  1. Ashamed of nursing school

    symphie replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    I'm uncomfortable talking to some people about choosing nursing, mainly my parents and their friends. I grew up in a household where I was expected to go into my dad's business (finance...), marry a...

  2. Drug Testing for NS

    symphie replied to PhiladelphiaLove's topic in General Students

    We have to get a drug screen and background check before starting, and then we have to do it again every year we're in the program. Wouldn't be that bad except it's like $100 each

    chill out. a little humor goes a long way in calming nerves, which is exactly what this whole thread was about: calming the nerves of someone just starting their nursing classes. if it's not like this...

  4. Only an ADN

    symphie replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

  8. Auburn BSN

    symphie replied to ucfknight's topic in Alabama Nursing

    The AUM program is less competitive, but from what I understand, follows the exact same curriculum as the AU program. I was accepted to AUM's program for Spring 2011 and it's a really easy application...

  9. Auburn BSN

    symphie replied to ucfknight's topic in Alabama Nursing

    For Fall 2010, I know there was only 1 guy out of the 48 people accepted. For Spring 2011, I heard there were 3 or 4 in that group of 48, but I'm not

    symphie replied to ucfknight's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Auburn accepts about 100 people to interview each fall and spring, and then accepts 48 of those into the program. They only look at your GPA (science course scores especially), interview score, and...
