    Haha where do you live? My local hospital has a thing on their career website saying no more new grads!
  2. Pre-requisties may take 4 semesters, maybe longer?

    I've been going towards an ASN. My school requires AP 1, AP 2, micro, English 101, math 120, and a social science. AP and Micro require chem before you can participate. Or two biology classes. I'm...

  5. Semester sound too crazy?

  6. Just wondering if any of you had any certifications prior to nursing school? EMT, LTE, CNA, etc. I'm dabbling in the idea of getting one, since I have another few semesters left of pre reqs(hoping to...

  10. Was looking at a local hospitals career page(overly curious, of course), and in a bright yellow box they have posted "We will not be accepting anymore RN New Grads." Just wondering if anyone else has...
  11. Being accepted... Is it a sign?!?

    Just curious, what are these programs that don't require pre reqs done? The only schools I know of that do that are career
  12. Being accepted... Is it a sign?!?

    Honestly, if it were me I would jump the gun, celebrate, and accept my nursing school position. I could understand the financial burden, but I'd do
  13. Classes filling up?

    I completely agree with you. One of the more fun issues for us is the fact that we can't wait list classes. So you stalk them until they open up. As it stands now there are 10 spots open for the class...
  14. Classes filling up?

    I'm not sure if it's like this everywhere, but here it seems that it's a fight to be able to get into pre-nursing classes. I'm in an accelerated, early ending chemistry 121 class, which is the pre...

  19. Semester sound too crazy?

    Unfortunately, and I'm reluctant to admit this; I'm on year 6 in college.. lol I know what works for me. The only reason I have to retake political science and sociology is because I was younger at...
  20. Semester sound too crazy?

    YAY! Now just to pass chemistry and actually get into AP1.
  21. Semester sound too crazy?

    Oh no, I will DEFINITELY not be working at all. As it stands right now, which is why I'm nervous, I do homework from the time I wake up until I go to sleep. But this is chemistry. Actually, my school...
  22. Anyone else's local hospitals doing this?

  23. 19 and starting pre-reqs in August, advice?

    Welcome to the world of fun times, no social life, and lots of studying! :) My best advice would be to not overwhelm yourself. Also, study study study. Don't ever fall behind either! Im not sure what...
