1. BSN - no experience and lots of children

   annabananaof8 replied to kat1822's topic in General Nursing

   Hi! I saw this thread and I just had to comment because we sound quite a bit alike. I am a mama of eight (yeah…I am crazy) and I’ll graduate with my ADN in December. I’m heading straight into the BSN program this fall with my goal to eventually ge...

2. Centra College of Nursing

   annabananaof8 replied to annabananaof8's topic in Virginia

   Here's the link for their program page. The "Moodle" link there also has contact information listed on the left side. They have a Facebook page but they aren't the best about connecting with people there. When I applied I printed out the application...

4. White Nursing Student Shoes

   annabananaof8 replied to jsm1917's topic in General Students

   I got some white Sketchers shoes with memory foam for my program. I've seen so many get clogs and I just don't think they seem that comfortable. You can get them for around $40-$60/pair. ?

5. Centra College of Nursing

   annabananaof8 posted a topic in Virginia

   Hi All! I'm wondering if anyone here is a graduate or current student of Centra College of Nursing in Lynchburg, VA. I was recently accepted for the upcoming fall term. I'd love to hear about your experiences, things I need to be aware of, etc.... ...

6. ABSN VS ADN

   annabananaof8 replied to amas's topic in General Students

   Hi there! I had the exact same issue when I was trying to decide what program to go in to! I ended up going for my ADN, with the intention that as soon as the ink dries on my license, I'll enroll in the BSN and finish that up (and the employer help...

   That is correct! And thank you so much! ?

8. I Got In!

   annabananaof8 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just wanted to share that I found out I was admitted to the ADN nursing program I applied to! I wasn't expecting to hear anything until May because the application deadline is March 31st and they typically don't send out letters until late April/ea...

9. Straight A students..

   annabananaof8 replied to Delcon's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm normally a reader, but as I have gotten older, I'm finding I'm more visual than I used to be! Now I just make notes of what the professors says is important, and then I will go over the chapter summaries and hit the main points in my books and th...

10. Kaplan Results...Decision Time...

    annabananaof8 replied to annabananaof8's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Oh no I just meant the Kaplan entrance exam that the ADN school has us take. The school I applied to is accredited and recognized by the BON so I'm good to go there! Thanks!

11. Kaplan Results...Decision Time...

    annabananaof8 replied to annabananaof8's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The deposit wouldn't be refundable, which is what makes it so hard to decide. I can always delay in hopes I do get an admission letter! I keep checking the mail for the financial aid package from the BSN school because that would really help make my ...

12. White Swan Sizing-Help!

    annabananaof8 posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    Hello All! I am trying to shop for my scrubs for nursing school, and I'm having a really hard time with sizing. I checked our (not so local, but the only one around) uniform store, and they don't even carry the brand my school requires, so I thought...

13. Kaplan Results...Decision Time...

    annabananaof8 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi all! I *finally* finished the last step I need to apply to nursing school, which involved taking the Kaplan exam. I unfortunately didn't have time to study for it, and consequently my writing score wasn't amazing. I ended up with an 84 overall (10...

14. Crash Course - Hank Green

    annabananaof8 replied to aquakenn's topic in General Students

    I LOVE those videos. I used them religiously in my A&P 1 class (teacher never actually taught us; we had to self-teach), and I'll probably use them again as a refresher before exams during A&P 2.

15. Should I Even Start?
