice

    How long is the LPN program? If it is the same time or less then I would go that route instead of just waiting around. Can you retake some classes, volunteer at a hospital or do anything to improve...

    Denied twice!!! :(

    How many more classes would you have to take to apply to other schools? If you really want to be a nurse then you will find a way. Take extra classes and tests if you need to. It will only help...

    Advice on prerequisites

    Are you saying Micro is a part of the nursing curriculum? I would sign up for Micro now because I hear nursing courses are very very tough and demand a lot of time. Can you take more than one class at...

    Career Change & Telling Your Boss

    I would just tell your employer. They should be aware just in case you need to change your work schedule to adjust the nursing school schedule. Also, I told my former boss I was quitting to go to...
