I also start in August in the same program as the above poster. I work full-time right now as a surgical tech. And I also am a single mother of a toddler. So I'm not sure if I am going to just go back to working part-time hours while in school or ...
I was just accepted into the Online program at PTEC and was wondering how difficult you think the program is? How much time do you find that you have to study outside of the classroom? Do you get to review patient's charts the night before clinical...

Nice! I only have Anatomy and Physiology done so far besides the basic classes like Computer Literacy, Psych, Statistics and Composition. I'm definitely up for a study partner. Especially with someone who has kids as well and understands how dema...

I am going crazy waiting to hear something. I e-mailed Chris tonight. Hopefully I'll get some good news back tomorrow that someone didn't pay their $100 deposit (it's due tomorrow, right?) or that someone is not going to continue with the program.....

Yes and if things don't work out with getting into a nursing program, I will probably finish my degree in Psychology. If things do work out with nursing, I would really like to be a R.N. in a psych hospital or unit. That's my ultimate goal.
thanks for all the replies. now as a pre-nursing student, i really would like to work in a psych unit, L&D or OR (i'm already a surgical tech). i was just interested in what everyone else chose after going through all the different clinic rotat...

I didn't get a chance to e-mail her yet today. I will though. You should get the study guide for the TEAS exam from the ATI site. It was pretty helpful.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed but still thinking about other options just in case it doesn't work out that way... Did you decide if you are going to apply for the day class?
reinvent replied to onefrndlyghst's topic in Florida
I really hope so! My son is 1 1/2. Do you have any kids? Hopefully I'll meet you in August if things work out in my favor... But we'll see. Are you going to bridge to RN after? Have you already taken your pre-requisites?

She said in her e-mail that I was the accepted as the first alternate so I'm assuming so. Now that just kills me, because why couldn't it have been a 25 student class instead of 24! And if I'm so close and yet still nobody ends up dropping and I ha...

flg8r36, I can't send private messages until I have made 15 posts apparently. I can't apply for the day program because I can't leave my job right now as a single parent. It's good money and I'm in the process of moving out of my parent's into my o...
