I have been accepted into the ADN program for Spring 2013...currently taking all the courses I can to get them out of the way. Anyone want to start a thread here to help each other along?

Following! What did you find out?

I could have written this post! Exactly the same position! I love it!! Except I have not bought new shoes for the OR yet...what did you end up buying? XP's?

Update: Passed!!

I am right there with ya! I took it yesterday at 2:00 and it shut off after 75 questions...waiting *patiently* for QR!

43 with 4 kids. I think being a parent HELPS tremendously with the skills required.

Just checking in! First test next week in 104 and we get to go to our clinical sites! The really good stuff is happening in lab, and even though it IS a LOT of material, it's still exciting and fun! How are y'all doing?

Here we go!!! I'm so excited!! Just gotta wrap up this semester, then it's FUN damentals!

We got our unknowns last night! So far I have it narrowed down to a gram positive cocci.

Yep, I'm in Mt. Pleasant! Where is your daughter in school?

I am also in nursing school, starting clinical rotations in the Spring and here's what I'm asking for (or have already recieved): Littmann's Master Classic II with personalization (in-laws already sent :)) Palm Pilot or I Phone for nursing software...

Yeah, but I don't think she can get in a BSN program with her past grades. I would go the ADN route, which still isn't easy! Getting in will be easier but staying in will not! She should take them one at a time if she has to and make it a goal to ...

I am also in my early 40's and have not had a college class in over 15 years! I got A's in both A&P I and II. I had my kids drill me on the anatomy part and my prof was very good at using analogies for the physiology. I recalled most of this s...

Where will you do a midwifery program? The one at MUSC closed!? I already have a bachelors, so, my best bet is to stick with the ADN at Tech then do a RN-BSN, right? I do want to continue on to be a APN too. I'm thinking NP....Good luck to you! ...

Yep, me too. Second class tonight. It's fascinating! I'm taking Micro and Public Speaking, the last two classes before I start clinical in the Spring. I must have had some micro in high school, because I've seen this material somewhere before...s...

Taking Micro and Public Speaking this Fall to begin the program in the Spring. So far the classes I've taken seemed easy, but did require putting in the time. The one that jumps out as "hard" would be Pharmacology. That was a LOT of information i...

Just checking in! I'm still super excited!! Good luck to y'all that start in just a few days! Updates: I got my BLS at the MUSC community training center...I'm wondering if I should look into the ACLS class? Maybe you've noticed that Publix has...

I took the PAX RN last Spring. I already have a bachelors degree, but taking the test allowed me the quickest route to applying. I start the program Spring 2013. I thought the test was kind of hard but I got a 99% (not a raw score, but based on th...

I am all lined up to begin a 5-semester ADN program in the Spring. I know I want to eventually be an advanced practice RN. I also have a bachelors degree, not in nursing (this is a second career for me). I am thinking about applying to an Accelerat...

Just did the same thing! I am thrilled to be in the in-patient cardiology! Following the addage to dress for the position you want, I'd pretty much stick to what you will have to wear in the hospital to volunteer. In my case, it's black or khaki p...

This is a great time to pick up used books and equipment for a fraction of the price! I've had good luck on craigslist, and my campus buy/sell-a-book page. Best wishes!

@Kahlil'sMommie: I've heard that it is not unusual to be offered a seat in the semester before the one you are guaranteed, as people drop out or don't get it all together by the time their seat comes up....maybe hold out hope for that?

Great! Let's get this going! So, this Summer I am signed up for Bio211 (Anatomy & Physiology II) and NUR 105 (Pharmacology) online. I took the Dosage test the first day of Maymester and got 100 so I dropped that class. Now I need to add a cla...
