I did a search on the subject and found a few threads, but didn't really find the answer I'm looking for.... I have a certain family member who will not get off my back about the risk I will face of contracting diseases as a nurse. I know that there ...

Anyone here planning on applying for the ADN program at Northwest Arkansas Community College Spring 2011 for Fall 2011 admittance? Just wondering if there are any fellow NWACC students out there. I have a few credits from my previous days of college...

I'm hoping to get accepted for Fall 2011 as well. Applications don't come out until February 1st. I will need to take the TEAS sometime between Feb 1st and March 1st (when the applications are due). Unfortunately my community college's nursing depart...

I am interested to read the replies. The nursing dept at my CC says that it won't know which version of the TEAS it will be using for next year's applicants until "sometime in January". The applications come out in Feb and I think they are due by Mar...

That is similar to how my CC's program works. 4 points are awarded for every A received in science prereqs, 3 points for every A received in non-science prereqs, a perfect score on the TEAS counts as 20 points, for a grand total of 53 possible points...

This is my understanding as well. I think I remember seeing that on the applications of both colleges I applied to when recently returning to college. I am in a similar boat - although my lovely semester of F's (after 3 semesters of all A's and B's ...

I know some programs do use interviews and/or essays as a part of the application process, but I'm glad that the community college I am attending doesn't. I went to a "pre-nursing advisement session" and the director of the nursing school said that t...

Just curious... How long did it take you (or is it currently taking you) to finish all of your prereqs? I am so tempted to want to cram all of my prereqs into 3 semesters so I can apply for Fall 2011, but the 10 credit hours I'm taking right now duri...

I can really relate. I probably would have dropped one of these Summer classes if I could have. It didn't start feeling super overwhelming to me until just a couple days after the deadline for dropping. I'm at the halfway point and so far I am gettin...

I think that sounds awesome! And just for the record, I think even what you call your "lazy" writing is much more articulate than some of the posts I've seen around here that were written by much older and more experienced students. Don't listen to t...

I agree w/ the others: try youtube and other instructional websites. A good one that really helped me brush up on the basics was http://www.coolmath.com/ . Definitely take a placement test at a community college or wherever you plan on taking your pr...

I saw an article a while back about the increasing number of hospitals and other healthcare facilities that are making the switch from employee-owned and cared for uniforms to uniforms that are supplied and laundered by the hospital. I remember the w...

Good to know! Thanks for this info!

I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. I recently posted on a related topic, but my thread hasn't gotten any replies yet. https://allnurses.com/nursing-scrubs-uniforms/hospital-laundered-scrubs-482878.html I am just starting my prereqs, so I have a...

I am interested to read the responses you get.... I am in a similar predicament. I can get the prereqs done for my community college's ADN program by the end of Spring 2011, and will have the chance to apply for Fall 2010 entrance. But I don't want t...

Fortunately, my community college's ADN program admission is based on a points system, using only required prereqs and the TEAS: "Applicants accrue points based on the TEAS composite/reading score and grades earned in required general education cours...

Doodle's Mom - I am right there with you! I am 29 with a 3-yr-old and starting my prereqs next week. We can do this!

May I please have a copy too? [email protected] Thank you! :redpinkhe

:yeah: Congrats!!!

Crossing my fingers for you!

Wow - a truly inspiring thread. Thank you for all the tips and advice. I am a SAHM to a 3-yr-old and will be starting my prereqs June 1st. I am so nervous about balancing family life with school, but as made evident by all of you amazing ladies, it C...

Count me in. I am registered for A&P I this Fall, along with English Comp II and a psych course called "Human Growth & Development". I'll be starting my prereqs in a couple weeks, though: English Comp I, College Algebra, and "Intro to Compute...

I am a 29-year-old stay-at-home mom to my 3-year-old daughter. I have recently decided that now is a good time for me to resume my college education. When I first started thinking about reentering the work force, I immediately started thinking of hea...

Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you, OP: You mentioned that after boards you are going on to get your BSN - so will you be seeking a job as an RN w/ an ADN after you get certified and then take BSN classes while you're working as a nurse? I am wondering bec...

Congratulations!!!! Such an encouraging and uplifting post! I needed that after reading a big handful of threads about people not making into nursing programs, wanting to quit nursing programs, and not getting hired after graduation. I am starting ...
