Thank you to all

I received my acceptance letter to North Shore Community College yesterday, which was my one and only choice! Words truly can't describe how I am feeling right now. The anticipation was unbelievably nerve-wracking. I literally almost crashed on my way home, when I noticed the GIANT envelope hanging from my mailbox. I stopped the car immediately and ran to my house. I ripped open the envelope and as soon as I saw "Congraulations" I felt invincible. But I took deep breath and realized that this was only the beginging of a demanding, rewarding, and fulfilling journey. I can't wait for classes to start this upcoming Fall. At the same time I am nervous and don't know what to expect. The fact that I have no healthcare experience whatsoever makes me cringe. I don't think being a male will affect my educational experience. But my school is predominantly females. That being said I am ready to dedicate myself to be the best possible student nurse I can !!! Nurses ROCK

Thank you guys. "Sacrifice," I knew it looked wrong haha !!! But I totally agree I need to talk more about how I am going to balance and manage my time and write less about my personal life ! You guys are awesome : 0

Thank you I was debating on whether or not to make a couple jokes. I know I need something to seperate my response from other candidates. But you're definitely right it seems to "jokey" and that is why I put it on AN to get other people's input! : 0

My school requires a questionnaire in order to apply to the Nursing Program and here is my rough draft to one of the questions. How will you manage your academic and personal life in order to succed in the program? I acknowledge that the Nurse Education Program is physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding; therefore, if accepted I plan on commiting my utmost attention to the rigorous program. Upon acceptance, my goal is to be equally dedicated, prepared, and successful throughout the entire learning process. I will enter the program as a blank slate, a tabula rasa; ready to learn, observe, and listen as much as possible. Time after time, I hear that success in the Nursing Program is contingent on time management and organization; luckily those two valuable skills are second to none in my daily routine. I do not anticipate working while in the program. I've heard way too many horror stories of students failing the program due to excess work. The fact that I have completed most pre-requisites will allow me to focus and divert all my attention to the primary nursing courses. I've come to the realization that my social life will be non-existent, so I will break up with my girlfriend and sell all my precious electronics. All jokes aside, I understand that sacrafices will have to be made in order to optimize my chances to be succesful in the program. If it means studying forty hours a week or not going to my sisters wedding, I will do whatever it takes, legally, to succeed. Any advice??? Critically, punctuation, grammar, etc. . .

Wow. . . . thank you so much!!! I diverted most of my attention to science and math, and now my reading and english are lacking. My school is so competitive regarding TEAS scores. But I truly appreciate your advice : 0

I take my exam on monday. The reading and english portions are my weakest links. Do you have any advice?

It's good app specifically for people who are always on the GO. I use it all the time just to refresh my memory!!! A bang for you buck, 10 to be exact : 0

I am finally done with all my sciences. So, next semester I will be taking Medical Ethics Child Psychology Anthropology Abnormal Psychology Speech God willing by Fall 2014 I will start my nursing courses. . . . I CANT WAIT !!!

Thank you. . . . It's just that my school is so competitive and the TEAS is key. You can have a 4.0, experience, great recommendations, but if you don't score well too bad.

General Chemistry: A Microbiology: A Human Growth: A Nutrition: A World Literature: A Time to take the TEAS now!!! I am so nervous : /

That's awesome. Yes, we definitely can do it but it will take a whole lot of studying. Good luck and best wishes. Anything is possible !!!

I start Sept 8th and hopefully this is my last semster of pre-reqs. Microbiology General Chemistry Nutrition Human Growth Development World Literature 2 I'm in for a long and bumpy ride!!!

Honestly, I am somewhat worried about next semester. In order to apply for fall 2014, I have to complete all my pre-reqs next semester. So I have to take: Microbiology General Chemistry Human Growth Develp Nutrition World Literature 2 May the lord be with me !!!!
