I gotta shout out to everyone who has given me advice upon a very difficult decision.50k is not something that I wish to spend and I want to prove that I am worthy of being a nurse.No wait list makes it seem like cheating.I am begining pre-requisite classes at my community college that has a nursing program in October.It has good connections to universities with nursing programs.As always,nothing will be exactly as you think it will be but I cant wait to get started. Thanks everyone!

I am starting pre-reqs for nursing school,so I may be biased when I say that I would only be a nurse.But if I would cjoose something else as a career.... Marine biologist.Weird change from a nurse,but I would do it.

Just took TEAS 6 today.Scored 71.3!First time!I know its probably not as high as others but I am proud of it.It is higher then the acceptance score and I am still proud of it.Cant wait,good luck to everyone out there taking it!:):):)

Dont know why I am asking this but I want to see the answers.I am going to be in nursing school this Fall and I know that clinicals wont be so far behind.I have my converse sneakers that I adore.Comfortable,I have run in them,and I do have a white pair.Can I wear these?Clogs slip off but I am okay with regular sneakers like champion or skechers.Anyone wear chucks?

Such wonderfully creepy stories.I am three months from being in nursing school,but I have many ghosts that I have seen prior to that.I wish I could take all of the best stories from this thread and make a book.That would be a best seller.

I sincerely thank everyone for the replies.They give me new insight on my path.I guess im just nervous.I am the first to go off to college straight out of high school.I want to make sure everything is perfect.Thanks to everyone:)

Thank you all for the kind words.I guess im just a little nervous about starting college.Im the first kid to go and I want to do it right.Thanks.

Continuing education.Like an ASN getting a BSN.I heard of this before.

Thank you for the replys.I dont mean to offend anyone.I see that you have all worked hard to get where you are.I have an oppurtunity.I want to take it.I will still give it the same level of dedication that you all have shown.Im sorry if I offended anyone.Thank you.

It has a high pass rate for the NC-LEX.Some of the colleges around me have a NC-LEX that scores less then rasmussen.I have talked to the students who are now nurses and they say it is a good college.They say they came out of the nursing program stronger.One nurse came from a community college to rasmussen and said he liked it better,more structured.I dont know,I want to go there.I dont think anyone can just join.I am going to be a nurse.I have done my research.

I feel like if I get a job I wont be able to study for the program.On the other hand,I would feel like I was using financial aid in the wrong way if I didnt get a job.I want to do my best in college and I feel like a job would make it suffer.At least for my ADN(or is it ASN?).

I believe I am a dependent(living with parents and no job).I dont want to sound greedy,I am looking for a job,but I have 2 years of nursing school ahead of me and only 5 dollars.Will getting a job change the aid I recieve from financial aid?

But how long did it take you to get into the program?Every college withoin a 50 mile radius of me has waiting lists except for rasmussen and another college thats too far away.The lowest wait I would get was estimated to be two years.And I would have a year and a half of pre requisites.I want to begin my nursing career..I want to start my work as a nurse and have many fulfilling years to show for it.Thats just my viewpoint.Thank you for replying.

Im about to go to nursing school and wanted to know what the average amount that financial aid will pay.Im just out of high school and still live with parents.I also dont have a job yet.Will this give me some aid or is it just like $1000 per year?

I have heard that if you agree to work with a hospital for a certain amount of time,say two years,they will reimburse the money you spent on the college degree.I dont know if this is like an internship,but is it true?
