Taking that First Step!

stpauligirl · Dec 28, 2005

so, i have signed up for chemistry.. my 1st step towards getting into the nursing program... i have to take that in order to get into a&p 1 and 2.
so, i have taken the initial step and hope to keep forward!
i am amazed at how much this is going to cost.. this one class is costing me $716.00 plus the book! wowza! and its only the beginning......
wish me luck!!!

that's how i started last fall. they should do it like that at our school here, make everyone take chem before getting into a&p 1 and 2. way too many people fail the a&p classes or barely pass them with c's. i am glad that i took chem before i signed up for a&p. i signed up for microbiology and it will cost $ 500.00 + good luck!

And here I was complaining about $250.00 for books and $400.00 for tuition for four classes...I need to shut my mouth, eesh! That's expensive.

Good luck. My classes give me sticker shock too, since I did community college for my ADN.
