I understand where you are coming from. I am NOT an academically smart person at all. In high school, they said I had a "learning disability" and could not learn math... I barely even graduated with a 1.6 gpa. So when I realized that nursing was my...

Okay, here is the deal... I just got accepted into the fall nursing program (GREAT NEWS)... now for a little bad news... I have been trying to save up money for school but I have not been able to find a job and save, so I am basically totally broke....

Thanks for the Info, What is the SEOG? Also, what did you need to do to actually get the money once you were informed that you were eligable for the aid. Could you explain what you had to do for each? Did you just fill out some paperwork then send...

Or they may just judge and label people as "obsessing" when they just asked a simple question... they may even refuse to give a straight answer... shurg....

Thanks for the info and clearing up that misconception. I also agree that people who currently use drugs should not be eligable. Nursing is a serious thing and people who use drugs do not really have their lives on track enough to think about a job ...

just because someone may have done drugs in their stupid youth doesn't mean they should not be a nurse. people make mistakes... it's called being human. i think her question is valid. if she used to use in the past then i don't see why she would n...

Man that wait was BRUTAL !!!!!!! Went to pick up my letter on Friday from the Post Office. I was so nervous as I ripped that letter open and when I saw I got in, I just lost it. I had a 3.67 nursing GPA with a 3.75 cumlutive. The accelerated program...

You can turn it into the office in person... thats what I am going to today tommorow (monday morning)

haha... so true

why is it so hard to just give a straight answer because there is a lot of validity in her question. Taking a Urine sample to a hair sample are TOTALLY different and can mean you may fail even if you are clean. As is my knowledge, a hair sample can...

I got my acceptance letter today!!!! I had to go pick it up at the post office and I was jumping around and hugging the post office workers. A lot of hard work and dedication went into getting into the program and I know I am blessed! Looking forw...

Congrats! I am going to pick up my letter from the post office right now... my fingers are crossed. Was that 3.75 your cumlutive GPA or your nursing GPA fopr your pre-requisites?

i understand what you are going through. it is really sucky to see so many kind, awesome potential nurses struggle while the people who are only in it for the money have an easy time. it is really backwards because so much of nursing is centered ar...

...My real message is on the next page

you professor sounds like a real piece of work if he is telling you to drop the course because of one bad grade. don't drop the course until the last minute and until then try your hardest. read and re-read the text (not to say you aren't doing tha...

I know that you need to have at least 1-2 years experience to get into travel nursing but I was wondering if that meant full time or part time service. I would like to be able to work towards my BSN and complete my experience requirements at the sam...

Is it just me or do a lot of people in the nursing program seem rather cold and cruel? I do not mean to generalize but, many times, I notice that most nursing students I talk to don't seem like they are getting into it for the right reasons. I know...

I think I may have gotten a B in Algebra. Would any of you out there retake the class if you got a B?

I got my grade and I was stunned to see that I got an A in the class!!!! :monkeydance::monkeydance::monkeydance: I guess I was doubting myself for no good reason.

1. Travel, Travel, Travel, Travel, TRAVEL!!!!!!!!!!! 2. Helping others 3. Learning certain skills 4. Pay

I see what you are saying but, then again, we all go through the same stress and it doesn't turn the rest of us into meanies. I think it just has a lot to do with a person's personality. I really do think it is fair to say the won't be good nurses b...

I would just take the class and get it over with. If that is the only class you need to have, it shouldn't be that bad, right? The finish line is so close just ask God for the strength to continue and you will be fine if you have faith. Go for it...

I had biology in HS but I only had one semester and you need a year for my nursing program. Be sure to meet with a nursing counselor and go through a checklist of all the classes you need.... and then meet with another counselor to make sure that yo...

I think you should take this persons advice. I think that you are overloading yourself on too many classes and taking a big risk here. I do not mean to discourage you, because you can achieve all things you put your mind to, but you have to think a...

my humble words of advice; set you goal but be ready for some set backs. you should just barely be able to complete your pre-reqs by the spring of 2009 but doesn't your school have a waiting list for the program? in my cituation, i started this wint...
