Hi StudentGrace! Thank you so much for the reply, and congrats on being in your third term! :heartbeat I will give you a quick background... I was an average student in high school, and have two years of undergrad completed, with average grades. I have been out of college for 4 years and I'm worried about returning to school. I dream of being a nurse and am hoping my passion is strong enough to drive me through school. My biggest obstacle, I must work while in school, with all my prereqs completed, do you think I will have time to work? Do you like the Akron Institute, would you recommend it? Can you give me an idea what the program is like? And finally... I will be reapplying for Sept. 2010, with months before the start date, is there anything I can do or should be doing to prepare myself? (I was accepted into the Jan 2010 class, but did not receive enough financial aid to attend, I was still a dependent) Again StudentGrace, thank you so much for taking the time to help, I appreciate any advice you can provide!! :)

Can you give me an idea what the program is like? And finally... I had applied to the Jan 2010 and was accepted, but did not receive enough financial aid (I was still a dependent), thus I could not attend. I will be reapplying for Sept. 2010, with months before the start date, is there anything I can do or should be doing to prepare myself? Again StudentGrace, thank you so much for taking the time to help, I appreciate any advice you can provide!! :)

Thank you for the quick response, I appreciate it! I'll do that now! Have a good one!

Hi everyone! Any current RN students at the Akron Institute, or recent Akron Institute grads out there reading this post? If so, please reply! I have a few questions on the program/school I'd like to ask.... Thank you so much for your time! :heartbeat

Hi everyone! I am applying to the Akron Institute for their Fall 2010 RN class (wish me luck!) and I have a quick question... how are classes scheduled? I must work while in school, so I am trying to plan ahead and look for a flexible job (any ideas?), since I am currently in a 9am-5pm position. I'm worried I will have classes scheduled for all hours of the day and will have a difficult time trying to work. Are you able to schedule your own classes, or is there already a set RN class schedule the students must be able to attend? Your responses are greatly appreciated, thank you so much for your time! :heartbeat

Thank you so much to everyone who answered my post, I really appreciate it! :heartbeat Unfortunatley, I dont have much choice but to work, and I can only imagine how difficult it will be. I cant tell you how glad I am to hear that there are people out there who have successfully graduated from their programs while working and taking caring of kids and family, etc.! :) Thank you!

Hi! Did anyone out there work while in nursing school? Is it do able? I can only imagine how intense the curriculum is going to be, but I must work at least part time to pay my bills... Nursing is my dream, and I am ready and willing to do what it takes! :) Are there any jobs in a hospital I can do while in school prior to having any certifications, diplomas etc.? Thanks for all the help!! :heartbeat

Thanks for all the advice everyone!! :heartbeat I really appreciate it! Everyone keeps saying the science section is "basic" science, well I sure hope so lol, I don't remember much from my HS science classes...

Hi Chris, I took the HESI A2 exam in July, I only had to take the Math, Grammer, Vocab and Reading. I used the HESI A2 Exam Review, 2nd edition as well, I thought it was a big help! I would definetly recommend using it. Overall I did well on the test, I did pass, but definitly should have studied the vocab section more. In addition to your overall study, I would suggest studying prefixes, suffixes and root words, several of the questions on the grammer I just guessed! I hope this helps, and best of luck to you!! :)

Thank you so much!! :nuke: I will be taking my test 9/18/09! Any pointers on the TEAS exam?

Thank you Hubbys girl I appreciate all the help!! I keep hearing that there are questions in the science portion of the test on rocks and clouds... how odd... the study guides I've been using have not mentioned either topic!! yikes!! ... Well back to studying, thank you again, and I hope to hear good news about your test!!... I have to wait after I take my test to, to hear if I was accepted, a month!... and what a long month that will be!! This site is a-w-e-s-o-m-e! I love it! :heartbeat

Hi! I will be taking the TEAS entrance exam in a week, does anyone know of any websites I can use to study from? I have been studying out of several books and would like to find something more interactive... I'd appreciate any advice you can give on the TEAS exam!! Thanks for the help!! :wink2:

Thanks for the heads up! I'm sure you did great!!! :-) I will be taking the TEAS exam 9/18/09.. what should I expect with the Science section? Thank you!

Thank you for the reply! I've been studying from the McGraw-Hill Nursing Entrance Exam study guide, it seems to be pretty helpful so far... I dont remember much from my HS science classes, so I am very nervous!

]Hi, ]Has anyone taken the TEAS entrance exam? I have been studying for weeks and still feel nervous about the science section, any suggestions? ]Thank you!! :)
