  1. Opinions on W's?

    LorenW28 replied to Hondashi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check your programs you are applying to. Most will list on the website that there is a 2-3 attempt limit. A "W" is an attempt. It took me 3 years to complete my pre-reqs just because life happened and...

    You're welcome and please do! I hope you get a letter and maybe I'll be seeing you on campus. :) The new Health Science Center will be opening up at the end of this semester, and we will be moving...

    Hi mylife7 you're not bugging me! It's my pleasure to help out! The first two weeks you go Mon-Thurs 8:30-4:30 with an hour lunch usually at 12:30. After that you go 8:30-3:30ish Monday and Thursday,...

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you so much! I have worked so hard to finally get to this point, and I can't help but to be passionate and excited. :) I actually was accepted into Collin's program. I start in less than a...

  5. WGU Pre-licensing BSN for 2015

    LorenW28 replied to ShondaJ's topic in Western Governors University

    SocBooKyraMartz is right. Originally when I applied, I was applying for the OC cohort. Since my address was in Hollywood, they declined me. My counselor told me that most likely the reason they...

  6. CNA first then RN?

    LorenW28 replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    Valpak, that's exactly what happened with a friend of mine. She was working as a Patient Care Tech at a large hospital here in Dalla, TX while in her ADN program. She had an offer from the hospital...

  7. Collin College Fall 2015 ADN

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    Mylife7, yes, they said about 270 qualified students applied, and 60 students were selected for the fall program. I believe they said they were hoping the new Health Science Center will be opening...

  8. CNA first then RN?

    LorenW28 replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    Cream and Sugar, I thought the same thing, but that is what the professor of a very well respected and one of the largest nursing schools in the nation told us in our orientation when she came to...

  9. CNA first then RN?

    LorenW28 replied to Dahliadiaz's topic in Nursing Career

    I was thinking of doing the same thing to help me get accepted into a nursing program and gain the experience. To increase your chances of getting in, if you don't have excellent test scores and a...

  10. Mens nursing shoes?

    LorenW28 replied to BumbleBuddy's topic in Men in Nursing

    I had the same issue, and I have to have some that are mostly white... I found these, and they don't look old mannish. They are ranked among the top shoes for male nurses. Good luck on your

  11. WGU Pre-licensing BSN for 2015

    LorenW28 replied to ShondaJ's topic in Western Governors University

    I don't have a degree and I was accepted for the August 1st cohort for Huntington Memorial Hospital. However, I declined the offer since they only give a 3.0 GPA, and I need a 3.5+ GPA for CRNA school...

  12. Collin College Fall 2015 ADN

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    Oh I'm sorry, I misread your post. That's good that you've completed them! It'll make nursing school that much more easier for you. I retook several classes. A&P 2 was one of them. Life got in the...

  13. Collin College Fall 2015 ADN

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    You're welcome! You still have quite a few classes you can take to boost your GPA. A few B's here and there probably won't hurt you that badly. Just work really hard to get A's in those last classes....

  14. Collin College Fall 2015 ADN

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    That's not a dumb question! :) The classes that would go towards the cumulative GPA are: Science Pre-Reqs A&P 1 & 2 Microbiology Cumulative English Composition I General Psychology Lifespan...

  17. Collin College Fall 2015 ADN

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sure. There are 6 sections that make up the 34 points. 1. I received 1 of 1 point for getting a C or higher for Biology 1406. 2. I received 3 of 3 points for completing A&P 1 and 2, and...

  18. Collin College Fall 2015 ADN

    LorenW28 replied to momofrex's topic in Texas Nursing

    I believe I had 27 points. There were about 270 qualified applicants, and 60 were selected. Apparently the years before they selected less students (about half, maybe), but now they are building a new...

  19. WGU Pre-licensing BSN for 2015

    LorenW28 replied to ShondaJ's topic in Western Governors University

    The selection process is pretty intense. Not only do they look at your GPA, TEAS score, and work experience, they also look at how you keep up with your appointments with your admissions counselor and...

    LorenW28 replied to julzgarcia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was part time and took me three years to complete my pre-reqs (including my core classes). Now I start nursing school in the Fall. Not to mention I was accepted into both programs I applied to. It...

  22. What am I getting myself into?

    LorenW28 replied to k8e_97's topic in General Nursing

    I am not a nurse yet, but will start nursing school in the fall. However, I've worked at an urgent care clinic in the past two years at the front desk. Since I've been there a while I've been crossed...
