This is sad to hear. I am starting an ADN program in the fall. I imagine at the end it will be more of a struggle to find a job. Have any of your classmatesfound employment? What school did you attend for your ADN?

I received my letter of admission acceptance today. I am so.excited.. anyone else in for fall 2011?

I am so sorry. The poor mother and family....

Definitely a course you can take over the summer. Focusing only one course during the summer will be great.. your A IN A&P proves you can do it...believe in yourself..

Hello and welcome... I am your age as well. I am going back to school in the fall, hopefully in an ASN program. I have previously completed my pre reqs as well. All my science should go through since it has been less than 8 years, which is the time frame for the program I am applying to. I just wanted to say hey and tell you we are in the same place. Here it is easier to get into the ASN program then bridge for the BSN. That is my plan. What state are you in?

It could very well be in the 'contract' you sign with the school that if you should become pregnant then you have to take time off. While I don't think a year is needed, I do think maybe a semester would be best. They could have this rule for their protection as well. If you were to get injured or ill they don't want a lawsuit. Also, if you needed to go on bed rest, your tuition is gone, so its protecting you. I found out I was pregnant while in nursing school. I was in the sophomore year of my program and had 2 yeas to graduate. It was very sad for me to have to quit. He was due in November. Now he will be starting kindergarten in the fall and I will be going back to school to finish my degree.. I am so excited... Congratulations on your pregnancy and nursing school acceptance.. what an exciting time..

Welcome Megan. This is a great place to search for information about nursing school and other info about nursing... Glad you are hear...

EJacobs if you see this before you go in..will you ask Jim what version of the TEAS they give and if he will tell you what the passing percentage is?? I wonder also if they still do an interview.. I did send him an email about the TEAS version.. Thanks..

Oops I forgot today is Wednesday...

EJacobs, are you going this evening, did you go? I went today and had my transcripts sent from Akron U...now I need to go and have my high school transcripts sent... And refresh my algebra and science for that teas test...I wonder what their passing grade is... And to the AI grass...how soon after the application deadline do we find out if we are in..

You will need to find out how they pick the students who get in the program. Our local University ONLY factors in the GPA of the SCIENCE courses. So you may want to check that out for the school you are interested in..

Thank you for that Lookup... I will VERY likely apply..I withdrew from the BSN program at Akron U when I was pregnant with my son (our last baby).. and now it is time for Mama.. He will be going to school all day in the fall... If I GET accepted I will go..

You have to have all of your paperwork in and take the TEAS Exam by then..and you have to take it there..

Are you thinking of withdrawing? If you are considering AI you will need to have everything completed by June 3rd..I am not sure how soon after they send out acceptance or denial letters..

September 6, is the next start date. Then another in Jan and May 2012...

You have to send in BOTH your high school transcript and any college transcripts. Actually the schools have to send them, you cannot take them in yourself. Did you just begin at Akron Practical? When will you be finished?

Yes.. the classrooms all have windows, so when you are in the hall you can see inside them. The lab was set up very similar to the one at Akron U, just a bit smaller scale. IF my credits transfer I will only have around 38-45 credits to complete at AI.. Cross those fingers. The program is a 20 month (5 semester) program, the director told me that I should be done in 15 months, that would be wonderful and honestly WORTH it..Because then I could apply to Assoc. Applied Science-BSN-program at Akron U in Spring of 2013 for summer of 2013 session. Then graduate with a BSN in 2014. That would be my GOAL at least!! I think I have read that you are in an LPN program now. How much is your program and how long and which one are you in?

EJacobs, The visit takes about an 35 minutes or so. They want you to fill out some paperwork, application.. They will explain the program to you as well. The tuition is $37,400. If you have gen ed or science courses completed from previous education they should transfer as well. Then you can subtract $440 per credit hour that transfers. You will also tour the building (campus). It appears the clinical will likely be from 7-2:30 at Akron area hospitals and a nursing home in the area. The books are included BUT you don't get to keep them for reference or sell them after the class. The building did seem a bit quiet and small.. the tuition is a bit much. If I decide to go it will only be due to all my gen ed courses and science classes actually transferring there. Should save me quote a bit.. If there are typos I am sorry. I am posting while sitting in the car waiting in the car line at school..

A&P II is easier than A&P I (in my opinion).. I would take it in the summer, just get it over with. If it is going to be your only course for that session of the summer, definitely take it then.

Hello, this is my first post.. I wanted to add that AI has their Initial Accreditation. They have moved from being a Candidate to Initial. The next visit from NLNAC will be in 2015. They are above the state average for students passing the NCLEX-RN as well. The passing average did slip 4% points from the previous year, but they are still above the state average. I will be visiting AI tomorrow, so hopefully I will receive more information. I do know it is more expensive, so not sure if I want to spend that much now or just wait out for entry into a BSN program...
