So I went to NECC today to meet with my advisor, Jayne. I like Jayne. She's oober smart, funny, and very down to earth. She basically told me that if I want to get into the RN program at Northern Essex, I will not only need to retake A&P I, but Chemistry. Now here's the back story on Chemistry...
Last Spring, I enrolled in Physiological Chemistry. I thought that it would help me to tie in all the "stuff" I've learned working in the lab. It didn't. It was an abysmal disaster resulting in a C. Now, I must retake it. On the bright side, I can take a much simpler course like Intro to Chem. The A&P...well...I'll just have to wait till next fall for Dr. Holden. I did not just spend the entire semester taking all those notes to try it again with another professor and more notes.
So Chem is planned for the Summer, more A&P in the Fall. As for the Spring 10 semester, I am taking Lifespan Psych, and Intro to Sociology. Both classes are online, thankfully, so I will not have to keep driving hither and thither from Nashua to Haverhill.
I'm looking forward to continuing my education. I may still, however, have to go the LPN route. The RN programs are extremely competitive, and I am not as smart as everyone thinks I am. I know I can handle it, but sometimes, I just can't do better than a C. I'm good with clinics and needles, its text books and classrooms that really suck sometimes. At least as an LPN, I would be considered Advanced Placement, and C's would be perfectly acceptable. Anyone know of an LPN program that runs nights?
