that changed from another job in healthcare. I am currently a student taking general ed classes. I am trying to decide if I want to do nursing 100%, so I have been also researching other fields like radiology and respiratory therapy. Whenever I go...

I'm still hear waiting to find out. It won't be at least the end of the month until I'll get my letter. I'm not sure at all if I'll get in or not. I wish I can know sooner so I can start preparing. Anyone else waiting?

I thought I would give you guys the update. I got my letter today and I'm on the alternate list... #8 of 15. So there is still a chance of getting in. I better get my immunizations together just in case. Are there many people here who go into the...

You know I was really thinking about that today. Why do they do it so close to the beginning of the semester? It's to much to do in 1.5 months and during Christmas break. Well, that is if I do get in. Every semester it's much more difficult to ge...

That's what I'm worried about, if I do get in I have so much to get done. On my advisement paper for the nursing program it says we must provide proof of our immunizations before enrolling in classes. It says that there may be a background check an...

Marilyn, We've briefly talked about this before so you know my opinion. I feel the same way as you, I like the science aspect of medical school but it would require so much sacrifice. With having small kids, that's a huge sacrifice that I'm not wil...

I'm still waiting to hear if I got in, too. I won't find out for another month. What sucks is enrollment begins next week and I'm scared if I don't get in all the classes I want to take won't have any spots left.

It sound like a combination of your exposure to more germs and your own health. If you are stressed out, not sleeping enough, not eating right and not exercising, they all can lower your immune system. Make sure you are taking care of your self by ...

AA's wouldn't necessarily be cheaper to employ if you need more MDA's to supervise. I tend to think the the cost is about the same either way. (Keep in mind I'm still an undergrad student, so my statement is based on what I've been reading here for...

Welcome to the board! You'll learn a lot from here, I know I did. I think you will find that the majority of people do all their pre-reqs first. For me, I have no choice because the program is so competitive that you have to have them complete to e...

Congratulations!! I'm still here waiting, I won't find out for at least another month. People keep telling me they think I will get in, hope they are right.

That is sooo true.

Some people don't do well on certain types of test. Personally I am horrible at essay questions. Even though I know the material inside and out, I have trouble putting it correctly in an essay I will get an answer wrong because the teacher will ni...

Man, that sucks... no money until December. We get our a month after the semester begins and sometimes that month seems to take forever. Oklahoma is "technologically retarded" too, but I'm sure glad everything is online for school. Enrollment, tran...

I could of done my BSN in 4 years but that's with 16-18 credits a semester. But I'd rather go the ADN-RN-BSN route, much less stressful on my family. I never heard of any programs in my area where you can take all your pre-reqs along with the nursin...

I grew up in Jacksonville, never really been out to the small towns in FL but I do know of towns here in OK that sound like what you describe. I now live in Oklahoma City and I still don't think there is much here in OK. When people want to go to a...

I haven't traveled much either outside the state but Oklahoma still sucks. There's not much to do here (I think that's the reason there such a bad drug problem here - it's the only fun thing for people to do). I really miss the ocean. I definitely...

Let's trade places, I miss Florida and hate Oklahoma. I want to do either CCU, NICU, or OR.

Perfectionist here, too. I haven't started nursing school yet just pre-reqs but I do have a little fear, but it's only natural. I turn around that perfectionist view around by thinking that I KNOW I will get through this a be a real good nurse. Ju...

It is fustrating that it takes a long time. I just applied to the associate's program and if I get in, it would of taken me 3.5 years total to complete. You said it yourself, there are more pre-reqs and then the wait to apply to get in. When you ...

Congratulations!!!! I'm still waiting, too... 1.5 more months until they send the letters out. Do they just go by GPA?

I was rejected last application period to get in the fall semester. I just applied for the spring semester and I'm still waiting to hear if I got in or not. If I get rejected again, I may look into other health science programs here at my school. F...

I followed it on the first post. I just don't understand why you care so much your first choice didn't choose you. You said that when you choose it you knew you didn't have a good chance because so many other students already work there. So you ob...

It cracks me up how some people think it's so easy to be a stay at home mom. Where's the time when you are constantly running after someone cleaning up, changing diapers, feeding, giving a bath, etc. I stay home with two toddlers so I know how you ...

At my school, it's hard to get into the program without having your pre-reqs done. We go by point system and you need those points to be competitive enough since the cutoff number is so high. All my classes sound more like Colleen's. We already kno...
