When I think about nurses, the thought that crosses my mind are individuals who represent compassion, love, along with a helpful disposition. It saddens me to see individuals in this profession throw insults, and criticism at someone who revealed a s...

@mskrisRN2B you are welcome!

@mbl2013 I'm sorry you are going through this ignorance. I start nursing school in Fall and sometimes worry about the same thing. Throughout life it always seem as though I had a hard time fitting in, despite me being super nice. However, one lesson ...

@mskrosRN2B Hi, well we had to complete two orientations, one online, and one in person, and both are mandatory. You will get an email soon that will specify the dates and times for both. Things that we had to complete were the required immunizations...

Congrats! I start Trident's nursing program the upcoming fall, and remembered I feel the same excitement after getting my date moved up a year earlier. Be proactive and start completing the required immunizations, CPR course, and etc. early. Also, if...

I would suggest looking into to community/technical colleges in your area that offers an ADN program, that why you would hopefully qualify for some sort of financial aid. If not, you have the option of taking out student loans. I know most people hat...

Yayyyyy! Nursing class of 2015! I can't wait to start, and we should be in the new nursing building by Spring, which is huge. @MelissaSilvis, I tested out of AHS126 also, and I agree, once you get the hand of it, it's very easy...

I agree, I took Chem in a three week course, and it was very stressful. I've never studied it since high school, which was about 13 years ago. I barely passed my first exam, so I started using other resources, which included YouTube. This was a treme...

Hello, for my program I need the three dose series, but only had two shot series years ago. They told me to just get the third shot because the Hep B shots never expires. The other post is correct, you would have to get a titer to make sure you're im...

If you study, which includes learning the concepts, you'll do fine. There's a ton of resources available, such as YouTube, Google, libraries, and tutors. It's not hard, just the amount of information you have to absorb in a short amount time. Don't a...

As the previous post stated, do not take your face when handling bacteria, and Wash! Wash! Wash!:)

The only sickness you could of caught from my micro class, was a really nasty cold. Nothing serious though, because the bacteria you will be handling are usually weakened.

@ mskrisRN2B, I got in through the merit placement. I believe the merit placement is offered twice a year, for both Fall and Spring semesters. I think the merit is available in June, or July to start the Spring ADN program. To be sure, continuously c...

@Belle83 Thanks! I've looked into it yesterday, and will be turning in an application.

@ Thanks!:)

@godilockz Do you know if Trident's program offer health insurance for their program.

@goldilockz Thanks for the info, I have heard several people complain about the difficulty of Trident's program. I've already completed all courses for my rn-bsn, except chemistry, which I'm taking summer. I agree, the only reason why I applied to MU...

@goldilockz How long is trident's program, because I have all of my prerequisites finished? I know hospitals in Charleston are in the process of going to Magnet status. Roper, and Roper St. Francis are currently, from what I was told by the Roper St ...

@jnlaw, sorry to hear that you didn't get in, but at least we all will be in a nursing program soon.:) It's just going to take a year longer to pursue my bsn afterwards. I'm just happy that we all have the advantage of getting our foots in the door, ...

Congrats to all of you have been accepted, or alternates. Good luck future nurses!:)

@jnlaw Thanks, and good luck!! :)

@jnlaw I've done all perquisites for Trident's program, and will take chemistry in the summer to transfer for rn-bsn. I'll just be taking nursing courses.:) I haven't registered for anything yet, I will contact my advisor soon, so if you don't make i...

@jnlaw, I spoke with someone yesterday from admissions and she told me I wasn't accepted, and took my number down so that someone can call me and go over my weakness/strengths of my application. I received a call this morning, and she said I received...

@Jnlaw I hope you make it into MUSC, but if not, we can exchange info to help each other out in Trident's program, which I hear is challenging. It would be nice to know someone else who is starting the same program. Good luck into MUSC. Oh, I didn't ...

Hi guys, found out I wasn't accepted, but I'm happy I'll be starting Trident's program in Fall. It was nice communicating with you all, and good luck in all of your endeavors.:)
