I actually started out as a pre-med major....switched to biology...then EE/Physics...and never got my degree. I've been working as an engineer for years and my doctor/best running buddy tried to convince me to take the M-CATs 10 years ago...I should...

Congratulations to you!! I got my letter today too. I got accepted to El Centro. I'll see your fifteen years and raise it 16. Last summer, we had our 30th reunion for the Class of 1975 of North Garland High School. Mike

So what blanks did you draw? What was on the quiz? Mean, median, mode, midrange, variance and standard deviation? Is your instructor giving you the formulae or are you supposed to pull them from the deep, dark recesses of what used to be your brai...

The NET is not the only entrance test out there folks. Brookhaven College, part of the Dallas County Community College District, uses a HESI test that includes A&P info as well as the basic "can you read?" and "can you count past 20 with all of ...

Only 101%??? SLACKER!!! May I grovel at your feet? I'm impressed!!!

Re-read my post...I've edited and added... Mike

OK..so in my statistics class, 80% are nursing types. I will be willing to bet that no more than 10% of them get A's. In my A&P 2 class, there were 12% A's, in my A&P 1 class, there was one A...MINE. These classes are weed-out classes just...

It may take a while to hear from her. She took over a week to get the application to me. There are well over 100 folks ahead of me in line for this and she said that the program is just about out of money. They hope to recharge the coffers soon.

tis better to dissect a cat than to be dissected by one

By the way, I took my NET yesterday. I'm sorry but "buy a study guide" for that thing??? If you can add and subtract 4 digit numbers, deal with decimal conversions, fractions and be able to reduce what.....6 I think....algebraic equations....that's ...

Hey Jenn, Tom Cunningham is pretty good. I had him for Micro. in Spring 2005. The only problem is that he doesn't take charge of the class really well and can, at times, let some of the students sorta run over things. He's a very good teacher and ...

Well I took the NET today. I posted my score over in the "I Hate Math" thread. I really am disappointed that I didn't ace the math portion of the test. You'll note that my little sister/mentor Gauge14IV has joined us. She's an RN (ADN, BSN) and cu...

Hi Sis....no I didn't tell them what I made on the NET yet, I just got home from chemistry. Since I pretty much remember the break down of the questions...how many of each of the different types... and the print out says what I made on each section....

You'll be fine....trust me...and if there is anything that I can help with, you know where to find me.

Hey Kiddo...did you read the course description on the books or just assume that you needed all four of them? My 1405 course listed 4 books....2 required and 2 "recommended". I looked at the recommended books and decided that my money would be bett...

Hey..I'm here to help you guys too. I've had the same two lab partners through most of these classes. I'm about to help one of them through algebra and the other through stats. Don't hesitate to ask. Mike

Thanks lalajenn...but after looking through the book this week, I think I could probably teach this class. I've been doing calculus based stats as part of my job for a number of years. This arithmetic based stuff is pretty basic. I'm sure I'll end ...

Summer 1 2004 - A&P 1 while working full time as an engineer Fall 2004 - A&P 2 with the same job Spring 2005 - Microbiology...new job..commuting from Dallas to Houston as an engineering manager. Down there on Sunday, drive back for Tues. nit...

By definition, statistics ARE boring. I've been doing statistical generation and analysis for Statistical Process Control in an engineering enviornment for the past 10 years or so....fun DON'T enter in to it..but it is a necessary evil. Just remembe...

You'll love my semester Fun2. Algegra, Stats and Chemistry. I'm taking algebra online. You should have seen me argue with them about taking algebra. When I started college, I took 2 semesters of calculus.....they just don't care. LOL

My favorite exposure was when I was an engineer for a company with a plant about 100 miles south of Nuevo Laredo in Mexico. They had an outbreak of dengue fever carried by the local mosquito population. I managed to avoid it thankfully.

Hye SunnyJohn, No, I haven't done anything at El Centro yet. I am about to start getting all of my stuff together to apply for next fall. I'm also working on a couple of job opportunities in both the Methodist and Presby hospital systems that may p...

G'morning Fun2Care...I don't think you'll be crying. You'll be challenged pretty well but if you've got the discipline to study and work, you'll be alright. Remember that algebra comes in really handy in Chem. (stochiometery) and the old rule about...

There is a crash program at either TCU or at TWU (I'm old and can't remember which now) that offers a 1 year transition for a BS degree. If you have a BS in ANYTHING, they will have you finished with a BSRN in 1 year of full time school. You might ...
