1. Sigh. (crossing fingers)

   Kmmo320 replied to Kmmo320's topic in TEAS

   We could write in the booklet, were encouraged to. No calculators allowed, or scrap paper. I got my scores..they are "ok" I am slightly above the minimum required by my school, so I am not out totally, but if a lot of people did better than me... I ...

2. Sigh. (crossing fingers)

   Kmmo320 posted a topic in TEAS

   I took the TEAS V yesterday, was paper based. I registered so late, it was hard to find study materials, so I really have no one to blame but myself... I am 100% positive I NAILED the reading and English portions. I have a BA in English and have jus...

3. Why can't I get beyond the wait list?

   Kmmo320 replied to darkem's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There are 3 other schools I didnt apply to because they all were about an hour drive each way. I am not willing to do that right now, with gas prices as they are, seeing as I would have to also cut my work hours way back.

4. Why can't I get beyond the wait list?

   Kmmo320 replied to darkem's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is frustrating. I start to feel bitter about how easy it is for kids right of high school to get right into a 4 year nursing program, but I already have a BA degree and have to deal with getting pre-reqs done if I want to transfer my gen curricu...

5. Rejected: Umass Dartmouth

   Kmmo320 posted a topic in Massachusetts

   Got my rejection letter yesterday from Umass Dartmouth. I knew it was going to happen. I was 90%sure I wouldn't get in, but I guess I was still holding on to that 10% hope. I applied way too late and my GPA is decent but not what I would call "comp...

   Kmmo320 replied to KB87's topic in Massachusetts

   I applied for the LPN because I figured why not. I have a Bachelor's degree already, but in English and now I decided to go for nursing. I applied at Umass Dartmouth and Rhode Island College...RIC said it has some pre-reqs. but Umass doesn't, unless ...

7. Bristol Community Collge Nursing Program Fall 2012

   Kmmo320 replied to KB87's topic in Massachusetts

   Yeah, it was ****. He was very informative. Like I said, I knew I had zero chance of getting into the Nursing program, so I was there for the OTA which I actually think I have a good shot of getting into. I plan on doing that and if I like it, great,...

8. Just Took The dreaded TEAS test

   Kmmo320 replied to Star1278's topic in TEAS

   I have absolutely no worries about the reading/writing portions. I am an English major. No worries. Science and Math, however, I am worried. Only because I have been out of high school for over 15 years and the only math or science courses I was requ...

9. Bristol Community Collge Nursing Program Fall 2012

   Kmmo320 replied to KB87's topic in Massachusetts

   I went to the Infor session last night. I did not apply for this coming fall because of my lack of pre-reqs, but I did apply to the OTA program which I hope to get into for now and see what happens. (its actually my plan C if no other schools want me...

    omg I am going through the same emotions right now! One minute I think, how can I NOT get it? and the next I am thinking this is ridiculous that I am even trying!!!

12. Starting Over

    Kmmo320 replied to CheetahPrintScrubs's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey there, I am also in MA with a non-nursing degree (BA/English). I wanted to go for nursing in the first place, but I foolishly let people talk me out of it. I had people telling me that jobs are hard to find, or that Nursing is too hard, too gros...

13. Do you ever feel like your not smart enough?

    Kmmo320 replied to mommytorres's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I know quite a few nurses...and some of them I always felt are not that bright. So it makes me think..if THEY can pass a Nursing program and actually get jobs as nurses..then surely I can too! I have already been through a full college experience whi...

14. Any one else applying right now

    Kmmo320 replied to canut's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just finished applying. Now I have to just sit and wait. The "official" deadlines for all the places I applied to was between March31-Apr15th or so, but the reccomended deadlines were all Jan31-feb1st. I didn't really decide to GO FOR IT!! until Fe...

15. Venting/Job Market

    Kmmo320 replied to Kmmo320's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am not doing a very good job at getting my point across. I am saying that I want to be a nurse. And for the first time in my life, I am not going to let other people sway me from what I want to do. I am agreeing that the "no jobs" thing is not a go...
