I used to post in this forum awhile ago, then kinda took a break because there was just alot of waiting until I actually got into nursing school. Well, I finally got in and am starting this fall :) I don't feel quite right about posting in the studen...

Does this mean that you should go work at Outback? Please, some of these comments are so ridiculous. She has not expressed anything that indicates that she will have any problem with actual nursing. She also isn't trying to impose her attitudes on ot...

I'm very thankful for this thread. I have a long history of depression, but in the past few years have managed without meds. I'll be starting nursing school in the fall and I'm worried about what that will do to my depression. I'm relieved to know I'...

I can see both sides of it, but personally I would never be able to leave my child for that long a period of time. There are undoubtedly alot of "firsts" that you will miss out on that way. Like I said, I see the other side of it too, and I do think ...

I want to say that my chem class actually ended after the deadline. I can't remember exactly when the deadline was though, but my class should have ended around when yours is this year (with final grades being due a week later, and transcripts being...

I just got my letter today with information about the information/registration session that I will have to attend. It's in early April. I am sooo excited :) Anyone else around here waiting for the first tangible bit of nursing school?

LOL me too! I like to plan everything in advance, and it drives me crazy not really being able to do that yet.

I think there are alot of posts about this already, so you might want to try the search feature on the top right of each page. Also you will likely find more stuff about Shadyside specifically in the PA nursing programs board. Have you used any of th...

I already know that I'm in for fall, but I had applied previously to a couple other programs and had to wait for those... was ultimately denied for one because they never got my high school transcript on time (even though it was sent ::eye roll:: ) a...

I'm just curious about how common this is, and how difficult it is to have both A&P and nursing courses at the same time. I will be starting my nursing classes in the fall and will be taking A&P 1 then, and A&P 2 in the spring (and nothin...

Yikes... are those your only two options? I hate to say it, but they both sound kind've scary, though I'm not in nursing school yet so I can't comment on whether or not what you said about school 1 not telling clinical sites about the students is nor...

Well, thanks to this thread and all your replies, I've decided to try a little harder to get into A&P over the summer. At my CC where I will be taking my nursing classes, they have no open sections of A&P 1 and even if they did, I'd still hav...

No, unfortunately. There are no open spots in any of the A&P 1 classes this summer. I was thinking of taking Micro, but then I wouldn't be able to take one of the other co-reqs this summer that I would otherwise need to take in the fall, and I ca...

I'm gonna guess that that's how it's done in mine as well, since they aren't pre-reqs (but, like you said with your program, alot of people do finish them early to get them out of the way.) Thanks for your reply :)

i will have to keep that in mind, thanks!

Thank you so much, it's great to hear from someone who's done it! I don't really have an option at this point, unless I were to delay starting my actual nursing classes but in my mind that's not an option at all!

Just out of curiosity, is the organic chem you take for your nursing program the same as what a chemistry major would take, or is it tailored specifically for nursing/allied health?

I am! I've known for a few weeks that I was accepted, but just today actually heard from someone at the school that they got my confirmation that I sent back in, so it feels "official". She also told me that in about two weeks I will be getting a pac...

That happens to me all the time, and I feel the same way. Just today we got back a quiz in my Genetics class, and I was walking behind two of my classmates on the way to our next class. One didn't get his test back yet, and the other was going on abo...

::good luck vibes!::

Good luck to you! :)

That stinks January will be here before you know it, though.

Oh wow, how do you know so far in advance? I'm just curious.

LOL I hope it's not "what did I get myself into!?" posts. I actually applied to a hospital program that was just like what you said, you could get a diploma and an associate's in allied health at the same time.

I'm currently enrolled at a university where one of my classes is an introductory programming course. In the fall I will be going to a community college to get my associate's in nursing, and after I plan on working and getting my BSN online through t...
