  1. I'm going crazy...sorry

    Hi! I did feel butterflies, here in WA there are so many applicants that I had to apply to several schools. I am glad I did. I didn't get into my first choice (an entry level MSN) or my second choice (ADN) lottery, so I am glad I was on a waiting ...
  2. Bates Tech College LPN Program

    Well I hope it (my note) works, if they are so specific they should provide a form, right? Anyway the letter said I "may start nursing school without any limitations" but I will call tomorrow and make sure that is ok. My dentist is giving me the fo...
  3. Bates Tech College LPN Program

    All but the Hep B (I have had shot one but still need 2 & 3), I have had the titer immunity or am current for everything else. Thanks for the reminder on dentist/doctor release- I got a letter from my primary provider and will pick one up from m...
  4. Bates Tech College LPN Program

    Hi ladynesh, Thanks for such a speedy response. They called me two weeks ago to see if I was interested so I hope they understand about the immunizations, I got in to get them done as soon as I could but it takes a little more than 6 months for th...
  5. Bates Tech College LPN Program

    Hi, I start Bates in September too but I don't know how to get the list of books I will need. They want me to have completed all of my immunizations etc. before I will get any more information. This is kind of a frustrating process. I have most of...
  6. "Oh, you're a guy? I can't hire you"

    That sucks, I think that is discrimination BUT you probably don't want to work there anyway. I am sorry that you had to experience that. Keep looking and I think you will find somewhere that will appreciate you for exactly who you are and how you a...
  7. Advice needed:go for an RN or straight for a MSN?

    I am in WA we have a lot of schools around here but they are still pretty competitive. I don't know exact numbers but I hear with the "economy" (I hate to say that) that applicantions have risen markedly. What about you?
  8. Dealing With Animosity

    Ruby, I am glad you shared your point of view. I am a pre-nursing student applying to entry level MSN programs. I volunteer in an oncology unit and was surprised by the lack luster response to my career/school goals when asked by nurses on the floor....
  9. Advice needed:go for an RN or straight for a MSN?

    I am in a similar situation. For me the answer depended on a few things, how long do I want to spend in school? I have little kids and don't want to spend their whole childhood stressed out about school if I get my ADN and then a masters later that ...
  10. My first clinical day..

    Yeah, that was a sad. I was really difficult some of the students left in tears that night. I reported it to our school, I wish now that I had reported it to the state but I didn't. Next time, if there ever is one, I will.
  11. No plan B for not getting into nursing school, just plans B,C,D, & E for which nursing program. Originally I was going for an entry level masters but it costs at least $58,000-$73,00 in tuition, so now I plan on an ADN program ($10,000-15,000) o...
  12. My first clinical day..

    I just remember being shocked that there was a woman in her wheelchair directly in front of the nurses station who smelled awful (C-Diff) and no one took notice of her. We got there at 4 and even after we (the students) mentioned it to the aid and o...
