Me either Diva. It's okay though. Onward and upward!! Best of luck to everyone else whom applied!!

I have an Associates in Business Administration and a Bachelors in Management Information Systems. I was previously going for my Associates in Nursing for a while but decided it was better for me to just finish up my bachelors. Nursing has never left my heart and I feel as though this could possibly be a second opportunity for me to have a career I am happy to go to every single day of my life and feel accomplished at the end. =)

Thanks for that Divalicious! That was some good ol' math for ya! But I appreciate that! That definitely makes me feel just a bit better knowing that only about 80 matriculate out of the 120-125 accepted. I hope we all get a chance to meet one another!! =)

Hello all, I noticed there was not a thread started for the University of Hawaii-Manoa GEPN Fall 2015 applicants so I decided to start one! I just finished up all of the requirements and got all of my documents and information submitted through NursingCAS yesterday...so now the waiting begins. I applied for the APHN program for Fall 2015. I know they admit on a rolling admissions basis now so I'm just anxious, waiting, and nervous about a response. I was told that it will take approximately 4-6 weeks or so to possibly receive a decision. It can't come quick enough for me!!!!! =D Is there anyone else who applied for the GEPN Fall 2015 cohort at UH-Manoa? Wondering who may be joining me in the Fall of 2015!!

Thanks Divalicious! Good luck to you as well! Time is passing by sooooooo slowly! :***: Hahaha!

Yes! Finally found the Fall 2015 thread! I applied for the GEPN with a PNP specialty. I have not seen many people with that specialty on this thread as of yet...may be a good thing! :) I am so nervous and impatient for an answer! Time CANNOT go any slower! Ahhhhhhhhh!

Thank you for this mikeicurn!! This really helped me out because I'm doing my first care plan now and I constantly got mixed up due to me trying to treat the doctor's diagnosis versus actually coming up with nursing diagnoses to help the patient feel better, leaving treating the actually medical diagnosis to the doctors. Thanks again!!!

You have such an amazing story! This was definitely worth the read! Thank you so much for sharing and congrats! I really enjoyed reading it! I daydream and dream all the time about when I finally finish school and that moment when I find out I have passed the NCLEX and I actually start crying myself!! And I know that is whats gonna happen when I really do pass! LOL! I'm such an emotional guy (not afraid to admit it haha). CONGRATS AGAIN!!!

OMG...thank you so much for sharing your story! That definitely inspires me to keep pushing forward. I can't wait until I see my name on the BON as well! Congratulations!!!

This is about 2 years later but yes, you can only take General Ed. classes online though...no nursing classes.

LOL! It's crazy because I think about this question in my head all of the time!! There are two big things I want to buy. My first purchase will be my first home...and maybe a year or so later I want a brand spanking new, off the showroom floor, Chevy Tahoe. Oh, and of course saving at the same time. lol:cheers:

Hello everyone!! I'm currently in my 3rd week of Nursing School and taking A&P I. I'm coming from primarily a business track (have my business degree)...never took any type of science post high school nor the appropriate science in high school so I am very new at all of this and the terminology. Okay...nevertheless, I keep hearing negative things from people about A&P. What I keep hearing is that it's extra difficult, make study groups, etc etc etc. It's sort of terrifying me to an extent. I'm retaining a lot of the information so far so that's a good thing and I'm also an independent learner so I learn best by myself. My cousin says that it's just memorizing the human body. Can you guys tell me your opinions of it? I'm currently trying to roll with the "It's what you put into it" and "Everyone has their own opinion of it based on their experiences" mottos. Positive experiences are a +++!! Thanks everyone!!

That's awesome MammaNurse2Be!! As of a week ago, I also finally got the TEAS off of my back! I had taken it at the beginning of June and didn't do so well. I didn't do bad but I didn't do good either. I took it 26 days later and my score increased dramatically!! I had the McGraw Hill book, the NLN book, and the TEAS study guide. I used the McGraw Hill book for the first one...didn't do so well but then I used the TEAS study guide for the second test and it definitely helped! I'm so excited for the both of us! We have that test behind us (thank god because it was truly grueling)!! I'll be starting Nursing school this upcoming Fall!!!! :nurse:

Congrats NurseLoveJoy88!! I know that has to be an awesome feeling!! I already have my Associates in Business but when I finish my ADN, I'm hoping to move on to the Bachelors and maybe Masters...I'm still contemplating the Masters though....

Congratulations to everyone who will be starting Nursing classes in Fall 2011!!! Count me in as well! I just got the news last week Monday! I will be attending Bryant & Stratton College here in Milwaukee and I'm sooooo excited!! I also already have an Associate Degree in Business Administration that I just graduated with last October! I'm pretty sick of sitting behind a desk all day long on the computer and cannot wait to start walking around, taking care of patients, listening to different wisdom and words that people have to pass down, and getting to really know them versus just being their nurse. I'm super excited!! Again, CONGRATS EVERYONE!!! :yeah: :nurse::yeah:
