"What do you mean you cannot tell us apart? Are you implying that all nurses look the same to doctors?"

I agree with Mandychelle79. The only thing I am really praying for is getting a job that isn't 11-7 but even then I know I'm kinda wishing for a miracle. Hospitals don't shut down at 5pm or for national holidays.

Any advice on what we should be doing over the summer in prep for a fall start?

To the OP I am very thankful that you made this thread. My husband and I are in a very similar position as you. I already have a B.A. degree and was also just accepted into an ADN program. I've been having fertility issues as well and your questions ...

I think I can understand the feeling of having a "calling" for it. For myself, personally, I've always felt pretty drawn to nursing. However, I was so afraid of failing, I continuously made decisions that led me away from it. It seemed to me that eve...

I think it is unreasonable to expect that you wouldn't be emotionally affected by an incident like this. I'm only a brand new nursing student now, but I used to work as an EMT-B for a retirement community. I remember my first priority one patient eve...

OMG, Last time I was on a psych unit, there was a girl there who was flying off the walls manic. She was constantly at the nurse window (sometimes jumping in front of a line of people waiting for meds). I could only imagine what it would have been li...

I can tell I've been thinking about it too much because I've been dreaming about it lol

Any other Essex campus people finding themselves incredibly anxious for Thursday the 5th?

Hello HiimRose, I'm only a newly accepted nursing student who hasn't even registered for her fall classes yet. I know nothing about what is expected during clinicals. So keep that in mind when reading my input. While I have never experienced psychia...

I'm also a student but, as a patient, I've always loved GBMC. I did some volunteering there and everyone I worked with was really nice.

I was accepted in the CCBC-Essex nursing program with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology (GPA 3.03) and having to repeat A&PI and only a C in Bio 110. I had a B in A&PII and an A in Microbiology. I think you're looking pretty good. I think wha...

I'll turn 27 one month after I start nursing school this fall.

Thanks for sharing this information. I also already have a bachelor's degree and would love to do an RN to MS bridge.

I'm considering it. I know I qualify but I'm not sure I could afford it.

Awesome! Thanks!

Anyone doing a FB group for Essex Day?

Bunnybop, you are seriously a blessing. Thank you so much for taking time to give us advice!

Thanks Bunnybop for your advice. As someone who worked while attending the nursing program, do you have any advice on balancing work and school? I have to pay for this program out of pocket and have no choice but to work. I'm currently working a some...

I got my letter today (Essex Day Program). I was not expecting the seat fee to be due so soon... so... sold a few things and it's officially paid for. Phew. As for the E/W orientation, the sheet says Tuesday, June 10th 6-9pm.

I have a seat fee :) Now I can finally breathe. Congrats to everyone who got in! See those of you at the Essex campus this Fall :)

You're not alone.

I've applied to Essex campus and my status changed really early yesterday to decision made and I have yet to see a seat fee. I mean I guess it's possible that I wasn't accepted but I applied to this exact same program last year and was accepted (thin...

I hope you're right!

I bought a lot of A&P coloring books which helped me a lot. Also, the first time I took A&P I I had to withdraw by the 1st exam. The teaching style of the professor just wasn't right for me. When I switched professors, I found the class far b...
