Has anyone ever attended or applied for Aquinas College in their ASN nursing program? Please give me any information or knowlege you have about this college or program. Good or bad??

Hello all, since I didn't get in at VSCC, I thought I would look around and research other avenues of nursing. Has anyone ever tried to get a question answered or information from TSU? I think dealing with these people are some of the worst experiences I have ever had with a school. Most schools want you to come to their campus, but every person I dealt with at TSU could care less. Every time I called, they wouldn't listen to what I needed and sounded too busy to help me, would pass me around to another person, tell me they don't know, they are not responsible for that. So I decided to quit calling and actually went to the campus on Friday. I went to the nursing department and got treated even ruder. I was looking for someone to help look at my transcripts and discuss what I would need to get in and see what other options they had. The secretary was too busy on a personal phone call to help so I just stood there, she finally turned her back to me. I then walked around until I found, I believe one of the nursing directors, and she too seem too busy to deal with me. She was busy reading the newspaper on-line and barely turned her chair around to discuss anything with me. I handed her my transcripts and started asking questions but I could tell she did not want to help. She gave me no more information than I already had. Has anyone else experienced this? I don't think I am going to waste my money on this school. By the way, I do plan to write the president of the university but if he is like the rest of his staff, it would be a waste of time!!

Hello, all. Does anyone know any good programs here for obtaining your BSN when you already have a degree? Mine is Bach of Arts in Bus. Mgt. Thanks for any input.

Well, I have a 3.8 gpa, all pre-requisites completed, all co-requisites except Microbology, did average on the NET and didn't get in. Anyone else heard if they got in yet? I would like to see what the stats are for people who have been accepted to see if I want to reapply next year.

I am not sure that there is a minimum. From what I 'hear', they look at all the overall scores of the NET, GPA, class grades and probably put them in highest to lowest order and then pick the top ones. I have also heard that the more co-requisites you have would help too. I don't know how accurate this is. Good luck to you.

So there is noone on here trying to get into the Vol State/TSU program? I have heard there are over 200 applicants for the 40 spots. . . . anyone???

Hey haunted, I live in Hendersonville also. You will love it here, good school systems, beautiful small but growing city. Welcome to the neighborhood.

Ok, I called Vol State. They will be sending the letters mid to late April. Another month of waiting. Anyone else waiting???

Does anyone know when we will start hearing about who is accepted into the Vol State/TSU program?? Has anyone received theirs yet???

Finished with an A in Chemistry and an A in Psychology. Gonna enjoy the break!!

I just finished with Fundamental of Chemistry and loved it!! It included organic and inorganic . . . it covered the basics/intro of Chemistry.

I am just getting so frustrated about how low I scored. I am smart and do so well in school and I don't feel this score does me justice. Ok honest . . . should I retake the NET??????

Yes, I sent the school an email to see how they weight the NET. I am disappointed I just got average and might retake it to get a better score.

I have a 3.8 GPA in school but do not do well on final/comprehensive tests. I think they should put more emphasis on your GPA over the NET because doing well on the NET does not translate to educational excellence.

Hello all, I just took my NET yesterday and wanted to compare grades to those who have been accepted by nursing programs. I made the following: NET Composite Score: my score 65%; average is 64% and passing is 50% NET Percentage Rank: my score 52; average is 50 and passing is 17. Overall Comp. Math: my score 72%; average 69% and passing 52% Composite Reading: my score 58%; average 59% and passing 43% Testtaking Skills Level: 33: Instructional I am shocked that a rank of 17 is acceptable to get into nursing school. How did you guys do and what do the nursing schools look for in this information? TIA!!

I just had mine today and had an A+ average. But between this final and lab final I might end up with a B. It is just so frustrating to do so well and them bomb it. I am just not a good comprehensive test taker. Also on this exam today, there were some stuff I just don't think we covered. Why can't it just be the basics . . . to know that we know how to do the basics and no tricks!! Let's all keep our fingers crossed.

Hey guys, I am doing some final review before exams next week. I want to double check to make sure I am doing this problem right. Can someone double check me on these: Basic mole problem: 2Mg + O2 ---> 2MgO How many moles of magnesium are needed to react with 16 g of O2? I came up with: 16 g O2 x 1 mol O2/32.00 g O2 x 2 mol Mg/1 mol 02 = 1.0 mole and one more: The number of moles of O2 gas needed to react with 4.0 moles of Mg: 4.0 mole Mg x 1 mole O2/2 mole Mg = 2.0 mole O2 I think I am over thinking these and making it too hard on myself. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for that information. I will start researching it. It seems the names have changed from CNA to several new ones.

Who offers CNA training in the Nashville Tennessee area? I look on-line and all I see is that on-line school stuff that I believe is a rip off. I need the actual hands on training. Does anyone know of any hospitals that offer it? I would prefer that to a nursing home. Thanks in advance for anyone's help.

Well, I worried for nothing. Overall he said all of our grades were pretty bad and a few were good. He said he pretty much had to do a curve. Without the curve I made an 84 . . . with the curve, I made a 92. I was in shock!!! So, I am very happy!! Miranda, we have not done titration or I would try to help you. Sorry.

I know my college library has an on-line site for professional journals and publications. You can look anything up on line and copy or print any material from it. I put my student id and password to get into it. Check with your school library and they should set you up and show you how to research professional journals and articles. Good luck!!

Hello All, I am looking for someone who knows anything about Vanderbilt's Bridge program. I am currently pursuing my associates degree at Vol State, have finished all but one co-requisite and will apply for Fall 2007 program. I currently have a Bachelor of Arts in Business Management. Several people have suggested I look at Vanderbilt's programs. I would need to work while I am in school. Does Vanderbilt have a program that allows you to work at Vanderbilt while you are going to school? I know they have a bridge program but I lack about 9 to 12 hours to get into that program because I don't have things like nutrition, I would need another English, social science, etc. Are there any other programs other than the bridge to work there and go to school? I really appreciate everyone's help.

Hey guys. So far I have been loving Chemistry and have high A's on all my labs, quizzes and exams. But this last test we took on Tuesday was a rough one. I think I would be lucky to score a 70 or 75. The test was on the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gas - definitions and problems. That was pretty easy and I did well on that part. But the part on acids and bases and the reactions did me in. I thought I had studied pretty well but don't think I did as well as I could. Did anyone have any trouble on the acids and bases. the pH = -log [H30+] was pretty easy too. Just whining alittle . . . thinks for listening.

Does anyone know of a BSN program at TSU that works with people who already have a Bachelors? I have looked online and just see the normal associate and 4 year Bach degree for Nursing? I know Vanderbilt offer a bride but I am not sure of anywhere else. I can't afford Vandy .

I went to my school's open Nursing/Information meeting tonight. WOW, I was amazed at the amount of people trying to get into nursing. They have three sessions in the winter and I know there were probably 50+ people at this meeting so that would tell me about 150 - 200 people will be applying for about 40 spots. Sometimes it makes you wonder if you can ever get in??? I think I am doing well, but there are so many probably doing much better than me. Were you guys overwhelmed at the competition???
