I was speaking of the one here in St. Louis. Are you just starting this fall at DCN or was this summer your first semester? Kelly

Just a quick poll. Do your nursing instructors give back your tests and if not do they at least allow you to see your test after so that you can see where you are weak? In my current nursing class you are not allowed to keep or view the entire test b...

Thanks to everyone who replied. You input was very helpful! Kelly:)

Cheri, I saw that in the mail a few days ago, but to be fair at least two of the local (St. Louis) nursing programs are charging over $510 a credit hour so the DCN rate is still in line. As far as I can tell only the community colleges are lower than...

I usually take notes even though I am recording, so I try to type from my notes and fill in the blanks from the recording. I still have to listen to the whole recording, so it takes just over an hour per hour of recording by the time I type my notes...

I am a Nursing student and my Microbiology spoke so fast that I went out and bought the Olympus digital recorder at Target. I didn't get the software to convert it to text since so many of the words used in Micro are unusual. After each lecture I j...

Angela Congratulations!! I look foward to meeting you! :balloons: Carly, don't give up! I still have my fingers crossed for you! Kelly

carly, no, every nursing school, online or not, has a set amount of students that they allowed to take. if i understood them correctly, deaconess is trying to increase their number to accommodate more applicants and this increase would require the s...

I just spoke to DCN admissions and specifically asked if they were waiting for state approval to add 20 more students to their program. They said yes that is what they are waiting for and that they didn't know even which way it was leaning. Kelly:)

I think Marci makes an excellent point. They probably don't want to tell people "no" until they have confirmation that all accepted will attend. Kelly

I plan to go to DCN to drop off my packet today, I will ask when I go in. Kelly:)

just wanted to let you know that i called dcn admissions yesterday because i still haven't received my packet yet. i asked them what was happening with their "experimental program" where they plan to add 20 more students, and i was told that they st...

Halfprice.com (affliated with ebay) has some good prices. Kelly:)

Thanks for the update! Kelly

I look forward to meeting you too, maybe we can work on our "happy dance" steps together! Kelly:wink2:

Thanks Cheri! I hope to meet you too! I'm sure I will be asking you for advice in the future. You were so kind to answer my questions when I was just thinking about the program. Kelly:)

Thanks everyone, all of your support is so appreciated!:)

I just got a call, and I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance too!! If anyone else hears please let us know!:) :balloons: Kelly

It's now after 7:00 did you or your friend (or anyone) get a phone call?

This is so funny just two hours ago I called them again. I had spoken with them a few times about both their day and Weekend/evening programs. The W/E program requires that you have more math than I currently have and a statisics class completed on...

I forgot to mention that when I called yesterday I asked again about the FAll start and mentioned that I knew of someone who started last fall. I was told that they used to have a fall start but were no longer offering it because of clinical saturat...

I called yesterday afternoon and was told that the Dean of Admissions was out of the office and that the committe hadn't met yet. If you don't get accepted for Summer 05, who here plans on applying for Jan 06?:wink2: Kelly

I can't speak for anyone else but I did look into a couple of PN programs, one at the CC only starts once a year in January so I missed this by a couple of Months...I know Jan 06 isn't that far off, but the PN program takes a full year at the CC and ...

Your sweet to tell me that! What do you think may have made the difference for you? Could it be your location in reference to the clinical sites?

Cheri, This is soooo interesting because when I spoke with DCN in January I told them that I want to apply for the fall start. We spoke about when I would want to have my application in by etc. I was told to wait until after March to apply because ...
