Congratulations! This is a very exciting time for you. Do not let any one discourage you with their "horror" stories! Nursing school is what you make of it. Good luck!

I am looking for some recent experiences with the Holmes CC ADN, Ridgeland program. I attended Hinds recently for a semester and finished with an A, but did not return 2nd semester due to a my child's illness. But when he is older, I am planning ...

I can not say thank you enough! You have provided some very good information for me to consider. Again, thanks and good luck with the rest of your program.

I know exactly how you feel. I went 2 1/2 months in the nursing program, then dropped out after 2 days of clinical. At the time, all I could envision was working in a nursing home changing diapers. (Please no backlash)...Just not an area that I wan...

Thank you so much for the information. Just a few more questions that I thought of. Do you feel that the instructors are there to support you, rather than beat you down? Were you taught the skills you needed for clinical or were you left to muddle t...

I was at NAHC. I just decided to not complete 2nd semester now due to my son being sick all the time in day care. I am not going to try to go back until next August, so I am planning on starting over to refresh my memory since I will be out for a ye...

Take it from me, don't quit! I felt the same exact way and I did quit. I regret my decision, but what's done is done, there's no going back. I have friends that felt the same way and they are now in second semester and feel much more confident wit...

Yeah, I'm in second semester at NAHC. I know it's easier said than done, but don't worry too much about it. I am sure you will be accepted!

When I got in for Spring 2007, I received my letter on November 17th. I think your chances are pretty good. I made a 20 on the ACT, had A's in A&P I and II and Sociology and didn't have any problems getting in. Good luck, it's going to be roug...

Hi! I am a first semester ADN student at the Allied Health Center. When I applied for entrance into the program for the Spring, the deadline was September 30 and I got my acceptance letter during November. So, roughly it took a month and a half. ...

I am a first semester nursing student who is doing very well so far, but I have a major problem. I have difficulty getting motivated to study. I begin to look at the material and get overwhelmed so I just put it up. The problem is, doing that does...

Count me in! I did go to college after high school, but my parents always told me I didn't want to be a nurse, so I majored in business. Now at 27 with a husband and a 10 month old I am in my first semester of nursing school because I know there is...

Chemistry is not required for most ADN courses in Mississippi. It is generally only required for a BSN. I only had to have A & P I and II and Microbiology.

I know exactly how you feel. I am entering Nursing School in a week and a half, and with all of the negative things that are said regarding nursing, I was really wondering if I made a good decision. I wish more people would focus on their positive ...

Just a suggestion, but rather than throw away all of the hard work you went through becoming a nurse, why not look for a nursing position in a Doctor's Office of some sort. You might not make as much money as you would make in a hospital setting, a...

I'm not sure if I can be of much assistance but, I'll try. First, are you planning on becoming an RN eventually by working through the bridge program of LPN to RN? If so, have you thought about looking into Holmes CC's (Ridgeland Campus) night RN p...

I will see my sister-in-law when we go to Philadelphia this weekend so I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks for the advice on how to handle nursing school!

I am so glad I found this thread. I felt like I was the only one who felt this way. I was wondering how every one else was dealing. This makes me feel a whole lot better. Good luck everyone.

Hello! I'm in Central Mississippi and have orientation Jan 11th and classes start on Jan 16th. I am excited and TERRIFIED all at the same time. I need some suggestions on how to handle my anxiety!! HA HA Good luck to all!

Hi! I can't give you first hand experience, but can tell you that my sister-in-law who has been a nurse for about 6 years has worked at all three of the hospitals you have listed. She is currently working at Jeff Anderson and from what I understand ...

Hey everyone! I just received my acceptance letter to Hinds for January 2007 and was just wondering if anyone else here would be attending as well! Thanks!

THANKS! I will get that book ASAP! Good luck with your new job at UMC.

Thanks and congrats to you, Chris85...but, I've been scared since the day I got my acception letter! I have heard about how hard Hinds was, but they just want you to be competent upon graduation and you have confirmed that. Do you have any suggest...

I totally agree with your definition of bed side nursing. What I disagree with is when some one else implied that we should all start out on the med/surg floor doing bed side nursing and then work our way up. The point I was trying to make is that I...

Just from personal experience..I am entering the ADN program in January, there is no other way around the math score. I was told that the only way was to take the ACT once again. I though I might have to take the ACT again, but found out I made the...
