  1. Has anyone ever took medical terminology??

    I took it online last fall. It was really interesting and I learned a lot. I expect it will help me immensely when I start nursing school in August. It isn't required for my program, but it is...
  2. Memory Notebook Series

    Jado, perhaps you could provide the ISBN
  3. How do you all solve your childcare dilemmas?

    Go to a college and find a child development major who would be willing to sit for you. Their major shows they enjoy kids and understand them a bit, at least. I would make sure to do a background...
  4. Sierra College Letters?

    Bummer. I'm sorry. I didn't even apply there because they wanted me to take English 1A even though I had taken the AP English exam and a composition class more advanced than 1A. I think they were...
  5. Class of '09

    Woo hoo! Congratulations! I also start in August and it's taken me a year and a half to get in once my prereqs were finished. I also took some other helpful classes: medical terminology,...

  8. DID NOT GET IN! Completely devastated...

    I'm sorry, Vicky. Keep trying. It took me three tries to get in via the lottery system. If there are any schools near you with waiting lists, hop on. It helps to know that there's a backup

  10. Good website for Nursing Gear?

  11. Scared To Start Nursing School

    I'm really excited about starting school in August as well, but I'm also really scared. It's fear of the unknown. I don't want to kill anyone, either! I know they're not going to hand me a bunch of...
  12. Preferred Nursing Shoe?

    I've always loved the look of those Dansko mary janes. My question is, how are they for a wide foot? My feet were completely normal until I had a baby, but now I need a wide shoe.... I don't want...
  13. My school has a weird application process!

    We had to meet with a counselor who had to go over our application and then verify that we had completed our prereqs every time we apply. I had to apply 3 times before I got in - our school admits...
  14. Who really wants to help people????

    I had leukemia as a teenager and part of my desire to become a nurse is the urge I have to give back to a community that was so supportive of me. My nurses were all wonderful and genuinely cared for...
  15. I looked on the college website

    I start at the end of August. We have a mandatory orientation on June 12 and we can't register for our classes until after that. I'm really excited but scared too. I don't want to kill
  16. How do you/did you decide on a nursing program?

    Another option would be to go to your state's BON website. The CA BON site has a list of all accredited schools and information on their NCLEX pass rates. The pass rates for the schools helped me to...

  19. Roseville

    We do live in a nice part of town and couldn't afford to buy here now! :) I don't work at a hospital yet. I do daycare at home, but only until August. I finally start nursing school at ARC in the...
  20. Who's Waiting 4 Fall 07 Acceptance?

    I heard last week that on my third attempt to get into lottery based American River College in Sacramento, I'm in for fall. On my second try to get into Sacramento City College - no luck! On my first...
  21. Once, Twice a Loser!

    We have a 5 year old daughter and are waiting until I finish school to have another baby. I've been ready since she was about a year and a half, but financially it's better for us to wait. In my...
  22. Once, Twice a Loser!

    I would definitely give them a call. It couldn't hurt and it may get you in!
  23. Once, Twice a Loser!

    The acceptance came in the big manila envelope. I knew what it was before I even opened it, but thinking back, when I didn't get in they sent it back in a big envelope too, with all my application...
  24. Once, Twice a Loser!

    I was only accepted at ARC. The letters for the regular and extended SCC programs were mailed separately. I received the extended program letter yesterday and the regular program letter today. Last...
  25. Finally! This was my third time applying and I received my acceptance letter today. My school admits via lottery, so I've been waiting a year and a half for this! Orientation is June 12 and school...
