We've got this guys! I finished my first four day week this morning. We have lecture Mondays, Nutrition and Lab Tuesdays and Clinicals Wednesday and Thursday. It's overwhelming but SO exciting too!!
I work as a CNA in a nursing home and was in the room for one death so far. It is sad, in my case the resident was in a lot of pain so it was pretty much a blessing. I'm sure we will see a lot of death throughout our careers!
My acceptance letter came today! I only applied to the school I'm attending since it was the most convenient and my grades are good. I start in the fall! Can't wait!!!

Thanks again everyone! It is a smaller community college, so that has something to do with the smaller number as well. But I'm still thrilled I made it!

This is the first semester of their new BSN program so they are starting small. Normal number accepted per semester is 26. But yes, pretty competitive this semester! Thanks!

I will turn in a application to start the program in the fall as soon as I go back for spring semester on January 13. Then I have wait for February or March to hear back....

I'm taking my last three pre-reqs: Microbiology, Statistics and Ethics. Hoping to start the program next fall! I will turn in my application this week and should hear back by February sometime. I was able to maintain my 4.0 again this last semester.

You can definitely still take the CNA class. I didn't take it right away. I just had my second interview at a large local hospital last Friday as a patient care assistant. Hoping to get good news tomorrow that I have the job! I have been working as ...

I agree that you will drive yourself crazy worrying about what you *could* have said. If it's meant to be it will be! I had a hospital interview today too! Mine was at a 489 bed hospital in the med unit. I only interviewed with a recruiter though. Re...

Applications open for us on December 3rd for next Fall start. So far I have a 4.0 GPA, and I scored 86% on the TEAS. So I'm hoping I can get in to the small group of just 16. Our school is starting a new program that allows us to obtain our BSN on ou...
Well, I took the TEAS today and managed an 86.0% Individual score. I was told by nurse friends that a good score is 80% and not many achieve that so I'm happy with that. Our application opening is December 3rd-February 1st to start next fall. The wai...

It's a rural community college but yes, small group for sure!! Normally they had been accepting 26 per semester, so it's cut by 10 for the first few semesters of this new curriculum.

Add me to the list of those putting all the eggs in one basket. I live in central MN and have been attending Ridgewater in Hutchinson. It's the most convenient school for me, and I have almost all pre-reqs done (will finish next semester). Ridgewate...

I took the TEAS today, and studied using the ATI study guide for a few weeks sporadically leading up to the exam. I was told that a good score is an 80% and that many don't get that. But reading here I see many or even most scored in the mid-high 80s...

Mine is currently 4.0 but we are wrapping up the semester soon, hoping to keep my GPA where it is and it's looking good. I'll probably be starting fall 2014 due to some changes to the program, and am attending an info session tomorrow.
MissyBee4983 replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing
I'm applying this spring with hopes to start spring 2014 as well. My school is revamping the nursing program to make it so that we can earn not just an AS but a BSN. So we are waiting on the finalization of that... Hoping soon I'll know more!!

I'm taking Anatomy this semester too, and I'm really excited about it! I LOVE my teacher, she's young and really tries hard to make it understandable and as easy as possible! It is definitely a lot of information and our first lecture exam is a week ...
So I'm taking Anatomy, Developmental Psych, Med term, and getting my CNA this semester and will apply to the nursing program in April/May!! Hoping to start spring of next year. My school works on the points system and I will have the max number of po...
