GaMommy81 - Your GPA should be fine. I got in with 3.67. I don't remember my HESI score, but you have to get atleast a 70%. It just your typical entrance exam. I found it a little easier than the NET. I also had to do an panel interview. Good luck!...

Hey vallie007 - congrats on being taken off the wait list. Did you get into the LPN-RN Bridge program or regular ASN program? I'm supposedly on the wait list for Bridge and they say I probably won't hear anything until their orientation day which is...

I'm thinking 43 is not that old ; ) I'm 47, which means I will be pushing 50 when I get my RN. Trust me there are plently of "mature" adults in this arena. You won't feel out of place. Good Luck!

Pinksand - I was there on April 3rd. I had some friends who were there on the 31st. No packet yet. I'm hoping it comes this week.

:yeah:CONGRATS!!!! TO YOU!!! :yeah:

No, I don't mind you asking. It was 3.67 - Not great, but not bad. I had to take the HESI. I don't remember my exact score, but you had to pass it with a 75.

I got my acceptance this afternoon!! It came by email. Good Luck.

:banghead:I also got put on a wait list. I applied to NGCSU LPN-RN Bridge program. When it all came down to it there were 55 qualified applicants total and they accepted 30. So I guess I have to wait to see what happens. Were you guys going for the r...

Woo HOO!! Congrats on being accepted!! I'm trying to get into their LPN-RN Bridge program. I got a letter on Thursday for me to schedule taking a drug calculation test in March. I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed ; ) I REALLY want to get in. Ar...

I'm 46 with 3 children - one who is about to go off to college this Fall. I start an LPN program in 13 days!! :monkeydance: :monkeydance: I am excited, scared, and anxious to jump in........but I never thought I was too old to try and achieve my dr...

:uhoh21: My fears? 1. Realizing that I DON'T know as much as I thought I did. 2. Giving that first injection or I.V. 3. My first patient dying. 4. Not knowing how to manage my time with family, kids (3) and studying. :innerconf 5. Getting any ...

Thank you so much. I want to get something I can use for a long time. This will get me started in my search

I'll be starting on July 5th. Got orientation on June 4th. I have never been so excited about anything (other than the birth of my children), but I am sooo nervous about the unknown :uhoh21: For those of you who've been in the program, was it harder...

YEAH! :monkeydance: :balloons: :monkeydance: Congratulations to ya! I start LPN Program on July 5th. How have you liked working as a CNA. I would love to do CNA or Nurse Tech, while getting my LPN - just to get my feet wet. Good Luck to you! We're...

You go girl!! I love hearing these types of stories. I'm so glad you have pulled through and are able to pursue your dream. You will make a wonderful nurse! :icon_hug:

:uhoh21: Right there with ya!!! I go back and forth with emotions. I'm excited but I keep having this feeling of failure. I am scared to DEATH! It's as if I want to find an excuse NOT to start :trout: We'll all get through it. I think once I begin ...

:monkeydance: I want the OR. I am fascinated with surgery. I would love to specialize in cardiac or neuro. If I find that I absolutely hate it, then I want CCU or ICU. Good luck to everyone - those STILL waiting and those who have heard :roll

:uhoh21: OMG that sucks. Was this for Fall 07? Did you just get your letter? Why is it that they already didn't know about the nursing class before they admitted you? If this is your dream, do all that you can do to achieve it. Good luck to you!
