I got my acceptance to the University of Alabam Huntsville today. Just looking for other classmates.

Just a heads up about Simmons for those of you considering it. I applied and was accepted. For the price you pay for tuition, they put a large amount of emphasis on research, lit reviews, writing papers and so forth. I ended up switching to a local b...

I have been a RN for a little over a year and my first job was at a state VA home as a RN, so my experience is a mixture of mgmt and med-surg. I was hired to work in a small 15 bed ED and 10 bed observation unit. I start my first shift in the ER on F...

Day shift is about 17.85 and nights is around 20.85 for both hospitals

I was in a group that volunteered for night clinicals because I work full time and I hate wasting a saturday when I can just be exhausted through the week and get it done.

Clinical rotations vary, I've always been at HH and I've got to North Alabama Regional & Decatur General West for Psych. You don't really have any say on the day/time/location of your clinicals and for the most part, they tend to not be very acco...

You take the HESI at the end of every semester and it tests you on what you learned that semester and becomes cumulative. The teachers do not make this test, so there really is no way of knowing just what will be on it. Each semester, the amount it c...

You pay a testing fee per semester and it's around $100 that financial aid doesn't cover and you have to pay for youself.

I was looking for places I could try out a scope from and I found this on the Littmann site: For a limited time, you can take a 14-day "test drive" of our new Model 3100 stethoscope, for free. At the end of 14 days, we can assist you in finding ...

I need some input from the flat footed folks. I don't have a lot of padding on the bottom of my feet and the bottoms of my feet often burn when I've been on them for awhile. Any hints or suggestion?

Is everyone getting excited??

Better learn to love those pants!

You will take 102 in the Spring and you will reuse the Fundamentals of Nursing book & add in Linton's Med-Surg book. Both books are in the bundle. If you have the list of text books, you can go ahead & price them out on your own. Chegg.com is...

Here I am! At orientation, someone will talk to you about the books. They actually come as a bundle where you can get paperback books or e-books. I got paperback. The set of books is actually designed for the FT students and contains books for 102, 1...

Did you get into the Daytime or Evening Program?? Congrats on your acceptance. It is overwhelming & you will feel like cattle being herded through gates the first semester, but hang in there.

I'm paying about $225 biweekly for family medical insurance.

I was denied into the day program in 2009 with 153 points, the cut-off was 154. When I got in last year, I had 198 points, so I knew I was good. My 2009 application was without Micro. naijausa~ You still have a chance, dont count yourself out yet!

I applied for both Full time Day & Part Time Evening. I was selected for both and then I had to mail back a letter letting them know which spot I wanted, so they could offer the free spot to the next student on the list.

Thanks! I've learned a lot here and I was grateful for everyone that shared info with me ahead of time. It didn't make the wait any easier, but it helped pass the time!

I had 2 A's and a B going into the Evening program, but that was before the TEAS testing. I'd say you have a good chance of getting in!!

If you are in the PT Evening, you will do Health Assessment & Pharmacology the first semester. It's fairly straight forward. 2nd semester, you will do fundamentals and that's where the care planning & stuff starts to come in. I made an A in P...

Megreen~ Every thing you wrote down is correct. I would take the Math if you need it & hold off on Stats. I haven't taken that yet, it's only a req if you want your BSN. 1) You will wear the blue uniform to school, even though you don't have clin...

If you see the pencil by my name, you can send me a PM. Just click on that :)

I'm getting ready to start my third semester in the Part Time Program. I love it, but you have to be dedicated. Those of use evening students do score higher on tests than the day time students. Lectures are taped from the daytime & posted for us...

The cutoff changes every year depending on the caliber of students that apply. The first year I applied for the FT ADN program, I missed the cutoff my 1 point. The following year, I applied for the PT evening program which is more competitive and mad...
