I have just finished up getting my CNA certification and decided to do some volunteer hours at a local long term care facility to bulk up my resume (and due to the lacking jobs). The facility SEEMED pretty nice and well maintained however I was somew...

...there are HUGE lists right now and all the cleaning out of the "accredited-ish" schools is bombing community colleges on top of the 4 year university schools. You might be able to challenge the denyal if you can prove that your class description i...

I have taken every test required with acceptable scores, have obtained all of my pre-req classes with a 3.7 GPA WITH recommendations and have applied to over 15 schools...and have been placed on the waiting list...for 15 schools. RANDOM LOTTERY LISTS...

I am a nursing major in CA and because of the backup in the schools out here (and everywhere) I thought it might be a good plan to collect as many certifications as possible to attempt to start my medical career early. I already hold an EMT, Paramedi...

**ANXIETY ATTACK!!** I am getting pretty freaked...I can't finish school and if I can't work enough to support myself when my parents insurance support ends I'm SCREWED! I have SEVERAL genetic issues that would be terminal without EXTREMELY pricy hea...

o_o ***head desk*** This entire nursing school application carnival show has been such a nightmare for me I'm getting ready to throw in the towel. The ONLY reason I have my EMT/Medic cert is because I initially wanted to go to medical school and felt...

Okay, now I'm confused... Perhaps I should clarify first what my "dream" career destination is...When all is finally said and done, I want to become a nurse/nurse practitioner who specializes/certed in midwifery/prenatal/doula. I love working with th...

Okay guys...I know that there has been a bunch of conversation about Coolidge College in Arizona as an alternative option to other nursing programs because of their unique program requirements. There was A BUNCH of confusion however so I recently dro...

I had a REALLLLLLY bad personal experience involving psych facilities when a family member went to one for emotional problems. She has Celiac's Disease and requires a modified diet in order to eat without getting sick and no matter WHAT we did the st...

But it's no excuse for a nurse to treat one of their patients like an animal! I'd NEVER treat another human with that kind of disrespect and people who work in places like that who do don't need to be nurses! There is no way their actions are legal.....

I have been in between a rock and a hard place in regards to getting my BSRN and pretty much EVERYTHING that could POSSIBLY go wrong has. My GPA is not high enough to get me into a University's nursing school program via the traditional application p...

Getting screwed by my private college selling out to Apollo is far from a story it's a FACT. I would be DONE by now if that hadn't happened and facing people with attitudes like yours is the reason I keep seeing freshman nursing students who ONLY hav...

I was hoping someone could look PAST my GPA ONLY BECAUSE I was failed due to the BS caused at that **** school I was in which failed me. I can prove that without those stupid F's averaged into my grades how much my grades improve....You ALSO would th...

Wow...way for everyone to jump down my throat. I didn't want to divulge every detail via public form....Basically I possess/have possessed several certifications, finished all of my pre-nursing courses, and have the intelligence level to be in medica...

@Bugsy- 1) It WASN'T one of those seedy private schools until the merger with the Phoenix College/Apollo Group. The program was extremely competitive, you needed an exceptionally high GPA before and during the program and the only reason I found it ...

When in doubt ask for help...You are more likely to get into SERIOUS trouble doing something your unsure of alone rather than feeling annoying and getting someone to help. Don't be so worried about "bugging" more senior nurses with questions, just be...

LOL!! Hey it beats the heck out of all of that synthetic energy supplement crap! We actually tested a whole bunch of different methods, mixtures, products and honestly this was the most effective one with the least amount of side effects compared to ...

I really am in a pickle and in some SERIOUS need of help/opinions/advice. I am a 24 year old pre-nursing student in Arizona and was one of the students that got totally screwed by Grand Canyon University when they merged with Apollo College, tanked t...

In New York? Sorry I'm horrible with college acronyms...Ugggg I wish I hadn't been stupid and allowed my parents to talk me into moving back home to Arizona from California to "save money" when I was working on getting into Loma Linda Medical School'...

Make sure that you TRY the Bikram before you actually purchase a plan because the studios can be quite pricey and if you decide you don't like it that would really suck. Most places have a free week of classes and livingsocial.com sometimes has deals...

Yoga dude...trust me you have NO idea how healthy you'll feel both inside and out. Now you can't just get a mat and go to town right off the bat, you have to have someone really teach you the right ways to shut yourself off otherwise it just won't wo...

Whooops I meant to type NET...other schools use HESIs and some even make up a version of their own. I was just given a glimmer of hope by a very kind woman who is the dean of a CNA certification school who was willing to allow me to test out of the c...

Hey when your an EMT working a 72 hour shift during prom season with a call out every 1/2 hour it's either that or an Epi-Pen I actually perfected the skill of sleeping in a chair balanced on two legs tipped against a wall for a decent length of tim...

Grand Canyon University cleaned me out financially I am just happy to have gotten out with my education...I haven't found anyone out of state that has a better nursing school situation regardless...

But I'm not looking at ASU that is not even CLOSE to an option...NAU and U of A I have been told are a very big possibility...I have so much experience it's frankly retarded that I'm not in a school regardless of my GPA! The only reason my GPA is tha...
