Have you checked the community colleges? I know my cc's website is so unorganized and a bit confusing so sometimes calling or actually scheduling a meeting might be beneficial.

Confidence with cannulation comes with practice and time. Perhaps request people whose arms are easy? Also know that there are just people with difficult arms. So getting comfortable with an easier arm can help boost your confidence.

The deposit was due yesterday, so I'm assuming they're trying to figure out who paid and who didn't pay. So hopefully you hear from them today.

I received mine and happy to say I got in. I hope to see you all there.

Anyone else get excited when they receive an email from Suffolk then slowly die inside when reading that it's about an event on campus and not an acceptance or rejection to the program?🙃

No problem! I forgot to mention from my understanding the LPN-RN is a year and a half, since it starts in January. The RN program started in September where they learn fundamentals. My cousin is actually in Excelsior. They accepted most of her ...

So your A&P will be good for now, but if you do plan on applying, make sure you do before 2015 as they give the class 10 years before they "expire." As long as you got a C, they will accept the classes, though. Psych and stats are good. As far as...

I feel like probably not who knows? Still crossing my fingers checking here everyday, though.

I'm glad you made it into the program! I hope your first month is going well so far 😀

They told me we will receive an email in October.

I heard they accept the advanced and exemplary first, and if there's space they will accept proficient. Classes such as A&P and Psych will help boost your score. Plus they'll be needed for you to graduate anyway. I figure it would be easier to ta...

As far as certification, one requires one year of experience while another is asking for 2,000 or 3,000 hours.

Never mind! I ended up emailing them again, and they said they received it and I will find out in October.

Thank you. You too! I was told I could email my license and registration rather than going to campus. When I sent it, I never got a reply back that it was received. I tried calling admissions this morning, but no one is picking up. Anyone else h...

I'm planning to take the CHN exam administered by BONENT. I was wondering if there's any difference between the RN and LPN tests. When I was training, LPNs were lumped into the same classes as RNs. Half of the information wouldn't apply to me, but I...

Hello! I got an 81 on the TEAS and I'm not retaking it. Fingers crossed!

First, congratulations! I don't really remember the exact questions I was asked. I think she asked me why I wanted to be in the program and where I see myself in x amount of years. I just remember standard interview questions. I did the part-time pro...

I know I have trouble staying in one place for too long. I currently work in outpatient dialysis. Recently we had a couple of techs graduate with their RN. As a result of (I'm assuming) covid, our clinic has been training many people for the other c...

My primary care doctor's office has a nurse who administers allergy tests as well as gives injections. She says that sometimes it gets very busy, but for the most part everything is a bit relaxed. They're usually pretty good with the scheduling so it...

I want to stress what traumaRUs said. It'll take time. I'm an LPN, but I'll try to help as much as I can to describe outpatient dialysis. Each facility is different with the way they handle their patients' scheduling. In my facility we have 6 po...

It could be possible. Call the school and ask them if they have a cutoff for scores. If anything, is there a way to retake the test? If you do retake it, try a different approach. I know ATI used to have an option where you can improve, and it would ...

Kind of. Some colleges may ask for a transcript while others don't. Some may require you to have gotten certain grades. From what I know, the GPA shouldn't transfer from school to school. Even from two different colleges, my GPA never transferred. So...

Long Island, NY here working in dialysis for four years. When I first started, I was paid $22.25. All of my other offers were high 20s, but part-time/per diem, and I needed benefits. Now I'm at $28.50. I decided to go for the preceptor position. I'm ...

Some programs require that the class be taken within 5 or 6 years. As RainMom said, it's best to ask them.
