Hello! I have not started the lpn program yet but I am applying for a part time lpn program at a local community college. I'm excited and nervous. The wait of knowing if I got in is killing me. I won't know anything until March of next year.

I'm sorry you weren't able to start this year!! We will be classmates next year!! how many nights out of the week does your friend go to class? That's the only thing I'm worried about, kind of. I just really want to work full time but I just may have to go to part time.

I'm glad I ran into this today!! Thank you. Are you getting your RN now? I hope your doing well and keeping it going.

I literally just applied last week for the part time weekend program for next June. I just passed the teas v for the program last week as well. Now I'm just waiting on the acceptance letter in February. Do you all have classes every weekend? Congrats on getting in the program!!!!

Hello, I am currently applying to Hinds part time weekend program! I really pray I get in. How are classes going for you all? I'm so nervous and I'm sure I will be for the next 7 months.

I love this post!!! Thanks so much for your response. Hopefully more people will give more information. I really desire to move to Dallas after completing nursing school.

Thank you so much for your help and great advice. I really appreciate this post I'm thinking about applying to my local accelerated program. I'm currently taking classes to get a 3.0 hopefully I get accepted if not I will just continue taking classes and boosting my gpa as much as possible.

I'm curious how did it end up working out? I'm just now looking into air force nursing. I got a lettor in the mail saturday. It sparked my interest a bit but I haven't even started nursing school yet.

I probably should have used other words in my title. I wasn't looking for odds on getting into the lpn program that I am applying for, I was asking in general how would it look bad that I retook the act and scored low even though I already had a substantial score on my act. Thanks so much for the help from everyone though. I am going to wait awhile and study and try to get into school next year. I'm going to study and retake my ACT and Teas V. :)

I'm trying to get into a lpn part time program and I know they get alot of apps. I signed up for the residual act because my math score was not high enough but I have a composite score 23. Well, the school contacted me and told me I only needed to take the teas v. Since I had already paid for the residual I went ahead and took it. I did really bad. I got a 18 composite score and a 15 in math. Way worse than the first time. Will this look bad to the reviewers? Do I still have a chance? I have to really do well on the teas v but I'm so bad at math and I freeze up on the test because I realize how I need the test. If I don't do well on my teas v on Jan. 20 I have to wait an entire year to apply again.

I'm so glad you posted this I've been thinking idk if I want to be in the hospital whenever I finish nursing school. BUT I haven't even started yet so my mind may change while in clinicals.

I'm glad it went well!!

It really wasn't. You will be fine. The way they explained it when we got I started the ota program was getting a interview means they already are interested in you. Did you read the other post under Mississippi about their holmes interview this past spring?

Oh my, when did holmes start having a interview in the process? I got in about 3 years ago and didn't have to interview but I also got in their occupational therapy assistant program last year I did interview for it. It was formal yet laid back. It was only the director and her assistant and they asked question about scenarios and how I would handle them and why I wanted to be in the program. I also had to write a essay 30 minutes before the interview while I waited. Which nursing program is it, ridgeland or grenada?

Yes! This is what I needed to hear.

That's the exact thing I want to do as well but if I get in the at our local University I'm gonna stop working and take it because that opportunity doesn't come around often.

I swear it crosses my mind DAILY. Ienvision myself doing so much as a nurse. I had a baby finished my undergraddegree in pre occupational therapy went to ot school for 3 months and quitbecause it was too hard working 12 hour night shifts and going to school 8hours every day. I want to become a nurse because it really fits me but...idkhow or when especially with the 2 year old, bills, and time but I want it. It'sto the point nothing else even interests me. I loved the set schedule that thenurses at the hospital I worked at had, but I was a prn monitor tech that wastreated like crap from my nursing manager. so off the subject sorry lol butreally I wrote to my local university and I plan on contacting the communitycollege with weekend and night programs to see if I could apply for it in about2 years but I gotta have it or die trying lol. I'm in a MBA program to keep mymind going but I'm probably going to end up leaving it when I get accepted tothe rn program or when it's time to take my gmat. I can save that money for mynclex. Sorry for ranting.

Hello, I have been accepted into a program and I already have my bachelors degree. I am trying to see how do I pay for this. I went to a financial aid officer but she didn't want to talk to me and gave me a loan application and sent me out of her office. I am going to an orientation at our local WIN job center to see if I qualify for the WIA program but i don't think I do. What advice do you all have for paying for a 2nd degree? Thanks for your help.

hi!! I was sort of in your shoes but I wanted to become a nurse practitioner in orthopedics instead of going to occupational therapy school. The lines were entirely too long for nursing school plus my heart wasn't there. I decided to go ahead and go to occupational therapy assistant school (2 years) after I finished my degree. I finished my degree last year and I am starting the ota program in August. In my opinion its better to go this route since I already had a degree and family. After I work as a cota for a year I can bridge over to mot(master's in ot) online while working in a 16 month program. Hope I could help.

Hi there! so how is the program going?

lol gee wiz, you scared her off.

aweee, this makes me smile :) congrats

oh my, this scares me. especially since i'm about to get my adn first.

i feel this way at least twice a week. Then I realize if others have done it before me then I can do it too. i also think, Its takes a 8- to pass..I stopped trying the all A thing(I was a all A student in high school and my first year in college). My goal now is to get RN,MSN,DNP behind my name with hardwork and dedication. :) It'll get better and pay off in the end, just remember why your doing it.

congrats but that is sooo far away! you could have a bsn by then!! you could put a child through college and they find a job by then. lol do you have any other options?
