Just wondering if anyone else was applying to the Front Range Community College ADN program to start in January 2015. Just submitted my application. Finished all my prereqs, took the HESI, and the Elementary Algebra Accuplacer. That was an annoying s...

I did all the tests in the McGraw book and didn't find it very useful at all. It seemed to have a larger scope than was in the actual exam. I scored all 60s on those practice tests but did a 96 on the actual chem portion. It seemed more in depth than...

Everyone said, "STUDY CHEM!!!" and I'm glad I did. I thought I bombed the entire section but magically got a 96. I think the Elseiver study guide did a good enough job with the basics that were on the exam.

I got a 90 overall on reading but a 100 on word meaning. My lowest was also a 77 on conclusion. I emailed the coordinator and she said my application materials were all complete, so I don't think the breakdown matters for my school. Feel free to doub...

Yea, at the informational session, the lady from FRCC said if you want a job at PVH, you'll have to agree to get your BSN within 3 years or something. I think the dual enrollment thing is the best option -- shoot, I'm on my *4th* semester of taking c...

Oh cool! Congrats! Yea, I think the Metro State program starts after the ADN, but the UNC program is supposed to be like the UCCS one where you start taking classes in the summer while you're still working on your ADN. The UCCS program seems the more...

Yea, I feel like I should just stay with FRCC since I already committed a year and a half to doing the prereqs for it. That seems like one of the difficult things with nursing school -- the prereqs are so different from school to school, AND they are...

Is it just because the market is so saturated in the Denver area? Or is this all over? What schools would you recommend? UNC?

Wow, that's awful! I was hoping to do a dual enrollment option for the BSN.

In terms of the actual rules... If I remember correctly, each question on the HESI tells you what to round to. As in, the nearest whole number, or the tenth, etc. I was worried about this too. but as long as you know how to round, you should be fine....

Actually it comes triple wrapped in plastic and you can keep it in the lab kit until you use it. You also have a sheep heart and kidney to dissect prior to the pig lab. None of it smelled too bad -- can't smell anything until you open the bags. Then...

I have a lot of friends who are applying to the accelerated program at Regis and taking A&P at FRCC/CCCO. I think the only big deal is that you HAVE to take A&PII at the same institution you take A&PI.

I don't know if it was because I took the summer class, so they cut out some of the labs, but we were not required to buy a microscope and had no labs that required it. We used PAL whenever we were looking at histology.

I got a 95% in the class, but my super power seems to be anatomy and physiology. I had over a 100% in my first A&P class in the classroom. Everyone says II is harder, and I think that's true. The lecture exams .... they weren't too bad -- I alwa...

I just took the HESi Monday and got a 96% on math. Definitely round up for questions involving people or cakes or stuff like that. Also, DO NOT SPEND TOO MUCH TIME ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE OFFICIAL STUDY GUIDE. Or, stick with questions that do the ...

I just took A&P II online this summer through CCCO. I did A&P I in the classroom at Front Range CC. Like you, I couldn't make A&P II work with my schedule. For the online class, there are no lectures -- basically you just read the book an...
