So the deal with the MANE program is that you're enrolled in both you CC and MetroState (and what ever school it is up north). Anyone who plans on still transferring at the end of the ADN instead of continuing the MetroState part? So far my experienc...

I had an A&P classmate wonder why she hadn't gotten into the nursing program, wondering how important could microbiology really be to a nursing education.

We had a few paramedics and a couple EMTs in our class. Our nursing instructors were biased against them, saying nursing school was harder for them. Maybe, but they were the first people my classmates and I went to with any questions about acute care...

I was a CNA for 5-6 years, CMA for 9 years, and now a RN for 1 year. There are a few good points by the other responses on this thread. First, medical assistant programs are notorious at overselling their product and overcharging for it. Medical assi...

I like to tinker with my resumes too. Your advice on using key words from the job description is valuable. I've never done much with that. Thank you for mentioning it.

I didn't know there was such a thing, not sure why. That seems like a valuable way to make money; that being, because there's always someone to pay for a "guarantee" of being rewarded something. Whether that be a job (paying for a resume) or a grade ...

Is NCLEX-RN correct? I always understood it that we put which board of nursing has licensed us.

Hmm. I agree with the other nurses, smoking while in school is not going to do you any favors. Not sure of ARCC policy, in general, but I attended another MANE program school, and we did not test. That being said, many employers do and if the school ...

Hello, I bring my personal life to allnurses.com for needed advice from nurses much more experienced than I. About me: I'm in my 30s, been in healthcare for 15 yrs (8 mo as an RN), married, and mom of a brand new kindergartener. I've got 1 year lef...

You will not be sorry if you choose Inver Hills. I hope that's where you decided to go. Their instructors are not comparable to any others- they're absolutely amazing!

My original plan for an educational path was RN-BSN and DPN to work as a Nurse Practioner (possibly mental health). Ever since I've found the allnurses.com site and I've been reading about the different specialites, Forsensic Nursing as intrigued me ...

That's not entirely true, unfortunately. At my school, ihcc, the lowest score was 11.2. You need to be in the "best" 50 applying. I would guess that it'd be similar to F14 scores, but slightly higher with people understanding what's going on and ge...

I'm in! I signed my name on the line and am handing in my check on Monday. I AM SO EXCITED!!!! Anyone one else going to be with me this fall at Inver Hills?

A friend went and talked to a counselor to get real stats from the last admissions (she's applying for the spring program). The lowest GPA they took was a 3.25, the lowest combined score was 11.46, and the highest TEAS score was 93%. The most importa...

Very nice. If only politicians and educational leaders cam get a read at this. Maybe they'd stop shoving college down everyone's throats.

I'm from Minnesota. Our podiatrists do not doing any nail trimmings or callus debridements. However, they treat nail fungus, will fix ingrown nails, and debride wounds. We refer patients our to foot care nurses and their small businesses. This starts...

Hello there! I was recently accepted into a RN nursing program, therefore, a bunch of scholarship opportunities have opened up. One of the scholarships that I am applying to requests a resume showcasing my education accomplishments, leadership experi...

The first word I see is "new". Forgive, for I am not an expert on resumes, but is this necessary to emphasize how brand new you are. Won't this be apparent in you work experience? One thing that I've always been told to put down is numbers. How many...

4.0 with an 86%. I know another gal with same GPA and an 88% getting in.

Sara Lennertz.

I know. My original thinking was to wait until I received my acceptance letter and then accept dual admission. According to the letter, we sign to give them permission to transfer transcripts to Metro State. This is a natural part of transferring sch...

I've only been taking classes at Inver and applied to this school only. I'll take stats this summer at Metro State and then I'll be done with generals.

I go to IHCC and applied for the Fall 2014 program. I went to "check" on the status of applications and letters (really just fishing for information) and was told that they'll START to mail letters out Saturday, 3/15/14. I was pretty ticked because t...

Wow, very interesting. This case has my husband shaking in his boots.

I have a toddler now. It's difficult. I wish I didn't hesitate a year before going back to school; they just sleep that first year and eat. I think women put careers before family too much. Having the baby now works best for your family. I don't get ...
