Medic90....what hospital do you work at (private message me)? I work at two local hospitals as well. I only applied to Highlands as well. So nervous and anxious about tomorrow. Crossing fingers and toes.

I have all of the same thoughts and worries. I have applied to KSU but not for their nursing program...yet. If I don't I get accepted this year then it's onto some other major or program. These last couple of days are gonna be the worst, the wait is ...

At 24 years old you are probably still wet behind the ears. I've seen hundreds, if not thousands of new nurses under 25 come and leave the career within the first year because it is simply not what they thought. Think realistically of what you asking...

First off....no need to be a nervous wreck so early! I can understand being nervous, but applications were due this week, almost a month after you applied. I think in the past I've heard that they don't even open and begin to look at them until Sprin...

Thanks! I appreciate that! I thought about every last detail with continuing towards the nursing path, it is just not worth the agony. Honestly, it would be to appease my deceased parents which doesn't make sense. Whenever I offer advice I tell peopl...

ALL the schools around here are very competitive. I can't travel too far because I have 3 children to look after, and I'm not the "bread winner". I wouldn't be giving up, just changing my path.

I went to an open house for the LPN program today. They said they schedule clinical time for 12 hour shifts and that does include Saturdays and Sundays. I only work Saturdays at the hospital, I've been doing that for 11-12 years now. I don't know if ...

havehope.....I hope you get in for Spring!! I didn't think microbiology was as hard as the anatomy and physiology classes. I'm torn whether to give up the nursing, I would have to retake anatomy and physiology1 again and MUST get an A or not a chanc...

I am in a similar situation. Getting into the nursing program is a struggle. I don't really have any advice. If you REALLY want it, stick it out waiting or settle on a different health care related job. Nursing isn't for everyone, and there are many ...

23? You're still wet behind the ears!! My brother-in-law started med school in his 40s. I'm 40 and I know many that are older than myself going to school as well!! Us oldies only dream of being that young going through a nursing program!!! I wish I c...

It is frustrating and exhausting to hear others complain. We all have circumstances!!!! Own up to your mistakes. We all make mistakes, not all of us can be perfect. Part of learning is fixing your mistakes. It's pathetic to blame others especially yo...

I didn't get in the first time I applied, but I was prepared for it. I wasn't prepared for telling my classmates, co-workers or others that I was denied. I'm still dealing with to tell I was denied and move on, or to just keeping going without admitt...

amorganfreeman....Don't give in so easily. If you aced A&P2 you can take A&P1 again and do well. The TEAS doesn't count that much towards your score either, and you can take that a couple times a year I believe. You're still so young too. You...

CONGRATS to all of you that are in!!!!! Nothing but the best of wishes to you all!!

..amorganfreeman... Thanks for your input!! Hope Weaver IS head of admissions. Confirmed in an email from Hope Weaver that letters WERE IN FACT SENT OUT YESTERDAY!!!! I'm still sure I'm not getting in. My anatomy grades weren't great, and I bombed ...

In one of my online classes, a classmate said they called and they told her they were mailed out last week on Wednesday and Thursday. I don't believe it. I think they just finished the process and that they will mail the letters out towards the end o...

I finished training staff at work then took a cruise for a week. Upon return from the cruise I've decided to torture myself by taking 4 summer classes. One word comes to mind......TEQUILLA!!!

Does anyone know if they send out the decline letters and acceptance letters at the same time? I've heard that in the past they send out decline letters in May and the acceptance letters in June. I know I have no chance of being accepted, but I haven...

I know in my area (the South) there are plenty of jobs even for new grads. I have a friend that is an RN in the north and she changes offices every couple of years. She never has a problem getting a job. The down side here is that it seems that you h...

@DMC87 I'm just being realistic. I don't want to get my hopes too high only to not get in. If I do get accepted it's because of the 15 years of experience in the OR, but they don't look at that. I know I'm good in clinicals, at least I was when I had...

@sjutras yes I did calculate my score. I should have went in and had some advising and pointers when filling out the worksheet. I have this one class not done when I turned it in, but I was told last semester that they don't begin to look at them unt...

A friend of mine has an overall score of 98% on her TEAS V, she applied to two schools and did not get accepted to either one. She also has a bachelor's degree in the science field.

Hi everybody!It's been a very long road getting to this point, so whether I get accepted or not I have no regrets. I applied as well for fall 2013, but I highly doubt that I will get accepted. I'm finishing up my last class now, medical microbiology....
