speaking as someone whos attended both wallace and jeff state- go with wallace. jeff states expects you to hit the ground running vs. wallace who breaks things down. they even have a student success program geared towards helping students pass from one semester to the next and offer free tutoring. im there now persuing my RN. im in 3rd semester. Im also a LPN.

Speaking personally, I finished the LPN program there last year on sumiton. I loved it. I learned a lot. Fundamentals will definitely be your high fail out rate. And OB is a killer too. We actually people fail it than 105. And we took both together last summer. We had a test almost every Monday and Wednesday. A med surg test Monday. OB CLINICALS Tuesday at UAB WEST. OB test Wednesday. MED SURG CLINICAL Thursday at Walker Baptist. It was brutal! But I made it! It's doable. Just gotta have faith!

lol you better READ! seriously though, just realize at the end of the day your first priority is patient care! if it doesnt have any thing to do with patient care, simply turn the other way. going through a similar situation myself.

I didn't get in:-(

I hope so! But I do urge you to take calhoun! Their board rates are higher! That's why I'm thinking Wallace may be where the good Lord is leading me to!

I'm sure your fine ranger *rollseyes* lol. I had a 72.7% on teas and two B's and a C. I'm the one that's scared. I have wallace to fall back in which had a hybrid option. You just have to go to campus for the test (just like snead) and they offer night and weekend Clinicals also. So I have something to fall back with. And their pass rate is higher.

The secretary said letters will be out by the end of this week! I don't think I got in. It's 100 qualified applicants and while my teas score is good my sciences are just B averages at best

I second that. I work at the va now as a lpn on a med surg floor and its so many opportunities to learn. To hone skills. A few seconds ago from me typing this message i just put a iv in one of my patients.

everyone isnt a "a" student or a "b" student for that matter. Often times though they make the best nurses. Number 1) they don't assume they know everything and 2)theyre always open to learning and peer criticizing meant to make them a better nurse. 3) theyre always open to teach others what theyve learned.

Exactly! Like you wernt once that curious student who was just learning everything for the first time!

why are people sometimes such jerks on this site. it was a simple question. the op didnt mean any harm. some people just are mean for no reason. if it annoys you that much.... DON'T RESPOND!

Just a heads up- they meet Tuesday. Got this from the director myself *fingerscrossed*

more than likely @seelek the new class schedule is up, so you can look on there

@jdmelton88 for which school? snead or wallace? i dont know if ive got accepted to snead yet.

Just a update letters are expected to go out sometime next week!
