Calling all Paducah, KY Nurses!

U.S.A. Kentucky

Published

I am a pre-nursing student at WKCTCS (Paducah) and noticed the KY forum seems overrun with people in Lexington-Louisville area. If you are a current or former student at the college or just a Paducah nurse in general give a shout out. We newbs need some good resources and some insider info on the local nursing scene.

I am a 32 year old male starting my nursing classes either spring or fall 2010 (may need the prereqs from fall to bankrupt a 10-year old B.A. GPA to get accepted). I am interested in ICU at either local hospital and eventually getting my CRNA.

Unfortunately, it says a complete scholarship application has to be submitted, and the scholarship deadline for 09-10 school year has already passed. I think it may be too late for us....but we can apply for the following year....

Hello. I also applied for Spring 2010 admission at WKCTC. I just found this site and I'm so glad I did!

So I guess you guys haven't heard anything yet? I dont know why you would have. I guess I'm just anxious! I went to the first conference so it's been so long since I heard anything at all from the nursing department. I'm so sick of waiting, I've been doing pre-reqs for 1 1/2 years and still have another semester to go...If i'm lucky!! I was going to apply to LPN also just to double my chances, but I decided against it. I want to be an RN, then get my MSN and no offense to LPNs but it seems like it adds more time on. well i'll stop posting useless stuff!LOL. Can't wait to find out!!

No nothing yet. I understand being tired of waiting. I've been doing gen eds for a year and got the fall semester left ( if I'm lucky to! LOL). I'm just so ready to be a nurse! I'm so glad the wait is almost over. It seems like at the end of every semester I get worried thinking "Am I going to get all A's, to keep my GPA up for nursing?" It would keep me up at night. I have absolutlry devoted myself to school and tried my hardest to excell in every class (didn't make me popular with some of my class mates!) but that's okay because I have a 4.0 to show for it.

I'll definatley post if I hear anything!

64 points is the cutoff this semester. congrats all. I will have to wait till fall, no biggie.

I'm in!!!! Just checked the mail and I got my acceptance letter!!!! Woohoo!!!

The letter I recieved stated that students with 60 pts or higher were accepted in to the program....did you receive a letter stating you did not get in? If they bumped you back up to 61 you may need to look for your acceptance letter....
