Same. The secret is: Nobody gives one ****.

Email the class above you and see if anyone will sell/loan you their copy.

Hope you're using this extended break (that all the upper classes are jealous of ? ) to start studying renal! Issa doooooozy.

Just a reminder that they send out acceptance letters in batches. And - if you get on the waiting list there is still quite a bit of hope for you. I got accepted in April with a May start and am almost halfway through the program now. Hang in there...

Biased because I am at the Fargo site and love it there. Lots of autonomy, huge variety of cases. Site coordinator is awesome. Cons would be we won't get a lot of regional, which I am not worried about - that's what the enrichment rotations will be h...

Hey, I know this is late but with interviews coming up thought I would drop my $0.02. I'm a second year student in the first semester of full-time clinicals. I really like our program. I feel extremely supported and believe our new director will lea...

Hey there! I'm an almost 2nd year at Mount Marty. The Summer semester has no tests. You will have deadlines for papers, group work, and quizzes, so you have some flexibility. You can definitely work during the Summer, although I would encourage you n...

You guys will set up a facebook group the first time you meet in real life, alternatively one of you can make one and email Kristi and have her send it out to your class.

It is a lot different than nursing school. There is more material in a shorter amount of time and you have to know it more in depth. Our grading scale is A: 93-100, B: 85-92. You are only allowed to get one C the entire curriculum - class grade, not...

So the thing with scholarships is, if you have time prior to school, go for it! But once you're in school... I recently received an email about a scholarship application but the amount of work it required for how much money it was for ($1000-$2500) w...

Seems like you are now replying just to argue. I'm not at all worried that people won't apply/go to school bc of an "early" transition. I sold my home and moved 4000 miles away to go to school. My husband still works in our home state, so we see eac...

Best thing I did for myself was...Not try to "get ahead" or study before I started school. I took a vacation and other than that saved money. We had to move across the country so we did that about 3 weeks before school started to get a routine, gym,...

Last year the waitlist deadline was april 1....and I got a call on April 14 ? Hope you hear something soon!

So I had class with ---------------------- today and he said they have not sent out all of the acceptance letters yet, just fyi.

I would say about 75% of the people interviewing brought someone with them. I brought my sister! I don't believe they look down on anyone who doesn't have someone with them though - they don't automatically assume that you have no support system if ...

I can't give you too many specific questions as I've forgotten most of them. We also have a new director this year but I believe they will still be mostly personality based. The two that I remember are "What was your biggest career achievement?" and...

Definitely. Trying to find information on this school was terrible. We have given that feedback to administration and they are planning on increasing their social media presence, although who knows when that will be.

I believe we were notified prior to Christmas but I can't remember the exact range. They'll give you that information at the beginning of the interview day - they do a kind of information Q/A session before interviews start. Time of day doesn't matte...

Hey there, I'm in MTMC's program right now, interviewed last year. Our cohort is 35 students, they interviewed just over 90. They received just over 150 applicants this year, and I assume they will interview the same. Our interview was almost complet...

One of my clinical instructors had shaky hands. She had been working for years in an acute care setting. When she had to do something like start an IV/draw blood, she'd tell her patient: My hands shake, it's just what they do! Nothing to worry about!...

I just find those phrases incredibly condescending. When I don't remember a name I use "ma'am" or "sir" until I figure out what the name is. I work in LTC and one of our rehab Pts was a former nurse. One of my coworkers once called her sweetie, and s...

Today I learned to never google a term found on AN in a public place. Thank you, Google, for bringing up pictures as well as the definition. Thank you, random person sitting next to me for getting up and MOVING SEATS. Thank you, AN, for making me fe...

This post is interesting to me, as a soon-to-be new grad (May!). I am, generally speaking, a fairly cocky little bugger. I am confident. I am not obnoxious about it, but I have confidence in myself and my knowledge. Or so I thought. Did my precepto...

Have you called the school to find out if that would be an acceptable job? They will be able to give you an exact answer and, like yourself, all we can do is guess.

If you've failed three times, a remedial course certainly couldn't hurt.
