If you don't mind me asking, where did you work in South Georgia, and where do you work now?

Awesome, thank you! And congratulations on the job :)

Stacey30, do you remember what you said for the first critical thinking question? I think I have my answer but I guess I'm not really sure what they want to hear or what not :-) Any help from anyone else would be appreciated to the first question: W...

I think my average was a 77. I got into the BSN. Just depends how good everyone else does of your chance getting in.. if they go off a point system.

I just got accepted to a BSN program. I don't know definite times for classes, as we do not find out our schedule until Nursing orientation 3 days before the semester starts (kinda weird). But I emailed the assistant director and we will be doing cla...

We had to have our apps and testing complete by February 15th. I found out May 13th that I got accepted! Good luck!

Wow it sounds like you've had quite a ride. In my opinion, I say go for it. I don't have the background like you do (no children, no degree yet) but it sounds like, for right now, that nursing school would be the best option. And by the sounds of you...

I had high school chemistry (10th grade). If you take chem, and start the basics, then take the TEAS test while you are in chem, I think you will be fine. I never took chem in college for nursing school and the TEAS test was still confusing on the ch...

Check if your school has a grade forgiveness type of thing for classes you get a D in. If not, I was told when I asked about retaking classes, that you have to go to a different school that accepts the transfer credit and then retake it there. Either...

I just replied to a post exactly like this.. and I will repeat myself. Don't let what you hear about all the horrid paperwork and awful doctors and cranky families scare you away from what you want to do. If you were passionate about becoming a nurse...

I'm from Florida and there was an Adult Education center that had CNA classes. And definitely through a community college or better yet a technical school. I was a CNA for 4 years and finally got to quit to focus on nursing school. I LOVED it don't ...

Science classes matter most, in the end. If you are neck and neck with another student about to be accepted, they will look at science grades for the final answer. I got maybe 2 C's in my gen. ed classes and the rest A's and B's in sciences and math ...

I find it so funny that once you get accepted, all you want to do is stuff for nursing and stuff to start school. I got accepted for Fall too and it starts in mid-August... therefore I have over 2 months. I want to start NOW but I need to realize tha...

Does this mean... what do you think about keeping a dying patient alive as long as possible? That is kind of what it means to me.

Yeah and when I said about being "older" I meant like over 50 older. A woman I used to work with was going back to school for her RN and she was 52. And she would make a GREAT nurse. I sit and pout on how everyone I graduated high school with have t...

I think it just came to me. And that is one thing I don't get. Why let someone else influence and/or determine what you want to do? Sure you can listen to all the crap they talk about their jobs and how they get the short end of the stick from CNAs t...

I don't see a problem with it either. Yeah, someone may have wanted it more that was one spot away from getting it, but hey I guess they should have tried harder? I believe if anyone needs a "fall back" career, nursing is the way to go. She seems bri...

Only one person can use it because if you take the practice test, you cant retake it. You can only do it once. I bought the study manual along with two practice tests. I think it definitely prepared me better than not doing anything at all. I scored ...

I just got accepted to the BSN program at CCGA. You don't need the regents exam to get in or to graduate at least if you are a transfer student with qualifying SAT and ACT scores (that is me). Last post was in April but is anyone else attending? Or ...

I know how you feel. I am 21 and notice all my friends graduating with Bachelors degrees. And I am sitting here with 2 years left. But, I like to think about all the *older* (saying this in the nicest way possible) people that are going to school wit...

I've been a CNA for the past 4 years and just got accepted to the BSN program. That acceptance letter was like a ticket to actually quit my job. Being a CNA is not easy. The physical aspect, and in some facilities the mental aspect. DONT overdo it! I...

I despised the way some nurses did their work at the nursing home I just recently used to work at. So, I am glad to see that I will have an open mind starting nursing school. I am going there to learn. Those teachers know a lot more than I do, so the...

I had the same predicament. I applied to the ADN program at one school and didn't get accepted. I had all my pre reqs done and everything. I got declined twice from that school and got fed up so I switched schools. I saw they had a BSN program that w...

I got the rough outline of the next two years for the BSN program I am about to start in the fall. It says we only go Fall, Spring, Fall, Spring... which is hard to believe. Totally thought there would have been a Summer thrown in there. But hey, I'm...

I agree. If you don't have to work that much, then don't. Do they have a PRN position open there or somewhere else in the hospital? Even if it's not where you want to work, you still have that connection within the system. And you can transfer. I say...
