1. The aggravation of it all

   kariace replied to kariace's topic in General Students

   I am more than grateful. It may not seem like it, but I'm very ecstatic. It was just at the time when I wrote this post that my frustration had gotten the better of me and I just needed to vent.

2. The aggravation of it all

   kariace replied to kariace's topic in General Students

   I wish I could still work. I actually cannot work since I was in a car accident and received a Tibial Plateau Fracture. It's just about heal since I get my cast off this Thursday and will be going to a Physical Therapist.

3. The aggravation of it all

   kariace posted a topic in General Students

   So... I have been struggling trying to pay for my college books for the past 5 weeks because my professors are so darn picky on keeping up to date on the "latest edition". My books costs me about $663 in total. So instead of me paying $100 for all 6...

4. Residency program vs Rehab job

   kariace replied to mlowell20's topic in General Nursing

   Wow this is a tough decision... I personally would choose the hospital job because as you've stated above it will help you build your job skills (if you planning on working in acute care when you move.) Also why is the pay so low? Is it because it's ...

5. Just when I thought I had it figured out

   kariace replied to FutureNurseKali's topic in General Students

   Resurrection University offers daytime, weekends and evening classes... Plus, my friend got accepted into this program and she didn't have all of her perquisites completed or in progress and that's because it depends on which schedule you choose. Ho...

6. Is it really this difficult to get into a nursing program?

   kariace replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You're right! My guidance counselor even told me about this as well and she said that other people tend to flock more to the cheaper schools for the reasonable tuition and then that makes the school become highly competitive. While the other expensiv...

7. Is it really this difficult to get into a nursing program?

   kariace replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, but I did not know transferring into a nursing program could be this difficult. I honestly thought it would just be like applying to any regural nursing program. But I'm also pretty sure the school would pick their own students before they even ...

8. Is it really this difficult to get into a nursing program?

   kariace posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So I just got an email back from one of the nursing programs I planned on applying to: I'm actually really glad that I emailed the school first since I was going to pay that $65 bucks for the application fee. Well now back to the drawing board...

9. So how does this work?

   kariace replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Oh, and the programs I'm applying to are three direct entry programs on a rolling basis. So I just need to submit one application to the university and I'd know in 2-3 weeks if I got accepted into the nursing programs. I like this option better inste...

10. So how does this work?

    kariace replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Wow, I wish I would have read your post sooner before I just emailed my future schools. I probably won't get an email back since I made it sound so confusing by technically asking, "how am I to get X,Y, and Z if X is Y, and I only have Z?". Lol I mad...

11. New Grad Residency Programs

    kariace replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I know what you mean. All the new grad residency programs where I live are all BSN required with no prior RN work experience. So I do feel like individuals with an ADN are not given much to work with in terms of being successful.

12. So how does this work?

    kariace replied to kariace's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I thought about emailing the school but I don't really know how to make sense of it or explain it to them without confusing them. It was hard enough trying explain myself in this post lol.

13. So how does this work?

    kariace posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Theoretically, could I apply to a college or direct entry nursing program (university) at the end of one fall semester with only 15 credits but then later obtain the rest of the credits (30) at the end of the next spring semester? Because I'm looking...

14. C in Anatomy.. uh oh.

    kariace replied to Mball925's topic in General Students

    Give A&P 2 a shot first and if you pass it with an A then I definitely wouldn't retake A&P 1. If you get no less then a B then that is still good too (it shows improvement from a C), just also keep your grade up in Chem 102 with no lab to kee...

15. Desire to go back to work after being inactive for a long time

    kariace replied to greenapples1's topic in Retired

    I also agree.
