I just registered for technical writing and holistic care of the older adult. I hope it isn't too much. I will also be at work full time. Maybe I will see some of you online!

I loved this!

I came home today and cried my eyes out because of this same problem. You are not alone. I know that I am smart and capable and I think that I can do this. But, this test **** is getting old. And its KILLING my spirit to stay in nursing school. Furthermore, I hear other girls talking about their test grades and not studying and passing with flying colors. So, my point is, you're not alone. We suck at tests, it is what it is. We WILL hopefully move the eff on and learn how to get past this.

Thanks everyone :)

First of all, thank you to everyone that has ever posted on this website. I have come here for many questions in the past. So thank you everyone for such amazing advice. After waiting for three days I finally got the envelope in the mail yesterday! My husband is currently deployed, and I wish he was there, but I wanted until he called. Together we opened it, and I was astounded to see my acceptance letter. I have busted my butt for two years to get in and have dreamed of this! I waited to get all my core classes done, so all I have are the ADN classes and I'll continue to work on my core class for my BSN until the program starts in November. I am happy to say I am the first of five brothers, three sisters and two sets of grandparents to attend college. So this really means a lot to me. So does anyone have any advice for what to expect over these next two years? I'm really anxious, and our orientation isn't until June! Again, thank you to everyone that has taken the time to write back on posts on this forum.

I'm taking Anatomy 2 right now, and took anatomy 1 last semester. My secret is here... Its called quizlet, and its amazing. Me and a bunch of other kids make these cards together off this site and quiz eachother on them. We even found a group from last summer that was in our same anatomy 2 class (same teacher and all) and we did AWESOME on our last two tests because we study them a couple weeks before the test. the best part about it is its free!

hello! this is my first post here. i've been lurking for a while now and i have to say that this forum is the best thing since legos. i'll attempt to make this short and sweet. i currently work at a dme clinic (dme=durable medical equip. bipaps,cpaps,02) and i'm making enough money there to put me through school. but too much money to get any grants. i'm taking pre req's to apply for the rn program. ideally i'd like to get into or or somewhere in the er.many people have told me that if and when i get accepted into the program (i'm attending spc) then i can't work a full 9-5 job. its damn near impossible. so...in attept to find out any information possible i started to volunteer in the er every week at a local hospital (owned by baycare.) this thursday one of the nurses stopped by the desk to say good night and i seized the opportunity to ask how to go about getting into the earn as you learn program for baycare. she informed me that i should attempt to go ahead and get a job with baycare asap, and that i should try to for a cna. so i went online and there's like a million places to go to get a cna. and i'm really confused on what school to pick. are there hidden costs i don't know about? i mean they really go from one extreme to the next! ptech is a 3 month program for a thousand bucks. and that's m-thursday! i found another program that's just one day! its $899! is this legit? i don't know where to start? online courses, 2 day programs, weekend programs. ahhhh! where do i start? i'd also like to know about how much cnas make in my area? i wonder if i would be able to still afford my school? i mean i should qualify for grants...but what if i don't? i'm so confused. and no one in my whole family has ever gone to college. my mom didn't make it past middle school! and the counselors at school are about as much help as my pet rock! it's really all a mess. i'd have to take classes after 5 or on the weekends for the cna thing. i work 9-5 and in jan i go back to school part time in the evenings.spc doesn't have a can program. ahhh! and she mentioned something else other than a cna that you advance up to, but i really don't remember what she said. i'm really anxious to get all my ducks in a row in attempt to do anything i can to get into earn as you learn. sorry guys. it feels good to vent though. i'd like to get as much advice as possible about this because there are so many directions i could go i feel like i need to find the best route possible. *deep breath* any advice?
