2. 2009 Rush Gem Summer Applicants

   Mmmkay replied to hereandnowiamu's topic in New Nurse

   Mmmkay replied to hereandnowiamu's topic in New Nurse

   Gocubsgo, Don't worry! I don't have much work/volunteer experience either and I was accepted into the winter class. The interview was very relaxed compared to a few others I suffered through! As long as you are articulate about your strengths, weakne...

   Mmmkay replied to Mmmkay's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thank you Atomicwoman! I will give them a call tomorrow. Sometimes I think the most challenging part about getting ready for nursing school is being organized, tenacious and having back-up plans as far as the preparation goes. Best wishes. Gratefully...

9. Microbio Pre-Req Emergency!

   Mmmkay replied to Mmmkay's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah... I called 40 bajillion schools last night trying to sort out my options. I was just hoping someone may know something I missed. Like whether or not I'd have to take them through "continuing education" dept or if I can take them at a university...
