I just went to check out my nursing roster and there are only 19 people starting my program in the fall! I don't know if they only had that many meet requirements or what. I thought in previous terms they accepted 40 but we only have 19 this year. Id...

I guess it depends on where you live. If you live in a bigger city with public transit then not having a car may not be a problem. Its kind of a given if you live in a rural area. Having a car isn't a requirement but its nice. Idk about where you liv...

We start the 21st and our orientation was Monday. Our program just went through a major overhaul. They've done away with high stakes testing and the dreaded first day pharm test. We all freaked out when we did not receive a packet with our acceptance...

You can work in other states. The rumor is completely false. the NLNAC accreditation has nothing to do with working in other states. Even if you graduate from an accredited school or if Augusta tech does receive the accreditation you will still have ...

We start school the 19th and our clinicals start the 23rd of September. So 5 weeks in. Nursing foundational concepts (nursing 1201) for us starts off like a CNA class learning the basics so don't worry you'll only do in clinicals what you have been c...

I'm right with you on the country thing..Im normally in jeans, a tshirt and my hairs pulled through the back of a hat. We live on 11 acres and I'm always doing yard work. I think Ive worn makeup maybe 4 days this summer since I haven't had any classe...

I'm thinking nice pair of jeans, pumps and a blouse or tank and blazer. All of my heels are 4in +. I have a vision of me falling or twisting my ankle and looking like a complete dweeb so I'm not even attempting that. I've been debating on pleading m...

My orientation is in 3 days! Orientation Monday and then CPR class Tuesday! sooo excited. Then school starts the 21st! I cant believe its so close! I've been trying to decide what to wear for a week. I want to make the best impression possible.

Our LPN is very much like that . Pretty much the exact same because the LPN program is held at satellite campus' along with the main campus where ADN is only held at the main campus. Our ADN is only a few years old maybe 5 at the most and we were bei...

OT assistants have 2-3yr programs in my area and have more science classes so to speak. I believe that would be more comparable to an ADN as far as time of completion, course load, and clinical time. They take more anatomy, kinesiology and chemistr...

Actually I'm not in school yet and I'm about 100% sure that's all who were accepted. We had to accept our seat by the 24 of June and alternates were notify the day after and had a week to accept their seat as well. Registration is now closed and no o...

In our school and a few others I know of you cant wear lab coats during clinicals...only from your car to clinical site or around the hospital on break. We have to take it off on the floor. I have no clue why and its on our purchase list as recommend...

I know our school offers advice on regions student loans, Sallie Mae and 5th/3rd bank. Region loan require you to be working I believe. I received Sallie Mae because I'm not working while in school and they have a deferment plan like fed. loans. You ...

We have to take two gen ed course while in the program. Somehow how we have to fit human development and speech in there somewhere. I opted to take human development this semester because I love pysch and tend to do good in those classes because they...

At my local technical College in GA, tuition+fees for this semester is 1464 for 14 credit hours for my first semester in the nursing program. I receive pell because my father is retired and draws social security (yes I was a laaaatteee baby for him) ...

I can only speak for university in the south, however, I'm sure they are all relatively similar. If you have less than 24 credit hours you can be accepted as an incoming freshmen and a candidate for progression into a nursing program. You'll of cours...

We have a two day orientation 8/12 and 13. With a mandatory CPR class on the 13th First class begins on the 21. Nursing foundations 4 days a week 2 8hr clinical days and pharm and dosage two days a week. plus most of us have human development as a pr...

I have a Day-Timer faux Filofax type planner. I love Erin C. and Filofax but no Filofax kinda money :/ I can always dream though. I write everything in it. kids, workout, hubbys work, school schedules etc. I love them being in one place.

I think standardized tests cater more towards common sense. Maybe? has to count for something in nursing. If only I can retain the information from studying...here comes the hard part.

I had the same fear. I just knew I flunked the science section also. And honestly some of the words on the vocab part seemed harder to me than some on the SAT! I was dreading clicking the button to find out my score and when it finally popped up I al...

I scored a 148 on the Pax. Which I thought was great until the girl next to me said she scored a 152 lol. We both made it into our program for this fall. I'm convinced I got in solely on my pax score. I'm a wonderful standardized test taker. I always...
