I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not taking out any loans for school. I also can't speak for anyone else's success after graduation for school, however I know a good number of graduates personally, who graduated, passed NCLEX first attempt. Al...

Well.....if you can afford it, then you can. If you can't....you can't. Me personally, have a 3.8 sci based gpa, I'm not waiting on a comm college list for years, just for an associates certificate. I agree it's expensive to most. But great school, I...

I'm in nursing school right now, and honestly, I used to think I was being judge when I said I was becoming a nurse.... Whenever I'd tell someone I'm in school, and they'd ask what am I going to be, I'd say "well don't judge me, but a nurse". I didn'...
Keeping the working to a minimum is ideal. However, for a lot of us, including myself, life still has it's curves while in school, so we have to work. The best advice I would say, is don't working somewhere that is flexible, because while in nursing...

I could imagine you and others would feel this way, there's so much to learn in nursing school! And not a whole lot of time for application! So, trust yourself, and be willing to still learn even though school is over! That'll be the key. You've clea...

WCU is a great program. It is expensive, and the job market for new grads is tough period, no matter what school you attend. WCU is a school you attend if you're 110% committed to nursing. Like I said before, it is expensive. But it's hard work.

I say the old fashion way of reading, reading, re reading, then reading again! I was in an accelerated A&P course, which was 8 weeks, we attended classes 3 days a week, and we had 3 exams a week. One day a chapter exam, next day a lab exam, so on...

I think LVN program would be great! I just want to say, any other classes you take, give your all too! Especially if you're in California, nursing is so crowded, we have a million ppl trying to get into nursing school, and the minimum gpa of 2.5 may ...

Well, you'd want to choose the school that's accredited especially if you plan to continue your nursing education, but if not then you'll be fine as long as you get your license.
