I had Lasik done last year after I completed my pre-reqs. It was the best decision ever. The price was competely out of my range but I paid in installments and have no regrets whatsoever. My vision was -5.25 and -5.75. I had glasses since 2nd grade a...
Britney, I know exactly how you feel. I also check the MAR about 10x and am constantly checking up on myself in so many areas.. I also have a problem handing tests in at school. I have to check that I fill in the same letters on the answer sheet tha...
I gained 10 lbs since I started my pre-req classes last year. I definately think studying attributes to this. I work full time (sitting at a desk all day), then go to school 3 nights a week (more sitting) and then study for several hours a week (sitt...
I will be starting the nursing program at Abington (Dixon School of Nursing) this August. They have a great reputation and an extremely high passing rate for the NCLEX exam. They do hold open houses throughout the year that would be helpful to you. A...
My composite score was 136 and I got accepted. Sounds like most schools want 100 or above but depends on how many applicants and how many openings are availabe. Your GPA also plays a big part in getting accepted.

Tamara, I just received my acceptance letter last week for Dixon School of Nursing. They have a great program and had a passing rate of 99% for the NCLEX for last years graduates. Are you applying for this Fall? Let me know. Cathy
Maureen, I got my acceptance letter today :monkeydance: Can't tell you how happy I am (and relieved). This has been such a stressful time. I probably still won't be able to sleep tonight but at least now it's because of joy, not anxiety. I hope yo...
No, I still didn't hear anything. I am so wound up right now. I am also getting the phone calls from everyone asking if I got in. I called the school this morning to see if the letters were sent out and was told that they were in the process getting ...
Thank you all for the kind words.... I'm glad that I am not alone. For those who got in, I'm really happy that it worked out. For those of us who are still waiting, we are just going to have to suck it up and take it day by day... I will keep you pos...
I am pacing around, having crazy dreams and can't focus on anything until I get my decision letter for Nursing School. The decision date is 1/15/07 but just realized that it is a Holiday so there will be no mail. Was hoping, it would come today but N...

The interview was actually fun. It was very informal. I was so nervous about it but felt at ease instantly. There were 4 people interviewing you at the same time but they were really nice. I felt they basically just wanted to see your personalilty. ...

Yes, I applied for early decision. Had my meeting interview in December and was told letters will go out on 1/15/07. Just realized that there is no mail on that date, so will now have to wait an extra day. I am going crazy waiting. I applied for the...

Thanks Kathy! I am going to go out this weekend and get the NCLEX guide. It's comforting to know that you were able to manage a decent workload along with going to school. I know once I tell my bosses (Doctors) that I am going to Nursing School they...
