@ DUECSON

I try to get in the ADN program in Wallace in August 07. But before I can apply I must do the academics.

I've heard great things about the school. Petra you should be able to get accepted. Have you taken the compass exam? It's a reading comprehension exam. Try to take A7P as soon as you can because these are important classes.

Sorry for my stupid question but: what is A7P??? I´ll take my compass on January 4th (hoah, time is running :mad: ).

But - I guess that everything will be fine! I believe in God. That gives me a lot of power.

Yes, I am sure that Wallace is a great school and the best choise for me.

Petra1, please excuse me I was trying to say A&P as in anatomy and physiology.Have you taken ant prereqs and also will you be applying to the generic RN prgram? Oh! yes, since you believe in God and if God be for you then who can be against you. The Almighty is in your favor.

I went to Wallace and graduated from the ADN program in 1999. My 21 classmates and I all made great nurses...it was a pretty airtight program. Is Mr. Ortman still teaching Med Surg III? All his exams come DIRECTLY from the notes. You can't miss there. I think the pass rate was 97% when I went. Overall great education.

Not having enough students to apply is exactly what happened to me. I was accepted at WCC for spring 07; however, on the first day of class I learned the classs being cancelled b/c there were not enough students for the program. I was dissappointed, but I believe God has another plan. When one door closes another opens, so i'm hoping to get into CVCC in Phenix City alabama.

Hi DUECSON,

I am sorry to hear that. On 03/01/07 are the application packages for nursing school starting August 07 available.

At present my husband and I are thinking of the possibility that I quit college. It is because of the visa problems. At this time are no visas for nurses available und for a H-1B you have to wait round 5 years. We are not shure that my husband and I are able to stay the hole time. I guess we should make our decision soon.

I wish you all the best and good luck for your plans.

Hello, I am in the second semester of the RN program at Wallace in Dothan. They accepted about 120 students this semester and last semester was about the same when I started. Its a great program. You should at least apply, you never know until you try. I was accepted first try so I say go for it.

DUECSON · Feb 14, 2007

Those of us who were accepted into the program get an automatic spot in the fall program. Hopefully I can get closer to home.

I am just getting started and very nervous. I moved to Ozark, Albama just 2 weeks ago from Charlotte, NC. Economy had an effect on me where my lover and I had to leave due to not having no where to live. I moved down with my bestfriend/bother from the military and his family. I never had as much support like I do now.

I pray I make it through. Being a nurse has been a dream of mine for years. As a child I told my father I wanted to be a doctor and ever since til this day he calls me Doc. I hope to make him proud of me and my mother. My family period.

It's good to hear WCC has a high passing rate. I have one friend that told me WCC nurses/instructures do a weed out process. That's one thing I am nervous about. Expecially being a black male. I mean I wonder sometimes if they would be more worried about helping me or weeding me out. Either way I am focused and at this point in my life I never wanted something so bad as this. I know I will pass, I'm just trying to get prepared for the trails and tribulations I must face and overcome.

I hope to meet a good friend in school, someone I can study with and someone that is focused and determined to pass. Someone that is head strong and someone that can take a little challenge in life. Who knows maybe I'll meet a good friend on allnurses.com too.
