RBauer8814: My cumulative gpa is 2.68, but that's because I screwed up at the beginning of college when I thought I wanted to do pre-med. My more recent grades have been much higher. I've done well in...

I just called the nursing department and spoke with Angela. She said she was not familiar with any such e-mail going out, so it probably came from the university and not the nursing department. Is...
I had an unpaid internship at a hospital in the past that required me to work closely with patients. I did things such as bathing, changing dirty linens, feeding, and taking vital signs (although I...

PAMQ, did you get that in your regular e-mail? I have not gotten that message yet and I was also admitted to TCU... *nurse2be*, maybe you and I will get that e-mail on Monday. After all, it took us a...

My tcu.edu message just changed to "Congratulations on your admission! We look forward to welcoming you into the Horned Frog family." I have not received anything in the mail yet, but I hope it comes...
I took it at a Prometric testing center about half an hour from where I live. I think the Flagstaff program takes 30 people, but like you, it doesn't seem too far fetched to me that 30 people would...
LOL. Yeah, I don't know where the other NAU folks are. Hopefully not many people applied! (I wish...) I'm actually from California. I have family in Flagstaff which is why I chose to apply to nursing...

Really? Gah, that sucks. I was hoping it would be at the same time! I haven't received mine yet, but I live all the way out in California so it'll be a

Nothing today, but I wasn't expecting to get anything in the mail. Courtney, have you come back from being out of town yet? Did you get something in the

I really hope TCU sends out letters by the end of this month! It's my top choice and I hate waiting. Although, I only applied to one other school... But TCU is still my top

Hmm.. In that case, maybe it's taking a long time for me because I'm out of state and they need to determine course equivalency. I'm too afraid to call and find out though. I worry about annoying them...
I am agreeing with a previous commenter. Scoliosis is -not- a disability. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 10 years old. My curvature was originally 36 degrees, but my curvature grew to 50...
Whether or not bio or chem are prerequisites depends on your school. Of course, there are some schools out there that don't have a prerequisite for micro. For me, I had to take chem before enrolling...

It's finally March! I hope the next few weeks go by quickly :) How are you all keeping busy? I'm just trying to catch up on reading for a&p 2 and micro. I also need to start on my PTSD research...
Not all schools require you to be a CNA. You should look into both ADN and BSN programs. Both will prepare you to take the licensing exam for RNs. The only difference is that you need a BSN for a...
There are no stupid questions :) A CNA is actually a Certified Nursing Assistant (not a nurse). As for the types of nurses, there are LVNs (Licensed Vocational Nurses) and RNs (Registered Nurses). One...
I applied to TCU and NAU-Flagstaff for Fall 2011 :). I've got 5 classes to keep me busy while awaiting a decision, but it's hard! If neither school accepts me, my plan B is to take some more general...

The e-mail says that they will begin sending out decisions at the end of March. Whether that decision reaches your mailbox at the end of March or in April, who knows. But they're going to beging...
