Hello, is there anyone out there that has applied for KSU's BSN program for Fall 2012? I know it is really early and the deadline isn't until Jan. 31, 2012, but just wanted to see if anyone will be playing the waiting game with me this early. I act...

Hi All, I've also been accepted for a September start!!! I scored a 93 on my HESI, I don't know what my GPA is that they used, because I don't know what classes they transferred in from my prior degree. There are about 50 questions in the math and ...

@phrozenone Not many nursing schools have a dosage calculation "class". They teach you the stuff, which is not hard. I went through the calculate with confidence book and it only took a week or so. It is very easy, especially if you understand th...

I went to the open house this past Tuesday, and met the Dean and a couple of faculty/staff members. The campus is nice and very high tech. I definitely feel that there will be an intimate feeling in the classroom. It is expensive, but also remembe...

@karamarie, Will do! I just have to figure out how, I've been having problems since the other day. Where does your friend live. The main place I work is looking for people also. It is in Roswell. The other places want 10/11pm -6/7am PRN.

Hey everyone, it's been a while. I've been busy working. Obviously I did not get in this past spring, "supposedly" they had no room to take anyone from the stand-by list. For those of you that are confused because of the conflicting information, g...

Yup...I believe u need to maintain a C average. You make A's to get into the program and C's to stay. Hopefully, I will be trying my hardest to continue to get A's if I get in.

@karamarie, Still waiting. F said that they have to wait until final exams to see if there will be any room. She sounded optimistic, and when I did a class search, there are 30-50 spots open for the classes I would need to take. So I have my finge...

@isabunny, it depends on the statistics of your competition when you apply. I know of someone with a 3.1 GPA that is almost finished with the program now. On the other hand, I know of people with 3.3 GPA's that did not even get the chance to interv...

Hey NGgirl and anyone else reading that is on standby. I talked to Fran yesterday and she said they have to wait until grades are calculated and to keep my fingers crossed. She also reiterated that there are not a lot on the stand-by list and we sh...

@danceluver, I actually don't have time to scan all those pages. It's a lot because it covers all sciences (physical and earth, chemistry, anatomy, biology, physics). If you are near a Barnes and Noble, you can go in the store and use the book to s...

@danceluver, I supplemented my science studying with the Kaplan Nursing School Entrance Exam study guide because the TEAS study guide doesn't cover a lot of science compared to what was on the test. Also, here is a link to the admissions office maili...

Definitely try the health department.

Yes I am Jamaican...LOL. I haven't started my job yet, but looking forward to it. Which school are you currently attending? Good luck on your project.

@karamarie, I wish I could say that they use a lottery system. According to F and S, they themselves have told me that they rank all the students and then select the top 140, or whatever number they decide on for that semester. However, if that was...

@karamarie, yes they told me reasons why, but I think the experience is different for everyone. Some say that the the tests are not fair, too much busy work, lots of cliques between the students, would like to focus more on hands on skills, instead ...

Thanks QTqueen, That just makes me feel better. I'm not concerned about when we find out, I just want everyone this semester to pass...LOL! That way, no one has to repeat courses, which means there will be room for us few on standby...yaye!!:monkey...

@NGgirl, Yes, we are waiting to see how the students from this fall semester do. I would assume that we should hear something at least 1 month before the semester ends. I'm pretty sure that they will be able to gauge who is failing so bad that fi...

Today I went to an urgent care facility to get a physical and drug screen for a new job (finally)! I was completely disgusted when the nurse that was taking my vitals, and testing my urine kept on covering her mouth when she coughed with the palm of...

@NGgirl, I'm on standby also. I spoke with F on Friday and she told me that she would not be sending anything out until they figure out how many students need to retake 1st semester classes (in other words....fail). She told me that there are not a...

OMG...come to think of it, she didn't wipe the counter down after she did the dip test, and also poured my urine sample into a smaller cup to be sent out for testing. She was just plain nasty!

They may want to see if you will be a good personality fit and just drill you a little more...JK! Good luck! Take ownership of the job!

I'm not in NS school yet, but just by reading through the threads on AN, I can suggest a few: patient to staff(CNA, LPN, RN) ratio, medication errors, understanding policies, what is appropriate training for staff. Once you get some ideas, then call...

GTqueen, I don't think starlite meant anything negative. On the other KSU accelerated thread, an All Nurses moderator told us not to use names or personal identifiable information because it is against the policies of the site. Please continue to p...

Nope....everything transfers over if it is over a C. And, if your GPA is over 2.0 with them transferring everything up to C's, then they will also transfer D's. It makes no sense. The overall GPA is worth 20%. But like I said.......KSU is not tra...
