Someone told me today that Kansas passed a law disallowing GNs to practice before they have passed their boards. I've searched several news sites but haven't come up with anything. Can anyone verify this? If so, I'd like to see the source if possible...

KSBN was the first place I checked...if they have any such changes in the works they've either hidden them, or I'm blind. Thanks anyway. :)

OK, now that the excitement over getting an acceptance letter has passed, I'm a little freaked out. Some of the stuff they are asking for is making me nervous. Health history, I understand. Dental records...? A little bizarre, but OK. Credit report??...

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll bridge over just fine and look forward to seeing you Aug 2006 :)

Very interesting reading. I see both sides...the teen mom in me wants to scream out that it isn't all about trying to feel loved, or just wanting a baby, etc. The future nurse in me is shocked and apalled and can't believe that anyone who still shop...

MommyJoy--what hospital? I'm in the KC area; my first was delivered at Olathe Medical and my second at St Luke's South.

I start this fall in Johnson County Community College's ADN program (Kansas City, KS area)

Alison, I'm glad that you were given the options that involve keeping your situation in the privacy of your own home. That sounds like an excellent nurse who really does understand the needs of her pts. I also wanted clarify--there are 'no interventi...

I find it fascinating to read all these stories. I'm a student nurse that plans to continue on to earn my CNM. My decision was based on not only the birth of my 2 girls, but also as playing childbirth coach at a few friends' deliveries. My first daug...

I've had the MMR 3 times so far; the first before kindergarten, the second after my first daughter was born because they claimed I hadn't had it, then the third after my second daughter was born--surprise! Still not immune. I'm hoping that they won't...

He is most likely referring to the 2-year RN (AAS) program, not the LPN program (10 month). Since when does KU have a BSN program that is less than 2 years? I thought all bachelor's degrees were a minimum of 3 years. There's nothing wrong with having...

Hi-- I'm Hillary, 26, single mother of 2, and I've just received my acceptance letter to JCCC's (in Kansas) RN program. Now that the excitement of getting an acceptance letter has passed, I'm a little freaked out. Some of the stuff they are asking fo...

Hi-- My name is Hillary, I am 26, and I've just been accepted to the RN program at JCCC in KS. I'm a single mother of 2 deceptively adorable girls, ages 9 and 4. I want to become a nurse so that I may continue on and earn my CNM. WHile working as a w...

i apologize for posting my happiness. i guess i just figured if i got in then surely y'all would. i'm sorry you guys weren't selected. i'd had liked 'knowing' some people in the program (even if it is via the internet). the answers to your questions,...

I'm in!!! I had pretty much convinced myself that I didn't make it in, but I did!!!!!!! And why the heck do they need dental records? Not that it matters...I made it in! Just a little excited here....!

Had anyone indicated whether or not they had made the decisions or not? A friend of mine in dental hygiene said they were deciding who got in today. I wonder if the nursing program is just not getting the letters out, or if they don't actually know w...

Seriously! :) I can't even think about planning my fall semester until I know what classes I'll be allowed to take. Maybe we all did so awesome on the interviews that they just can't decide who to take.

I'm aware KCKCC only accepts 10 non residents, but that's 10 more chances than with JCCC alone. JCCC is my first choice, but I'm not willing to sit by and wait for them alone. If I can get into a similar program sooner, then I will. Plus KCKCC's nurs...

I intended to apply for the LPN program as well, but due to the kids and then me having what had to be the worst cold virus in the history of the world (or at least close) for 2 weeks straight I missed today's deadline. I also missed the scholarship ...

Thanks 'Tember' for the well-wishes :). Thank you so much, John, for the advice on the interview (if I haven't said it already--even if I had thank you again!). My interview was "OK". The question that got me was how I would explain incomplete work ...

It's the 11th--so good luck today!!

Hi. I received my letter for JCCC's RN program last Friday and scheduled my interview. Have either of you received your letter yet? I'm a single mom of 2 who returned to school Fall '03. My interview is the 22nd, and I have to say I'm a little nervo...
