I took the TEAS V yesterday, was paper based. I registered so late, it was hard to find study materials, so I really have no one to blame but myself... I am 100% positive I NAILED the reading and English portions. I have a BA in English and have jus...

We could write in the booklet, were encouraged to. No calculators allowed, or scrap paper. I got my scores..they are "ok" I am slightly above the minimum required by my school, so I am not out totally, but if a lot of people did better than me... I ...

Got my rejection letter yesterday from Umass Dartmouth. I knew it was going to happen. I was 90%sure I wouldn't get in, but I guess I was still holding on to that 10% hope. I applied way too late and my GPA is decent but not what I would call "comp...

There are 3 other schools I didnt apply to because they all were about an hour drive each way. I am not willing to do that right now, with gas prices as they are, seeing as I would have to also cut my work hours way back.

That is frustrating. I start to feel bitter about how easy it is for kids right of high school to get right into a 4 year nursing program, but I already have a BA degree and have to deal with getting pre-reqs done if I want to transfer my gen curricu...

I applied for the LPN because I figured why not. I have a Bachelor's degree already, but in English and now I decided to go for nursing. I applied at Umass Dartmouth and Rhode Island College...RIC said it has some pre-reqs. but Umass doesn't, unless ...

Yeah, it was ****. He was very informative. Like I said, I knew I had zero chance of getting into the Nursing program, so I was there for the OTA which I actually think I have a good shot of getting into. I plan on doing that and if I like it, great,...

I have absolutely no worries about the reading/writing portions. I am an English major. No worries. Science and Math, however, I am worried. Only because I have been out of high school for over 15 years and the only math or science courses I was requ...

I went to the Infor session last night. I did not apply for this coming fall because of my lack of pre-reqs, but I did apply to the OTA program which I hope to get into for now and see what happens. (its actually my plan C if no other schools want me...

You are not alone!! You CAN do this! I am 35, married with 3 kids and work full time. I went back to school in 2006 and graduated in 2010 with my BA in English. I went to school full time, worked full time and had the kids and a marriage. it was SO H...

omg I am going through the same emotions right now! One minute I think, how can I NOT get it? and the next I am thinking this is ridiculous that I am even trying!!!

Hey there, I am also in MA with a non-nursing degree (BA/English). I wanted to go for nursing in the first place, but I foolishly let people talk me out of it. I had people telling me that jobs are hard to find, or that Nursing is too hard, too gros...

I know quite a few nurses...and some of them I always felt are not that bright. So it makes me think..if THEY can pass a Nursing program and actually get jobs as nurses..then surely I can too! I have already been through a full college experience whi...

I just finished applying. Now I have to just sit and wait. The "official" deadlines for all the places I applied to was between March31-Apr15th or so, but the reccomended deadlines were all Jan31-feb1st. I didn't really decide to GO FOR IT!! until Fe...

I tell everyone I know that I plan on going to nursing school and rather than be happy, most people say "Oh..its hard to find a job in nursing right now, why dont you look into phlebotomy/CNA/Med assisting" (or anything else health related) SO then f...

I am not doing a very good job at getting my point across. I am saying that I want to be a nurse. And for the first time in my life, I am not going to let other people sway me from what I want to do. I am agreeing that the "no jobs" thing is not a go...

Thanks guys, but no, I dont want to be a techer, which is why I have switched gears into nursing. I am sorry my post wasnt clear. I was just needing a place to vent...Ive had a lot of people just tell me not to be a nurse because there are no jobs. A...

I am supposed to take in on the 29th. The school I am applying to said they have the books but when I called they said they were out. My Barnes and Nobles doesnt have it, the library's are all in use and I really can't afford it anyway off the ATI we...

Ive made a few posts throughout the forums. I guess I am just nervous and anxious to talk to others. lol Anyway, I have a BA in English but decided to switch gears and go for nursing now. I am 35, married with children and finished my first degree wh...

Thanks, the 2 schools I applied to which had a second degree accelerated program both had Anatomy and Phsyiology I and a College level Chem pre requisite. Since I was an English major, I never had a reason to take those before Its something to think...

I sent out my application to a local LPN program. the "priority" deadline was Jan 31st. I mailed it yesterday, post office said they would most likely get it today (pretty local). I am hoping I am not too late. I mean, Jan 31 isnt THE deadline, just ...

I am thinking of starting the CNA course, and working as a CNA while I take my nursing Pre-reqs. I am hoping if I do this I can work 3rd shift. I have kids and daycare is an issue, so working 3rd shift would solve that problem. But it would also crea...

I dont have advice or suggestions. I just wanted to let you know I am right there with you. I have a BA degree in English. My intention was to continue on with my Master's and teach Special education. I have a soft spot for people with intellectual a...

Hello all, I am new here :) I currently hold a BA degree in English. My intention was to become a teacher in Special Education. When I first went back to school (I am 35 now, married with children) 8 years ago, I wanted to go for nursing. But I chick...
