There is all this talk about how difficult it is to get into the prgrm and NOW i'm worried i'm not going to get accepted!:uhoh3:

here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it has pretty good reviews from other people as well.

Thanks for this link Bumblebee! It seems we might need it soon, I got an email that we are going to get another ATI test for Critical Thinking in the beginning of Sept. We had the TEAS, so I guess that was just the beginning.

Any advice from past Nursing students and Nurses is always greatly appreciated.

yeah! the lady from Jackson has been really nice at least with me, and it seems like they are really working in the organisation of every detail, today I received another email about the schedule and orientation...so far, I'm happy with my decision.:heartbeat

Hi there YSB82!

I am part of the JHS Scholars program, and I am starting the 4th semester this fall 08. Let me tell you that it has been a great year, and I am very thankful for all the opportunities and life experience Jackson has afforded me this past year. I am very excited to be part of the Jackson family when I graduate, and I sure you will be happy there too.

Now that I have said that, if you think that Jackson is at all organized, you must quickly take that thought out of your head or you will have a horrible time in this program. Jackson and MDC combined are some of the most poorly organized instiutions ever, but it is part of thier charm. You will grow to understnand this as time passes, but I thought I should let you know now that if you think that this year is going to be smooth sailing and that classes are going to be hard, just know that there are going to be set backs, late scedules, missed emails, etc. All of those things will make you stronger and more able to deal with real life. Well, good luck and I'll probably be seeing you on the 7th floor.

Thank you soo much for your replay, I really apresiate any advise or information I receive from people with more experience.

I know is going to be hard, yesterday I had the orientation and there were students that toll us some of their experience in the program. I am more than happy so far with my decision and with all the opportunities Jck offers, but I am very worried about how I am going to do it...

Righ now I work 32 hours a week, do you think I will have to stop working? what do you advise me to do, knowing that I have no one who can support me during all those 18 months... I have applied already to a loan, but they ask me for a cosigner and I don't have anyone...

Thanks in advance...
