I may need a nurse after tomorrow night !!!! Wowzers.... it's show time.....

As I've stated in other posts, I really don't think it's THAT competitive. I know plenty of people that made it in with similar grades as you, not to mention lower ones. Don't stress about the NLN so much, it's not like taking the USMLE lol. Getting ...

I took my last one today too.......... a whole month of rest..... I'm speechless

Update cause I'm bored lol. TB test, vaccines, physical... CHECK ..... AHA BLS Cert... CHECK Background/Drug screen..... CHECK My sanity.... UNCHECK Now all I need to do is panhandle change from now till orientation so I can give them the $100 b...

Ok.... got my vaccinations and physical done. I ordered my background check/ drug test tonight and I'm attending the CPR training at Memphis Sat from 8-12, so I'm cooking with bacon grease now. So now just the $100 for orientation and the dreaded boo...

I would also like that list..... I live off the money from Pell grants and various scholarship money, and unfortunately the school dispenses the funds in a manner that is absolutely ridiculous. They've made these changes due to all the people they ha...

I wasn't prepared for the extra costs associated with the program. After I'm finished with the checklist I will be broke lol.

@kay_bee.... I also have the Mon-Wed 5-7 class with a Friday clinical.....

For anyone who has done the vaccinations and/or background/drug test, what was the cost? I've not had insurance in well over a decade and I was wondering if the city conducted those vaccinations or maybe somewhere that's not to terribly expensive.......

@kay_bee & nikki Thanks for the links. I registered for that last spot. If either of you know, what was the cost of the course?

Is there anyway you could post this link as I'm interested in going to that class. I'm trying to find it now to no avail. bleh....

Nevermind...... Your talking about under the Programs: ........ that may be possible at that point. Good luck.

If you selected Nursing as your major when you began school at SWTCC it will have nursing as your major, but that doesn't mean your in the program. The people who got in received a phone call and had to go down and sign their acceptance letters. I kn...

Don't try and suppress my dreams. It's all this old man has left. lol

I had to chime in on the "dreaded professor". I thought his class was cake but he had the attitude of a billy goat. Still two semesters later, I can hear the words "cook it till it's dead" ringing in my ears. hehe

If it's a white mini skirt with thigh high, patent leather white boots, I'll second that motion and be a huge supporter of the movement.

@applejacks..... thanks.. I would like to know if she found that class helpful, as well as it's level of difficulty. I'm also thinking of looking into medical transcription and/or medical insurance claims. The medical terminology fits perfect for me ...

Thanks for the responses. I've already taken any and all prereq's that are listed as of now for both Baptist and U of M. I was trying to cover my bases for my RN-BSN. I wonder if Medical Terminology would do any good? Maybe some other course of that ...

So yeah.... I showed up bright and early to except my acceptance packet. To my dismay, I was rushed through the process as if I was at the DMV. I just can't get over these completely incompetent secretaries that work in the nursing department. Howeve...

I hope this class isn't full of a bunch of men. I'd much rather be in class with a bunch of cute girls than homely men. lol :)

I was accepted. The call came just before 10am. Don't they know not to call me before noon on Fridays? lol

I just read all your posts on acceptances. I haven't checked my phone because I just woke up lol. Congrats to you guys. I'll go check my messages and see if I'm in the club.

@scifihippie- You are probably more informed on grad schools than I am at this point because you're further along. I talked to the U of M grad department this past spring and at that point they were still offering the MSN. I also saw that recently...

Thanks you guys..... This is just merely another stop in my journey to become an NP. I'm an older student and the four years + left in front of me feels like running up against a bus. I decided to attend SWTCC's nursing program so that I could secure...

I was called and asked to attend the Male Nursing Orientation. Wasn't much of an orientation, more of a testimonial by a male nurse. There was about 20 people there, half of whom were already students. I have no idea if that means anything or what no...
