2. BCTC Fall 2017

   carrieljp replied to carrieljp's topic in Kentucky

   I went to yesterdays conference and was a bit disheartened. I knew how the categories were separated, but I don't think I realized that EVERYONE who falls into the top category requirements gets accepted before ANYONE in subsequent categories is cons...

   Hey there, So far, my anatomy book has been the most expensive book I've purchased. Several people from my A&P class rented theirs- one even rented one edition older for something like $30 or $40 (and she still got an A in the class, no problem)....

   I didn't think it was too bad. I overloaded with courses and didn't have much time to study, so I didn't do as well as I could've. I got a comprehensive score of 131, verbal in the 84th percentile. When are you taking yours?

   Hi there! Is anyone here applying to BCTC's nursing program for this fall- 2017? I'd love to meet some fellow hopefuls!! Just took my NLN exam today and wasn't thrilled with the results, but they are above what is required, so it is what it is. Still...

   Cook26-- thanks for the answer! Luckily I've been accepted to BCTC already and I have my schedule sorted out for Spring and Fall so I can apply for their RN program in February of 2017, hopefully to finish and graduate with my Associates in May of 20...

   I'm a 26-year-old, first-time student living in Lexington, KY. My desire to be a midwife is very new but I'm able to begin pursuing the education right away, starting from the very bottom. In your opinion, would it be better to pursue an Associates t...

   Thank you for your response, Jules! An email option sounds good, and definitely less risk of getting a no!

10. Asking Midwife to Coffee/ Chat?

    carrieljp posted a topic in CNM

    I've just recently decided to pursue a career as a CNM. I'm starting from the bottom and anticipate 5-6 years before I can even begin a CNM Masters program. Is it too early to start networking with other midwives in my area? I just love the midwife w...
