What really sucks is when the letter is actually sitting on your kitchen counter and you are dreading opening it because it's not thick enough in your opinion. I was accepted to a spring 2012 program but I found out 4-5 months ago, and the envelope w...

You are talking about getting accepted straightaway into a post bacc at St. Kates thats probably more difficult....in my experience it is easy to get into the ADN-RN program that they have...all you need are deep pockets. No one hires LPN's around ...

congrats

Also the difference in starting wages here in MN is $0.25/hr ADN-RN vs. BSN-RN

I didn't mean to offend you, I am speaking mainly of the situation here in MN as that is really the only system I have first hand experience with. We have waiting lists here as well for every CC program (500 applicants for 120 spots usually) and mo...

I have never been in the armed services I don't know where you got that VA bit. I didn't say I get money from the VA. I work and pay for my education myself, with a LITTLE help from my employer.

This is in the minnesota forum for a reason, the OP is probably from MN. Your guys' posts "it may be different in different regions" is irrelevant since she posted this in the MN forum. I bet you have a lot more people speaking spanish in TX, JUST S...

Since you are a NEW Nursing Assistant, the best floor in a hospital to work on will be any floor you can get hired on. Hospitals don't like to hire new pca's with no experience. I really doubt you will have your selection of floors to work on..you're...

My two cents, coming from a CNA that's worked med/surg in a hospital for 5 years, is no it will not benefit you that much. I can;t speak from a hiring manager's point of view but I think it would just be a bullet point on your resume. You would nev...

Great to hear this I took classes at AR, as well as Century and it's good to hear that I can still go on to CRNA (I'm sure his grades were great). I totally agree with saying NO to an LPN as it is a WORTHLESS degree to get now in 2011 (I make more a...

Is her text smaller since she's speaking from atop that pedestal?

Yea I don't think you're going to have to worry about that......:lol2:

Can you explain why you would feel the need to chime in on a post that was made 3 months before you even read it? Having a bad day are we? :lol2::lol2::yeah::yeah: made me laugh though thanks.

My hospital pays $1,500 / YEAR. I was talking about every single class. All of my pre-reqs (Chem, Bio, Micro, AP 1, AP 2, AND ALL OF MY AA work so Speech, Geography, etc. except math because who can't test out of that) All of it, zero debt. I pay ...

I feel like this is a saying that catches on with the students in your class that you know aren't going to be a good fit for a nursing career. The ones with little or no patient care experience but they are dead set on becoming a nurse! ($$$!) Thes...

I agree Isabelle, you work there for 6 months, only to be fired in your first 24 hours of un-assisted employment? Seems like we're not getting the whole story. If we are -- then that's really sad.

I am going the same route, I will be a DEBT FREE ADN-RN w/ my AA degree. My views on why people pay exorbitant tuition -- they aren't good enough students to get into a cheaper program. Many of the programs around here that are private (Some of them...

Maybe you should look into a different career path Abbaking. If you can't be bothered to be quiet-something that takes less energy than being loud-for your patients' benefit, you have no place in nursing. Sleep is essential to healing and feeling w...

So you were accepted to the actual nursing program based on your high school record, and AP credits earned. Plus you have to finish two years before you begin your program. Does this mean you have 2 years pre-nursing and 2 years nursing? This soun...

I too want to know how these 18 year old kids out of High School were accepted into a nursing program to start immediately with no pre-requisite work. Around here, you NEED to have all of your science classes (Bio, Chem, Microbio, A&P I & II...

Just say no to Rasmussen.

I was awarded a Spring semester start for Century, I was given #55 on the waitlist for Fall start to begin with, just to help anyone I can :). This letter was mailed to me over a month ago though so it's old news. Hopefully 50 people drop out so I ...

So my program requires this class be completed before or concurrently with my first semester. I was planning on just testing out of the class, thus receiving the credit on my transcript and not having to take the class (just useless busywork when I ...

Isn't this how everyone reads, all the time?

I haven't taken any classes at NHCC but I did apply to their program once. When I tried to apply for a second time, they attempted to re-charge me for a bunch of fee's that I had payed the prior cycle. When I questioned them about the fees they gre...
