Hi all- I'll be starting nursing school this fall, and I'm curious how it will be looked upon when I start looking for a nursing job in a little over 2 years but don't have any healthcare related work experience??? It seems like most of the nurses an...

I'm getting antsy! Just curious if anyone has a heads up on when the letters might be coming? Its becoming a big event to go to the mailbox each day...:nuke:

My husband and I both went back to school for nursing, so it goes without saying that we have taken out quite a few student loans to cover some living expenses and pay off cars, etc. (Not that that was the wisest decision, but it is what it is). Init...

I'm a first year nursing student with a teaching assignment to teach self breast exam to a class of 8th grade girls in my area. Any suggestions? (I've contacted the local american cancer society and susan g komen foundation to look for resources.) I ...

You may have already made your decision, but thought I would chime in anyway. I too am facing a similar decision (JCCC or KU Med). I've heard nothing but great things about Research's program, and they do offer the tuition forgiveness program if you ...

i know i have to get about 5 different shots and a tb test over the summer, but that's it, i think. i hope i'm not missing anything, but i can't think of anything else that needs to be done. congrats!

Yep! Got my letter on Friday (almost hugged the mailman!)

I'm nearly 26 years old and about to start nursing school this fall (yippeee!), but while doing my prerequisites I have found out that my fellow students assume I'm 18 or younger. I've been married nearly 6 years and have a 3 year old child, so I FEE...

Thanks everyone for the helpful advice! I guess I should have added that my husband works urgent every evening and Saturdays and is often gone on weekends with the National Guard...so in the sense of the fact that I'm responsible solely for my daugth...

My close friend is an RT, and she loves her job (she works in a cancer center administering radiation therapy to cancer patients. Where we live, this required additional schooling after she graduated from her RT program). However, she is now consider...

NurseMiller...I thought of one more question for you! I'm curious if JCCC's program offers an NCLEX prep program that is done throughout the two years of the nursing program? I've heard of other schools doing this...I know it costs a little extra, bu...

My husband I both took out Sallie Mae Tuition Answer loans before we both went back to school for nursing (we have a mortgage and child). We ended up not needing the smaller of the two loans and paid it back as soon as soon as possible...but that mon...

I would echo what a lot of the others have said. I'm 25, and 1 1/2 years ago, I left a nice job in human resources to pursue nursing. I personally didn't feel like what I did really mattered or had any meaning for myself or others, and I needed a dif...

NurseMiller-Thanks for all the helpful info! I noticed you mentioned that some students have evening clinicals. I'm curious if this is randomly assigned or if student's situations are considered before assignments are made. The reason I ask is that m...

Definitely. I'm with you on that! I want to be a nurse, but I still want my job as a mom to be a priority. I worry that I won't be able to sucessfully balance everything. But, alot of moms and dads have juggled it before and survived so I'm sure we c...

My interview is 9 am Friday the 23rd...I'm quite nervous as well! Good luck to you!

Letters should be in the mail!

Nothing new in my mailbox I actually ran into a girl today who is just about to graduate from JCCC's RN program and she said she didn't remember getting her letter until AFTER spring break. She also thought she was pretty sure that she didn't get he...

I have been accepted at KU, but I am really interested in JCCC's program...so its driving me super crazy to not know when they are sending letters! I'll be out of town this weekend...so if you get your letter tomorrow, please post so I'll have a head...

I will defintely post when I get my letter. Just curious, have you applied to anywhere else in the area? Best of luck to you!

Hello...and welcome to KC! I've lived here all my and definitely like the Mission area. I live near Mission myself. Its a very neat area with a great reputation (just don't buy a house with a bad basement foundation, take it from me!) To those who ha...

Accepted to University of Kansas Med. School's BSN Program...start Aug. '07. I'm in the class of '09, Baby! I've never been this excited (or nervous) in my life! :cheers:

Hello to you all- My husband and I are both aspiring nurses. He was a cop (US Marshal) in a past life and I was an HR professional. We both wanted a change and decided to do it together. He is now a combat medic in the national guard and a full time ...

Hello! I'm a prenursing student who has applied to JCCC's ADN program as well as KU Med's BSN program for Fall '07. As a mother of a 3 year old, I'm interested in hearing feedback from JCCC and/or KU Med Nursing students who have recently graduated o...
