  1. I got my denial letter from DCCCD

    ksparkman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got the mail and I received my denial letter from El Centro. The cutoffs stated earlier on the DCCCD board are correct. However, what is incorrect is my prerequisite GPA. They calculated it...

  2. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    ksparkman replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't been able to keep up with this board, but I do get email updates occasionally. I think that I keep seeing messages about people who hate the class entirely. Is it the teacher, or the...

  3. I got my denial letter from DCCCD

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

    First, I want to thank everyone for their support with all of this. Second, I did email the lady at El Centro. I didn't think that I would hear from her, but 20 minutes later I had an email in my...

  4. I got my denial letter from DCCCD

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

    Yeah, the last time I checked all A's meant you have a 4.0

  5. I really need to talk about this! (long)

    ksparkman replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am not a nurse, and I just changed my major to pre-med, but I wanted to tell you that you did what you should have done. That's absolutely ridiculous! And besides, who cares what she thinks! The...

  6. Microbiology - Fall 2005

    ksparkman replied to maliat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are using the book titled Microbiology author Robert W. Bauman. The reason why I ask is because there are critical thinking questions throughout the chapter and I want to check my answers....

  7. What is the Illustrated notebook for Tortora's Anatomy & Physiology like?

    ksparkman replied to rhp123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally, I liked the book. It is a big spiral bound book with all of the illustrated pictures. Nothing is labeled so you can do it yourself. That really helped me. Instead of taking notes from...

  8. NET - when do you get results?

    ksparkman replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amy, I got mine

  9. CRNA Confusion

    ksparkman posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am having somewhat of a problem deciding what I want to do. Last year, I decided that I would pursue a nursing career. I had been told at an early age that I wasn't good in math and science and...

  10. Hard to get into Nursing Program, any advice?

    ksparkman replied to Juish1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there only one nursing program in your area? If not, find out what it takes to get into all of them. Apply to every one of them to increase your chances. You may also look into getting a Pell...

  11. CRNA Confusion

    ksparkman replied to ksparkman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I guess I didn't make it clear enough. I was told by a family member that I was no good in math and that I'd never make it in the medical field. Anything is possible with hard work, and that's where...

  12. CRNA Confusion

    ksparkman replied to ksparkman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Right. I'm aware that I have to become an RN first, work in CICU for a minimum of two years, and then apply for the masters program. Shadowing a CRNA is something that I've been thinking of as well....

  13. Bookstore refuses to give out ISBN #'s

    ksparkman replied to happydz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great idea! :) But be careful to get the right edition. So many of my classes have worthless books after the semester is over due to a new edition, or a revision to the old book. I've really...

  14. Bookstore refuses to give out ISBN #'s

    ksparkman replied to happydz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ugh! You are kidding! That's ridiculous! I can't believe those

  15. Do you cover your books?

    ksparkman replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say go for it! Who cares! In fact, now you've made me think twice about it. Maybe I should cover my books too!

  16. Recorders. HELP!!

    ksparkman replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a teacher that taught a 100 student class in a huge lecture hall. It worked great. To the above poster. I'm sorry that the Olympus brand didn't work for you. Did you use the digital kind?...

  17. Recorders. HELP!!

    ksparkman replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have an Olympus digital voice recorder VN-960PC and I love it. It's a really good brand, and you can download your lectures onto your computer at home. It's user friendly, and if you go to...

  18. Science Major or Non-Science Major API & APII??

    ksparkman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Moved from introductions... I took non-science major API & APII. I'm wondering now if I really made the wrong choice by taking those classes. Are the science major classes that much better? A...

  19. Dcccd 2006

    ksparkman replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, here's all the information that I know. If you don't have a job at Presby Dallas, you will apply through El Centro. On your application where it asks you which location you'd like to go to, the...

  20. How old are you?

    ksparkman replied to flight.attendant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I turned 30 in July this year. I also agree with the other older nursing students. I find that I love learning now. I mean sure, there's the hectic "Oh I wish this was over now" periods (usually...

  21. DFW Baylor Prereq's

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

    Thank you. I PM'd you back.

  22. DFW Baylor Prereq's

    ksparkman posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering if anyone knew what the specific electives are that you can choose from when you're applying for their nursing program. I'm looking all over the site, and all I see is 'elective'....

  23. study guides on N.E.T./exams

    ksparkman replied to kkind4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was never able to find anything other than that stupid ERIWorld book. I did think it helped though. But I hadn't been back to school in 12 years. But the other posters are right. It is basic...

  24. Dcccd 2006

    ksparkman replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am glad to have found this thread as well. Does anyone go to Eastfield? That's where I'm working on my prereq's since it's the closest for me. Hasn't anyone heard of the El Centro satellite...

    ksparkman replied to sunnyjohn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my Healthcare Provider CPR class at Presbyterian on Walnut and Greenville. It was $45, and it was an excellent class. I took it in May and I remember everything from the
