Well they are cutting the program in Fall 2014 by 10 spots. She said the job market just wasn't there anymore for them to be accepting 50 students a semester. They also changed the points scale for admission. I decided last minute to also apply to t...

Totally understandable. I do pretty good with the online classes but I was also told that it was pretty hard and that makes me nervous. I would also hate to fail when I could have maybe done fine in the traditional classes. It is only 2 years and fro...

Sarah- Have you considered doing the hybrid option that pairs the online learning with in class skills/clinical? I am applying at MCC for the Fall 2014 semester and I will only be able to attend if I get into the hybrid class (I also live 1 hour away...

Hey guys it's mimi- I'm totally addicted to the nursing student vids! I love listening to nursing students talking about their expiriences! I would really recommend them to everyone here. hannahdemarco does awsome vids entitled "confessions of a nurs...

Okay so for anyone who hasn't noticed, I'm big on the for fun threads. Today a co worker and myself were talking to some new hires and starting cracking up at our own "commandments". Of course the new hires thought we were crazy, but hey they'll see...

Oh, and I am so glad our advisor is also the clinical instructor! She seemed really nice.

Ughh, I hated my CNA course to. I also have lab on tuesday, and lecture MW at 8:00. I am meeting WIA next week, but just on the off chance I don't qualify I went ahead and bought some of the stuff I thought I would need. I'm definately nervous but I'...

I have decided that I HATE the muscular system! And I also hate my A&P Lab teacher. She is such an ogre. Adding to the stress is the fact that I start nursing school in January...but only if I pass A&P with a C or better. WHich wouldn't be so...

Rub one of those alchohol wipes under your nose to help with the smell. The sight thing just gets easier with time. Good Luck

How far into the ADN are you?

Hey DRA have you met with an advisor to schedule your classes yet? I go on the 26th and I'm trying to figure out which scedule is going to work best for me. I got my uniforms and just have to get my drug test and my documents will be ready to turn in...

Whenever I answer the phone where I work the most I can say to someone enquiring about open positions is to come apply. Our facility has that system in place for all employees so you wouldn't get far if you cold called us. I think applying in person ...

I had my histology test yesterday and it was confusing. I went to the lab and spent hours looking at the slides and I still had trouble identifying some of them. Oh well, I know I got all the general histology q's right! LOL

If you have an iphone or itouch there is a great app called SpeedBones. It's really helpful

you poor unfortunate soul...LOL. I know how you feel. My schedule sucks this semster!!

I have a high A average with I'm happy with. I took my 2nd Lab test yesterday over histology. 39 microscopes with different tissue slides, plus 41 general knowledge questions. UGHHHHH

For my itouch I LOVE speed bones! It's fun and it really drills in the bones for you.

Good Luck! I hope it means you got in!!!! Keep us posted.

We had a resident with confirmed TB and only had 3 masks that were approved for that kind of filtration. The facility actually comanded us to share the masks and to bring them out in the hallway so that we could have acsess to them! ***! I refused an...

We have 2 outside vendors we can buy ours from. I got 2 tops, 2 pants, a labcoat, 2 penlights, bandage scissors, 3 patches, and 2 name tage for $121. Not to bad, but ughhh the all white thing doesnt look good!

A points system is a very "cut and dry" way of selecting who gets in to a particular nursing school. I was admitted based on a points system. We were ranked according to GPA, NLN or ACT test scores, 5 bonus pts if you had completed more than 12 hours...

I gave myself about 4 months. Sometimes transcripts and such get "misplaced" or there's a huge fee to have them sent . You never know what could happen. If all your records are in 1 to 2 towns I'd say 3 months. Longer if they are out of state or acro...

Well I got in. Start in January!

Hi Michelle. Good Luck in all your classes! I started taking pre reqs last fall and feel like I've been in school forever, but now I'm 3 months away from starting nursing school! I'm in anatomy right now. I have a lot of notes if you're interested! C...

Took me a month. It's a really hard job to get used to so just hang in there, and do your best. Anytime you are feeling inadequate next to your coworkers just remember they were new at one point to, and weren't always so fast.
