   Hi everyone! I was supposed to start in April that is now June. I got the email about the Castle Branch zoom meeting which is incredibly inconvenient because it’s in the middle of a work day. I asked for the schedule as well and received no concrete ...

   Hey guys, so I finally got an answer. Although I applied before the deadline, the next class is full, so I will be considered for the fall semester. Prereqs start in April, so I guess I’ll just start those. Thanks everyone for your help!

   She didn’t have to take the TEAS at all? What was her experience in the program during the pandemic? I know! I have to do prerequisites and I’m afraid I won’t be able to start this term because I won’t be ready in time.

   It’s now been a week with no answered emails. Can anyone in the program tell me how it’s going? Also, should I just take the TEAS without them contacting me first?

   Thanks! I've emailed them twice. I'm not sure what else to do, and I'm getting a bad feeling that they don't respond timely.

    I will be working in a correctional facility. I registered right after graduation and I took my NCLEX in August and used the Kaplan class and their resources to study. I suggest you take your NCLEX ASAP. I liked the Kaplan course, although I know peo...

    I start a new job on Monday, so we'll see how that goes. I have positive thoughts about it though. Clinical valuations are pretty easy the clinical instructors tell you what you just need to work on for the next rotation. Everyone passes the first r...

    Post grad life is not as less stressful as you would assume it to be. It's a struggle finding a job that's not LTC, skill-less, or pays pennies. The gerontology project I actually had a different part and used my med-surf textbook for. It wasn't clea...
