Danisax-

I wouldn't worry about turning it in right on March 1. They will be accepting applications all the way until May 15th and they will not make any decisions until after the deadline. There's no advantage to turning it in early as compared to waiting until the very last minute. They will look at ALL applications, and they will admit based on the criteria met and point totals, not on a first come, first served basis. They usually will take 2-4 weeks after the deadline to send out acceptance/denial emails, so I wouldn't stress out about it.

Good luck!

Hey, but it is a good idea to turn it in at the beginning, because you may be a good candidate but if you are at the end, they can say "hey, all the good candidates were chosen, we don't have space for you this term"

I wanted to double check something.....I am finishing up my pre-reqs this semester. The application period is until May 15th, the end of the semester is around the 5th or so. Do I have to wait until the grades are posted to turn in my application? Or can I turn it in now and they will hold onto it until the grades are in?

Also, I took the health career core at Sheridan Tech. Do I just turn in my certificate of completion where I would turn in the applications? Or does that go to another department/someone else?

Yeah, I would prefer to apply right away. I'm going to stop by admission next week to ask about the date again. Hey, I was looking into the CAE's classes, which is what I'm taking during summer. They offer an optional math review class, I'm thinking of taking it b/c I'm so scared of the math class, what do you think?

Thanks for the reply!

You take it to admissions together with the application!

Oh ok, thanks. I was hoping to turn it in earlier so that I can have it marked off on my degree audit (lol, I'm anal like that). But I guess it makes sense just to wait.

What campus are you going to attend?

The math course offered is the same course you take in the program. In fact, if you register for the course, you will attend with first semester nursing students. Then, you must repay and retake the same course with the same instructor and material once accepted in the program. The math required for the program is basic rates and proportions. So, I guess it depends on how much you struggle with math.

I would say be sure you know how to take the lecture/theory tests. Many students study the math or read ahead in the book but enter the program and struggle because they don't know how to take the test. I would recommend working on your critical thinking skills and nursing test taking skills.

LeavingteachingRn is absolutely right! My sis took her Process 1 test yesterday and she said that it was hard. She is pretty bright, passed the PCAT and is very studious. However, she said on the test, there is always at least 2 questions t hat seem that they both could be the correct answer. She made 137 combined with her other tests and essays to get a B. The passing mark was a cummulation of 118 pts. The test was 75 questions in 75minutes.

Study your math and she said to read ahead, review anatomy and if there is anyway to start reviewing NCLeX style questions ( I know which is hard when you have not had the material yet). One of her friends failed and will have to retrack. She said lots of students came out of the exam looking shell shocked.

I was suprised to hear that they have to place their id on the tables, the teacher directs them where to sit, and she has at least 4 different tests that she gives out. They also have to place their backpacks at the back of the class and once you are in, you are not allowed out until she has collected ALL of the tests so make sure u go to the bathroom first.

I guess there were issues of cheaters.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I just didn't want to worry too much about math and focus on the other classes. The lecture/theory tests are for the math class? And how can I work on my critical thinking skills and nursing test taking skills? I just wanted to prepare (as much as possible) during summer. I have 2 very good friends that started in January and they just keep on telling me to prepare emotionally. I guess what's worrying me the most is having no time for my kids. Right now I do everything for and with them. They are 6 and almost 8, and I'm a room parent for both classes, I take them to all the activities, I do homework, cook etc... I'm trying to arrange for my father-in-law to come help me for the first 3 months (I don't have any family around).

You do have to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally, and be ready to hear and be yelled at by your teachers..... I remember that I almost cried a few times during clinicals.

Now as an RN, I don't understand why teachers have to be so mean--- you do have to have a thick skin sometimes when talking to some doctors and even some of your fellow RN's are total bullies and just pick and look for things to say "your license is on the line, not mine"

As long as my patient is a live, & there is no harm done to my patients or jeopardize the safety of my nursing care, I know my license is not on the line-- I keep telling myself every time I go in to work.
