   dmk3 replied to LDHarkins's topic in School Programs

   Medic90....what hospital do you work at (private message me)? I work at two local hospitals as well. I only applied to Highlands as well. So nervous and anxious about tomorrow. Crossing fingers and toes.

2. Georgia Highlands ASN Fall 2015

   dmk3 replied to LDHarkins's topic in School Programs

   I have all of the same thoughts and worries. I have applied to KSU but not for their nursing program...yet. If I don't I get accepted this year then it's onto some other major or program. These last couple of days are gonna be the worst, the wait is ...

3. Too old for BSN?

   dmk3 replied to forever88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At 24 years old you are probably still wet behind the ears. I've seen hundreds, if not thousands of new nurses under 25 come and leave the career within the first year because it is simply not what they thought. Think realistically of what you asking...

4. Georgia Highlands ASN Fall 2015

   dmk3 replied to LDHarkins's topic in School Programs

   First off....no need to be a nervous wreck so early! I can understand being nervous, but applications were due this week, almost a month after you applied. I think in the past I've heard that they don't even open and begin to look at them until Sprin...

5. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

   dmk3 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks! I appreciate that! I thought about every last detail with continuing towards the nursing path, it is just not worth the agony. Honestly, it would be to appease my deceased parents which doesn't make sense. Whenever I offer advice I tell peopl...

6. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

   dmk3 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   ALL the schools around here are very competitive. I can't travel too far because I have 3 children to look after, and I'm not the "bread winner". I wouldn't be giving up, just changing my path.

7. Working While in Nursing School

   dmk3 replied to alihoff93's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I went to an open house for the LPN program today. They said they schedule clinical time for 12 hour shifts and that does include Saturdays and Sundays. I only work Saturdays at the hospital, I've been doing that for 11-12 years now. I don't know if ...

8. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

   dmk3 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

   havehope.....I hope you get in for Spring!! I didn't think microbiology was as hard as the anatomy and physiology classes. I'm torn whether to give up the nursing, I would have to retake anatomy and physiology1 again and MUST get an A or not a chanc...

9. Can't get into nursing school!

   dmk3 replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am in a similar situation. Getting into the nursing program is a struggle. I don't really have any advice. If you REALLY want it, stick it out waiting or settle on a different health care related job. Nursing isn't for everyone, and there are many ...

10. I feel like I'm too old for this

    dmk3 replied to Lpn2014's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    23? You're still wet behind the ears!! My brother-in-law started med school in his 40s. I'm 40 and I know many that are older than myself going to school as well!! Us oldies only dream of being that young going through a nursing program!!! I wish I c...

11. Are You A Victim?

    dmk3 replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It is frustrating and exhausting to hear others complain. We all have circumstances!!!! Own up to your mistakes. We all make mistakes, not all of us can be perfect. Part of learning is fixing your mistakes. It's pathetic to blame others especially yo...

12. How do you accept the fact you might not get in?

    dmk3 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I didn't get in the first time I applied, but I was prepared for it. I wasn't prepared for telling my classmates, co-workers or others that I was denied. I'm still dealing with to tell I was denied and move on, or to just keeping going without admitt...

13. Georgia Highlands Fall 2013

    dmk3 replied to DMC87's topic in Georgia

    amorganfreeman....Don't give in so easily. If you aced A&P2 you can take A&P1 again and do well. The TEAS doesn't count that much towards your score either, and you can take that a couple times a year I believe. You're still so young too. You...
