I graduated in May with my ADN. I've already taken my NCLEX, so officially a RN. I have a year of experience as a LVN in LTC, where I am currently working one shift a week as a RN. I have applied to 20 or more RN positions and have gotten 3-4 rejection emails so far. I feel your frustration.

Thank you so much for the advice!

Thank you very much!

Thank you, I found it! Is the study guide all of those or just the ones that have study guide in the title? Sorry so many questions.
-
@Florida - I am trying to find the study guide you're talking about on your page but I am not sure where to look exactly.

All I can say is - pay attention, don't mess around in class, don't miss class, use flashcards for anything you feel you don't have a grasp on, and read through your notes. If your instructor records their lectures then listening to them again is always a plus. Also, just try not to fall behind in the class because that can happen. If you're truly determined and want this then you can absolutely do it! Just stay focused and you will survive. I was very nervous when I went into A&P I because it was made out to be so 'intimidating' and I also have 2 small kids who I was at home full-time with when I wasn't at school. I know if I can do it then you can! I am now going into A&P II this Fall. Yay for us! :)

I am taking A&P II, General Psych, and I am enrolled in a CNA course during the middle of it. I will finally be able to apply in the Spring for the nursing program to start in the Summer. I am excited but a little nervous and so ready to get it over with! Good luck everyone. :)

My classes start back next Monday. I am pretty excited but nervous! I am ready to get it all over with. I am taking A&P II, General Psych, and I am enrolled in a CNA program during the middle of it all. Ugh! I am ready for it. Woo!

Congratulations on doing well! I have to take my exam soon but not exactly sure when since my school just informed me that they put in for approval on adding the HESI pre-entrance exam to the program. I am almost positive it will be approved since pretty much all of the nursing programs I have looked at require it so I am just going to start studying now. I am just worried since you have to wait 60 days between each time you take and they won't know if they have it approved until the middle of September sometime so it doesn't leave too much room to study, take, and retake if you have to before applications in January. I am not even sure what sections they will require so fingers crossed that I will do well whenever I take it.

I started back in Spring 2010 after being out of school for awhile. I was very nervous also but it felt so nice being back in a classroom setting. I start my fall semester next Monday and I will be taking my last 2 pre-reqs to be able to apply for the program in January and I am crazy excited! It feels great. You're doing great! :)

I start my pharmacology class July 12th for the Summer II semester. Is there any advice you can give me? It is an internet course. I should add that I am taking this as a pre-req and not in a nursing program.

So, Ms.Hopeful, how did you do on your final?
-
Well, I am sort of in the same boat as you, but my daughter will turn one in December. I plan on going back to school in Spring 2010 to start on my pre-reqs for nursing school. I have been a stay at home mommy this whole time, and we just moved. My husband will be working 12hr/7days, and anyone who lives close by works fulltime jobs. I am really eager to start going back to school again and will be willing to do anything to succeed, but on another note, I am really nervous about going to school and juggling fulltime mommyhood. I know my husband will try to help out all he can, but I know his day will be hectic too. I will probably have to look into childcare for when I have my classes, but childcare these days are an arm and a leg. I just think if you really want this, and I am sure you do or you wouldn't waste your time on these threads, you can do this and succeed! Maybe we can give eachother support in the future when in school. We will do great!
