CONGRATS!!!! to all of you who received your letters! i got mine last week too and i'm still SOOO overjoyed & excited :) as an added bonus, I also got a promotion+raise at my job! so i've been celebrating all week! haha :balloons:

First of all, I'm sorry for your loss. I went through the same situation. I'm 23 years old also & my husband and I definitely weren't planning to have children for a couple of years. I found out that I was pregnant & after the intial shock, w...

Is that the one in costa mesa, CA? If so, I've heard of it. My friend is actually in the LVN program there right now.. She told me that the last graduating class' passing rate was over 90% and the facility is rather new. If you have any more question...

How does nursing help you make a difference in others' lives?? And does it make a difference in YOUR life? Just wondering

Wow. This might sound corny, but I admire you guys.. I really do. :)

I'm taking A&P II in the winter what systems are you guys studying? We're doing cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, endocrine, and reproductive systems.. I was just wondering because I think we're kind of doing the systems out of order. Do you...

My school Cal State Univ. Los Angeles also has a BSN program. Their NCLEX passing rate for the past few years is awesome. Of course since there's way too many people applying than can be admitted, they composed "supplemental criteria". I can let you ...

I'm taking A&P II & Chem next quarter.. so we'll see! :chuckle I'm sure it's doable but it just depends on your own situation. how many other commitments do you have besides school? Work, kids, etc. Are you planning on taking any other classe...

Kayel, thank you!! for sharing your notes :) It made the whole concept easier! But I don't think I did so well on the exam :imbar When I looked at the exam, my mind just went blank. That normally doesn't happen to me, so I was kinda freakin out haha ...

I'm taking A&P II & Chem next quarter too. I was debating if I should take another class as well, but my school goes by quarter system and it's much faster, so I think I'm just going to stick to the two sciences haha

I'm taking that class too!! How are you doing in it? It's a lot easier than A&P I and i spend a lot less time on it haha That would be great if you can let me know the "easier to remember" terms! Our exam on Friday is on the Integument, Skeletal ...

Thanks you two! This helps out a lot! I think I'm finally starting to get it :)

GOOD JOB!! did you use the study guide from the website to study for it?

wow sorry kayel! i didnt even see this reply to my message haha. yeah, she's doing pretty well also. i try to help her out as much as i can, but sometimes when i tell her an answer she tries to tell me i'm wrong. i don't like fighting with people i b...

YES of course they can call themselves nurses. Why wouldn't they be able to? That's what they are.

Have any of you heard anything about the ADN program at the Doheny campus? I'm thinking about applying to it. Also would you happen to know how much the personal statement is considered in the application process?

Just let their negative comments be your motivation to study harder! :) In my situation, my "lab partner" is ALWAYS trying to compete with me and she constantly feeds, not just me, but everyone in the class negative comments. At first it bothered me,...

I don't know how that district/college works, but I do know that some schools here in CA they take the average of the two grades if you take the class twice & passed with at least a C the first time. If you failed the first time, then that's when...

Thanks pixiedust37! Well I feel like I'm struggling with the whole chapter, but I'm going to go over it a few times before the midterm. The main part that I don't get is probably the electron transport chain. Can anyone simplify it for me? Maybe I'm...

hey everyone! i know our school is a little behind compared to you guys.. we're having our first lec. midterm on friday. i'm a little freaked out cause i just can't seem to understand the chem. portion and cell metabolism :uhoh21: we had our first la...

Are you an undergraduate? Or getting your first bachelor's? For an undergrad degree, it really depends on the school, so I suggest that you contact the school that you want to apply to & just ask them =) However, most nursing programs that I've l...

TOO much time! haha i need to get an A in the class!!

Hi there! welcome to the forum!! I have heard that the best private schools for nursing are Mt. St. Mary's College (they offer ADN & BSN) and Azusa Pacific University. I'm not enrolled in either, but I know about their reputations by people tha...

wow i'm glad i found this thread! i'm also thinking about volunteering in the ER. i'm in the process of it right now actually.. i think it would be a great experience & i'm really anxious to get started

wow thanks.. i had the same question and that really clarified it for me :w00t:
