1. Failed out of nursing school

   PRican replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes I do...I hope that I can do better at critical thinking especially on those exams. That's a big struggle for me because the information they gave us was not on the exam at all!?

2. Failed out of nursing school

   I edited the post to say I was in LPN school. Sorry for the confusion!

3. Failed out of nursing school

   PRican replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm sorry. I didn't mention that I was in the LPN program. I need something short term until I can get into RN school. CNA pay is not enough to support me through a BSN program. My job at the hospital requires the RNs to have the BSN. Thanks for rea...

4. Failed out of nursing school

   PRican replied to PRican's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you for your kind words. I just can't believe that I failed by 0.1 point. I'm just afraid that I will fail again and be stuck as CNA for the rest of my life. I have to wait a whole year before I can apply again. But Fall 2020 is also around the...

5. Failed out of nursing school

   PRican posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hello everyone, I failed out of LPN school after one semester (last fall semester). I took this Spring semester off to deal with the failure (thank goodness I did with the COVID-19 situation). Since failing out, I honestly don't know what to do. I ...

   I re-applied for the Fall semester after I received my rejection letter, but then I ended up transferring to Southern Crescent Tech and got accepted into their LPN program this fall! Congrats to everyone who got in!

   I did get accepted to the school awhile back, but I choose not to because it is so expensive. I got accepted into the LPN program at Southern Crescent Tech for this fall and accepted my seat. I wish you all the best of luck getting into nursing schoo...

8. Hello, any medical assistant out there?

   PRican replied to Brown34's topic in CNA/MA

   I am a medical assistant. And it sounds like the school she is attending is scamming her big time. She should of went to a community or technical college. Even though they allowed her to get her education without a high school diploma, most doctor's ...

9. Leaving the hospital

   PRican posted a topic in Technicians

   I currently work at the hospital as a tech and I am unhappy. I have my reasons why. Before I got a job at the hospital, I worked in LTC for over three years and I loved it. But the work was becoming too much on my body and decided to go to the hospi...

    Now that I have taken the HESI, I will tell you my experience. At Chamberlain, they weigh heavily on the English and the Math sections than anything else. I wouldn't stress too hard on the sciences. Just primarily focus on the English and Math. I pas...

    Yes, there are deadlines but it depends on what term you plan on attending. Chamberlain does not have any prerequisites. Once you are accepted, you are automatically a nursing student and can take your core classes while being one. Yes, they have sum...

    I haven't taken the exam yet. I was told that it is an untimed test. I went to the advisor and scheduled the exam for November 17th. As far as studying it, I was told to use the apps and look up HESI questions online like on quizlet. But I also bough...

    I'm meeting up with an advisor today to begin the process. I plan on starting as soon as possible. I don't want to waste anymore time than I already did. I will let you guys know how it went.

    Well I didn't get into the LPN program so I plan on getting the BSN.

    Thank you. I'm thinking about skipping the LPN route altogether and going for the BSN.
