  1. UWF, PSC, Northwest Florida applicants?

    I'm starting the PSC nursing program in May. I did not apply to UWF, but probably will for
  2. They just sent out letters for the May 2013 class, which hasn't even started orientation yet. I suppose the letters for August will go out some time in the
  3. Any career switchers starting in the Fall?

    I worked in social services before I became a mom and was lucky enough to be able to stay home with my daughter. I have not worked outside the home in years. So yes, I am changing my career. I'm...
  4. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    I just got my official acceptance for the May 2013 class. I posted earlier in this thread that I was supposed to begin in the Fall, but I was notified that I was an alternate for this upcoming summer...
  5. You are a people pleaser to the point of apologizing to someone who wrongfully accused you of cheating and gave you an F on a practical for it? You might want to work on that. I'm not trying to be...
  6. All your eggs in one basket, anyone?

    Yes, I put all my eggs in one basket—and they are all safe, no cracks. :-) I hope you get into the school of your
  7. Timing

    I didn't have a calculator to use for the HESI. The testing center told me ahead of time there would not be one, but that they would supply scrap paper, which they did. However, don't go by my...
  8. Downplaying Enthusiam

    I see the original post was written last year, but I can relate. When I decided I wanted to go to nursing school and I started taking pre-reqs, I didn't tell anyone outside my immediate family (my...
  9. Why did you choose your nursing school?

    The school I picked fit me for a variety of reasons including, cost, location, academic requirements and program specifics. There were other programs that fit in some or most of those criteria, but...
  10. Timing

    When I took the test the time alloted was for all the sections I had to take. I also could choose what order I took the sections. The clock started at the first section I chose and kept going until I...
  11. Day OF test. What did you do?

    I took the test relatively early in the morning. So I woke up, had breakfast and went to the testing center. —Not much time for worrying or anything
  12. 2.5 gpa hello will i get into nursing school

    ADN programs are often just as competitive as BSN programs. I wouldn't say it's impossible. But I'd say it's not likely, unless you choose a program that puts emphasis on other criteria besides GPA....
  13. My school will not put you on a candidates list for a seat unless you have completed the pre-reqs, taken the entrance exam and have the scores/grades they are looking for. It varies by school, as...
  14. If you go someplace like Hunter and you need chemistry, then, yeah...you'll need to be decent at math. They have a great math tutoring lab though. Most schools have math resources of some sort or...
  15. The last dose has to be six months after the first. If you get the first shot right away, I think you will be able to get the last shot in the first week of September. Check with your doctor if that...
  16. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    I am due to start nursing school in August, but I just got a letter that I am an alternate to start in May. I don't know what number I am or how likely it is that I will get a seat early like this but...
  17. Interview with "Inappropriate" Questions

    It is so awkward when employers ask questions that they clearly shouldn't. I remember some years ago I chose not to fill out a "voluntary" part on an application regarding my race. I'm not sure why it...
  18. 2 weeks notice!!

    I love to read positive experiences like this. Thanks for sharing and good luck in your new
  19. HESI Help!!

    I've said this before but yeah, A&P is random. I actually took the HESI the same week I took my A&P II final, so the subject was pretty fresh in my mind. I don't know how I would have done had...
  20. Stats Prereq

    Stats is a pre-req for the nursing program here, too. Fortunately for me, I had already taken it for my BA. But I still remember how tricky that class was for me. Statistics is the only class in my...
  21. Straight A's in Science prereqs?

    I got straight As in my pre-reqs. I'm not sure how much I studied. Certainly NOT hours per day. However, I did stay organized and on top of the game. That is to say, I made sure not to fall behind. I...
  22. 4/5th try and passed! My story!

    Wow, congrats! That's so awesome how you kept trying! Best wishes to you as an
  23. Jealous much?

    I keep it vague, like "I passed." or "I did ok." I never had anyone push for specifics. This isn't about me dealing with bad attitudes against me due to grades. This is about dealing with issues of...
  24. I'm not going to lie...

    For me, I have a BA already. I am getting my ADN from a college that requires all the same pre-reqs as the local university BSN program plus FIVE semesters in the nursing program. IOW, there isn't...
  25. My experience of nclex and FAILED

    I'm so sorry! Just don't give up. Like a PP poster suggested, it probably isn't good to be fasting when taking a huge exam. Eat well next time before the exam. I understand that some people fast and...
