   kms1978 replied to missjackson's topic in Mississippi

   You have to take the NET, but your 30 ACT should put you up pretty high on the list. Getting your lab classes out of the way is a good idea. The Nursing department offers classes that are just for Nursing Students to help fill your hours, such as Dir...

2. NWCC Fall 08?

   kms1978 replied to JenniferH's topic in Mississippi

   I have to agree with TRC's post - you may want to wait until you are in the program a few weeks - at least through your 1st test - to see how much free time you will have. I just graduated in May 2008, and I worked part time, but not the 1st semester...

   Hi! I won't be moving there until May 08, actually more like June 08. I am nervous about taking boards and then not being able to get a job. What about clinics or doctors offices?

   Hi! I'm looking for the same information. My husband is stationed at Schofield, and I'm in the same situation. I read somewhere that Tripler won't hire new grads. Do you know if that is true?

   kms1978 replied to glaze78's topic in Mississippi

   I started in August, and I wish I had realized how fast paced it is, and that the workload does not let up. So if I could tell you anything, it would be to use your time wisely, prepare ahead of time for tests, and when you start to feel burned out, ...

    For those of you in the RN program at NWCC... if you are starting in the fall, have you purchased any thing yet? I know the uniforms are being changed, but I was wondering about the stethoscope in particular. I looked online and there is such a huge ...

    Actually, they tell you not to take Micro until you have had A&P1 and 2, but Micro worked with my schedule, and I didn't realize that until I was already attending class. I spoke with Dr. Rinaldy about not having the A&P classes and he told m...
