  3. How to become a nurse

    NerdyKnitter replied to Terrazaw1929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you are addressing me here. Like the poster above me said, you don't need any test scores to enter at a community college. I will also say, the very best education I have received has been...

  5. ENG 101 online, cheap, transferable credit?

    NerdyKnitter posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    English 101 is a class that factors in greatly with my desired nursing program. I got a B in this class 15+ years ago. I would like to retake it, but I have to follow a strict education plan to keep...

  8. ENG 101 online, cheap, transferable credit?

    NerdyKnitter replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will talk to the financial aid office when they open back up. I attend the local community college now, in good standing. My financial aid award is contingent on me taking the classes they approved...

  9. Looking for out of state nursing programs

    NerdyKnitter replied to zherms's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My sister went to nursing school in North Carolina and says they have so many programs that it was easy to get into the school she wanted. That's a long way from California, but I do know Oregon and...

  10. Retake It?

    NerdyKnitter replied to MaryEllen17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's only the sciences and math classes that expire, so I would retake those English classes if your program is competitive and factors in English classes. My school only looks at English 101 for...

  11. ENG 101 online, cheap, transferable credit?

    NerdyKnitter replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I already go to the local community college. I'm going to ask if they will allow me to take it as long as I pay for it myself. I had to appeal to take the classes on my ed

  12. How to become a nurse

    NerdyKnitter replied to Terrazaw1929's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My GED has never held me back. I've attended two community colleges and a University with no problems. I'm now taking pre-requisites for nursing. Good luck to

  13. Just got accepted!

    NerdyKnitter replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations!!!

  14. Taking A&P 1 for the summer quarter

    NerdyKnitter replied to danyoon1019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How competitive is the program you're applying to? Do you need stellar grades? Those are questions to consider, no need to actually answer. I just finished Chem 121 for spring quarter and I can't...

  15. How do you learn the material?

    NerdyKnitter replied to Amaryllis787's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For anyone with good intelligence who underperforms academically, I recommend looking into Irlen Syndrome. It's a visual perception disorder that affects 12% of the population and is corrected with...

  16. What do I do

    NerdyKnitter replied to MaryEllen17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm applying to the nursing program at 40 and I am 6 classes shy of a BS in another field. The fact is, life changes us. I'm sure it's safe to say cancer changed you. I had an extreme case of PPD...

  17. RN with a different BS degree?

    NerdyKnitter posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi everyone, I have a question about Bachelor's degrees in nursing. I am doing pre-requisites for an RN program right now. I've been thinking ahead about getting my BSN. My goal is to be a lactation...

  18. RN with a different BS degree?

    NerdyKnitter replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, I mapped it all out late last year and it would take me two-quarters to finish it. I could do it all online from Washington (the university is in Oregon). It would cost me about $8500, and I...

  19. Science classes

    NerdyKnitter replied to Applejack's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was pretty freaked out about taking Chemistry, but I'm taking my final on Tuesday and I have an overall 94% in the class right now! I have greatly enjoyed chemistry. I am doing better in it than I...

  20. i am not smart, still should i take a nursing program?

    NerdyKnitter replied to curiousfellow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still doing pre-reqs, but I tend to believe that anyone (outside of having a true cognitive deficit, like a serious brain injury) can become a good student and go into the field they're passionate...

  21. RN with a different BS degree?

    NerdyKnitter replied to NerdyKnitter's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes! That is one reason why I want to finish that degree. It will have to happen after nursing school. I am already doing pre-reqs for nursing and I'm going to FINISH that, and then decide to work on...

  22. Underestimated Summer Classes

    NerdyKnitter replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Khan Academy is wonderful as well. I had to take an algebra class last term so I could take chemistry and I found our math tutoring center extremely helpful. I was there nearly every day. I would...

  23. Underestimated Summer Classes

    NerdyKnitter replied to Dreamer05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do your instructors put their slides, notes, or recordings online? I have a wonderful professor for Chem 1 right now who has all her lecture slides and previous recordings online that are so helpful....
