I spoke to the admissions office today and was told, rather enthusiatically, that I was on a list for the nursing interview process. The interview is just another step in the admission process, not an indication of whether or not you will be admitte...

I'm about to enter a CC and possibly a LPN program. My eventual goal, however, is to be a RN. Does anyone have any advice as to whether or not to do the LPN program and then try to get into a RN bridge program somewhere, or should I just do my prer...

What is the one thing that you know NOW, but you wish you would have known BEFORE you started nursing school?:uhoh21:

I've got to write a paper for my Western Civ class something like what you are describing.... I can't offer any advice, as I'm about to start writing mine as well, but I can feel your pain here! Good luck!

I suppose I would be officially included in this group! I am just starting college at the tender age of 33! This summer, I'm taking Personal Health and Western Civilization I for the first term. Scond term, I'll be taking .... uhmm.. I don't know ...

What seems to be working for me at this point is the computer, believe it or not. While the kids are watching tv, playing in their rooms, or even eating dinner, I'm typing away here. I tend to retype my notes everyday, which helps me to remember th...

I'm at the beginning of my journey to nursing.. and it starts tomorrow! I'll be taking a total of 12 hours this summer... Western Civ I and II, Psych and Sociology. I've not been in school for 15 years, so say a little prayer for me please! :)

If I was you, I would certainly be requesting course schedules from whatever school you are considering. I know at my school, there are nursing courses during morning, afternoon, and even some at night according to the papers I picked up yesterday. ...

I feel for you, I really do. Most all of my family is really supportive of me at this point. I don't even start prereq's until next week, but they were behind me and the rest of my family 100% since we first told them about what I was going to do. ...

From what I understand, you can take the NCLEX-RN after your junior year if you are attending a four year BSN program.. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

I thought over this same process. I knew that I would be looking for fin aid when I got ready to do the bridge program, and where I live, the only bridge programs go from LPN to MSN and I don't live near any of the straight to RN programs in a CC. ...

Something funny .... I received more letters from the Fin Aid dept a few days ago. Included in these papers was a release they wanted me to sign for the local paper announcing that I'd been awarded this academic scholarship. Well, I'm 33 yrs old.. ...

I'm going to start taking pre req's next week at a local CC, in hopes of transferring over to a BSN program. I'll apply to the closest BSN programs soon, and if I don't get accepted, I'll start a LPN program in January.

Now now, guys... to quote my 13 year old, "You're not old mom, you're experienced!!! heehehee

Never give up .... There is still hope.. at least until after the first day the classes start! Just go on and do your prereq's, and keep your chin up!

You may want to look into working in a dietary environment. You would have your choice of either working in a hospital or even a health club once you are certified. I don't know about the job market in your area, but I know that around here, there ...

If it's wrong, then I'm going down with you!! I'm just waiting to hear that my old boss went down in flames!! This woman trained me for my position, and she knew that upper ranking people had pulled me from my training six weeks early. After I got...

I read this story and remembered the first time I ever tried to give blood. I was 17 and the Red Cross came to our high school. I went through the screening and they did a finger prick in order to spin the blood to check for anemia. The explained ...

I suppose they could ask that type of problem. If it's in a review book, you should at least be familiar with how to work the problem. I mostly remember solve for x problems, but this one is more likely just asking you to multiply it out. If the ...

There have been several posts recently about criminal offenses, both felony and misdeamenor, and how it will affect ones chances of being allowed to sit for boards. I'm just curious as to what someone would do if they were NOT allowed to sit for boa...

Well, I agree, and I would as well. But, if you read some of these threads it sounds as if some people are just saying, "I hope it doesn't...." w/o making sure first. I have a friend who was in the same position and the BON told her that her offens...

I have from now until June 1 to decide whether I want to pursue the LPN program or take prereq's for RN. If I take the LPN route, it means A and P I the first summer term (4 weeks). I'm not so sure I can do that and pull it off!! I've not been in ...

Glad things seem to be working out for you. A friend called me today and said she'd heard from the BON as well and was told that the offense wasn't an automatic ban from taking the test. However, they also said that they couldn't/wouldn't say anyth...

No calculators. No major conversions. No word definitions. It's a very basic test. Decimals, fractions, addition, subtration, multiplication, division, ratios and about five of those very simple algebra equations make up the math portion. The Eng...

Can't buy books OR register until the day before class starts.
