Here is my story so far.... First I got accepted in a fine nursing school, I got pregnant my first semester and thought the best thing was to wait another year (stupid on my part) Then I came back one year later after having my first child. I told my advisor I only wanted to take ONE nursing course the first semester since this will be an adjustment but she convinced me to take TWO. During my semester they inform us we have the option to drop one class and retake it 2nd semester. I was passing but thought that would be a better idea so I dropped one class. My 2nd semester came.......I registered, I bought my books, I drove an hour to my first day of class! It wasn't until that day that I realized something BIG has happened... What I didn't understand was if you drop a course to retake second semester then you are technically reapplying to the program. They didn't reaccept me. I WAS PASSING! if i would have known the possible consequences, I would have never debated dropping that class. PLUS they didn't ever contact me to tell me I wasn't a student of theirs anymore. How worthless am I to them??? How embarrassing, right?! So I moved on even though I'm still hurt by that. I applied to another school but its a 2yr waitlist. Only 8 more months to go. But I'm so in patient. Now at this school I have an awful advisor. I set up a meeting with her two wks in advanced...she wasn't prepared for me at all and didn't direct or help me in any way. I left in tears because i was so disappointed. Now I'm trying to sign up for online/evening classes but can't get ahold of my advisor..its irritating and discouraging. I have all the prereq's done. But I want to get a start on my bachelors or a minor in SOMETHING? Anyways, anyone have advice in what to do to keep my mind off school for 8 more months?? Would anyone advize me to wait until my kids are out of daycare before going to nursing school? Its $600 a month for daycare I have some savings though for this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that a spot will open for the fall semester!!! thanks for reading...I could use some feedback please! :)

I just read this conversation and I'm curious how its going to for you now? Are you in nursing school or atleast still pursuing?

Oh I bet you'll get in, let us know! I wont find out if I'm accepted or not until August

this was very helpful! i took the teas v for the first time today and got a 81.3%! i'm very satisfied. as i look at your list, i must say that you are right on the money with a lot of it. the science was the hardest to be prepared for but somehow i did great on it. i took micro & physio last semester...so that may have helped being fresh in my mind. if anyone would like to know how i studied....i used the list from this post and really studied the teas study guide and took one of those online practice assessments. anyways, i just wanted to say thanks!
