Hey everyone, I just found out I passed! Woo hoo! :balloons: My test stopped at 75 questions and as soon as I got to my car I started crying. I was SO sure I had failed. I made not only myself but my fiance miserable for the past 72 hours. My advice...

Congrats! :balloons: It sounds like you did great and I am sure you will get great news in a couple of days! :)

Hey Jillnurse2be, Just want to say good luck and I know you will do great! It sounds like you have really prepared. Let us know how it goes!

Well I used Kaplan and I just took my exam this AM. It shut off at 75 and I feel like I failed for sure. It was really hard and I had numersou select all that apply. I cried all the way home from the testing center. That said here were my Kaplan scor...

LOL! I hope I did not offend anyone... the vagina itself was not giant, but the TV screen was. It was just not what I expected to see when I looked up at that moment. I am sure it is just one of many I will see in the near future.

Here is what I wrote to a friend who asked me the same question... Well I have mixed feelings about the first week... lol! The teachers and all my classmates are SO nice and supportive. You can tell the teachers really want you to succeed and are n...

Hi danbranham, devi, and all other Aug. 15th starters! I hope you have a great first day of classes! My first day is tomorrow, the 16th and I am so excited to get the show on the road! We received our schedule about two weeks ago as well as our ...

I'm taking Nursing 101 and 102 which is interesting... Nurs 101 is about 8.5 weeks and then 102 is 8.5 weeks, so two classes in one semester. So if we don't pass 101, we don't go on to 102. Is anyone else set up like this?? :uhoh21: I had my orie...

Hi there! I know of a few schools without waitlists, and I am pretty sure there are more in the SF Bay Area. Ohlone (where I am starting in the Fall, yeah!) does not have a wait list. Also Evergreen Valley College does not have a waitlist. I know ...

Hi everyone! I am getting so excited. I start Aug. 16th! Oregonrene, how scary to get a positive test but I am glad to hear that the chest x-ray was negative. :) Rayofsunshine, my bf just surpised me by buying me a Littman Classic the other day. I ...

Hi Sunnyjohn, I applied to seven schools and got into 4 of them, so for me overkill was well worth it! :)

Hello! I'd like to join in on these threads! :) Well I came across nursing in a somewhat roundabout way. Growing up I was always interested in medicine. My parents even bought me the Fisher Price med kit and I would go around giving everyone sho...

Hey fellow future RN's! I start this year as well! Aug. 15th is my start date and it is an ADN program. I don't have orientation until Aug. 11th, but they have already sent us A LOT of information. They actually put the student nurse handbook an...

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I can only imagine how tough it must be for you. I also live in the Bay Area, specifically the south bay. I work for a local nonprofit and want to recommend a local agency that you can call: Inn Visio...

Wow! Compared to others it seems like I have more hours of school/clinical. I have registered for my 1st semester of an ADN program and it is set up like this: Monday - no class Tuesday - 9AM - 2:30 - (I assume this is lecture and some lab skills p...

Hi there, It was not a problem for me when I took pre-req classes as a 2nd degree pre-nursing student and it was at the same school I received my first degree. I only took out a few thousands dollars in loans but had much more than that available to...

So I am set to start an ADN program in the Fall (yeah!) and I currently work full-time. I gave my work notice a few weeks ago that I would be leaving to go to school. I have been here a little over four years and it was really tough! So my plan has...

Hi RN2BE, I don't know this exact answer to your question but I had this 4th quarter warning reiterated to me this weeked. I happened to meet a former nursing instructor from a local junior college in my CPR class this weekend. I asked her about wo...

Thank you for your responses, I appreciate the advice! I especially like the suggestion to use the $$ to get a maid! ;-) It is a tough decision and I am still not sure what would be best. I really want to do well in school and not sure if the full...

Darn! For a second I thought you might be going to Ohlone because we start Aug. 15th as well! I am so happy for you - you finally made it! I still cannot believe it, but I got in on my 1st try and can only thank my lucky starts for that one. I ...

I got into my #1 choice ADN program at Ohlone College for Fall 05!!! I was #3 on the alternate list (it was a lottery) and found out days later I got a spot! To anyone on a wait list, don't give up hope! I cannot wait for school to start, but I am ...

Hi Suzy38, Congratulations on choosing a career in nursing! I see you are in California... if you are in the SF Bay Area and need any information on local schools just let me know. I have a ton of information! Best wishes and good luck!

I have no doubt you can do it! Trust me, if you really want it, that is all you need. You will do whatever it takes to reach your goals. It may be a long and often frustrating road, but you will reach your goals. :) Best wishes and good luck!

Hey guys... I did not respond to this post because I did not think I have that much to offer but since there is not much else, here is the info I do have. My friend from school applied to the FNP ELMSM program this year and was denied. She had very ...

for what it's worth... I was volunteering in a hospital when I decided to become a nurse. I was in a graduate program in nutrition science and wanted to get a better idea of what clinical dieticians do. Instead I discovered my true passion in life ...
