original post from 2014, I guess things were more dire then. Landed a competitive job immediately out of school that gives all the OT i want - and believe me, i take advantage.

don't be afraid to email them. it's best not to leave these things to chance.

I'm gonna get it for the first semester for simplicity's sake; i'm in the middle of a bunch of non pre-req classes in SELU right now so i don't need even more things to worry about on top of getting all my immunizations and etc in order. I'll shop ar...

whoo took a look at the new student paperwork. gonna have to shell out for that insurance.

You took Chem 107 at SELU probably, the combo chemistry for nursing -- I had the same one.

I got in, first time applying etc. I was clearly below some of you in the alt list in terms of GPA and HESI, i can only surmise my paper, interview or background must have won them over. On a side note, I was also initially told I was unqualified, tu...

I got my acceptance today! I had 2 exam (non pre req classes) so I waited and watched the mail like a hawk. The mail lady showed up and I ran over like a lunatic. Anyway looking forward to meeting y'all. If you haven't gotten the letter yet good luck...

hopefully this week we will get them. snail mail takes forever. didn't get mine yet but the mail guy comes super early.

nothing today. maybe tomorrow. anticipation hurts.

by wednesday hopefully

this is the week.

Don't give up. Around me, univ's will not take you if you failed a class two times or more, but that is absolutely not the same everywhere (just like some require the HESI, some don't, some use your pre req GPA, some use your cumulative GPA, some ave...

I brought my GPA from a 0.7 to a 2.8 cumulative. Not that it was relevant, anyway, since all the programs in my area only care about your pre reqs and other stuff like HESI, interviews, etc. My pre-req GPA is a 3.5 since the programs also average (in...

I found A&P Lecture to be standard science fare, challenging and requiring study but not too difficult. The A&P Lab I on the other hand, well midterm was the professor handing us a blank sheet of paper and us identifying and giving functions...

Cheers, I am sitting around worried about my A&P I lab final, would really stink having to retake that course if my grade isn't up to snuff. Meanwhile sitting on straight A's in everything else, including Microbiology... I will still be taking A&...

Best bet is to ask your school(s) of choice directly. I found out from mine that I could have gone ahead and applied for Nursing school this semester even though I had a semester's worth of pre-reqs for. MY advisor never told me it was an option, hec...

It's a huge shock after school, for sure. Every manager I met likes Male nurses, but other nurses are give and take. The other males tend to be fast friends, the femmes not so much. Plus you've got the old fogies who have worked there for 5+ years an...

stick with it and keep the end in mind.

Doesn't look too bad. Depends on your math skills really - I did a similar schedule myself, took a mere 12 hours and 5 of them were math - my math skills were terrible, hadn't done algebra in 5 years, etc, so i purposefully took less hours in order t...

A&P I is much more difficult and brutal than A&P II in my experience.

Too many ADNs, not enough BSNs. ADNs who heard there was a nursing shortage and charged in only to find employers want new BSN grads or several years of ADN experience. Catty nurses who only wish to try to demoralize anyone who may one day compete w...
