Thank you. Feeling a little bit better about it. I'm just anxiously waiting for the mail now.

Congratulations! So far I think you're the first to receive news lol.

We will finally know soon! It seems like a dream.

Why do you have two sets? Can't you condense them into one? Focus on whatever points are emphasized in lectures. I've never bought already made flashcards. I retain more by writing a lot. An exercise I was forced to do in LPN school was write down ev...

When I went to LPN school, a lot of my classmates would complain as well. On one hand I would understand as many of them had families or worked fulltime (whereas I worked 2 per diem jobs). But we had one packet that we had a med packet that we needed...

I nicknamed my clinical experience as Bed Baths & Beyond. You can try putting some Vicks on your nose, if the smell is something you can't tolerate. Does your instructor tell you where you need to improve on?

If it makes you feel any better, I just started a job as an LPN. If I get accepted into the LPN-RN program I will only have like 3 months of experience. I still have my books from LPN school. In your case, perhaps you can borrow an NCLEX review book ...

You live in the hospital? I think it depends on where you live. I know in New York you can work under an RN's license if you submit a permit. But you have like 3 months or something to take and pass the NCLEX. I honestly waited to worry about working...

If you're a visual and auditory learner, how about using Khan academy for A&P?

If you have a party to go to, stay for a couple of hours. You won't want to leave early, and it might be hard, but you have to do what you have to do. Now, there may be some weeks where you absolutely can't afford to do anything but nursing school st...

You can't really do anything with a BA or BS in psych. You'd most likely have to go for your masters or PhD. I agree that shadowing a nurse or volunteering could help you.

I'm sure they're well-trained not to give that information over the phone lol

On the plus side, we will definitely know before the year is over!

For LPN school, it was easy to make friends as i was with the majority of the same people for months at a time. In clinicals we were usually paired up and had to take care of a patient. During this time, when there's any downtime, maybe you can bring...

Well my mom became an RN in her mid 40s. She was first a CNA, pursued her LPN, then she became an RN. My brother and I were a handful as kids, so she never pursued her BSN. It will be a lot of work, but its definitely doable.

Stony Brook also tells you whether or not you're accepted online. But I guess we have to make another excuse since it isn't a private college.

I initially changed my address to my po box. USPS won't send the digital picture unless your license or whatever's address matches the address you want mail sent to it. I'll just wait.

I hope for some good news after my two hour commute home.

Nope nothing yet. Although I did get something from Suffolk. During the summer I had a problem. I wanted to see if Bio 272(Microbio) could substitute the Bio 244 (General Microbio) requirement. I asked my former professor, and she said that the majo...

Considering Monday was a holiday, I'm assuming they went out today.

Yeah, I also heard if you got exemplary on the TEAS is an automatic acceptance. Congrats :) can you just imagine the letters coming soon?

Well many people were told mid-October. Even though I applied for the LPN-RN program, both begin in the spring, so I'm thinking that we should both be getting the letters mid-October.

83.3 reading 89.4 math 87.5 science 74.5 English and language 87.5 Considering I was sick on and off that whole month and didn't get to make time to study as much as I wanted to, I was happy with the result. But now I'm not sure where to think I ...

I'm so glad you stuck up for yourself. As you said, we all have to start somewhere. Keep your head up high!

Unfortunately with counseling, it may take time. I remember when I used the services provided by the college I often found that I was constantly repeating the same things over and over. This classmate seems genuinely concerned. Is this someone you ca...
