Does Hopkinsville Community College have a good nursing school? Thanks

Hi everyone, hope everyone is having a smoother experience than me. I am so frustrated!!!! I just want to get into a nursing school and get started!! Is cost something most of you adult students are looking at? I am truly kicking myself, I had it g...

Hi there, I am interested in applying for the Chamberlain ASN/ADN program and wanted to know if there were any in the program currently who had input. I am a non-nurse, but I am a medical transcriptionist so pretty familliar with healthcare and termi...

I am a medical transcriptionist, currently trying to be admitted into a nursing school, which has really been a stressful ordeal. Also, as a medical transcriptionist I know the effects of outsourcing offshores (especially India) and how it has drasti...

Hello, ok, I've been looking into different nursing schools. It has really brought me to tears how hard it is to get in and the lack of space for all those applying. I can't believe how difficult it is to get into nursing school now! To begin with...

I just posted as part of another thread this same question, but thought I'd be more specific in this post. I'm 37, hoping to be getting into nursing school which would be 16 months as an accelerated BSN program. Does the Navy Reserves waive age lim...

Hi, I'm 37, so I'm only eligible to join the Navy Reserves which I have been contemplating. I am also currently applying to acceptance into nursing school. From what I'm reading on these threads there is a chance if I joined and became a hospital c...

Thanks for your help, that doesn't apply to every state though does it?

Thanks for your replies. In answer to your question, I am interested in the Reserves. Active duty is appealing, but I really don't know if I could do that, as I have two boys who are almost 8 and 6. I thought the Nurse Candidate program had a cut...

I agree TrudyRN, and it doesn't need to be just one person, it will take a LOT of people bugging the representatives (I think the same needs to be done about medical reports being done overseas as well).

I have been trying to get readmitted into a nursing school right now, and I have found it is so much harder to get into nursing school then it used to be (I was as nursing major right out of high school but changed majors). I am still trying to get ...

Oh yes, I already know about the accelerated programs and how tough it is, this nursing school seems to be very flexible, though. Like if I am admitted I will be in a more fast track type of program, instead of a traditional accelerated program per ...

My whole grievance with the situation, is there is an OBVIOUS lack of nursing educators, schools, etc, whatever, to meet the demand for those seeking a nursing education who are qualified and will make good nurses. The problem doesn't need to be solv...

Well, I am going to have to end up driving if I get selected into the schools I am applying to, but that is okay, because I am eager and willing to do it. I have applied to a private college accelerated BSN which seems to be promising, and then now ...

I am not turning my anger at immigrant nurses, hey, I know the possibilities of what could happen if that situation does occur, with my being a medical transcriptionist. I am saying I know there are hundreds of able QUALIFIED (I didn't say warm bodi...

There has been a concern over the projected nursing shortage and the baby boomers becoming elderly-- the government is proposing as an answer to that shortage to bring in overseas nurses, which would be a lot more than ever before. Yes, I am sure t...

I am not falling down in anything, and please don't make assumptions and statements about my efforts to get back into nursing school. It's just more difficult now to get in then it used to be. I had no problems in my two years of nursing school doi...

I am a single mother with two young boys. I do not have the time nor the MONEY to take classes over. I need to get in a nursing program with what I have now-- I have most prereq's completed although some schools because of time past want me to take t...

In response to those who posted about 500 applicants and close to 1000 applicants, with only 125 to be accepted-- well, that is exactly what I mean, what the government needs to do is provide grants for more nursing education and instructors, more sc...

To Hopefull, yes but their being paid peanut wages makes it easier for MT companies to keep our wages down, whether or not it works out for them over in their country is inconsequential, it effects the US MT pay here.

In response about lack of instructors and their pay, that is what I am referring to in a sense. There are tons of able bodied individuals here in US applying for nursing schools but being turned away for lack of slots and space, and there are the mi...

To TrudyRN, oh yeah, they send it overseas, which I totally agree is a travesity with regards to our personal medical records, and to me is against HIPAA policy. I think as a whole Americans need to raise cain that they do NOT want their medical repo...

Are there any online distance learning ADN programs?

Hi, I was browsing these forums which led me to go to Deaconess' website. Am I understanding correctly from what I am seeing on their website that they have an online ADN program? What I am reading is you finish the PN program in the first year and ...

Thanks, your all's posts are helping me get some insight. Sometimes it helps to have contact with others in the same situation or experience with the same situation. The more I think about it, I really do want my RN as opposed to an LPN right off, bu...
