  1. Ok Freeking out now....

    Don't worry, you will do fine. I absolutely hate english, but I pulled off a B in the class. Most of the assignments were to write about something we read, or write something descriptive about a place we visited, time in our life, etc. It was not as ...
  2. Anyone quitting

    Is anyone quitting a full time job in order to attend school this fall? How do you feel about it? I am quitting, not voluntarily, but because my school only offers day programs and it conflicts with a 9 to 5. Although I hate my dead end job and cond...
  3. Did not pass the NET

    ukbsktbll, don't give up. The NET test is just one factor in the journey. I bought two different study guides several months before my test date and I believed it helped me. Best wishes.
  4. Should I do it?

    I would do school (if it wouldn't jepoardize your finances right now in caring for your children). Nursing would give you more options, more job opportunities, whereas you may be limited as an accupuncturist. You can always find a job in nursing whe...
  5. Anyone quitting

    Right!!!
  6. Anyone quitting

    I could not have said it better, thanks for putting it into perspective.
  7. taking notes with online classes

    I took four online classes so far. I printed a lot of the material and kept it in a binder then went over it and made notes.
  8. Anyone quitting

    I understand how you feel, I have been experiencing some guilt and fear over the past weeks now that I know it is time to make that move. I have been at my job six years too. As for money...I attempted to cash out equity in my home, and I won't know ...
  9. WEll...here I go!

    Hang in there, I wish you all the best. You can do whatever you put your mind to. I am in a similar postion...planning to hand in my resignation 8/11, so I know exactly how you feel.
  10. Low GPA, need your opinions please

    I guess it would depend on the school you are applying to. Some weigh heavily on Entrance Exam scores and overall GPA. Whereas others may give you more consideration for the high grades in the science related courses. Either way, just keep plugging a...
  11. Advice on being burnt out

    When I feel burnt out I go shopping, if I don't have a lot of money I go to a yard sale or thrift store, shopping is fun and takes my mind off things. You have to find "your thing" that will take your mind off things and help you relax. As far as th...
  12. how do you afford to live while in school?

    401k and some equity in my home. I hate to do that but, I have to be able to concentrate on my studies while taking care of my family.
  13. Well, I didn't get in, but...

    I applied for the RN program which was my first choice. I also applied for the Respiratory Care program as a plan B. I got in the Respiratory Care program, they want me to send a letter of intent back in. I know in my heart the RN program will be a w...
  14. What classes are you taking for fall?

    A&PI and Chemistry for sure
  15. Passed the NET...

    Congratulations... I would try to make at least one of those letters from someone in the medical field. Ask one of those Dr. or Nurses that you feel you have developed a good repore with. As for the essay, just sit down and write a list of reasons wh...
  16. A & P Classes

    It is hard to say whether or not that course will transfer. I am a former military wife, so I understand not knowing about future orders. I would take the class if interested in the programs there, but best believe I would take all my other pre-reqs ...
  17. I need your opinion.....

    Re-apply at Nassau and maybe one or two other community colleges in relatively close proximity to you, take your pre-req's so either way you have a leg up on whichever program you enter, be it 4 year or 2 year. Something will come thru for you. I wi...
  18. Well, I didn't get in, but...

    Thanks for all the advice and information, I really appreciate everyone's input. I have turned in my letter of intent. I was crushed when I got my LPN rejection letter, I don't know how many more of those I can take . I have prayed about it and will...
  19. Well, I didn't get in, but...

    I applied to the LPN program also. I got a letter from them last month saying I did not get in and I would remain on their list. They said my scores were good, but I needed to take ANP1, ANP2 and Nutrition for extra points or have work experience as ...
  20. Applying and worried!!!!Is it normal?

    Worrying is perfectly normal (to me). I worried the moment I sent off my application and even more when I knew it was time for them to send out the letters. You never know how things will work out, do your best and it will pay off. Best wishes to eve...
  21. To go into Nursing or other health care field?

    Hi, Congratulations on your pending retirement. Honestly, you have to do something that is going to make you happy. Overall, it has to be something you can see yourself doing for the rest of your life that is also going to pay you well. My sister is ...
  22. LPN placement test

    My test (NET test) consisted of mostly converting percentage, fractions, decimals and some algebra and word problems. The reading consisted of a science related passage where you had to answer questions on the passage and draw conclusions. There was ...
  23. LPN or RN

    You are right, you will finish the LPN quicker, you also have the option of doing the LPN to RN later. I am in a similar situation, I plan to use my 401K to pay my bills and not work (if possible) while doing an LPN program. I can't afford to do the ...
  24. ~Summer School~ Yea!

    I will be taking intermediate algebra and Nutrition while working full time. I am hoping I can pull it off without lowering my GPA. Good luck to everyone.
  25. Relo from Michigan

    I am not sure about nashville. Try www.tennessean.com you can look at the classifieds online, that may be a good start. I am a student in chattanooga, I have a acquaintance that's a new grad RN, she says she makes 18.00 per hour at a hospital here, h...
