Accelerated RN program

I have been working nights for a year now as a CNA. I have found that the most important things that have helped me be 100% during my shifts are eating properly and excercise! Proper nutrition is SO important!

This post has been a nice reminder!! I have been on a waitlist for 2 years for a nursing program and finally get to start in Aug. A friend of mine is actually graduating in May, and her stories has had me very discouraged! I plan to continue my working as a tech in a hospital and go to nursing school (I know, I know! some people say you can do it, and others say its impossible) but she says there is absolutely no way I will be able to work and go to school. I completely understand that this is going to be difficult but I am ready for it! I need to remember that I am a different person with different capabilities, and there is a chance that I CAN do it! I will not know unless I find out for myself!! Thank you for this post! I can't wait to start!

I have not heard anything about the packet coming but will post when I get it! Has anyone done the background check yet? Or know how long it usually takes?

I also am starting at Gateway in the fall in the accelerated program. I know some friends have told me that other schools/teachers have issues with ipads or laptops during class, but if this is not the case at gateway I am definately going to be getting an ipad!
