  1. Calhoun CC Fall 2014

    You are so welcome scross0613...we gotta stick together! I'm just glad that you found out like I did too late that the books are cheaper on Amazon. I agree that you need to get new books so you will have the codes. In later semesters, there might ...
  2. Calhoun CC Fall 2014

    I wonder if you can go to the secretary for the book info. I say this, because this is where I went to get this info from my school and I was able to get the list. I do have some friends in nursing school at Calhoun, so I can also ask them. I'll l...
  3. Calhoun CC Fall 2014

    Just some advice...I would try to get the book list and see if you can get your books cheaper on Amazon. You can also join Calhoun's previous nursing facebook pages and see if anyone wants to sell their books. I would make sure that they are the co...
  4. Calhoun CC Fall 2014

    I'm in nursing school. I put in for Calhoun and UAH, but ultimately chose UAH. I want all to know that it is definitely stressful, but you have to keep things in perspective. You have to remember why you want this, to not give up, and that each da...
  5. I was wondering who is applying to UAH, Calhoun Community College, or both in the Huntsville/Decatur, Alabama area. I have applied to both schools myself and I am starting to get anxious. I am hoping we can all come together to support and encourag...
  6. lpalmeida, I felt the same way about my child who was only 8 months when I started school. I had some prereqs already completed from years before. I actually started out at my local CC (with the majority of classes online). When the time came...
  7. I mean great point Kissesnhugs. And CONGRATULATIONS jchrisperdue!!!
  8. Good question Kissesnhugs!
  9. I got in! Spring '14!!

    Congratulations!
  10. Cyndle, I am so happy for you and everyone else who made it in!!!! Hold your head up high...you're going to nursing school!! Kissesnhugs, thanks for the heads up! :)
  11. I got an acceptance letter also from Calhoun's ADN program!!! It actually came in a letter and was two pages. The Fall start people at Calhoun received an acceptance packet (I have friends that started Calhoun nursing school in Fall), so maybe they...
  12. to all the new prenursing students. some encouragement

    I also love the positive encouraging words CarefulCare. I agree with your logic in taking notes and using color to bring attention to certain things. I would add to go over what you are studying and come back again later to go over it again. This ...
  13. jchrisperdue, I am excited for you, too! It sounds like you have been working hard. I agree with you and I think that you can be rest assured that you will get into the program; however, I don't blame you one bit for being nervous. Let me tell yo...
  14. jrl905, I still think you got in, too. Be mindful that we have to turn in our responses by the 18th. Please let us know what happens. I'm on the edge of my seat!
  15. jporterlpn, No, I do not know anyone who has gone through the online LPN to RN mobility program. I'm sure like you said, it's an excellent program. Again, please let us know what happens. Future nursing applicants might see this, and perhaps you...
  16. jporterlpn, I am not positive about the six weeks, but it seems to be that way for all nursing programs around here. I would call Calhoun, however, to get a definitive answer. There are plenty of people there willing to help you get an answer to yo...
  17. I would like to go to the Wednesday one (yes, I would love for us to go to the same one!!), because I think there will be a lot to do to get ready like CPR classes and shot records and financial stuff..... I feel the same way about worrying about th...
  18. Thank you kissesnhugs...I just went to my mailbox and got a thick letter that said in summary that I was ACCEPTED! Oh my gosh I'm so excited, too! :) Kissesnhugs, are you going to the Wednesday or Friday orientation?
  19. Hi at256, The applications for the RN mobility program were due the same time as the RN program, so I think it would be safe to say that they will be in the mail about 6 weeks after the due date. Therefore, I think they would start going out the we...
  20. Yes, it is kissesnhugs! You said it perfectly...."mailbox madness".
  21. You are indeed welcome jrl905. I think it's awesome that you made it to the waiting list at USA, and like you said, it's much better than getting denied. I think you have a wonderful chance making it into UAH. Packets 4 everyone!
  22. I'm still learning about this site, and I think there is only a limited time that a person can edit their post. I didn't know that either but I'm just now learning that, because I cannot edit any of my posts either. I think that is typical and I bel...
  23. Hey ya'll when reading other posts, I see that the admins for the site remove names of people that work for the schools in the nursing programs and put little notes people's posts...I would edit you know who's name before they see it.
  24. My goodness, now, I'm really nervous. I didn't get a call either, and I took the HESI test at the last minute too (found out about it last minute). I did not know that it was not mandatory to take before turning in our applications (thank you for s...
  25. Cyndle, I called yesterday and talked to a really helpful lady (in retrospect I wish I had asked her name). She said, the first summer there are no nursing classes for Spring start nursing students. She said this is so people that have prerequisit...
