Okay, current and/or former students and rejectees: Has anyone been rejected due to their gpa? Was the gpa less than 3.2. I'm afraid that with their competivness, I won't get accepted.

I'm just looking for some advise...... I'm a pre-nursing student with back and knee pain. I've had several x-rays and they've come back normal. I'm taking prescribed pain relievers, muscle relaxers, and anti-inflamatory medications but I don't want...

the best school depends on your personal preference. the best school for me is bjc because they offer evenings. i don't think there are any "bad" schools in stl with the exception of chamberlain. however, that's my personal opinion. if you just s...

:yelclap:Congrats to you!!!! I won't be joining you at UMSL but will be starting BJC in the Spring. Let us know how your first semester goes. I'd be glad to know.

I'm in a similar situation. I have one kid (age 5) and work fulltime and plan to work fulltime for the first year of my BSN program. I will be starting in Jan 09. I'm so scared. I'm just working on becoming more organized and plan to never sleep ...

That seems like a lot of patients to handle on one shift. What is a typical nurse to patient ratio?

Question:: When you are PRN, do you qualify for tuition assistance?

I'm attending Barnes Spring 09 with evening classes 3 - 4 nights a week and clinicals every other weekend from 7 - 7p Sat and Sun.

I'm currently taking A&PII and nutrition. This Fall I'll take Stats and Microbiology and I'll be DONE!!

I've been so lucky as to get accepted to BJC for Spring 09. :w00t: :smokin:

Barnes Jewish College has an evening/weekend program offered each Spring.

Good Luck!

Daytonite, you rock!!!

I've been researching this as well. LPN programs are generally 12 - 15 mth in length with roughly 63 cr hrs. When you decide to pursue a nursing degree, only a few courses transfer. I think STLCC's LPN to RN is about 3 semseter (their RN program i...

Diploma, ASN, BSN all equal R.N. license. I've heard very good things about this school. Don't worry. Good Luck!!

You know...I was feel the same way. I took A&PII and just hated it. Got a C. Thought about giving up on numerous occassions. Decided that I can't see myself doing anything else in the world beside be a nurse. I'm now retaking A&PII (and ...

I work in the insurance field and plan to enter nursing school Jan 09.

I have only 3 more pre-reqs to complete before I can start a BSN program here. The requirement is a 2.75. My question is....because of my low gpa, should I give up nursing and try something like HIT? Nurses are deemed as "smart" people. I believe tha...

Congrats...hoping to get in Spring '09

Lovescoffee, good luck and thanks for the insight on Myspace. I never knew they had that on Myspace.

Lovetoday, how about applying to the CC and while waiting, you could get most of your gen ed courses out of the way. I don't know how many you have but Barnes requires 67 credits for admittance into their BSN program. All (or most) nursing programs...

I took the teas and found the study guide to be more difficult than the actual test. I'm sure you will do great. Best of luck to you.

I'll try to expand on that a little..... I guess saying that I "don't" like to study was not my intent. My intent was to state that because I don't have a set studying pattern/routine/tecnhique, I lacked the commitment to study. I basically don't m...

I just wanted to thank many of you for yor positive and uplifting comments. I also wanted to note: 1. Like many others, I haven't found the best studying technique that fits my learning style. However, my studying habits are continually improving. ...

This thread scares me as I am an aspiring nurse. Aren't nurses allowed to get sick? It's different for those of us with desk jobs who can sit back, take motrin, and drink tea. It's another thing when you are up on your feet running around trying t...
