just took the nclex this morning..... had about 15 SATA, no ordered response...... 2 math questions. Got shut off at 75, tried the PVT trick and got the good pop up..... hoping for the best!

Dont worry too much about "studying" right now but do review any areas you struggled with in the past. Also, try to enjoy the free time you have cause you'll be missing it once school starts!

I have some advice as well: DONT FORGET TO HAVE FUN! Seriously, our nursing instructors try to scare us and intimidate us especially throughout the first semester. "you wont have a life, you can't work, you can't have fun" I've heard it all! It's eas...

I just got back from visiting some family in Denver and I came across the Denver school of nursing. It seems there is very little waitlist and they have an ADN and BSN program. Their tuition seems to be high and one of the "knocks" on them is that th...

Name: David Job: Receptionist at Hospital, work 40 hrs a week Family: Just me, live on my own but I help my mom out with her expenses. A little about your program: I just started the ADN program at my school. After 2 weeks we've had 2 quizzes and I'v...

Ooooh boy, my orientation is tomorrow and school starts on Monday! I'm pretty excited about starting school but unfortunately I dont feel ready to go back to school plus I'll be working full time while attending nursing school. I think I've enjoyed m...

Are you a kaiser employee? If so are you union? Check with the union to see if they have any type of forgivable loan/tuition reimbursement type program. I work for Kaiser in OC and I'm applying for 8 hour weekly stipend through my union (seiu-uhw) ho...

I got in for Fall of 09! Can't wait to start!

Are they similar? I did extremely well on the NET test and am hoping the TEAS is similar.......

Does Golden West accept students by lottery only?

My name is David I'm 23 years old from Long Beach, CA. I hope to be attending DSON this fall for the BSN program. I just got back from a 3 week vacation in Panama and I just read the emails about the May 23rd deadline.... hopefully my spot is still a...

I'm starting a nursing program in the fall and I'm wondering if you guys can give me some advice on what I should be doing in the meantime to help my transition into nursing school. It's been over a year since I completed my science prereqs so I'm st...

I'm pretty sure the scrubs thing gets taken care of at the orientation. Does anyone know how soon we are supposed to send back our payment plans?

By the way, it looks like I'll be able to come up with the tuition money and attempt monthly. I've managed to come up with 25k so I'm hoping that I can come up with the rest while I'm in school..........

I was there on Wed April 16 sometime between 11 and 12 or maybe a little later.

So I got my acceptance letter..... or did I? It has my correct address on the letterhead but it say's "Dear Amy" on the actual letter.......

That's the way he made it seem regarding the Sallie Mae Loan. He gave me a statistic that I cant exactly remember regarding the percentage of people that pay as they go compared to people that get the Sallie Mae Loan. I believe it was something like ...

thanks, from what I understand they do not accept stafford loans due to the accreditation issue. In a way though its a blessing in disguise because if they did have regular student loans then there would be a long wait list at this school (just like ...

I'll quote what he said "Ask your grandma for the money, she can loan it to you with interest as well". Now I wish I had a grandma with 36 k lying around but since I don't I have to look into personal loans, borrowing, and a whole lot of praying.

Sorry for the late replies..... I went to Denver last week and had a great time. I forget how beautiful the city is and how much different it is from Los Angeles. I met with Jeff and he's a pretty nice guy. We went over my transcripts and he gave me ...

So how are everyone's school situations working out? I will be flying into Denver tonight to check out the school tomorrow morning. I will keep you guys posted on how it goes.

Did you already apply for the loan and get 5%? That's a pretty low rate for the SM loan, most people seem to be getting around 8% or so. Also you need to keep in mind that it is a variable rate and it can go up on you. Let's say you take out 40k at 8...

Yeah same here, I've waited a year and a half and it feels like such a waste of time. I just want to get school over with and get my career going already. Now my only question is, how much debt is too much debt?

Yeah it's really discouraging. I guess you can just let the interest balloon for a couple of years and end up paying 70K+ in the end.

I've applied at Cal State Long Beach, Cal State LA, Cypress, Harbor, Long beach city, and El Camino....... got tired of all the rejections and waitlists.
