Yeah i studied all day!!!!! i took advantage of that day off. Took my test today! 94%

Just remember that an A is an A. When I took my mirco class I got a 91 and had no problem getting in to the program. When your transcripts are sent over it only shows the letter grade, so you’re in the clear. My advice to you is pay extra attention in A&P II, this is the most important pre-req. Everything I learned in that class has helped me so much in my ABSN program.

I would tell on them, in our program if you know that someone is cheating and you dont say anything and they get caught both of you get kicked from the program. The pervious class ABSN class kicked 15 people from the program and not everyone was cheating.

I never got my CNA :) I asked it if would help my chances of getting into nursing school and the nursing advisor told me no.

What thats way to much for a nursing degree! My ABSN for the entire program is only $16,000. If i was you i would wait and atted the ADN program then a RN-BSN program, becuz if you later decided that you do want to go to a CRNA program you'll be paying big bucks plus the loans youve already pulled out! In the end the choice is yours

I freaked out, I was more scared than happy. My first thought was how i was going to pay for it. The only person i told for the first few days was my girlfriend. But deep down inside i was jumping up and down.

Against the grain should be a way of life What's worth the price is always worth the fight Every second counts 'cause there's no second try So live like you're never living twice Don't take the free ride in your own life These are lyrics to Nickelback's today was your last day. For my program we had a meeting where we had to bring our support group, (spouse, parents, etc..) it was so they could understand that this was gonna be a difficult program and the wife or husband was gonna need to pick up the slack around the house (cleaning, washing, etc..). They also addressed that the support group can either make or break the student. Please don't give up! many people would die to be in your shoes. Try to make your husband understand the pros of you finishing school (more stable income, a new car, vacations) I bet if you make it through the program he'll understand why you did it.

hey! i’m a second degree student too, working on my accelerated bsn. i’m doing everything on loans; i had to move back in with my parents so i wouldn't have to work. your best bet is to take you pre-reqs at a local community college to save money. and you don’t have to go for your bsn, how about an adn. i also got a scholarship from a local hospital in which they pay me 1000 a semester. they also have scholarship for full tuition if you agree to work 2 years at certain facilities like rehab centers or long term care.

the teas is not that bad, if you buy the ati study guide you'll do fine. math is just mostly % problems, reading is reading, the science section is almost all general biology with is covered in the study guide. there was maybe 2 a&p questions, 2 physics questions (which i totally questioned on), 1 geology question, and a few chemistry questions. maybe you should go pick up a old biology text book from the library and read up on the material that you dont understand. i hardly studied the science section and got a 93 on it, and i hadn't seen general biology and general chemistry since my first degree. just make sure your ready becuz some schools have a limit on how many times you can take the teas (my school only allowed 2). if you canvisit a professor and ask for help. i went to a random chem teacher and asked if i could have some help on the chemistry section of the teas study guide, she agreed and gave me a crash course of the material. teachers like it when you ask for help, so don’t be afraid to ask. if you have any question you can ask me :)

Congrats i did the same thing! except i had micro and A&PII along with a psych and a nutrition class. It was the best semster i've had. I love the thrill of the fast pace, plus since everything is so rushed you dont have time to forget any of the material. I think anyone can do it as long as you're motivated! Spite is a great source of motivation, let someone tell me i can't do and it makes me try even harder. :monkeydance: I know this is a old thread but i thought i'd just give my to anyone who is going to take a load like this, this summer good luck to you guys

I start my ABSN program in June and we're scheduled to have 3 12hr shifts per week starting in july

I kept my conditional acceptance letter :) I got in on the first try, to the only school i applied to. I have to some where in my backpack :monkeydance:

I'll be done with my ABSN at age 24, I'm working on a second degree. I think I'm the youngest person in our 12 month, so I kinda feel outta place.

Don't worry, I feel your pain. I'm a nursing student and I worked my butt off to get into nursing school, only to have people tell me I'm going to school to be a butt wiper. I just learned to ignore them, because it's useless to try and explain what nursing is all about.

i finish in next may, but my plan is to send my parents on a well deserved vacation cruise. i owe it to them, because they let me move back in so i wouldn’t have to work while in nursing school. the next plan is to get an apartment for me, my girlfriend, and my dog!
