Most schools do not require non-trads to take the SAT. That's what the compass is for... it's generally for people who did not take the SAT or who have been out of school for a while. Of course, I would pick the school that DOES require the SAT lol. ...

A friend of mine works night-shift in a jail. They work 7 days on, then 7 days off, so her situation is probably a little easier than only having a day or 2 off in between. On her last work night, she stays up all day... she doesn't even give herself...

I work in a call-center... obviously not the same type of job. (I'm just getting started on my nursing pre-reqs). However, I think your situation occurs in a lot of different places. Is it the actual job that you don't like, or is it the management, ...

Narnian, I was the same way... couldn't even handle the thought of blood lol. I wanted to be a nurse... puke, poop, broken bones, etc didn't bother me, but show me some blood and I'd pass out. So, I took a phlebotomy course. I figured if it turns out...

I think it all depends on the individual. Nursing school requires a big time commitment and it's hard to get a job that will work around your school schedule. I'm still taking prereqs, in fact really just getting started on prereqs. Right now, I work...

One of my family members is in jail... he's bipolar and is denied his medication... then he gets in trouble for being violent. Hello?!?! I just don't get it sometimes... so sad.

Hello all! I think I have FINALLY found the school for me! I currently live in the Dalton, GA area, but for personal reasons, I don't want to go to Dalton State. I was looking into Chatt State and Cleveland State, but that would put me out of state. ...

bump... I would like to hear of experiences as well!

Sorry, I can't help to identify these, but what a cool idea for a collection!

I went to Chatt Tech a few years ago (was thinking of getting my LPN, but we moved away). I only went for 2 semesters, but I can't say a single bad thing about the school. All of my teachers were very helpful... in fact, all of the staff was very hel...

I am going to start my prereqs probably summer 2010. I would love to start in Spring so that I can apply to the program sooner, BUT I am pregnant and due January 7th... even if I could do only online courses for Spring, I really really really want to...

I'm assuming you'll find out if you're into the RN program before the LPN starts? If your ultimate goal is RN and you ARE accepted this fall, then I would go that route... if you're NOT accepted, I would go the LPN route. I have 2 kids (and a 3rd one...

BUMP Did you ever find out? I am a good 5 hours away, but if I only have to drive down once a week (even if I have to stay overnight), it is so worth it for me. I work full time, and have 2 little ones, so flexibility is a wonderful thing. Let me kno...

I have always thought about doing pediatric oncology. I'm a HUGE supporter of hospitals like St. Jude's because I lost a friend at a young age to cancer. What gets me is when people (like my dad) say "Ugh... I just couldn't be around those sick kids ...

I know this is an old post, but just in case you're still on here... Emory in Atlanta, GA also has an ADN-MSN program. You have to take a semester of "bridge" courses before starting the program. It's geared towards students who are already working f...

I have to take the Compass as well. My school gave 2 websites to help "prepare" for the exam. Honestly, I haven't looked at them yet.... just got my letter yesterday lol. Hope they help! http://www.act.org/asset/pdf/guide.pdf http://www.act.org/compa...

I'll be starting my prereqs in the Fall for nursing... another good year before I can even apply to the nursing program. Yet, I'm just so excited to get started. It's killing me waiting these few months to start classes lol. I thought about taking a ...

I think the first step is making sure this is what you want to do. Maybe see about volunteering at a hospital for a while... reading up on different healthcare careers... if you're thinking of doing a shorter program now and maybe finishing up nursin...

I'm just getting started on my prereqs this fall, but I plan to work up until the actual nursing program. I have 2 kids and my husband just doesn't make enough right now to carry all of us alone. However, once I'm in the nursing program I would like ...

I am going the ADN route. I eventually want to get my master's degree... not sure which specialty yet (I think only shadowing and experience can help determine that), but leaning towards being a CRNA. To do this program, I have to have 1-2 years expe...
