I just graduated in December from JJC RN program and I could not agree more about 2nd semester being the hardest (with 3rd not too far behind). Just an insane amount of work. Yes, the L&D is a...
Congrats to all of you! I'm in 3rd semester now and remember the feelings of overjoy and comets anxiety after receiving my letter of acceptance! Don't get too worried-first semester is all about...
I too just started 3rd semester at JJC. 2 theory days and one clinical day per week. Not as crazy as it was at the beginning of 2nd semester (thank goodness!) Several of us were very stressed...

I have worked at an Adventist hospital for 20+ years. I AM NOT an Adventist, but I am most definitely a Christian. What I have found is that as long as you are either comfortable with your self as a...
You can do it! I never thought I had time to do it, until I was laid off from my job. I know that this is God's plan for me. I had been slowly taking one class then taking the next semester off,...

Yeah - I figured "quick in and out" instead of waiting on the 17th when everyone else will be doing it. You pay for it and it just takes a couple days to get it back. They have them in stock at the...
I'm thinking us "days" students should start a study group in January!!!! I picked up my "lab coat" (which is really just a burgundy scrub jacket with a patch sewn on it) - only $22-ish and that...
Although they said we would be signing up for classes in November, when and where do we go for the drug screen, background check, etc... I am pretty sure the titers are on our own to get from our...
MegC - I would say you didn't get in because you have not completed ALL your pre-reqs - I didn't see Bio 251 in your line up. I'm sorry you did not make it in. If you are taking that course this...
I heard that as of the middle of TEAS testing they had only had 5 or so people score above 90 for the composite. I am like you guys and nervously awaiting an email!!!! Good luck to all of
Wow - this is a great site. I am an "older" student looking for a fresh start on life. I have completed all of my pre-reqs and have applied to the nursing program. Gearing up to take the TEAS later...
