   If you are already taking your CNA class, I'd recommend getting a job as a CNA to improve your chances of getting in to UWO (although it's not necessary-I didn't have CNA experience and I got in). That and get some great letters of recommendation. ...

   sas818 replied to JCBJLT's topic in Wisconsin

   Everyone that didn't get in or was wait listed...keep your heads up! Most people don't get in on the 1st try. Don't give up and as people have mentioned, talk to Sue about increasing your chances for being accepted next time :)

   gaberdine, I didn't use the CD even though it came with my book. You can definitely find the pronunciations on the internet. You will eventually take an online test for med terms and it's multiple choice, no pronunciations. ejcl68, I don't think th...

   I actually don't think you need to take refresher courses, in my opinion. My chemistry and bio classes were VERY old and the TEAS is just their measure of how they think you will succeed in the program...it's not graded or required before you get ac...

   The 2 books have to be finished before orientation starts. They don't physically check them over in person, but you'll take tests for the first couple of classes on the material covered in the 2 books. You should probably stick with the ones on the...

   Rn, Good luck at boot camp! Any advice for the 1st three months of classes? We start Sept. 30th. I guess what I'm wondering is how many hours per day do you really have to put in...they have me scared that it will be 12 hrs everyday of the week! I'...

9. Going back to school for a nursing degree. Good idea?

   sas818 replied to Ted D's topic in General Nursing

   Don't give up because of your undergrad GPA. I just got accepted into an accelerated BS to BSN program, and my undergrad GPA was a 2.8. I just made sure to get A's on all of my pre-req classes, and life experience is huge. i never thought I would ...

10. BS Neurobiology to ADN

    sas818 replied to JTCafe's topic in Wisconsin

    Hi there, I was in the exact same situation as you- BS from Madison in Neurobiology and I work in research. I was told by many advisers to go for my BSN but have the ADN as a back up plan since it is difficult to get into nursing schools. I'm atten...

    rn2bn, This is a really dumb question but what kind of laptop does the program provide and do we get it at orientation or earlier? I am so excited to start and I'm sure I will have 10,000 more questions!
