Ndoht ADN, CNA, LPN, RN

I completely agree with VetRobRN. Don't let the negative things in your environment drag you down. If your classmates laughed at you, ignore them. If your instructor rolled eyes on you, find another instructor. I would say the trick is to do endless ...

Hi. I completely understand your stress and hardship. I was a CNA for 4 years with experience both in the hospital and nursing home too. I would like to congratulate you for graduating RN school in just a few more months! You are almost there! I woul...

Thanks a lot! After reading your posts, I'm seriously considering about applying to UNCW's program! I wish you great luck in pursuing your DNP!

Thank you so much for all your replies! What were the frequencies of the papers, discussion boards, and tests on a weekly basis?

I would still go for the local community colleges. With financial aid, it should be way much easier to handle. If you get the prerequisite courses and the TEAS, the point system shouldn't be too intimidating. You don't need to be at the top of the po...

Hello everyone! How are you? I am starting this thread because I intend to apply to Durham Tech's ADN program that begins next fall. I know this may be a bit early, but I would like to have a place where all of us who will be applying can share our d...

You can also take a Health Unit Coordinator course and be a HUC in the hospital.

It seems the OP is refusing to listen to all these great advice and turning his/her back away from reality. Nursing is not a suitable profession for the OP, and he/she will regret it after graduation.

Tiffany, did you receive any further directions after the acceptance letter, minus the one that says don't accept twice? I remember the letter said that we are going to receive more information before or on 4/1, so I am just puzzled. Thanks!

I am in the exact same boat as you. Having a bachelor's in a non-nursing degree and 25, but I just got accepted to a local ADN program. I don't really get why people have the greatest urge to work at hospitals right after graduation these days. With ...

Everything depends. A lot of ADN + BSN bridge together are much cheaper than just BSN. You have to research your specific schools. If you don't have a competitive cumulative GPA, you might want to consider ADN first. LPN in my area can still find wor...

Thank you! Congratulations to you too! I guess we put our eggs in the right basket!

I just received my acceptance letter today! I hope all of us get accepted to their schools too!

I hope you are reading these responses. They are really good advices. Like the vast majority of the commentors, I suggest that you be extra supportive of this period in his life. He will really appreciate it afterwards. Maybe you can become his study...

I checked back at their admission requirements page. They do require "at least 6 credits in college-level English" to begin the admission process. Well, you will fulfill that requirement in no time and definitely get accepted the next time you apply!...

Seriously?! I cannot believe you could be denied admission with such good grades! Exactly which English class did you lack, may I ask? It's got to be a REALLY important English class..... I thought they said you don't have to have already taken all t...

Are you currently working? Find a job no matter how many it pays you, and you'll have that $1000 in a few weeks.

It's the right kind of mistakes to make during nursing school. It's the right time to make these kind of mistakes.

It's kind of inconvenient that they only provide transcript evaluations after acceptance. It feels nervous not to know exactly which required non-nursing courses we still need to take to fulfill graduation requirements, if there are any. How did you ...

How many classes are you taking per session? Are you working full-time while taking classes? How stressful is it? Thank you for the insight. I really appreciate it!

Hello everybody! I am going to start ADN/ASN school very soon, but I am not sure which route to take after that. The RN to BSN program that I am interested in starts classes about a month after the application deadline. That means if I graduate in M...

Thank you for the response. It's my plan all along to apply to both programs the year after graduation. The school offers two routes to obtain the MSN: BSN to MSN, and RN to MSN. I've fulfilled all of their general education requirements other than t...

That is interesting! I would think the application processes for Duke and UNC would be harder and more complex than Durham Tech. They require a personal essay whereas Durham Tech doesn't require one for the least. Would you like to share why Durham T...

Congratulations! It is so normal to be nervous! Just take a deep breath and set up a good schedule to plan everything out. You can do it!

It sounds like you are not sure getting which degree out of the three is best suited for you, while you know BSN is the most preferred degree. It really depends on your personal situation. Do you have a bachelor's in a non-nursing field? Do you have ...
