1. This is just very unfair, not sure about nursing future

   ravensroost replied to reesespoon's topic in General Students

   I made it through 2 semesters of an Associate degree RN program and then my husband got transferred to another state. In my new location, my only option was to start all over again in a BSN program. I thought it was going to be AWFUL, because I had s...

2. MTSU Hesi a2 exam. What score got you in??

   ravensroost replied to CrazyGoonRN's topic in Tennessee

   Hey CrazyGoon. Check out this link for MTSU admissions info: https://allnurses.com/tn-nursing-programs/mtsu-acceptance-letters-547427.html That's for regular students, I don't know if LPN-RN is a separate program. I don't think having another degree...

3. Why cant I transfer from one nursing program into another?

   ravensroost replied to preparing4thefuture's topic in Student Assist

   I'm in the same boat. I was one full year into an associate degree program when my husband got transferred to another state. Nobody in the new place would accept my nursing classes, even though I was a staight "A" student. This fall I'm starting over...

4. Thinking of quitting nursing program...

   ravensroost replied to laynem's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am from Tallahassee (Go Noles! or rather Go Trojans!!). And I moved to Alaska when I was in my early 20's. I didn't live in a tent though. I just had my little log cabin, my outhouse and my sled dogs. (Ah, those were the days...) I don't want to be...

5. MTSU or TSU nursing program...

   ravensroost replied to johnny depp23's topic in Tennessee

   I don't have any firsthand info on either school. I'll be going to MTSU next semester. However, I was advised by a nursing school advisor, not to even apply at TSU. She said something to the effect of "apply to more than one school, to make sure you ...

6. Please tell me what you would do if you were me...

   ravensroost replied to ravensroost's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, today is the deadline to accept my position in the associate degree nursing program. And I have not accepted it (they didn't give me an option to decline, just said to return it if I intended to come). So, BSN is the route I'm taking. There are...

7. *Vent*- Waitlist frustration

   ravensroost replied to hawkeyeginger's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Wow. That's absurd. Have you looked around at taking those 3 pre-reqs at another school this summer? Maybe those 18 slots won't be filled and you can get bumped up the waitlist. I'm sorry you're getting jerked around.

8. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

   ravensroost replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had a classmate that was almost kicked out of nursing school for pictures she posted on her facebook account. They were photos of her and other classmates posing with the dummies they use to practice procedures. But, it was the day that they were l...

9. Summer school anyone?

   ravensroost replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking English Comp II and History this summer. I start the BSN program in the fall and I have to have these completed by then. I'm doing them online, though. So my summer will still (hopefully) have some fun in it.

10. Nursing School Interview

    ravensroost replied to VeniVidiVici's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just had two interviews. One was individual, one was in a group of 5. The group interview was easier, in my opinion. More relaxed. The asked the group down the line of interviewees "why do you want to be a nurse?", "What do you think the role of t...

11. Rejected and Im not sure what to do? ),:

    ravensroost replied to uhohbube's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Have you had a sit-down conversation with the advisor at the nurisng school? I bet they can shed some light on what you were lacking that caused you to be rejected. My experience is that the advisors are usually pretty frank about what they're lookin...

12. Quick question regarding pre reqs

    ravensroost replied to Kennethspatta's topic in Pre-Nursing

    What would you do for the next year if you don't tackle the pre-reqs? I think that I would take them. You'll feel much better getting them out of the way.

13. Please tell me what you would do if you were me...

    ravensroost replied to ravensroost's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am leaning towards the BSN program, mostly because I think it will take me farther in the long run. Is it true that BSN RNs get hired faster? Promoted faster? Paid (slightly) more? I have no guarantee of scholarships. If I choose the Associate Degr...

    ravensroost posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Here's the situation: I am 38 years old, I have two kids in elementary school and a husband who supports us while I go to school. Financially, we are stable, but there isn't any extra money in the budget for tuition. At the advise of my academic advi...
