I just heard about Atl Tech College and wanted to see if anyone went there recently and if there is a wait list? Did you like the school, teachers? Did you go for LPN or RN?

I am thinking about going to Chamberlain. I was a community college in St. Louis, but recently moved to Georgia. I want to get going and get my career going. Is there anyone on here that is/has went to Chamberlain? Pros/Cons? What are the major requ...

This post is for anyone one who has/is attending STLCC. How is the nursing program? I will be attending the nursing program at Meramec. I am so excited and nervous.

I am looking to apply to Chamberlain. Are there certain things they look for when accepting people? Is there a wait list?

Alright, I need some insight. Here's some background on me. I am at a community college in St. Louis right now. I have been on the waiting list for 2 years. I was accepted to start last month, but I had to defer until the spring. I have a one year ol...

Great, thanks! How about anyone else? It is so difficult to get people to reply on this site!

I want to know why YOU want to be a nurse? I keep second guessing myself and I am not quite sure if I really want to be a nurse.

Okay, these "Care Plans," I keep reading about are really worrying me. They seem so complicated and detailed. Has anyone done them? Are they hard to do?

I am not a nurse. I will be starting my program on the 19th. I keep seeing post about how nursing isn't what it used to be or that it isn't rewarding. This actually scares me. Do you feel like nursing is a rewarding career? Does it seem to get repeti...

I wasn't expecting to get into nursing school this month, I was thinking it was going to be January. I have been wanting to get into the program, it was all I was thinking and talking about. Ever since I got accepted, I feel "off" about it. I have a...

My program starts Aug 19th and we start clinicals Sept 10th. The week before we are doing computer training.

So, as the first day gets closer and closer, I keep getting more and more nervous about starting. My stomach starts to get knots and I feel anxious. Is this normal? I know I want to become a nurse, but man my nerves are getting the best of me. I kee...

Okay, thanks! :)

I have no idea about the pay, but I live near St. Louis. Do they require a student nurse to get through first semester before you can apply?

I agree completely. He needs to be more supportive. Did he think that nursing school was going to be easy breezy? Wake up. I am getting ready to start first semester, but I already know and so does hubby that it is going to be very stressful. We als...

I am going to take A&P2 with my nursing classes this semester. Then I only have Micro left.

Meramec. You?

I was on the list for 1 1/2 years. I just got in and start this month. :)

I am so excited and nervous about starting nursing school. I just can't wait to see what goes on in lab and at clinicals. What kinds of things do you do in labs? What about clinicals? How many patients do you have?

So I am trying to get everything taken care of before classes start. I was told I need to get white or black leather shoes. I can't wear my Dansko clogs...BOO! I love those. Can you recommend your shoes? I have some back issues.

Now, in lab, are you doing IV's on the simulation patients or on students?

I was told it will be one day a week. They start 4th week for me.

I am starting my first semester at a community college Aug 19th. I have no idea what to expect. Can someone give me some tips or advice? I will not be working, my husband will be. I do have my 11-month old son, he won't be in daycare.

Thank you! All of these are great! :)

My rings sit up pretty high, I have always had trouble getting them stuck on gloves for various reasons. I start my program at the end of the month, so I'm guessing I will be taking them off. Especially since I keep reading that yucky stuff can get c...
