Well here I am hours away from starting Nursing School. Nervous anxious and yep I don't know what to wear either. I would like to share some beautiful words that have helped me in the past. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepes...

Hi guys, I'm going over my supplies for school and I read that we need the Clinical Skills Pack for Nurses. I'm not sure if we needed to buy that or they would give us that in class. Does anyone know? Let me know, Thanks:rolleyes:

Good luck and Congratulations! You are very deserving of all the best there is.

Hello fellow desperately wants to be a nurse, I felt that same way years ago but also knew that I needed a plan. Before anything you need to finish your prereqs then get into school. Get that part out of the way first. You should be proud of yourself...

Hi Mag. Did you have any success with this? I'm going to go over there in person tomorrow or Wed. (T.S. Fay is in the way) and find out about it. My cousin received money for LPN school. books, uniforms, gas and Nclex. I just left my job Friday, so t...

Thanks for this link Bumblebee! It seems we might need it soon, I got an email that we are going to get another ATI test for Critical Thinking in the beginning of Sept. We had the TEAS, so I guess that was just the beginning. Any advice from past Nur...

Askpudus, Thank you so much for your helpful info and insight. Let me know what you think. I bought most of my books through Amazon, but it seems I ordered the wrong Edition on the Fundamentals in Nursing (I got the 6th Edition instead of the 7th). D...

Yessy, Slow down and breathe. If we got this far, we will get through the rest. Others have done it, we can too! Yet, I know I have to be realistic and make sure I do everything to succeed from day one. There is some truth to time management , some...

It was a little unorganized, with such a big group as yesterday. The scheduling for the test today was a mess. I still don't understand why I have to take the test. Either way, I'm in Nursing School and all that matters is learning, passing and gett...

Almost done. Just missing the 2nd TB test reading on the form. I'll get that on Monday. I've got the background test done, received the email confirming it and the drug tests. There sure was a lot to do. Now I'm just going over the TEAS. I would hate...

Wow, I'm starting Nursing school at the end of Aug. That involves quitting my job of 11 years. Scary! Yet I have been blessed with help from my angel mother-in-law, my husband and just plain cutting back. i will probably look for some employment afte...

Thanks Nlion87, I'm studying from the ATI Testguide and I feel a little better about the test. The online tests sounds like a good idea also. Good luck!

Good luck to those of you that our going into the scholars program. I just didn't feel comfortable with the 2 year lock up for my self. Does anyone know if the TEAS test will also be on Science? I've heard that some schools only test math and english...

I know how you feel. Between the background check, shots, cpr and now studying for the TEAS test. HA! Also, working full time, just had knee surgery and stress about leaving my current job (11 years), yep I couldn't be happier! All I can think about...

Wow! What wonderful experiences. As for myself, I just got accepted to a 4 semester Nursing Program at the young age of 45!:loveya: I'm excited, nervous and can't wait for the first day of class. Now that does mean leaving a Banking job of 11 years ...

Your not crazy. You're caught the bug just like me. I just got accepted to Nursing School! Me! I'm 45 yrs old have two college age kids and have been a banker for the last 20 plus years. We are following our dreams, maybe our mission in life, call i...

Well, I signed up for the CPR class on the 15th of June and got my appointment for the background check as well. I see I need to get the drug screening and shots. That's my next mission, so I'll have make a doctors appointment or check out the other...

Hey guys, I'm in!!!:redbeathe:yeah: I can't believe it yet, the wait is over. I went to dentist, left with my mouth still numb and checked my mail at the PO box !!!! There is was. Is it true? My dreams of becoming a Nurse are coming true. I couldn't...

I got accepted!!!!! I can't believe it yet, but it is here I have been accepted the the Generic Full time Nursing Program. My dream of being a nurse is within reach now. There are so many things to do, between shots and criminal background checks. I...

I went to the Po Box at lunch and after work. This is really starting to get to me. That was pretty funny, it's actually better to laugh though I feel like crying. AHHHHHH

One more day in limbo, waiting and hoping for that letter on it's way. I'm just praying that they come this week, I can't imagine another week like this. It's agony.

We are all still waiting. Until that letter comes in we're all in the same boat. Nothing is going to stop us from the goal of becoming a Nurse, the road just might be a little longer. It just makes the quest that much sweeter. Good Luck everyone.

I believe that 24 months is a long commitment. At least for me. The idea of being stuck in a job without being able to leave. I'll have to think about some more but I think I'll go with the regular track.

All this waiting is driving me crazy! We have to be accepted, there is no other way around it. I am going to drink some tea now and try to meditate about good things. Positive and the way!

I'm back in town. Went this morning and picked up the scholarship application. When will the wait be finally over, it states right here that we need the acceptance letter to apply for these scholarships. Why torture us! This weekend is going to be h...
