Thank you for sharing! I'm starting Pharmacology in 2 weeks, and I've no doubt that these will come in very handy throughout the semester.

Just wanted to say congrats again to all of you who got into RSCC for this Fall. I just got my letter of acceptance in the mail today from WSCC for admission this fall into their nursing program. It wasn't my first choice, yet their program is one of...

WOW...a 3.75 and you didn't get in? Looks like I'll be re-taking some classes this summer and Fall to bring my 3.5 up to a 4.0. I noticed Jonead6 commented having gotten in with a 3.25, so I'm curious what exactly is the basis for selection, as are s...

I got my letter...I did not get accepted. Alas, I can only assume that having had a 3.39 GPA and B's in my A&P classes cost me my chance. Fortunately, I still have WSCC left to hear from. Fortunately, my current 3.5 GPA will be considered, as wil...

Congratulations TNVols....that is awesome:w00t:

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I only wish they'd used our grades this semester, as my GPA was 3.39 last semester and now 3.5. It's hard to say what they look for when they consider applicants. All you can do is your best and the rest is out of y...

I'm in the same boat. I had to go back through my email to make sure my application went through. It did, so now it's just a waiting game. Am curious to see what others have to say.

That is a very good question. I just read up on the acceptance terms to the program. It said acceptance is based on making a C or better in Science courses, yet it doesn't clarify if after being accepted, whether you can have made a D or not. As well...

I emailed several of the main people in charge of the program last week regarding my Spring grades, as I knew I'd be making all A's. Unfortunately, each one confirmed that the Spring semester would NOT be factored into their decision, as these grades...

Kate, Thank you for replying back so quickly. Hmm...that works for me. I've a total of 61 hours right now, not including this semester, so hopefully that will help. Previously, I mentioned getting extra points for extra credit hours, yet I forgot th...

Such an exciting time for all of us who have applied. Did any of you apply to other schools as well? I've applied to RSCC, LMU, WSCC, and PSCC, just to play things safe. I'd read on previous posts last year that some students had only applied to one ...

Hi Carrie...I wanted to stop by and check to see how things have progressed for you with the TN BON. Have you gotten to take your NCLEX exam yet? I hope all is going well for you.

Thank you : ) That gives me hope! I look forward to hearing what happens for you and will be keeping you in my thoughts.

Esclark- it sounds like all will be fine; however, TraumaRus is correct in noting that we are not qualified to really tell you what is best. One thing you can do that will help immensely is to contact your state's BON and ask how the incidents will a...

it will not let me message you because I've not posted 15 posts yet. My email addy is easy though.....It is my user name on here plus "@ aol.com". I definitely look forward to hearing what happens and am excited for you. I've a really strong feeli...

I live in Knoxville, TN as well and am in the same position as yourself. I've contacted the TN BON and have found that they are VERY difficult to get any information from prior to enrolling as a nursing student. With several misdemeanors on my record...

Carrie- mine are misdemeanors. Interestingly, I believed that only the DUI was on my record, as I'd had everything else expunged. Unfortunately, I found out days ago that the expungements had yet to be filed, so I'm taking care of all of that now. I'...

Carrie- I live in TN as well and am freaking out on my end. I'm unclear what your charges were; however, mine are pretty serious. Fortunately, they are from nearly 10 years ago and both of which I can explain to the BON. I called them yesterday and s...

I am currently enrolled at Roane State and am hoping to apply for the the nursing program for Fall of 2012. As the time draws nearer, I am working to get things lined up and exams taken so that my application process will go smoothly; however, I am f...

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. I already spoke with them about it and they did say that it would be the Hesi A2. I believe I've seen that book on Amazon. I'll check it out. Thanks again! : )

I appreciate the advice...If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of the review guide? I didn't realize they have one for sell in the bookstore. The review guide I purchased is for the PAX exam which it turns out I will not be taking. While ...

Thanks Dee! I appreciate the advice. I talked with the Dean's secretary. She informed me that they will be scheduling Fall test dates and that I should expect an email alerting me of those dates once they've been scheduled. YAY! I'm just glad I didn'...

I am currently enrolled at Roane State and am hoping to apply for the the nursing program for Fall of 2012. As the time draws nearer, I am working to get things lined up and exams taken so that my application process will go smoothly; however, I a...

If I had to choose, I'd pick Roane State because they're program is well liked in the medical field. Pellissippi's program is quite new. It was just approved in 2009. I picked Roane State to attend for nursing because out of all the colleges to choos...
