Yeah I’ve decided not to attend here. I’m going to apply to WCC instead.

I agree! I’m considering changing as well. Where are you thinking of going? I really want to do a quicker program.

Hi everyone! I was supposed to start in April that is now June. I got the email about the Castle Branch zoom meeting which is incredibly inconvenient because it’s in the middle of a work day. I asked for the schedule as well and received no concrete ...

Hey guys, so I finally got an answer. Although I applied before the deadline, the next class is full, so I will be considered for the fall semester. Prereqs start in April, so I guess I’ll just start those. Thanks everyone for your help!

She didn’t have to take the TEAS at all? What was her experience in the program during the pandemic? I know! I have to do prerequisites and I’m afraid I won’t be able to start this term because I won’t be ready in time.

Yeah, I tried that email. I’m not sure what’s going on. Sigh. Thanks for your help!

It’s now been a week with no answered emails. Can anyone in the program tell me how it’s going? Also, should I just take the TEAS without them contacting me first?

thanks! Gonna try again

Thanks! I've emailed them twice. I'm not sure what else to do, and I'm getting a bad feeling that they don't respond timely.

Hi everyone! My app has been verified by nursingcas, but I'm not sure what the next steps are. The deadline was Dec 14, but I haven't taken the TEAS yet. Should I just take the TEAS or wait for the college to let me know when to take it? I'm trying t...

..them sitting on it accidentally

I will be working in a correctional facility. I registered right after graduation and I took my NCLEX in August and used the Kaplan class and their resources to study. I suggest you take your NCLEX ASAP. I liked the Kaplan course, although I know peo...

I start a new job on Monday, so we'll see how that goes. I have positive thoughts about it though. Clinical valuations are pretty easy the clinical instructors tell you what you just need to work on for the next rotation. Everyone passes the first r...

Post grad life is not as less stressful as you would assume it to be. It's a struggle finding a job that's not LTC, skill-less, or pays pennies. The gerontology project I actually had a different part and used my med-surf textbook for. It wasn't clea...

Who's your A&P teacher? I'll see what I can dig up

I didn't know you were that close to graduating! Sheesh, I see why you're in a pickle. I was in the same predicament in my clinical group on my last rotation with nursing students who couldn't even do a finger stick. I would do my assignment and not ...

The majority of my clinical groups never knew what was going on. As well as the majority of my group projects, I did most of the work. What I will tell you is, those people never made it through the program. Your clinical instructors will pick up on ...

I say, do it! The best way to get your foot in to nursing is as an LVN/LPN. Then if you wish, you can always continue to RN.

Hey guys, how's it going in the program so far? I'm a previous student. Need advice, help, or notes?

So, I could use some advice. I've been looking for a job for a few months and finally found one that works for me, and I think I would like. I was supposed to meet with the director of nursing, but couldn't meet them because they had a meeting. Durin...

The thing is, they did get back to me. I start tomorrow at job A. If I decide not to continue after the first week, do you think I should still give a 2-week notice?

Just wanted to let everyone know that I went on the interview! This second job seems so much better than the first. Now, I'm not sure what to do. Should I still try this first place out? I'm supposed to start tomorrow at the first place, and I told t...

Where do you live? Some places will hire you before you take your boards. I started applying before I took my boards, and some places offered me a position with them. Dependent on my boards, was whether I would get a pay raise or not. I'd say go for ...

Thanks!

Ok so good! Def gonna say that now!
