I had applied to several places in Minneapolis... thinking about moving up there. I just got a call today saying that they're not hiring any new grads this year at Children's... because of the economy. I think the freeze is definitely geographical. T...

I'll be 19 with my RN this year... I kind of like being the baby of the class. =P But yeah, don't let people run over you because of your age. Just think... the earlier we start the more we can learn! =)

Anything downtown and south of downtown is just kind of that way. I'm not sure about Northeast Methodist area... that's off of 35 and topperwein. Southeast is getting computer charting I think this week, which is before all of the other Baptist hospi...

Southeast Baptist is pretty small and old. The DON there is super nice though... Supposedly they're building a new hospital down there eventually. I had one of my clinical rotations there but I was only on the med-surg floor so I don't know much abou...

Externships are easy to get if you get one right after the semester ends and the grads have given up their extern positions. They're hard to get a few weeks into the semester. It being a diploma is no biggie. It's actually viewed as slightly better t...

May 09! First semester was awesome... only 3 to go. =) After this one we'll be half done! I'm in a 2 year diploma program.

Baptist is actually getting it changed over so the students will be rewarded with an associates degree by graduation. I'm not sure when exactly it will be changed, but I graduate in May of 09 and they said we'd probably have it by then... Even so, th...

you'll be fine! i'm 18 (since august) and am finishing up my first sem. of nursing school this week. i did my prereqs in high school and clep'd out of a lot of stuff. i got accepted the first time too. i just wanted to let you know that it'll be awes...

I graduate in May '09 with my RN and I'll be 19.

Yeah, I've lost weight so far. Probably from moving away from mom's home food and also being more active than I used to be running around to classes and clinicals and all. And I think stress makes me lose weight.

Me!! I'm getting a little nervous, but I'm so excited to go back to school again! I had half the summer off and it was so boring... I love being in school, haha! I'm weird. Orientation's the 22-24th, and classes start the 27th. We get back from vacat...

Way to go!! Awesome! =) Isn't it exciting?! I can't wait to get started. :biggringi

I'm 17. Finished with my prereqs and coreqs and starting nursing school (2 year diploma program) this fall. So I guess I'll be a 19 year old RN. =P

No, they don't do waiting lists. They count up your "points" due to GPA on prereqs and score on the NET and figure it out that way somehow. I was accepted first time. The NET study guide can be ordered when you sign up for the test. Or you can get it...

I'm starting there this fall. I was grandfathered in under the old academic plan and tuition and some books were quoted to me at about $10,000. They ARE revamping it though so it'll probably change. Not sure which way. Also, they actually require the...

I start August 21st... The only thing I'm really scared about is passing out. I kinda have slight needlephobia. =S

Nursing classes!! I'm so excited I still can't quite believe it! =D

I didn't use a study guide... but there is one that the makers of the test put out thats supposed to be good. There are also some online links in the pre-nursing student forum to free study guides. The math I found very easy... got 100 on it. The rea...

Thanks! I really hope you get in too. Keep us posted. =)

I'm in!!!! The lady from financial aid called me today and told me.... said I'd probably get $1300 a semester too in a scholarship based on GPA. I'm SOOO EXCITED!! Official letters go out next Friday. =D This is so exciting for me... I did dual enrol...

I took the HESI A2 a few weeks ago... the entrance test. It's not bad at all. The study guide you can buy covers it all pretty well. We did math, reading, A&P, personality, and learning styles. I scored 95% composite on it.

My school had just anatomy and just physiology. I took anatomy last summer 5.5 weeks and physio this past spring. There's so much overlap though that it's kinda weird... I still learned physio in anatomy and anatomy in physio. =P But I do know that t...

Classical violin all the way. I've been playing it since I was 5 and LOVE it! It's so fun and satisfying. I *have* put a lot of time into it though already... I was very competitive when it came to being ahead and better than everyone else my teacher...

Yay I got an A!!!! Grades were just posted last night. I'm SO excited! I was REALLY close and the way the prof had it set up it was impossible to figure out my exact grade. But I just did all the work I could do (extra credit paper and test, etc.) an...

I got my NET results in exactly one week. I was kinda surprised... because they told me at least 2. Hope yours come soon!
