As someone was saying before if you want it, you will obtain it! It's going to be hard, I am not going to lie to you. You will need a support system and someone to watch baby...but go for it!

Taylor's will be majorly used in your fundamentals class...but only about 3/5 of it. You will not go cover to cover in that book in one semester, but by the end of your program you will probably be familiar with it. But it's nice to have to reffer to later in courses... and use the (The Point) computer module look in the front cover you should be able to go to the point and study from there too! I am in a 5 semester program and have 6 weeks left in semester 2... Don't feel scared; I know...I was there too once not too long ago. there is nothing to be scared about, if you want this... you will obtain it. prioritize and organize! Good luck!

SRMC has anywhere from 20-35 students graduate and take the NCLEX-RN every fall and spring, it is in a rather mediocre area and income area, not located in Midlothian (JTCC) who's pass rates have been shockingly low, or Richmond ( JSRCC) or VCU, and seems to be producing fine nurses.

Before you bash a school, do you research... just saying.

I find it a bit of a poor idea considering we should all think of safety first I agree if I started feeding my child candy out of a medicinal container, he may think all medicinal container contain cand. allnurses should be more catering to a nurse with selling comfy shoes, neat pens, hand sanitizers, ID badge holders, cool or cute things that can help us get through our long shifts. :)

For the past 3 semesters SRMC has had 100 % pass rate on the NCLEX.

Your chances on getting in are going to rest on many things. How many credits you have that can be applied to the nrsing program, the grades in those classes, letters of rec. , maybe an interview process, having your immunization records up to date, writing a student statement ( Dear nursing school board, this is why I want to be a nurse) your GPA, if you have retaken any classes, different schools have different ways of processing classes that you have retaken. Good luck to you! You need to ask or research on how the applicants are taken... do they score on a point system ( GPA can be worth up to 5, the amount of credits you have done towards the degree already could be up to 5, if you have to take a NET or TEAS test, you must pass by your school's standards, but then you may be ranked against others) Also, at many schools it varies every semester with the students who apply , their GPA's and such. Again, good luck to you!

SRMC's nursing school will have a building and facilities on RBC campus and they will probably no longer have their building in downtown Petersburg. They are not building a new facility, but RBC is vacating an old science building and the labs will be re-vamped for nursing. probably moving fall 2011 or spring 2012.

Well, nobody wants to go to school for 3 years for a diploma! Thats rediculous. And I feel that SRMC produces just as good nurses as any other nursing school in the area. In each batch of graduating RNs you get the ones who know there stuff and the ones who know enough to pass the NCLEX... if you feel you work with inadequate RNs who are being produced by SRMC's school you should be the bigger person and try to guide them or if you feel so strongly, write them a letter.

If by PSB test you are referring to a psych services bur test, No. At SRMC, you will send in your app with all required documents like all official transcript, letters of rec, student statement, app. fee and all of that, they will process it, and contact you to set up to take the NET test if you haven't taken it. I think SRMC will evaluate your psych level off of the stress evaluation on the NET. I have been accepted and am now getting ready for background check and uniform fittings. I wish you luck!

I am starting in January, we have 2 kids and my husband just retired from the Army, he can't find a job. We are just living off of his pension right now. I have 1 grant and 2 scholarships that will cover my supplies, uniforms, and books, so I am taking 1 $4,000 governments student loans each semester ( 5 semesters) to live on... for mostly gas, my commute will be about 50 minutes each way. once I am done with nursing school, I will deffer payments until 6 months after graduation, then consolidate them, so I only pay 1 loan payment monthly, and I get to keep the average intrest rate from the 5 loans.... that is what I am doing... student loans are good credit as long as you pay them when it comes time, there is no penalty to pay them off early and if you are in a tight spot you can defer payment longer and sometimes if you work in a low income area at a clinic or hospital parts of your loans may be forgiven. :) good luck!

i got in to srmc, will see everyone there in january of 2011. :)

I am taking chemuistry this fall, just a general Chemistry course, but taught by the chair of Chemistry... the beggining was way too much math and trig for word problems, now, that we are in actual chemistry work, I enjoy it. I do not need Chemistry to become an RN, but I will need it when I go for my BSN. Good luck to everyone, and if anyone needs any help with general chemistry... I will try to help you, just message me.

usually, if you are honest about it, and it was that long ago... it's not a huge deal. But like "flying ICU RN" said, ask an AMMED recruiter and they will be able to tell you. Good luck!
