Let me know if you have any question.. I used to be on this website a lot when I applied and wished I had someone already in the program to explain some things.. I am a second year student and can help with any question.

i have alot of questions is it possible to work whilw in the program and how many days and what are the times that you are in the program?

Yes, its possible. I wouldn't advice it until you get in and adjust to things. The beginning of nursing school is tough

but you slowly adjust. If you absolutely have to work, cut down your hours to a minimum of 24 a week. Not to scare

you but I have lost so many friends who failed out that were 4.0 students prior to nursing school. As far as how many days you'll be in school, it differs. Just to break it down tho, monday's are reserved for theory 9-12 or 2-5,, tues can be lab, thur & Fri 7-3pm are clinicals where you are in the hospital. Plus you have care plans to write(takes at least 10+ hrs to complete), study, etc.. Its a lot but can be done

Thank you. Congratulations on making it to the second year. Really, I would just like a better understanding of how a normal week is in the program, with lecture, lab, and clinicals? I like to be somewhat prepared as much as possible. I have two kids and as of right now I work full time so I definitely want to be prepared. I plan to possibly go to contingent when I start the program. What are some things that you wish you knew before going in?

Im still on track for signing up in December. Have you taken the HESI yet? Which classes do you have left?

I am applying December 2018! I need to take BIO 1570 (Fall 2018) and take the HESI-A2 exam, then I will be eligible to apply.

Are you able to choose your theory/lab times or is that assigned? I know the course/clinical schedule changes every 7 weeks - does it change drastically or stay relatively the same? I'm sure all of this depends on the courses you are enrolled in at the time - but just trying to get a general idea.

Hey guys! I'm applying to the nursing program this year Dec 2018. I take my HESI in about 3 weeks. ( a little nervous) I'm just curious does anyone know the cutoff score for last year? I think my score is like 13.87 or 12.87 I'm not positive because I repeated a class.

Hey guys! I passed my HESI so now I'm just taking Ethics to full the Humanities requirement. I plan on applying in 12/2018 as well. I hoping for winter 2020 start to save money by then. Anyone know when payment for school is due once accepted? Just wondering
