You can do it for sure. There are people in NS that don't work or have kids and drop or fail out, and others that have three kids and work full time, so it's all a matter of how bad you want it, the perspective you put your unique situation in, and p...
Thank you so much for the great post, that is what I was hoping for, not just an ill informed "no". I saw something similar to that before but was not sure if I was understanding it correctly. Anyway, for everyone who wants to know ... I looked into ...
Here's my two cents about what works for me. I find it very effective to go over several topics or facts and then review them while applying them to the nursing process, then write the topic down on a piece of paper with no other information, then lo...
I live in Houston. Your program is shorter than mine so we will be graduating at the same time. I am also an aspiring CRNA. I posted a question similar to something you just mentioned, about getting a masters first, before the program, and no one see...

No, actually, the NCLEX has a specific department dedicated to meeting any special needs a test taker may have, but they must contact them within a certain time frame before the exam. You can find some good information in the Saunders NCLEX book in t...
Absolutely! It's wonderful. Yes, it's hard, but really, I was so busy that I forgot how hard it was until my holiday break. Do you know what I mean? 7 people dropped/failed out so far out of 75, but they were complainers and I think that they got cau...
Our program is 75.00 or above, rounded to the hundredths as well. Also, keep in mind that you must have a good GPA for advanced nursing degrees. I didn't find a recorder helpful, most of what we are tested on in my school comes from what we read from...
Wow, that is very new to me. Hm, I assume because they don't want you going home with germs. Learn something new every day. A little research and I found that it is true at some facilities, I've never worked or had a clinical somewhere that did that,...
Relax? Yes, but you can relax and still read ahead. Based on my school this is my advice. I would begin to read the highlights of the text for you entire first semester, maybe learn how to do a care plan early, or a head-to-toe assessment. There is m...

I am in nursing school now and am friends with a student who cannot read. She visited with the program director and faculty long before the program and explained her situation and they worked out a way to get around it. She receives enough help from ...
Thank you everyone for your responses. I am sorry if I worried some of you with my post, I need to clarify. I didn't mean to post that I am looking for a short cut or fast track and do not believe they should be of such nonsense, simply a way to take...
Forgive my first sarcastic response, I guess what I should have said is that fortunately for the posters taking time out of their busy schedule to help me become informed, I have done much research on many schools regarding this subject before postin...
Thank you for your post on how to utilize Google, I will be sure to use that next time I am adding information to my CRNA database I have built up before posting here for additional information that some may have access to that I do not.
