I am not a nurse (applied for nursing school) but I have struggled with addictions off and on in my life time. I was hospitalized in December for "unresponsive-ness" (alcohol & prescription meds) and was there for 3 days. I know sometimes patience can be difficult, however, if it weren't for YOU guys (nurses) I would not be here. Since then, I have quit drinking and taking presciption medication all together and pursuing a nursing degree to help others as YOU have helped others. You have inspired and saved many lives! I know this profession isn't an easy job, however, I know that you have helped many regardless if you realize it or not. Thank you for all that you do!

I am 36 and now applying for nursing school! I believe at my age now, I am more determined to succeed as I would have been 18 years ago. I am starting scratch to earn my BSN with no college credits, however, I know that I can still maintain being a mom of 3 and go to school at the same time. (Hopefully) I have enrolled in CNA class which it will only be a month and plan to work part time so I can manage a good grade in school! Best of luck in your new chapter! It will only get better from her on. =)

To All Nurses and Future Nurse! My name is Miae and I have encountered such an amazing nurses in the past few years and I would love to share my stories to let you know why being a nurse is crucial and important job in the world! 2013 I was induced to have my 3rd child at the same hospital and with the same amazing doctor in Arlington, Tx. Since this wasn't my first rodeo, I told my husband to leave and get something to eat while we are patiently waiting for our little princess to arrive. Shortly after he left, Nurse Lisa came into check me and suggested I change positions several time. At the time, I didn't really think anything of it and just did as I was told. Then, she checked me lady partslly and the look on her face was white as snow! As if she saw a ghost or something. To find out, I had an umbilical prolaps and was rushed into the OR! During the surgery Nurse Lisa still had her fingers inside of my cervix to make sure that little Valerie's head was not cutting off her life line! After waking up from the surgery, with 22 stables vertically down my stomach, I was greeted by my little angle Valerie! If it weren't for Nurse Lisa's fast reaction, I might not had a pleasure to be her mother. Then, December 2015 I had an accident and fell on my head. 3 days later I decided to go to the ER since my head ache progressed and got worse. I had a CT scan and was told I had subdural hematoma and was hospitalized for few weeks. Thank God that I didn't need surgery since it subsided on it's own. The pain ,however, was excruciating and I couldn't handle it! My nurse at the time made sure I was comfortable at all times by giving me pain meds. She always kept me company and entertained me during the holidays. This happened during Christmas and New year time. You see, Nurses saves lives! I admire and appreciate everything that YOU have done to make sure that we all see another day. Thank you! For this, I am applying to a Nursing School so I can INSPIRE and contribute to our society as that YOU are all doing without a second thought! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

This is the route I want to go as well. I believe you have to have at least BSN and 1 year in ICU before applying for CRNA school. But, I could be wrong also.

I just took the Hesi exam as well this past Monday and scored overall 80% on the test. I am applying for the Irving, TX location. My administration personnel l said that the score should be good enough for me, if not, I can retest and resubmit my application for them to review. I don't have any GPA that would transfer since I have not been in school in 18 years. I am sure that you will get in.... Best of luck and keep me posted.

Thank you so much for the information that you have provided.

Did you already start? I checked out the school and probably will start in May if I get accepted.
