I am in an accelerated 2 year nursing program. Ill just say i have the same feelings as you. I stress more than most. I study my ass off and ill make good marks but sometimes i dont. I beat myself up about it all the time. My program you have to make a 75 in every class. Get between a 70-74 and have to retake the course. Get below a 70 and you get dismissed from the program. The NCLEX rate is 97% pass rate. I would say my program isn't for the weak or the procrastinators. There are days where i ask myself is it worth it. Am i good enough. Will i make a decent nurse? You just have to push through. These past few weeks i have never studied so hard in my life. All my classes are 7:30s but still have to push through. Ill be up late at night and study until my eyes burn like hell. Girl, you can do this. Cry it out, talk to a friend, when you do good on an assignment or an exam treat yourself. This isn't an easy road. But if you want it badly you will go and get. A few months ago i ordered Chinese food and opened a fortune cookie. It reads "If you care enough for a result you will most certainly attain it" I taped it to a folder and use this folder religiously. I look at the little white paper and it helps remind me why i am here. Keep your head up love.

hello everyone, I have been in nursing school for almost a year and feel like i am working harder than everyone in my class...and i still struggle. I want this more than anything. I am in an accelerated 2 year program and i am 21 years old. I am one of the youngest in the school. I get along with my professors and day chair. They all seem to love me. They all know me by my name and always tell me how great of a student i am. Whenever i do poorly its like they all know. They think i am one of those students who doesn't really have to "study"....little do they know...Ill just say this program isn't for the weak and procrastinators. I stay after class and study upstairs, get help from tutors. go to open lab. I am the only student who ever went to open lab in my class. Some days i feel like i am burning out. I see something once i have to do it over and over again to get it right. I spent an entire weekend learning to do a full neuro assessment and muscular-skeletal assessment because no one in my class knew how and one of us had to perform it in our test outs to pass clinical. People underestimate me all the time. Maybe its because i am young. But i swear i feel like i am killing myself studying while the rest of my class just seems to know it or just doesn't seem to care. Just does did anyone feel "alone?" my first two terms it was a breeze, but this term just nipped me in the butt. I am trying and its almost over but i think about the coming terms and get overwhelmed. Not saying i am going to give up but just need some reassurance. Sorry for such the long post but would love to hear some of your stories. Much appreciated

Hey there! And the General RN track right? Not the bridge. And it wasent too hard for me to get in. I'll say it's a process though. They need basically every document that makes you up as a person. They also want an essay about an interview with a registered nurse. You do have to do an interview with one of the department chairs as well. They do background checks and things like that. For me since I'm living at home to get through school I am not financially independent so I do have to pay a little more. I took out a small loan and do pay a little over 800 a month but that's because they saw my dads tax returns...������ For most it's very different. A lot of the ones that are in my class get pell grants and basically free rides. Financial aid is extremely helpful and will break down the cost for you the best they can. For the accredited my mom and I checked the nursing board of education to see if they were approved of accredidation and it has a green check mark so no problems there:) and the school website states it as well.

Hey! I just started the General RN track at the Jacksonville campus. We are going on week 4 and so far so good! a couple people have dropped out for financial reasons/personal things..but it looks like everyone in my class is doing really well. The teachers really want you to succeed and always double check with us to make sure we understand the material. There are a few students who are immature/rude/checked out but they usually dont last long. My advice would to be sit in the front, take very clean organized notes, and ask questions! Alot of the teachers allow open book quizzes so taking great notes is a must. They are strict on uniform and want us looking sharp. Mostly because when clinicals begin it wont be such a culture shock. The tuition is a bit pricey but its totally worth it. There are tons of tutoring sessions and tools to help you along the way. The whole campus has a family feel to it. I mean ive only been with my class for 4 weeks and it feels like family. Everyone has a story and we all want the same thing. To become an RN. I highely reccommend this school. My mom and i toured it and loved it. Whenever i wear my uniform and coat and im out in public i get tons of questions about the school and i speak very highely of it. Some of the comments in here that are trashing the school are people who just had a bad expreince and are over dramatic. It depends what kind of student you are and if you really want this. I really hope you attend in august! Heck i may see you there:)

Thank you! Yeah I am working hard and I can't risk anything in this program. I am in an RN program and i want this more than anything. Like today we had our math class. Its about 4 1/2 hours. This girl that is kind of a "know it all" shows up late and then skips out after 10 minutes and doesn't come back. She missed our math test. Her mother is the department chair?!? Like what the hell. People like her piss me off...Just because your mother works for the school doesn't mean she can save your ass. And this girl sits right behind me and thinks she can copy off of me....Ugh i just want all of us to take this seriously because the ones who aren't are being disrespectful and interrupt the class when I am trying to listen and learn.

Okay so there are 35 students in my nursing class. I go to a private nursing college. They are very strict on our uniform and how we handle things. Which I totally get. But a lot of people in my class are either rude/think they know everything/some don't even make it to class and it's only the second week. The girl behind me left in the middle of class just to pick up her friends at the airport. I am confused because we spend a lot of money to go here but a lot of them don't seem to care or aren't taking it seriously. In our class we can't wear nail polish. A girl got pulled out of our class for wearing red nail polish and I haven't seen her since. If there are 35 in my class now how many people will be left after two years?? Just seems like it will dwindle quickly.
