I was wondering if anyone has ever worked for Advantage Nursing Services in the STL area? I’m a new grad with about 6 months of hospital experience and I just don’t think it’s for me. I think I would like home health/ private duty a lot better! Please let me know.

Great job adk073. I'm at work and I don't get off until 3am so I haven't had a chance to check the mail. I will post as soon as I find out! I'm so nervous.

I will post when I receive my letter. I'm not too concerned with it though, I've stressed myself out to the point that I can't stress anymore. If this doesn't work then I'll just find another route. Good luck to everyone!

Idk, I'm really nervous now... I didn't do too hot on the Hesi, but my GPA is pretty good. I think they reduced the seats as well. I'm pretty sure it's on 48 seats available. I've also been looking into accelerated programs offered by SIUE and UMSL. Of course it would be wayyyyy more expensive, but it would only be a year and its BSN..

Update: I received a letter last night explaining that they changed the admission procedure. As kbaum91 said it is now based on a point system. It takes into account your scores from the Hesi, A&P, GPA, and ACT. They did say that the final letters regarding our admission status would go out by the end of this week.

Wow, thanks katg. I just went to go like the page lol. Hopefully we'll know something in the next few weeks. Good Luck.

Wow... it's really inconvenient that they decided to switch now. Thanks so much for the information. In the meanwhile I guess I'll just keep on stalking the mailbox lol.

I just want to let everyone that has been looking that I spoke to one of the advisors today and she said that they still have yet to send out letters as they are still making decisions. :/

Not yet, I'm getting pretty anxious too. It's driving me crazy lol. When did you apply? I hope that the new Spring start doesn't mean that they will reduce seats for the Fall.

That's great! Did they give you any other additional information?

I have no clue. I'm just getting antsy waiting to hear back from them. They said letters would be sent out in March.

LLC81, Thanks for the info! I think I'm just making myself super nervous. I'm ready to jump in and get it over with!

Thank you so much! I hope so. I can deal with hard work, I just hope the instructors are adequate with their delivery. I can't deal with a bad instructor lol

Oh wow, I have a prior degree too. It's crazy that that many people have dropped. It makes me nervous

What does he think of the program? The only thing that I can recommend studying is the actual Elseiver book. It's pretty good.
