My community college is starting an ADN with a local hospital. The hospital formerly had a diploma program but this year have discontinued it in favor of the ADN. The problem is that, being a new program, they aren't accredited yet. You have to sign ...

Update: I spoke to an RN-BSN program in the state and they allege that this will be fine.

I failed precalculus. Completely. I knew around the final drop date that I was nearly doomed, but I'm on the GI Bill and if I drop a class at my school, the government would charge me about $2k that I do not have. So, I doubled up on tutoring (even p...

I want to be a CRNA. I'm not an RN at this time. I start schooling to become an RN in the fall. I have a 3.7 GPA (30+ credits) and I'm 28 years old. I do not have a previous bachelors degree, but I do have 6 years military experience. Becoming a nurs...

I am officially starting at the Jefferson College of Health Sciences this fall.

That was the question, yes, but it implied a lot more - as we can all see from how the thread evolved. I guess my point is, just because a program is harder to get into or more competitive, it absolutely doesn't make the program or school better - ju...

I disagree completely. I'm applying to one of these programs because I can start this summer or fall instead of having to wait to even apply till April 2011 for a class seat in Fall 2011 only to be in school for yet another 3 years. I have a 3.7 GPA ...

I think in regards to schools like the one I'm sort of pinning my hopes on access in general is easier. It's not solely based on "if you can pay, you're in," but that sort of is what feeds them. It's "easier" to get into because of the rolling admiss...

I have applied to a local(ish) private, for profit, accredited school. Jefferson College of Health Sciences. Of the schools in my area they are the only ones with a rolling admission (spring/summer/fall) and they specialize in health sciences. I do ...

Apply anyway. The worst that can happen is rejection - but you can't even get THAT if you don't try. Do not fear it. Are there any other schools you can apply to in the area, at all? I'm currently considering a school 45 minutes away, in addition to ...

I am unapologetic about good grades. I earned them. If they didn't - that's their fault/problem! OF COURSE I don't go about rubbing it in or being a jerk. I constantly offer study groups and assistance, I give out my email and phone number, facebook,...

Congratulations!!!! And GOOD LUCK!!! I'm currently putting the finishing touches on my application and I'm already so nervous. Things like this really just make us feel so inferior even if we shouldn't, don't they? I have no current degree but I've b...

I am attempting to write a personal statement for BOTH entrance to a school as well as their nursing program (it's all one app there's no seperate nursing app). I've googled and googled and received numerous examples but I'm still not 100% sure exact...

Ok, I'm pretty sure I've got this where I want it. I just want to thank you again UVA for your insight. Like I said, I was just worried it would start reading like "oh poor me and my tragic life" but I think I've managed to write it more how i see i...

Thanks so much for your reply. The problem is this school isn't asking any specific question. It simply says "A personal statement or letter of intent" is recommended. I see what you're saying though. It should be relevant to the major probably more...

Does anyone else get a little discouraged when half the students in your class are working on prereqs for nursing? Summer classes started and mine are all online, so it's largely discussion board based and you have to post your little biographies etc...

That's pretty disgusting. I think a lot of people have it in their heads that somehow nursing is going to be "easy money." Do they watch too many WW2 movies? You know, the ones that romaticize girls becoming nurses just until they find a man to marr...

Are those the only two choices? You may want to apply to more. I'm in a similar situation. There is only one school where I will live with a nursing program as of December. I have to hope I get in, or it's a short wait list, or plan on doing a differ...

See a different advisor. I go to AWC in Yuma and I haven't had any such problems. Some of this probably has to do with being a first year student. I highly suggest talking to another advisor for sure. Maybe sign up for some of the classes online thr...

I actually had a similar experience during the spring. I was taking my psychology class online, so I was sitting on the couch taking a full on chapter test. Of course, they're timed so I was in full concentration. My husband had a habit of coming in...

I'm not insecure about it. My grades are great. It's more like what RADIATIONRN2BE described. And, the sheer number. As others have said, plenty can change their minds and any number of us could too. It's just shocking the number of students stating ...

Whew. I'm glad it's not just me. Now I don't feel quite like such a jerk. I guess the other pre-req'ers in my classes probably feel the same way I do too. Lucky for me I'm stubborn when I know something is right, and I've never been so sure of anythi...

I will be 31 by the time i'm finished with school and hold a BSN (provided all goes according to plan, of course!) The way I see it, I'll be 31 in 3 years no matter what. Either I'll be 31 embarking on my career in Nursing wielding a license or, I'll...

I failed English 102 in 2007 because I ceased showing up to class due to various life interferences. It was my mistake for not dropping for a W that semester (like i did with my other classes). Every other grade I've received is an A (except for 1 C ...

Right now during prereqs i work full time with a decent salary and take online or night classes. I pay for this myself at the community college where, at least in Arizona, it's pretty cheap. Next Spring (i hope, if not fall) when I go to a different ...
