My husband is planning on joining the Marines the beginning of 2016. I am set to start a nursing program in August of this year (2015). I would think I'd be about halfway through the program when my husband finishes all of his training and get statio...

Hello everyone! I'm applying for the Fall 2015 program at Faulkner state community college in Bay Minette. Right now I have 101 points for my a&p I and II, microbiology, and prerequisite classes. I'm hoping to make at least an 80 on the TEAS whic...

Thanks guys! and congratulations Lexis! I'm sorry to hear that, FutureRN2142. Don't give up though!

I just looked it up. It changed it to Associate Degree Nurse.

Yep, it's faulkner. I didn't apply anywhere else. The letter is dated June 12th.

I got my acceptance letter today!!! í ½í¸

Hello All! I have finished my pre-requisites and my application for a nursing program has finally been sent in. I started pre-requisites May 2013 and finished in December 2014. Sometimes it is easy to get discouraged and second guess nursing as a car...

Hey Lexis, congratulations on getting a higher TEAS score! To answer your question about a preference between Bishop and Faulkner, I personally prefer Faulkner. The reason being Faulkner is only 20 minutes away from me whereas Bishop is about 1 hour ...

I have the microbiology, both anatomy classes, and a statistics class. I got A's in all of them. Even though you haven't taken A&P II yet I would still apply. It wouldn't hurt and you'd hate to later find out that other people with your scores we...

Hi FSCCRN2017! I wish they would take into account those grades too! I wanted to apply for the Spring 2014 program but I wouldn't have finished my Micro class by the application deadline and I needed the extra points. I ended up having a total of 2...

Yep, I just sent it in this week

Have you sent in your applications, futureRN2142?

Just Faulkner. I thought about applying to Bishop but it's a good 1 hour and 15 minute drive for me which is a bit too far for me.

My overall science score was low. If I remember correctly, I think it was in the mid 50s. I'll be praying for you too! I hope we're both accepted. As long as my score doesn't get any lower I'll be happy lol. Hopefully it will improve at least a poin...

Awesome! Have you taken the TEAS V yet? I took it in January and got a 69. I ended up coming down with strep the next day though so I'm hoping that I will do better when I take it March 13th.

Wow! Thank you guys so much for all of the advice! I really appreciate y'all sharing your personal stories. After reading what you've all written I do think I will pursue my ADN. It will be hard but it sounds like it will be worth it in the long run....

GucciBeaR143, I only have my pre-requisites for my ADN but I have considered just taking a few more classes so I can get my BSN first instead of doing a bridge program later. I'm wondering though if my husband would ever be stationed somewhere long e...

Thank you for the response, Lulu Belle. I think my gut is telling me to get my ADN too but the idea of being away from my spouse is saddening. I probably will get my ADN though. It's only two more semesters than the LPN program. Do you happen to know...

Awesome. Thanks for the information!

Thanks for replying, Mrs Future RN! I feel better now about being accepted. All I'm really nervous about now is the TEAS test. Congratulations about being accepted into Bishop! I looked into their program but I live in Summerdale so Faulkner would b...

Thanks for the responses, guys. I’m thinking the M.D. route isn’t for me. I would like it but I wouldn’t want to neglect patients for my family obligations or neglect family for patient obligations. I’ll probably go the NP or PA route, the learning w...

Hello everyone, I know this is a debate that has gone back and forth a lot between people but I would like some help on the subject. I am a married, 17 year old female who wants to work in the healthcare field. When I was about 14 my first thought w...

Thank you for your responses. I have considered becoming a NP. I would actually be quite happy with becoming one, but I have heard that the education is just more nursing theory which isn't something I would think could help me. But this could be bia...
