I’m not doing RN to BSN, I’m starting fresh. I just commented initially because everyone is starting at the same time.

Been there and done that, but hey to each their own. ?

Also that’s just the beginning. My second, third, and fourth semesters have 3 - 4 classes. I don’t know why they figure this would be simple with 1 class a quarter. The program is structured that way and they were made aware during enrollment.

Sounds like someone or they’re having trouble with time management. One class is online and the other is on campus. No reason why there should be a struggle.

I start on the 2nd also. English and a Transition class.

Hey I start on the 2nd also. Can’t wait.

Kinda late for May don’t ya think? Lol.

I’m gonna be applying for the May start. I’m starting fresh for the most part. Are you?

Hello everyone. I’m actually all the way in Indiana and going to be moving to Florida which Chamberlain is locates in both locations. I’m reading everyone’s responses and I’m noticing everyone is talking about GPAs which I don’t have the slightest idea what mine is. I know the school I went to before was subpar by any means and I could care less to transfer the credits. I’d rather start fresh, I’m currently a QMA (not a medical assistant). So I would be doing the 3 year BSN program. I have no qualms about taking the Hesi. I’m just catching a feel about what to expect. I’m planning on starting in May as well.

I'm sorry but I think that is false. Lol.

Even though that happened to that school along with MedTech in Indiana there are still other schools out there that are booming with graduation rates. You need to research before just going in on places.

When you work in a field that you're studying there is a difference. Fresh information sinks in different than information you're familiar with. That's not just in healthcare. If you're working as a chef and you go to school for culinary arts, you already have a basic understanding of food and how to prepare it.

Ok so I have to comment on this cause I think it will help a lot especially for those that are attempting to go for their Nursing. I have been working in healthcare for a total of 14 years, half being in positions like dietary, unit secretary, scheduler, specialty receptionist, and record keeper. The other half was being a CNA, Phlebotomist, and a QMA (Medication Administrator/Aide). I am currently pursuing my LPN and will stop at my FNP. Although I'm not a full nurse now, being a QMA preps you for that in many ways. The transition is minimal other than responsibilities. I honestly think school would be harder for someone that hasn't worked in healthcare or in the nursing setting. When you're in school you're so worried about passing that test and cramming information trying to retain it. In the actual workplace you're not necessarily studying, but you're implementing what you've learned into the care you provide. Another thing about actually working as a nurse is that there is always someone that you can go to if you're unsure and will have no problem showing you and steering you in the right direction.

I plan on going to Orlando Tech when I move down there next week, so hopefully I start with you all. I'm moving from Indianapolis, Indiana. Wish me luck and good luck to you all.

I plan on going to Orlando Tech when I move to Orlando on the 8th of December. I believe the classes start in January. I'm so excited. I'm moving from Indianapolis, IN.
