Hi guys!! I'm taking a 5 week MicroBio class that just started today... Lab and class 4 days a week! I really hope I can do this ~ I'm terrified but it's my last science pre-req and I hear from the BSN program in October for Spring start! We can do t...

Woohoo!! Congratulations on your two acceptance letters! I just turned in my application for Bethel University, but won't hear back until October since the only have a Spring start date. I hope to be as happy as you, come October! Good luck on hearin...

It's true, a C average won't get you into nursing school, but I've never heard someone say "Well, I am not smart so I guess I'll just go into nursing school!" It takes so much time/effort to even get into a nursing program, and then to stay in it! I ...

Hi Guys! I will be filling out my application for the BSN program at my school, and I won't hear back until OCTOBER! How long of a crazy wait is that?! They only have Spring start dates, so it takes awhile to hear back. I really hope I get in. I appl...

Coming from a CNA that works as a HUC/NST in Labor and Delivery at a hospital, I would say CNA! The job opportunities here in Minnesota for a CNA in a hospital setting go QUICK, so if you want a job in a hospital... apply, apply every day if you have...

Hi! I recently got a job as a CNA at a hospital here in the Twin Cities. The position is for an NST/HUC (pretty much the same thing as a CNA, lots of responsibilities everywhere) and I can agree with most of what everyone is saying. For me, I wasn't ...

Heya! I joined Phi Theta Kappa because it looks good on your resume, and not only that, but I get an extra 1000$ per year as a PTK scholarship. It might not sound like much, but every bit helps! Totally up to you, but the 75$ I spent inititally has p...

Hey guys! I wrote in a here a week or so ago with no response so I thought I'd try again! I have a 3.5 GPA at my current Community College, trying so desperately to get into their Nursing program, but they do not look at anything but "points" and GPA...

I'm literally just going to apply to the same school, every semester, until I get that Biology class done for the other schools. Just seems like a long wait, but I'm in it for the long haul :)

Oh yes, I am doing pre-reqs for Nursing already. I plan on taking Physiology this summer (required for most anyway) Biology in the Fall, and Micro Biology in Spring 2013 while I'm waiting. The PA program is not as high demand as RN programs and my do...

I too, love seeing people post about waiting :) I am playing the waiting game currently! I was denied for Spring 12, hoping for Fall 12. I do feel as though I don't have a chance, with Fall being a greater number of students applying and with much hi...

It's difficult applying to other schools because I do not have all the pre-reqs done for all those schools. 8-12 schools?! There's not that many around here lol. I wish! I only have to the pre-reqs done for Normandale and if I wanted to apply anywher...

Hello guys and gals :) I am a pre-nursing student trying to apply to a few colleges. I applied to my current school (Normandale Community College) and was not accepted, lots applying! Does anyone recommend any schools in particular? :) I have taken...

Thanks Heidi!! I think I will take Bio then Micro, just to get my bases covered!! I hope you keep me posted on how well you are doing in Nursing school, so envious right now!! :) That stinks SO bad that you had to retake Biology ... UGH! I would have...

Hey Heidi! Not sure how I missed your comment!! So sorry! Thank you VERY much for your helpful and kind information. I applied to the program at Normandale for this Fall, but my GPA is .06 less than it was last semester so that is disheartening. I w...

Hey all! So - after many years of taking a break from school because I couldn't decide what to do, I am back at it (about 2 years in) and need to figure out what to do! I really want my BSN for Nursing but I am finding out how difficult it is to get ...

Hey all! I also posted this in the MN forum but wanted to spread it out to this one as well! So - after many years of taking a break from school because I couldn't decide what to do, I am back at it (about 2 years in) and need to figure out what to...

THANK YOU! This is exactly what I needed to read :) I am going to sit down tonight after my studies, and seriously label the pros and cons of each and see which is better! I most likely will be sticking with just the one course so I can focus on maki...

Hello everyone :) I am only taking one class in the Spring 2012, this means my loans come out of deferment and I have to start paying them back, gasp!!! I will be a full time student next Fall 2012, though, so I won't have to pay them long. My qu...

Also, Snickers21, Do you have recommendations for which books to get? There seems to be a lot of books out there :) Any knowledge or recommendations would greatly appreciated :) Thank you!

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to the forums and have so many questions... but I will start with one question :) I am a student (29 years old, finally deciding what I would like to do!) and have almost all my generals done for ADN requirements at the ...

Now THAT is dedication!!! That is a great idea!! I am going to do this :) I'm also going to start looking over the NLN questions again, since I did not do so well on that test and plan to retake it in the summer time. I'm seriously going to head to t...

Plasmatix!! Thank you for that sincerely awesome response :) I think you (and the person that posted after you) are correct. Retaking a class at this point for an A, is a bit ridiculous. Now, I did drop that C class because I know I can do better and...

Where do you live and what program!? I am applying to as many good schools as I can and I love to hear what schools other pre-nursing/nursing students are going! :)

I posted before but, I am 29, not yet in the RN program and going for my BSN :) I probably will be in my mid 30's by the time I finish! I might even go for NP so, LOTS of school. It is never ever too late, it doesn't matter what anyone else says beca...
