Hi all, Think I'll just put it on here too. Just a little history. I was a former nursing student who unfortunately did not complete nursing school and was dismissed after a uneventful incident in clinical (honestly it was a painful 1.5 years and ca...

Hi all, So just a little history. I was a former nursing student who unfortunately did not complete nursing school and was dismissed after a uneventful incident in clinical (honestly it was a painful 1.5 years and came to realize I am not cut out to...

I got a letter saying I got an interview invite..not too much time after applying. Just would like some feedback for those who went through the interview process..what is it like? What kind of questions do they ask you..is it conversational kind of? ...

I agree, This is why I despise standardized testing. It's not a reflection of what you truly know in some cases..believe it or not, my GPA is a little bit ruined because of this. I want to go to NP school, but now I don't think I even have a shot. I ...

I totally agree with you. I don't think these tests are a reflection of what I learned. I wish they took a different approach of taking the NCLEX, like spending an hour after class drilling NCLEX style questions on us rather than making it 25% of yo...

I don't know what I am going to do, but I am drained and am in tears now, as I feel it's going to be the end of my nursing career. I am struggling in med surg, still passing the course just one point above the passing mark, but struggling. We have tw...

HAHA AMEN TO THIS!! . I'm Asian and believe me, if my parents find out that I don't treat EVERYONE with RESPECT, and make excuses in not helping someone and leave them struggling to fend for themselves when in reality we all should be helping each ot...

This first semester has been rough..really rough for me and I just don't get it at all. I got great grades in high school and college but when entering nursing school, I'm hanging on with my fingers to stay in. Not doing bad, but had to dig deep and ...

THANK YOU!!! I am in the SAME POSITION!! I entered nursing school with a 3.5 GPA and am struggling so bad! I'm already in my first semester and am already going downhill. I have gotten only 60's and 70's on all my tests (thankfully I'm still passing ...

I really needed to hear this. I had such a down week this week. Let's see...I didn't sleep over the weekend because I was so concerned in doing well, was struggling with my med evaluation, where I think I ****** off my instructors and totally blanked...

I'm a emotional wreck. I'm a 1st semester nursing student and I already feel like I'm failing. As someone who has a passion for healthcare, I'm feeling my goal is not going to be acheived..why? Because I don't have the skills to take a ***** mc test....

^The thing I is I understand the material COLD. I probably spend more time studying than the rest of my class. Heck on the last skills..I spent 5 days preparing knowing and understanding EVERYTHING, while another classmate just started studying the m...

I am getting quite crappy pharmacology grades recently and I really really need advice how to study for this course. I passed one by just 3 points and failed the other despite knowing the content in and out. I am shooting for a B/B+ and really need ...

Hi, Our class took our very first exam for our first semester today and I nearly passed..when I thought I did pretty well ! I knew the content well, but I guess I'm not used to NCLEX type questions ! I have been doing NCLEX type questions and my perf...

Who here got into the Manchester program? Or am I the only one. I got accepted in August, BUT I don't know anyone else who got in or applying to the Manchester one. Also, since Manchester does not have any dorms, I need an apartment :/. Anyone know a...

I also got accepted as well. Got the call on Thursday :). However, it is likely as of now that I will not be going there, as I got another acceptance from another school, so it's an opportunity for someone else :)

Well I did my interview..went pretty well and better than I thought. Just a writing sample and then the interview itself is very relaxed. After the interview, I got a recommendation from them and for some reason, I felt that meant I was in, and behol...

I got a interview invite for spring 2013 cohort. Anyone went through the interview process? How is it?

Did any of you get an interview? I actually decided to pospone my application to spring 2013 and got an interview invite, however I want to prepare and would like to know how the interview is like and the kind of questions they ask. Can anyone help.....

Glad it went well. I feel a bit nervous, but I hope it will be good news.

^Well ok, but have you considered there may be reasons why someone may have a lower GPA than others? It definitely does not mean they did not work hard and just took it easy. Also I know for a fact it really depends on the quality of the school and h...

I really don't think some of the above criteria listed applies to all schools, and I'm sure they do look at everything. If they only look at GPA, there's no sense in going for interviews, writing an essay..etc. Besides I know for a fact their main pr...

Debbie, I'm sure you'll be fine. Like I said before, it was just like a conversation and just be yourself. Don't worry about them throwing very hard to answer questions, they just want to see if you understand the profession and the challenges that c...

Anyone applying for January 2013? I am planning to apply that semester and am wondering if anyone else planning too? For my stats I have a bachelor's degree in biology with a 3.0 GPA (crappy I know, but this what happens when you become a Biology maj...

Emilykb, My interview was also on Tuesday and I'm sure I was after you (had 4:00 slot, which was the last one). Honestly it was NOTHING like I expected. I don't even think it was even a interview as it was more of a casual conversation. Kind of disap...
