Yes, it seems like we have a lot of SoCal transplants in our state! I'm getting ready to head back out there after graduation, which is fine, but I certainly will miss St. Louis!

Glad to see more posts on our forum here! Hello to everyone!

Yeah, me, too....because I was reading a post in the CA forum where it made mention of how much they had going on there while the rest of the states were dead...and that it had something to do with how wonderful they were and how the other states weren't.....I wanted to reply that maybe others had a 'life', but figured I'd better not start THAT hot potato!!

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving -- wherever you are!

Welcome and Congratulations Kristi!! I think you will find your nursing program challenging and rewarding and I wish you the best of luck!!

There are a ton of resources on this website, so don't hesitate to use this for the encouragement, information, and help that you might need along the way!! Hopefully you've checked out the Student Nursing sections, including the Pre-Nursing Student one?

I am a pre-nursing student due to start NS in summer 2007 (either RN or LPN...many factors coming in to play there! but i have a plan for either way things work out!). I'm from a sleepy little town in Southeast Missouri, 2006 HS graduate and fairly happy with everything at the moment!

I know that OTC has a very good LPN program, as to an RN program I would check out St. Johns College of Nursing (ASN and BSN), Cox College of Nursing (ASN and BSN), and Missouri State University (BSN). There are also LPN programs in Reeds Springs (Gibson Tech, I believe), ADN program at Crowder College in Neosho, and a BSN program at MSSU in Joplin. Hope this helps you out. Good luck in your factfinding.

You can also check the Missouri Division of Professional Registration which has schools listed under the link that reads: Listing of Approved Nursing Programs in the State of Missouri and then be sure also to check the link on that page that reads: Pass Rates. This will give you a good idea of how successful their students are prepared for passing the NCLEX for licensure.

Good luck!!
