Good evening! I am planning on going to nursing school in the next ten years but before that I have just been hired on at a hospital as the sole recruiter and I will mostly recruit nurses. They are building a new, state of the art hospital and will...

Thanks everyone for your input! It really does help. :nuke:

I think I have finally decided to go the STLCC route! I've been stressing about it all week and this is the best decision for me and my family. We will have to postpone building our dream house and having a second child for about 4 years but it wil...

this is another main reason i chose this program. i will need care for my then 3 year old. omg, he'll be three before i ever start the program.

First of all, congrats on passing! I've been watching your siggie waiting for results! :nuke: Second, I see that you are going into L&D. That is exactly what I hope to do when I finally graduate some time around 2089. Can you tell me what ...

Thanks for the info. Congrats again on passing!

I was just reading a thread about NS uniforms on another forum. What do the schools around St. Louis have you wear? And when are you required to wear them? ps: I don't look good in white!

I'm in Southwest City. Close to St. Louis Hills. Welcome!

WDWPixie is a smart cookie.

I am taking the same test for SLCC. I signed up for the Nursing Math class mentioned above. I am taking the online version. I'll be applying for the program after I take BIO and CHEM this summer. I'll probably take the dosage test in the Fall so ...

I am taking both Chem and BIO online this summer. I'm going to do all of my prereqs at night, online or on the weekends so that I don't have to put my son in daycare until I start the program. Saves me some money!

I better lose some weight! Are they scrubs? I wonder what Meramec wears. Thanks for the answer!

Take a look at the hospital websites. They often say. It can be anywhere from $1500 to $4000 per year. Some hospitals have caps, others do not.

Stormmaker, I'm not sure what your point is. Should we all move to NJ? You cannot compare NJ to MO. Different lifestyles, home prices, everything.

I honestly slept like a rock last night!

Thanks so much! I do already feel better now that I have made my decision. I'm the kind of person who really needs to have a plan in place. I'll probably sleep better tonight. Well, that depends on how my 16 month old sleeps.

Everything I have heard about St. Lukes has been really good. I think I am going to talk to their recruiters before I start my program.

I am interested in mat and peds. Boo! Is Tenet a good place to work? This is all very frustrating. You spend very little money but it takes 3 years to complete everything or you can spend $30K to have everything done in a year. I want there to b...

3.7? Oh no! I have a 3.5. I was just looking at SLU and was very excited until I saw the cost. There is just no way I can do that even with loan repayment from the hopsitals. How did you work it out?

I just don't know what to do. We want to have a second child but now while I'm in school. But we don't want to wait 4 or 5 years either. I am going to talk to some of the accelerated programs and see what they have to say. It's quite overwhelming...

That is great news! I met with Cheryl at Forest Park today and she said if I apply after I take BIO and CHEM I will get in around Spring 2009. I really can't wait that long! I am considering an accelerated program just so that I can get this done ...

I am looking at Chamberlain. Do you mind telling me the cost of the online program? Thanks!

I, too, am interested in the SLCC program. I just learned today that there is a 1.5 year wait list at Meramec. I still have to take Chemistry and Biology as I received my BS more than 5 years ago but I just don't know if I can wait that long.

Hello! My name is Dana. I am a SAHM to a 15 month old son and have just decided to start nursing school. I'm so excited that I found this site. I have lots of questions and this looks like the place to get some answers! I live in St. Louis and I...
