I have no experience and I'm doing better than some that have more experience and/or schooling in some classes. When it comes to clinicals next quarter, I can tell you if the same holds true. In Intro to Health though, we are doing medical skills a...

We have to have short hair or pulled up hair. Short hair is faster to fix, but requires more work in my experience. That is of course if you actually blow dry it and fix it up. I'm growing mine out and I figured out that if I comb it up in a clip ...

I start class today. I took one quarter off. The quarter before I was in the surgical tech program but still had a few classes to take and several quarters before they started the next program. So, I took one class that quarter, medical terminolog...

Thanks. My head is going to explode. I had a book to read in one class tonight, plus 3 assignments. I have to learn some formulas for drug calculation practically overnight. I have 3 chapters to read tonight in A&P, plus multiple message board...

Oh, yeah, then the scores are high enough for your school, but you are right, that doesn't mean you are in. You have to complete the application and then the slots are filled up however you college does it. At ours, it goes by test scores (NET and ...

dark_light is right. The school should tell you what scores are acceptable for the program. Mine tells you immediately after taking it if you scored high enough. After that, you go straight to admissions and get your application packet or get plac...

They do a special capping ceremony midway through. It is a very big thing supposedly. I'm not excited actually, lol.

for classes we have navy blue and khaki scrubs with tennis shoes, crocks, nursing shoes, etc. for clinicals we have a striped scrub top, white pants, nursing shoes only, and a watch with a second hand. Half way through, we have to start wearing our ...

After seeing other responses, I felt that I should add that I took the last part of the NET, I believe. They called it an aptitude test.

i'm just curious on your opinion on that. i feel like i aced my interview since i got smiles from the ladies interviewing me and they told me that was a good response and that was my answer to that question. i told them in a failing economy, i want...

The one we had to take asked which response was best in each situation. It said that you may not agree with any answers, but still pick the best one. It was really easy. I didn't have to take the math or anything because you can exempt that part a...

1. Why did you choose to be a nurse? With the way the economy is, I needed a career that I know there is a future in. I also wanted a career that I could further my education in. 2.What school did you attend and why? I'm attending a technical colleg...

My advice would be to try studying a different way. I'm not sure what approach you are using now.

We had to have a lot of stuff done for the application that was really expensive and if not, we didn't get to interview or get accepted. I don't think that part was rude or obnoxious. If they cannot count on you to get your paperwork in on time, wh...

To get into the program? I was told to sit at the front of the classroom and I had two of the nursing instructors interview me. I usually stumble through interviews, but I really wanted this and did just find. I was asked why I chose nursing and am...

I'm not sure about your state, but I do know that if you find a cheap enough school and your income is right, you can go for relatively free using grants and scholarships. What they don't tell you is the cost of health and dental exams, vaccinations...

Well, at our school, our first quarter involves core and health science classes. The second quarter involves nursing fundamentals and the health science classes we haven't taken yet. There are some prereqs for a couple of the health science courses...

If your program is accredited, don't sweat it. I know in my state, the nursing programs have to have an 80% pass rate on the NCLEX. So if the school wasn't teaching what it is suppose to teach, then it would lose its accreditation. I would assume ...

Honestly, the percentage that make it to the end isn't incredibly huge, so ignore it the best you can and do your best to pass. Before you know it, the ones who aren't paying attention aren't there and you are getting your diploma.

I don't think that you can do LPN school online due to the amount of clinic hours required by the state. I don't personally know of an evening program, but I know that clinical hours can change due to hospital demands. You could see evening hours an...

Those of you in the 11 month and under programs, does that include your core classes and other non-nursing classes? I have heard that some schools require those to be completed before starting the program and that would significantly shorten the amo...

I have 2 children at home and a husband who works odd hours. Daycare is going to be impossible if his shift does not change, but we are going to figure out a way to make it work. We have to. Why? I am determined to start my career after being at ...

A 100-90 B 89-80 C 79-70 D 69-60 F 59-0 Really, it does not matter what D and F are because we have to pass with a C or higher in all of our courses, even core.

Ours is 5-6 quarters long depending on if you do core the first quarter with allied health classes or if you do core then allied health classes. There are obviously 4 quarters per year, so ours is 15-18 months long. There are not any shorter ones a...

I start September 30. :)
