Great suggestion cakers45, I looked up the books and have been buying them a fee at a time on Amazon, I've spent about $150 - $175, and I only have fundamentals and two others to buy, I forget which...

I've heard the same thing about the spring semester. I think that's because the application deadline is before the end of the fall semester. The application deadline is September the 26th, and the...

You are young, but that doesn't mean that you won't make it through, not everyone parties through college. Personally, I respect that you're not putting off improving your future, like too many people...

I'll ask my wife's friend about the clinical hours. I have read before that it starts out low, maybe 4 hours, then progresses each semester untill we're in 12 hour clinicals. And I'm not sure about it...

So I was looking at my FAFSA today, and noticed that the overall graduation rate for Aiken Tech is 14% (this is probably true for most community colleges though) and I seen a picture of the spring...

Oh, incidentely, I believe that the Aiken Tech scrubs are red now, at least that's what I have seen in the book store, unless those were for another program. How I hope that they are light brown...

My wife has a friend that just graduated from the nursing program in the spring semester, she recently took her NCLEX (still waiting on the results). I'll have my wife ask her about the clinical...

Yes, you'll only have to take the nursing classes, so you just have a lighter workload each semester. I've taken both A&P's and Micro (Well, taking micro anyways), so I still have to fit in...

I don't believe so, I know some people register for other classes just in case they aren't accepted. Considering that only a set number of people are accepted into nursing, there isn't any risk in...

Ok, here we go, the deadline for applications is now over and now we get to wait. I asked enrollment yesterday how many people have applied, but she said that she has no idea since they're not there...
I'm not really sure how they would calculate the GPA with other schools, it's possible that add up all of your classes and add them up that way, but I can't really say. I'm taking micro right now too,...
