Thanks soxgirl2008. I am thinking about which school to transfer to after GTC, some of the students claim that Parkside does not offer 2 for 2...meaning that once you graduate from GTC, there are additional classes to take in order to be considered a junior upon enrolling to the BSN program. Do you know of this?

luv2b a nurse, are you saying that you were employed at this company but was not able to get the position as a SNI? Was the competition with the new grad (your graduating class) or from within the company? Wow, thanks for the heads-up. I've heard that when new grads go out seeking employment, they are told that "the company is looking for someone with experience".

2b a Nurse, I am not sure as to what the pay is for the SNI but if anyone can answer that, I'd like to know as well.

Thanks for the info, I will check it out.

I have been on the waiting list since December 2008 and I will start the program this Fall (September 2011). How does one become a Student Nurse Intern (SNI)? Do you know of any long-term care facilities or hospitals that will accept students just entering the program? I'm told that Manor Care in Kenosha will be a good place to work. What do you think?

Thanks so much for the info. I appreciate it.

Thanks so much for the reply. I too have heard stories about the 80% requirement for passing tests, I'm told that it is the requirement for all nursing programs in this state (WI). If you don't mind to ask your coworkers, will you ask them how many hours were they able to work as a full time nursing student and still be able to have ample study time. Thanks again I appreciate any insight they have to offer as I really don't know much about the instructors or what to look forward to. :)

That's great! I am starting the AD program this fall and I was just wondering the same thing. I do have plans to review A&P and also refresh with my pathophysiology. Keep us posted on how things are going!
