Enjoy it! I wish I had a summer:)

Yes, it happens everywhere but you have to think about it. If students can't pass the class, they may have a hard time passing the NCLEX. Nursing school is hard and the school is preparing you to...

I will say that's the hospital I work at now won't let students from the for-profit school do clinicals there. I also know my boss doesn't hire people from the for-profit schools. They come out of...

I'm not sure about UAH but I would think they would require you to have health insurance. I know Jeff State in Birmingham does. They did not provide heal insurance but they did provide the...

I took A & P and Micro in the summer and made Al's in both o them.

Commit to memory the cranial nerves! You will need to know those for nursing school and beyond.

I understand this frustration and that education is not free but technically, you are being taught. You may not like the way you are being taught or that your instructor doesn't cover everything in...

Well, just a warning but a lot of nursing classes in programs like that. I had an instructor who put power points up, read straight from them and that was it. It would be a 75 minute lecture on 150...

I'm just the opposite. I took it last summer of 8 weeks. I can't imagine having 16 weeks of that!

I would recommend retaking. The math class counts towards a lot of points in your overall points for acceptance. If you can bring that grade up, I would. It may be the difference between acceptance...

That's great! Thanks for the info!!

Not true. We have had a few select all that apply that is every single option and we had one that was only one answer.

Wow! We don't seem to have that problem in the program I am in. Sounds like I'm lucky!

I give it a 7-10 days then call. I would NOT have your friend follow up.

I girl once showed up for a second interview in yoga pants and a tshirt. I heard my boss ask her, "Did you just roll out of bed?" She showed her to the elevator.

Seems a little harsh don't you think?! OP, I understand. I've gained weight too. I think it's hard not to when you work, go to school, and spend every second in the library. And I know for me,...

Great questions!! I start OB/Peds in 12 days:)

I do a lot of peer interviews at work and from the time we interview them to the time they are actually hired can take up to a month. Once we give our feedback, our manage has to make a decision,...

Dosage Calculation made incredibly easy is a good one. And if I can make a suggestion, learn the dimensional analysis way of doing dosage calculation. I also like the Pearson Review and Rationale...

I'm not placing words in your mouth. That's what you said. I quoted you. I think you just need to realize that every nursing program is different and every nursing student is different. Some are...

So you are allowed to share your opinion but someone else isn't? Interesting.

I would start now. We don't have new graduate programs where I work. We take new students any time of the year. I'm actually not sure what that type of program is. Good luck in your job search!

I haven't seen how it would be helpful but others may disagree.
