JJC 2013 Spring Nursing Applicants ?

[Gstar]

Hello - this is my very first time posting a new topic, hopefully I'm doing this correctly.

Just wanted to see if there are any ladies/gentlemen out there applying into the nursing program for the Spring 2013 semester. We apply the first two weeks of August - and then does anyone know how long until we take the TEAS test? I keep getting told different things, it's confusing.

Speaking of.....Hopefully I'm accepted and can then maybe make some friends. I'm so sick and tired of the people who tell you one thing that's untrue, all to mess with your head and make you second guess anything you've ever known about this nursing program. I know this is a competitive field and all, but sheesh already, the lies and manipulation have been unreal!

Also, I have to say, I admire anyone who has (especially while working FT w/a family) gone to school to take these pre-reqs while not even knowing if you will get in. The stress I have experienced, the stress and torture I have put my family through while leaving 3-4 nights a week after work, to go to school, while not even knowing if I'll be accepted, has been beyond brutal. I wish we could write an essay on all that we've sacrificed in hopes that would make some of the admissions counselors feel guilty enough to just put an approved stamp on our applications :)

Good luck to you all!

Hi ALL

I posted a few times earlier....I'm in the day program as well...

And I hear and feel your frustrations. I am very nervous as well & need to schedule daycare

[zamrn]

Sorry I didn't look back. Congratulations! Scheduling daycare certainly will be a biggie for all of us. Let's all be positive and be thankful for our blessings and family and for a new beginning.

Thank you for your helpful comments. It is appreciated. Congrats on almost finishing the program!

Yes, def grateful.

On the other hand, in general there has been a lot of "hazy" direction since the start of my journey getting in. So I hear the frustration indeed.

I thought it would be such a relief getting in. Boy, was I wrong. I was happy for a minute and remembered so much warnings that I started getting nervous. Esp with the "new 80% rule".

Would anyone like to meet for coffee or something to talk?

Strongfaith.......I think that's a great idea! Maybe after registration? So we can compare schedules and such?

I know for myself, I have two exams and a paper to write over the next few weeks. Meeting for coffee prob wouldn't be possible for me. I'm already feeling a bit overwhelmed. If you guys meet up sooner I'll probably have to catch you next time. :)

Yes, def grateful.
