Anyone here applying to the new ADN program at Sumner College?? I am currently studying to take the TEAS at the end of May for this new program :)

They don't have one currently but they are in the process of getting a bridge program up and running.

I was wondering if you guys would be willing to look over my essay and give me your thoughts, comments, etc. This is my first draft so I'm looking for honest opinions. The essay question is "why are you pursuing a career as a nurse?" I would be lying...

Oops. There are a few mistakes. I actually have it saved on my laptop and spoke it using a microphone onto this thread. I think that's where some of the mistakes came from. Thanks :)

Thank you very much for your honest feedback. I really like and appreciate your suggestions.

Where you accepted?? I will be taking my TEAS in two weeks. I'm getting nervous!

I will be attending the RN information session in two weeks and then taking the TEAS that same day. Do you mind me asking what score you got? I am getting really nervous.

Has anyone attended a recent RN info session? I will be attending the one on the 28th and taking my TEAS right after. I'm really hoping I score well enough to get accepted!

Hello :) I am applying to Sumner college in Portland, OR for their Associate of Applied Science Degree in Registered Nursing. Everything is looking really good and all I need to do to be accepted now is pass the TEAS V exam. I plan on going out this ...

What a great thread! I will be starting nursing school soon and plan to go in with an open mind. I have worked as a medical assistant in OB/Gyn for a few years and absolutely fell in love with OB. I am about to get a part time job in Oncology, so we ...

Hi everyone! I will be starting nursing school in the winter (woo-hoo!). My question is this, does it look bad when you are applying for nursing jobs if you "bounced around" from specialty to specialty in the past? I have worked as a medical assistan...

Thank you for replying! I just moved to the area this last weekend. I recieved a job at a local clinic as a medical assistant. I am studying to take my TEAS soon and will apply in the next few weeks, but not for the June cohort, but the follwing one,...

Hi everyone! How many schools did you apply to? I will be applying in the fall. The community college I am completing my pre reqs at is tied in with 8 other schools in my state (oregon). These schools all require the same pre reqs and have the same a...

Hoping someone can help me out. Summer term I had a cumulative gpa of 2.54. Last term I retook some classes and received a 2.50 gpa for the term. My cumulative gpa dropped to 2.53 Why would my cumulative gpa drop if I passed both the classes I took? ...

I went about 6 months ago and it was AMAZING! Everything about the exhibit was just beyond words. I'll be traveling to Las Vegas next month and they will have the exhibit there, planning on going for a second time :)

Congrats on taking this step to become a nurse. Being bilingual ALWAYS looks good. Best of luck on this chapter!

You are never too old to go for your dreams. This is my first semester doing pre-reqs and I am 23. Nursing is for the young and old :)

It is awesome to hear a success story! I know you arent in the program yet, but just what you have accomplished so far is such a huge success. Your post motivates me even more and assures me that it can be done, and I will do it :). I will be going b...

I graduted HS in 2007 and started college the following fall. I did very well in HS but my first year in college was the complete opposite. I failed out of some classes and got C's in the rest. I took a break from school and completely felt lost. I d...
