Hey guys! So I will be starting the Oklahoma City University accelerated program in Spring 2014. I was unable to get into any of the schools in my local area (Southern California) so I will be relocating out to Oklahoma City ! I'm curious to know if...

Pretty much what RunBabyRun said... I grew up, got serious about school, and now try to excel in everything I do.

If your book has learning objectives I would try to answer those and if you can't ...refresh your knowledge for those topics. That has helped me!

Like the PP said, there are plenty of accelerated BSN programs out there to choose from. I am actually in an accelerated program now, however, the only downside is that since I already hold a bachelor's degree I don't qualify for any types of grants ...

I would look into companies who specialize in promotional gifts, more specifically, medical promotional gifts. I did a quick Google search and a bunch of companies popped up... so I would start there. They usually let you add a 'logo' to your item so...

I am currently attending the accelerated nursing program at Kramer, however, this is my first semester so I don't have too much insight to offer. I am really enjoying the program so far... the teachers seem to actually want you to learn and understan...

I have only been in the program for one week so far... but I like it a lot. I have already made some good friends who will be in the program with me the whole way. I don't know if the dynamics are different because it's an accelerated program but the...

I haven't attended either one of those programs, however I am currently in a second degree accelerated program. I guess it depends on your personal goals... if you are ultimately going to go back and get your BSN or a higher degree for nursing I woul...

Ceccia - that is such an interesting way of putting it. I'm totally going to try that! I didn't get nervous when practicing skills for my CNA certificate , probably because I would talk to the "patient" kind of explaining the process as I went. But ...

Thank you so much for this advice! I start tomorrow ... I'm so nervous/excited I can't sleep =P.

Happy New year!!! -I hope to pass my first-third semesters (summer included) in nursing school. -I hope I am able to survive on my own in a new state and make the best of it. -I really hope that I am able to get involved in some sort of research this...

Unfortunately the southern California area is extremely competitive for nursing school. However your current stats look good. I actually live about 20 miles north, but most of the community colleges around here are transitioning to a point system. GP...

I start January 13th and graduate May 2015!! I'm so excited to finally be starting school after so long! =)

I haven't started my nursing program yet but for my bio major I would buy my books through half.com and sell them after every semester if they were no longer needed. I would usually end up breaking even ( unless a new edition came out dropping the bo...

Hi! I start nursing school in January... I'm super anxious to get started! I actually will be graduating in the summer of 2015. Congrats to all that got in! =)

Congrats!! =)

Hello! First off.. congrats on getting into NS! =) . If you want options when you plan on going back to school for you Master's degree I would make sure your school is accredited by one of the 6 regional accreditors (in addition to CCNE): Middle Stat...

Congratulations on getting into NS, so exciting!! I too am starting NS in January so I am also looking for advice or best practices. I have been reading around the forum and from what I gathered the major things to focus on are prioritizing and study...

Wow... truly inspiring! I would love to do this when I become a seasoned nurse.

Wow..thank you! I appreciate your responses. I was really nervous moving into a new area without knowing anything! And now I feel like I have a little idea of what OKC is like. Thank you!

That's good to hear about the grocery stores... too bad there isn't a Costco! =P Do you have any recommendations for places to live within the city or in other surrounding cities? I am actually looking for a home to buy in a decent area... since I n...

My CNA program was pretty easy... I went through the Redcross in California and it was a month long program. Our teacher said that almost no one fails the written portion, which was also the case for my class... however more than half of of the class...

Wow ! I really appreciate this list! I have just enrolled into an ABSN program and I am hoping this helps me out when I enter clinicals! Thanks!

Bluejays91- Thank you so much for all of the information...especially about the books! I looked at the book list for my the first semester and it totaled to 16 books! I basically purchased only the ones that said 'required' from Half.com , but I am g...

Hi! I will be graduating in 2 weeks with a BA in Biology, and I've been looking ELMSN NP programs... I know of the schools that are offering that option within CA, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any other schools that I should apply to (out-of...
