It's still pretty tough for me to go to clinical and the worst part, I only have six more precepting shifts to complete in order to graduate from the ADN program. I can't believe I'm so close and I still feel unhappy about going to clinical. It bot...

Hi Mehow and other hopefuls, I'd like to share my thoughts on this matter: Yes, for the most part, there is a correlation between your success in the science courses and your anticipated success in the nursing program. After waiting 2 years, I got ...

This thread is a good reminder and inspiration to all who may have previously lost some direction in life and are now on the path of reaching his/her potential. I too can be lumped in that category and have actually found out two days ago that I will...

Thanks for the reply Veronica. I called the office today and my name wasn't on the list. In regards to getting in after the 4th application, she said there is no guaranteed for anything even if we've applied 5 times. How discouraging! I started off a...

Thanks for the reply maireez. I will definately call them tomorrow. If I don't get in this time then for sure the next time being that it will be my fourth time applying. No luck from the other colleges either. Oh well...I suppose I'll take statistic...

Hi everyone still waiting to hear from Goldenwest. The wait is driving me nuts! The letters were supposed to be sent out a week ago. Please give a hollar if you already heard something. Thanks and best wishes.

Thank you dreamer for the info and krazykev for the link. Although I will be in the nursing program in the very near future...hopefully by August, I am still making preparations and I'm sure the drug list will be so helpful. I now have it saved in my...

Thanks for the goldenwest info. I too have been checking the mail like crazy. This is my third attempt and unlike the first two times, I only received a letter confirming eligbility; however, this time I also got a second letter giving me a to do lis...

I totally agree with the comments that it is a very unique experience. Given the foundation that you now have to better understand the human body, it really makes you appreciate the exhibits all the more. Also, to Dutchgirl, thanks so much for the re...

Hi there studentnurse, I was fortunate to where I only took all of the science courses once to pass. I've recently applied and am waiting for hopefully great news. To answer your question, I think that a course like A&P should be taken in a tradi...

:yelclap: Hope you don't get too busy to put in your two cents.

Hello babynurse06, Can't input as to the working enviroment and pay as a nurse because I'm still in school. However, when my youngest child was admitted a few years back for a week at Millers Long Beach, I had a very positive experience with the doct...

Hi guys, As embarassing as it was to tell the world of nurses about my husband's habit, I only mentioned it to remind you all that just when you think the worst of your husbands, there is always someone eles that can bring a little appreciation to y...

You guys are too funny!!!:chuckle It's been awhile since I've read this thread. Its so refreshing to read all of the extras. Like I mentioned in my previous comments, my house is a beaken for a man made tornado. My mother in law came by last week wit...

Hi everyone, I have 3 children. My daughter is 16 and helps me out when she can without compromising her own schedule - soccer, work, movies, etc. I also have two sons, 6 and 7. I have definately given in to a not so neat home, ok truthfully, a ve...

Hello everyone, I should be in the nursing field in a few years. Just waiting on responses from the local colleges. I've been dealing with heel pain for a over a year. It is not excrutiating but I can only tolerate standing a few hours at the most. ...

Hi Alison, Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will look into them. Hopefully soon I'll be able to get back into moving and grooving.

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for sharing the state of your house. Now I don't feel so tormented. Between school, work, 3 kids, and a very spoiled husband, I feel so overwhelmed! They are lucky if they get their lunches packed and a decent dinner out o...

Hi guys, Yes, Kathy and Pooh, you're both right about the very small, fine, microscopic print about the terms of the credit card. I always try to be careful with the finances but I guess when you're attending school full time and have to pay for ever...

Hi everyone, Great advice on keeping busy productively. How about picking up part time work or working more to pay off some debt escpecially if they're credit card debt. I just got hit by my bank with an increase from 5.99 APR to 26% APR even though ...

Thank you jim for the advice. I do my stretching throughout the day but haven't tried the ice trick. I will try it tonight. After I thought about my question about the nursing job with the least amount of standing, I felt kinda silly. I'm sure the o...

Hello multi, I understand your frustration about the whole selection process. Yes, the program is very competitive and sometimes things in life may seem unfair. I hope you feel a little better by venting and although I am a minority and was one time...

Hello Jennl15, I too decided to start a family at an early age and later decided to commit to school. I would like to share with you what I've learned thus far about the whole process. Like what the others have mentioned, it is a good idea to see a...

CONGRATS!!! I'm excited for you. I apply this week for Fall '06. Please let the rest of us hopefuls know how your first semester turns out. Best of luck! Sincerely, brightmoon :)

Hello everyone, Very interesting to read the many comments. I will be applying to Goldenwest this week and a few other colleges nearby. How difficult is it to get into the program at Goldenwest and what is the wait like? As far as the horror stories...
