Hopeful - How did the meeting with the dean go? I so hope you got resolution. Personally, I would have fought like heck BUI I completely understood you when you talked about watching a movie with your twins. I am a single parent of a 3 yr old and...

Cosyla - you can do it! I am a single parent too. I am moving in with my mother who was going to help with my 3 yr old. Unfortunately, she has COPD and very suddenly can't progressed to where she can't even walk 10 ft without a major breathing epis...

I am moving to go to my school this weekend. UGH! At that point where it is all the odds and ends and junk, but junk you use. Cleaned the house I am moving into last weekend. Will be spending the next few months before school starts organizing it...

We use Ogden too. Was your way sufficient? I was thinking of doing the same thing. Thanks

My school doesn't teach medical math but, like wildchipmunk, had to self-study and pass prior to acceptance in the program. The school actually offers an online course, but the dean of health sciences said it is a waste and easy enough to study on y...

Love the useless white dress comment - very funny We wear the school polo shirt in green with any bottoms that go past our knees for class. Clinicals are white scrubs with school patch, white nursing shoes (specifically provided by the school) and I...

Thank you so much Jeremy!

We have to have CPR before acceptance at my school as well. It isn't uncommon. We also have to test out prior to acceptance on Medical Math and Medical Terminology. They offer an online course, but advise you to self-study. Thankfully, I have unti...

Sarasota Memorial is a magnet awarded hospital. My sister has worked there for 16 years in all areas and loves it! It is my first stop when I graduate. They have an outstanding education department as well. www.smh.com

Where I live, all the ADN programs and every BSN program I spoke with have waiting lists of anywhere from 2-4 years. For most of them, you couldn't even apply until you finished at least one year of pre-req. Our LPN programs are immediate entry. I...

I am hopeful that my NS will not have as bad of a problem with this. During the initial orientation with the Director of Health Sciences, she went through her spiel/powerpoint presentation and then had a Q&A period. If any of the questions had ...

Go for it! Worst case scenario, if you find that school or family is suffering, you have to quit or cut back on hours. As long as you do so with plenty of notice, you will be fine. It sounds like your new employer is used to students and is willin...

I am so excited having read this thread. I am starting at Charlotte tech in Jan. 09! I have lived in Englewood more off than on over the past 30 years and will be moving back from Orlando to do the program. I had a very good feeling about CTC after m...

Pam - call charlotte technical college. If they don't offer it, they will know who does. Push to speak to the nursing dept. The school operator gives incorrect info (she has been saying nursing program is full when applications haven't even been m...

Congratulations on the baby! One option to look into is workforce development. It is a federal program that will help pay for school, child care, even gas and stipends while you are going to school It is aimed at unemployed and underemployed (cons...

Have you considered the LPN program at Robert Morgan or any of the other vocational technical colleges in Miami-Dade (check in the Miami-Dade public school system website)? Your entrance is based on your TABE test, NET test and a few other minor hoo...

Scrubmouse - Are you going to College of Lake County in Illinois? If so, small world, I took a micro-biology class there. Granted it was back in 1986, but I was there. :) Theresa

I am more of a Winter 09 start. We begin in early Jan. Where are you applying? Charlotte Technical College What is your GPA and/or points for your school of choice? no transferring in any credits. My GPA from college 10 years ago was 4.0, but none...
