   chichi9 replied to Hawaii011's topic in Tennessee

   Honestly, it is incredibly difficult to find these positions now, especially if you are not a registered CNA. Many are also unpaid now. I am a third semester nursing student with great gpa and a prior degree, and have been applying everywhere since ...

   Hi - I'm starting the program this Fall, not sure how the points system works, but I think having a prior Bachelor's degree may play a big part. I have a BS degree (3.0-ish GPA), got a B in A&P I, but never took the ACTs (I took the SAT's in hig...

   chichi9 replied to carygt3's topic in Florida

   Haha, JUST got an email as I read your response... I didn't get in either. I have a feeling they got ALOT of applicants for the fall, I think it was very competitive. I guess prior alumni don't get any special consideration. Good luck to everyone e...
