Thank you! I haven't had the chance to attend an information session because of my work schedule, so I appreciate the input!

I don't know if I'm completely crazy, but I've signed up for Microbiology over the summer. It's a 6 week class, from May 23-July 8 that meets 4 days a week for about 3.5 hours each day. I've never done a summer course and I don't know what to expect...

I can't believe it. They just posted grades for summer Microbiology and I got an A. She had to curve that class because my exam grades were only in the high eighties. I am counting my blessings right now. I logged in while at work and I literally...

I know I should really contact my financial aid office for this question, but they're closed now and I'm too curious to wait the entire weekend for an answer. Impatient I am, yes. So, I have a Pell Grant for the amount of 5300 for this financial aid...

Hi, Just curious, because the advisor at Capital Community College in Hartford, CT gave me some kind of canned answer on this, but what were your stats for those of you accepted into the program this fall? I will be applying next year and I want to ...

I rented from Amazon for Chemistry and intro Biology. Both times I had good experiences, and the books were in good shape when they arrived.

From my experience, which is limited at this point, most of my classmates in Microbiology seem to have taken A&P I and II and are already accepted into the nursing program. I'm a year behind them, and I haven't taken A&P yet, but at our scho...

I took Intro to Biology and Lifespan Development and received an A in both classes. I'm two semesters into my prerequisites and I'm holding a 4.0 so far. Now for Microbiology which starts tonight! Wish me luck! :)

I just wanted a spot for all of us to share any successes and accomplishments this semester. We all work very hard, and if you're excited about something you succeeded in this semester please share! I haven't received my final grades yet, but some ...

That's fantastic! Congrats and good luck to you on your NCLEX!

Congrats, I can't wait to be in your shoes!

Fantastic suggestions. I will commit to these techniques.

Ooh, Khan academy! Good idea!

I'm not much of a partyer these days with a three year old at home, but I do have some social ties outside of work so they'll definitely be set aside for that time period. I'm glad that some of your mentioned the amount of study time, and that's arou...

I'm so glad I decided to start my nursing prereqs at age 34. I had someone to look up to though, my mom, who received her RN license this past May at age 63!

Non-traditional student here! I'm 34 (almost 35) and I'm part way through my second semester of prerequisites. I'm taking 2 classes both this semester and last, then I'll take 1 summer (Micro), one fall (A&P I), one winter (Intro to Sociology),...

$92 Biweekly for family coverage, $3000 deductible, after which insurance will pay 90% until 5000 dollars is reached in out of pocket expenses, then kicks in at 100%. I'm not a nurse though, I work full time for a bank while completing my prerequisit...

I'm trying to figure out the best timing for my TEAS test. I'm one semester down for my prerequisites. I have taken Chemistry, and next semester I'm scheduled for basic intro biology and a Lifespan Development class. Then I plan to take Microbiolo...

Wow, congrats! I'm trying to figure out when I should take mine. How did you study? Should I just search the forums for tips?

I would read my chemistry chapter every week before lecture, and do practice problems to make sure I understood the materials. When it came time for exams I doubled down on the practice problems, and did some flashcards of major concepts. It takes ...

I got an A in a computer class (for some reason it's a prerequisite) and an A in Chemistry. I'm wicked psyched!

I just finished my first semester of prereqs! My exams are taken, my final project turned in, and now I'm just biting my nails waiting to see that final grade! Anyone else just chomping at the bit to see those final grades?

I would if I drank. Have one for me, please!

YES YES YES! A's in both classes I'm psyched!

I'm getting antsy. I have one grade back from one professor, because he emailed me. My computer applications class (basically an office suite training course but required by my nursing school of choice). I got an A. Wewt! I'm more concerned with ...
