Hey guys it's mimi.b-

I have applied for the fall 2009 semester of nursing at West Kentucky community and technical college. I'll find out in about 2-3 weeks whether I got in. If i didn't, i still have two general education classes to take (writing 2 and developmental psych) so it won't be to bad if i have to wait a semester. I have 2 kids and I work as a CNA, and i live in Princeton (50 minute drive). Just some background(not that anyone cares!)

my question is- what can i expect as far as WK's nursing program goes? Or is anyone else here applying to there? I meet all kinds of people in my classes who are pre-nursing majors, but i don't know anyone who applied for the fall, or anyone who is IN the program so any help would be appreciated!

Congratulations on which ever program you choose. I guess it kind of depends on what you are comparing it to. Their pass rates are about the same when it comes to their boards. That is really the only thing I know to compare. Personally, I have heard good and bad things about different nursing schools in Kentucky~the only one I personally have experience with is Spencerian (which is a horrible school!). All I know is that you have to do what best for you. Statistically~there isn't much of a difference. And, nursing school is demanding enough, so eliminate as many stressers as you can, if you can. Money, location, and drive time are all important factors to consider~especially if you have a family!

Thanks, I have made up my mind to go to Columbia State. I know that it is a good program, and hospitals are not going to care what program you went to, just if you pass the boards. So, with having a family and all, Columbia State is my better choice. But, I hope that you have a great time at Western and let me know how things are going for you!

I will be sure to post. Good luck to you as well!

mimib,

How are you liking it at WKCTC? I chose to go there this fall. Are the instructors helpful? How did you like Fundamentals and Mental Health? Any information you could provide, I would greatly appreciate.
