Ok, those still waiting or doing prereqs

[TeresaRN2b]

How about we have a thread for us! Hahahaha, sorry needed some encouragement today and figured I wasn't alone. I am so excited for the ones starting nursing classes this week, but so jealous. I know it will be my turn soon enough. So how about a check-in to see who's still waiting. When do you hope to start nursing classes? How many prereqs do you have? Or are you just waiting?

Me I should start in August, pretty much waiting. I've had my prereqs done for a while now. I am taking my last general ed class this semester and getting it out of the way. They don't have any nursing classes in the summer so just waiting and getting ready.

Hi all,

I'm finally eligible to apply to the LPN program at our community college. I took the NET this past Friday. Talk about stressfull! I should find out in a couple of weeks if I will be admitted to the Fall 03 class. I was going to do the RN route but at the rate I'm going, I won't be eligible until Fall 03, which would put me in the Fall 04 class. I don't want to wait that long. I need to get out there and work as soon as possible. I will go on to RN after I've been working as a LPN.

Well I am also working at a snails pace. I am not only doing the pre reqa but I am also doing all the classes that are not nursing classes. I will be ready to apply for the nursin program ADN in the Fall. I am also taking all the aditional general ed classes for MY BSN, for instance for the ADN I only need intro to algebra but for my BSN I need Stats. I am also having to make up for my first semester back in 99 I left school after one semester with a .86 GPA so I am retaking those classes to raise my GPA.

Hi everyone, great to see we're all in the same boat or ship (there's too many of us for a little boat) Anywho, I've got 2 classes left for my pre-reqs; Adv. Physio, and Medical Micro, I only need the Micro course, but to get extra points, I'm taking the Adv. Physio. My college is all on a point/grade system, and I have too few without taking it. Anyway, I should be in the program next Spring or Fall '04. I will apply next month, but I know I won't be accepted yet:zzzzz So I'll keep working my butt off. Well it's good to hear that we are not alone. Hang in there everyone! Heather

I am currently taking Interpersonal Communications and Sociology. I still have Microbiology and Advanced Human Physiology to go. I'll take them one each semester and apply for the ASN class that starts next year. I don't mind. I really don't have the gumption to take it right now.....
