  1. What do you think?

    It depends on what you want to do in nursing. In my area, LPN's are hired mostly for LTC and Dr's offices. If you are wanting to work in a hospital or have a specific specialty in mind, you'll need...
  2. I've been accepted...now what?

    No advice but wanted to say Congrats on your
  3. The Wait is Killing Me!

    The wait is killing me too! I finally broke down and called them this morning! I mailed in my application back on Dec. 21 and hadn't heard anything. The deadline was today, but I wasn't sure if we...
  4. Lunch?

    Dumb question, but for those already in nursing school, where do you eat lunch? In your car? In the campus cafeteria? With other students in the classroom? Also, do you bring your lunch from home?...
  5. Anyone applying for Navarro ADN Fall 2011?

    I read that here too and was freaked out! I bought the study guide and went over and over the reading section and pre-tests in it. I didn't do very well on the pre-tests in the study guide. When I...
  6. Anyone applying for Navarro ADN Fall 2011?

    Thanks! I did both and got the points. I forgot to include those in the original post. mgorvie-it's actually 2 separate items. You can register for chemistry and/or statistics anywhere you want to...
  7. Anyone applying for Navarro ADN Fall 2011?

    Thanks for the reply! How are you liking the LVN program? I've heard only good things about it. In fact, my nurse at my regular doctor's office graduated from Navarro in 2006 and highly recommended...
  8. LVN or ADN at TVCC or Navarro

    I attended the Nov. info session for the LVN program at Navarro. The deadlines are: Feb. 18 for the application request (you'll get this form at the info session) March 25 for the application...
  9. how far do you drive for school

    My school splits the program between their two campuses. The first year is done at one campus, which is an hour commute for me. The second year is done at another campus, which is 10 minutes from my...
  10. Summer hours?

    I've taken 6 hours in the summer and it's totally do-able. The classes are a lot more condensed than in the regular semesters, but you can do it! I took Micro, AP2 and Algebra at the same time last...
  11. I took the TEAS V in November and only studied from the manual. Most of the questions were like the practice tests from the book, some were not, but they were easier. Much, much easier. I wouldn't...
  12. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    I found Micro to be easy as well. My class was half online and half-lecture. We did all of our tests online and went into lab once a week. The final was identifying the unknown bacteria by running...
  13. Glad to hear it worked out for you!
  14. UT Arlington RN-BSN spring 2010

    Do you know if they require Chemistry as a pre-req
  15. UTA Rn to BSN program

    absolutely not! they have one of the highest reputations in the entire state and they have their programs down to an exact
  16. Day in the life of a new RN Nursing student?

    I have no idea, but my guess would be no. The school she attends strongly suggests that you do not work full-time your first year as a student. I know that's not feasible for some (or even most)...
  17. Career goals for the Nursing field?

    As far as what area of nursing I hope to be in, I really have no idea. I don't want to limit myself and say that I only want to work in pediatrics, when I may end up loving the ER during clinicals....
  18. I Was Accepted!

    Congrats on your
  19. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    This is what I'm scared of too! I've worked so hard for this for so long and now that it's almost here, I'm afraid something is going to happen to de-rail all my plans! I know the 2 years I'm in...
  20. ADN Fall 2011 Hopefuls!!!

    Spring Semester starts on Jan. 18, so I've got a little time to prepare. I'm taking Art, Sociology, Statistics and Spanish 1 this semester. This is my last semester at my local college (hopefully!)...
  21. grants/other financial aid 2011?

    Talk to your school's financial aid office. They should know of a lot of grants and scholarships that will come up that you can apply for. I am a student at a local community college and they have a...
  22. SCIT 1408, Summer II, El Centro College

    I took AP 2 (SCIT 1408 at Cedar Valley) and Micro at the same time, along with college algebra. Lots of work, but definitly do-able! Good
  23. Mailed my application today!

    Finally! After 3 years of waiting and preparing, I finished and mailed my nursing school application this morning. My school only does fall admission, based on TEAS scores and a points system. We...
  24. Should I even Apply

    I'd go ahead and apply. If you don't get in, re-take the lowest courses in the Fall. You'll have the time to do them again anyway. Good
  25. Day in the life of a new RN Nursing student?

    IrishGrrl-I wouldn't worry about having a kid (or two). I'm not a nursing student yet, but my cousin is about to graduate the ADN program that I'm applying to and she is graduating with a mom of 5...
