Hi all!!

Published

Hello everyone!!

I am new here.....I have been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to post.

I have my BS degree in social work and have worked for the State for about eight years but have always wanted to pursue a degree in nursing...so I have finally applied to a BSN program and have an interview in about two weeks...currently I am taking A&P I

I have checked out some of the websites on bones from an earlier post and I'm hoping they are going to help me :)

Hugs and best wishes to all

Hi girls...

Sorry it took me a day or two to get back....I'm studying for my bone test which is tomorrow...

I live in Athens, TN; Southeast TN; this is a very small town but we are almost exactly halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga; in fact the school that I've applied to is in Athens however we will attend classes and clinicals in Knoxville

Nice to meet some other folks from TN :) Are either of you planning to go to UT? Or UTC?

Good luck!!

Hey Heather, sorry about the delay in getting back to you. I'm still taking the pre-reqs. I would have been able to apply over the winter break for Fall '08 program, but I needed Chemistry. :madface: Grrr... Haha, oh well. Bones? We get into bones in the first few weeks of next semester. Now we're doing the Kreb cycle. Yuck. :) Good luck with the bones. There's a lot of helpful tips on here to help with that.

If all works out, I'll finish up all of my pre-reqs and then apply for Fall of '09. I'm thinking about getting my CNA over the summer so that I can get some good experience before I get into the program. Also, we've got a point-based admission, and the CNA helps a lot. :) Have you decided on a school/program?

Wow!! Congratulations on being so active in your pursuit of your nursing degree. I wish I knew during my Junior year of high school what I wanted to do.

I commend you for getting a jump start on your career goals. With determination and dedication you will be in great shape!!

Good Luck!!
