Very Funny ! I am only a student...but expected to graduate in December 2011 and I already understand the emotions toward the call lights, lol.

I most certainly can relate. I had a tough upbringing in an alchoholic household. I always had a big heart but I strayed off hanging with my local neighborhood friends who were up to no good. I had my 1st son at 18 and my 2nd at 21 and had a 10yr tur...

LMAO you are HILARIOUS . I think God wants you to have fun this Summer too. But I think honesty is best. Maybe your honesty will work in your favor if a position opens.

Hi all, I wanted to see if anyone here applied to Roxbury Community College's Jan 2010 Nursing Program? I applied back in October and am awaiting a decision. Just wanted to see if letters had begun to be dispersed.:redbeathe

So here's my . I think you have a good chance in getting in based on your scores. I did not do so hot in science or math either. But your math is pretty good. They also look at pre-req's as well, because once in the program it can be difficult to sim...

Funny, funny story. I am a new student and I am very familiar with the anxiety and pretending to be working on something while in clinicals so that my instructor leaves me alone hahaha. I hope to someday to be able to look back and say "what a ride".

Good afternoon, I am not too sure I understand you correctly. To become an RN, even at the associate level, it requires a profound understanding of the human body and it's functions. So someone who obtains their license by passing the NCLEX deserves ...

Great! Well Good Luck. Yesterday was our first day. 3hr lecture and loads of reading to do. Breathe breathe is all I can do to stay calm, oh and read, read. LOL:clown:

Are yo starting with us tonight? 1/12?

:heartbeatSo I was accepted into a program, starting 1/12/2010. I am relieved, excited and very NERVOUS. What can I expect? Do any of you have any suggestions on what things I should do in order to excel. I was never the A student and received my GED...

Thanks to everyone who put in there :twocents:. I really appreciate it and will utilize all of your suggestions. I really would like to do well. I know that it will be a challenge and that there will be some ups and downs. But I am READY. Ready to le...

Thanks for the advice. I am a nervous nelly because I want to do well. So I can see that this trait will prove benificial to me in the long run while in school. I am so very interested in health. I actually work in a cardiac unit and have so for 5yrs...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I also was just accepted. I def cried-felt like I won the lotto. Now I am just nervous,excited..many emotions all rolled into one. May the next few years be full of excitement.:redbeathe

Christina, you really should try to stay with the program for "Jan 2010". You do not want to miss this opportunity. I know how hard it can be. I have two sons as well, ages 8 and 10. I am re-arranging my work sched and taking them out of their after ...

thanks! and good luck to you:up: i know all too well about the anxious wait. i would go home every day and check the mail..like a crazed lunatic. i am sure you will hear something very soon. the actually phoned me though and informed me, then stated...

Hey Christina...guess what . I Got in . So we shall be seeing eachother in Jan. I will make sure to introduce myself.

Hopefully we will see eachother January 2010:D What is your name btw..that way I will remember you if we both should get in.

Awesome, congratulations. I am too nervous to call them. I would rather find out by letter so that I could cry in private should I not get accepted . Well I hope I get my letter soon, so that I can either a) be exstatic and join you in classes:yeah:o...

I also suggest the ATI study manual. I also took the TEAS a few weeks ago. I had a huge study book and it was quite overwhelming. The exam is created by ATI, so I feel that their study manual is more accurate and hopefully less overwhelming. The Read...

Thank you for sharing your touching story! You are a very strong women and I am very happy that you will be one of our future nurses.

I am having palpitations just thinking of taking the TEAS-knowing that my admission is riding on this test. I went to my local library and picked up a 2008 Peterson's nursing school and allied heath exam. I believe this book would cover both the C-N...

LOL....my appologies. I noticed afterwards that your quote was attatched on previous blogs. I jumped the gun.

Drama is not what I am seeking nor do I have my "drama spoon" in the pot. It just really disturbs me that someone can be that closed minded.

Firstly I do not want to reply to your post on a negative note but it is realy had not to. I believe that your choice of words "ignorant stupid patients" speaks for itself. I am sure patients can be very very challenging but if your in nursing and do...

Hi I work at the MGH in Boston and I know that we offer a fast track program to people with their BSN. This program actually would provide a Masters in nursing (NP-nurse practitioner). There are many things available to you since you already hold a B...
