ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

Nursing Students Pre-Nursing

Published

I wanted to start a thread for those of you who have or will apply to ADN programs for the Fall 2011 semester. I have started the process but I have completed my application yet. I am nervous and super stressed. Join this thread so we can vent together. Share our journeys into nursing school.

I'm a Fall 2011 hopeful too :) I take my HESI on Dec. 1st and my application is due by Jan. 21. Currently I am in A&P 1, Statistics, Speech, and Developmental Psych. I have A's in everything except A&P which i have a low B in :( Hoping to bring it up though. My back up plan if i dont get in is to get my LPN and then reapply for the LPN Mobility Program! Good luck to yall!

Glad to see that I am not the only one stressed out about waiting.

CCC12, I am in the same boat you are in. I am applying to both the LPN and RN programs at my community college. I feel so stressed about not having enough points to get into the RN program, I want to "cover my tracks" and apply to the LPN program too. If I get into either one I will be happy because that will mean a better future for me and my daughter. I want her to look up to. I have made so many bad decisions in my life I just want to make myself and her proud. That's my goal. Everyday I look into her big brown eyes gives me hope and motivation that I can do it.

Everyone, keep striving! Soon we will be posting about our acceptance letters and I wish all of you the best

I feel the same way..I want my children * have a 21mth old son and im 8mths preg with a girl* to go to school and make the right decisions from the start...my husband and I both put off school for too long...and I dont want my kids to to the same. My husband is graduating next week...so now its my turn!!

thank you!

honestly..i feel some major mommy guilt for even thinking about going to school next fall...baby girl will only be 9 months old... i was able to work at home full time and take care of my son full time so i feel like im short changing our little girl.

when i was going to school full time before I wasnt married and I didnt have kids...since I had my son all i've taken is online classes so im not sure how i will feel leaving them at daycare..even though I know an education for me is important.

a lot to think about!!

Gosh, I haven't even started applying yet. I still need to get 3 classes done, and I will not be done until May. Is it worth my while to begin applying this early, if I will not start until August 2011?

It would be a good idea to get the ball rolling now so that you will not be stressed out trying to get everything together. I probably will not be finished until the summer with my pre-reqs but the application for Fall 2011 semester is January 31. We get our acceptance/denial letters in May. Ask your school when the deadline for applications is and get an early start :)

Good idea! Thanks. My husband is about done with the program I am trying to get into. I helped him apply, but I really don't remember how early we started. Thanks for the suggestion!

How are you guy's TEAS scores or other Nursing Enterance test scores?

78..not the greatest but they seemed pleased as they take anything over 65... this is for the LPN school that Im accepted too. If i go somewhere else I will be retaking it and getting a better score..I bombed out of fractions and it drug my whole score down.

Don't feel bad. I got an 80% and the part I messed up on was Science. My other scores were high. But for my school you have to get at least a 65. Hopefully, I will be ok. Crossing my fingers for State Board Testing in a couple of weeks. Really nervous. You can basicly say that if I don't get my CNA, my dreams for nursing school are dead (at least for the RN program)
