Do you CBE?? That may help?

Good pop-up = pass!! Congrats!

How about summer camps??? Many are always looking for nurse help! Just a thought! Have a wonderful trip! Sounds very exciting!

Patti_RN, Congrats that's awesome news!! Believe it or not, I just completed everything yesterday. About how long did it take from completed app to acceptance? Again, congrats! That's so exciting!!

YAY!! Congrats!

Congrats ans0014, that's great news!!

For those of you who have applied/accepted, what was your GPA (I'm not being rude, just asking if I have a shot with a 3.2). I'm not sure if it's worth the time/money for application if I have no chance.

Patti_RN, when will you be starting? Will you be in the March class? I recently applied and am waiting to hear on them. How long did it take to hear back from them with a decision?? I'm wondering what will happen since I didn't take the GRE's or shadow a FNP. I'm keeping my fingers crossed b/c I'd really love to get into this program! ETA: Nerdy Nikki ... what was your class cohorts like grade wise? Did everyone have over 3.7? I read somewhere that all excepted students basically have over a 3.7 and if you had anything less than a 3.5 don't bother applying. Patti_RN - did you find this to be true?

So Bariq - how'd it go?? Are you loving where you work now?? I'm hoping that you like it and that there are no negatives about the facility itself.

WOW, I haven't even gotten off the first page and have tears in my eyes. Thank you to all you wonderful teachers, nurses, preceptors, and those who have BTDT. I cannot wait for an amazing experience like the ones I'm reading. I have an interview to be a NICU tech, and while I"m nervous, I'm totally excited about the idea. Thanks for making the day seem even more amazing! Please keep it up, us nursing students need more enthusiastic "teaching" mentors!

I cannot believe how quick this first nursing semester passed by! I am a part time student and just completed my first two nursing classes!! I am so excited! Honestly, I wish I would have done better grade wise, but I am just ahppy that I passed. Sadly, we lost quite a few people from my class ... but I keep telling myself that I can get through this and will graduate in 2011. If it goes as fast as this semester did, it'll be here in the blink of an eye!

I think once you have your mind set n stone that this is truly what you want, no matter how hard it seems, you just keep pushing forward to make it a reality. I too have 3 under 5 and boy are there times when I am exhausted ... physically and mentally. Make sure your hubby is on board and is willing to take on a little more around the house. Also, line yourself up with 2 great, reliable babysitters. Once that's all in place, only little road bumps will get in your way. Best of luck to you - you can do this!

I am starting NS as well this summer! I start 5/18/09 and graduate 8/2011. It will be a long road, but one I'm ready for! Good luck to you guys!

WTG! What an accomplished person you are! Congratulations on your dream job! It's not gloating when you worked your butt off for it! Reap the benefits, and enjoy your dreams!

AMEN! It's so nice to see others who believe in HIM. I'm happy to hear that you're problems are better now. Keep trust within the Lord, and He will work miracles through you.
