I just know you will get in. I wish you lot's of success with it. I have decided to get out of nursing. I have been in pre req classes full time for two years making mostly A's and some B's, and lately I am reconsidering my dedication to it. I wa...

I give you a high five. If you read enough of these posts, it is like your in high school or something. I am also an A student, but I would never cut down anyone who is not making these grades. It does not mean they are not serious or giving it th...

That is funny about the guitar class. If you took because it sounded good, then more power to you. Lol. Guitar playing nurse is funny. I am taking 14 credits this semester, but may take more next semester. I have a hubby and two kids. It is kin...

Your quote says your waiting for your letter, does that mean you found out already if you got in? or you don't know yet? I will keep my fingers crossed for you. :)

Speaking from experience, I left a CC that was very close to home. I transferred to a University, the closest one to me at that, and it is still a 50 minute drive in rush hour traffic. I absolutely hate the drive and it is only 23 miles away. I w...

Call your schools nursing department and ask them. That is the best way to answer questions to your concerns. I am a former student of WCCCD, to my knowledge there is not a waiting list there. They take an enormous amount of students compared to o...

From what I have found in my research, a lot of nursing schools are kind of secret about certain aspects of their programs. Some of them will tell you what they want you to hear, not always the truth of the matter.

Just wanted to correct you. There is not a waiting list at Eastern or U of M. Don't know who told you that, but it is not true. As for GPA, most nursing schools are expecting you keep your GPA at 3.5 or higher. The two private schools in the area...

I attend the University in Ypsilanti. There is no waitlist as a previous poster replied in this forum. U of M does not have a wait list either. I think that is basically a CC thing. You are recommended to keep your GPA at 3.5 or above, but accord...

Thanks for the suggestion. That is funny, hanging out by the door. Lol, I am not a club member yet, they might call security on me, heh. I will still try to find someone in their program on campus. Don't know why all the secrecy with it though. ...

I was just curious if other colleges were dealing with high amounts of pre nursing students trying to get accepted in the nursing program. I have gone to two schools now, have not yet applied, but will in the spring for the Fall of 06 Nursing progra...

It depends on what state you are in I guess. PCA is a fancy word for nurse aide. I worked as one for many years without a certification from the state. They do have CNA's here, but they work in home care or nursing care facilities etc. In the hos...

I agree with you and Marie. The fact that these people are attending classes is a good thing. Some people don't even make it that far. School is not a priority to everyone. At least they are attempting to get an education. I go to school with a ...

Forgot to ask you, do you know if your school has high numbers of applicants with limited slots open for student nurses?

Well much luck and success to you on your entry in to your school's program. I did walk in to the nursing department to see if they had any kind of mentor program, and they looked at me, like I was an alien. Then both women I spoke with told me th...

\ I am a student at EMU. Where did you get your information on their failure of good pass rates? Have you known anyone who has applied to their nursing program? Just wondering. They also have a MSN program. They accept 80 students a year for the ...

I may put my app in at some other schools, but there are only a few I am willing to go to. I am at a University and just hoping all goes well there with the nursing program. The CC's seems to have long wait lists.

I don't mean to sound funny, but is there a market for LPN's anymore? I know in my area, they are requesting RN's and some hospital's even say BSN preferred. The shortage of nurses is critical, so I am sure that BSN thing doesn't really matter. I ...

That's hilarious!! I think when I get done with all these pre req's including the lovely Organic/BioChem class, I will want to run naked to the beer store myself!!

Are you willing to wait that long? I don't know if I could stand it.

I am also applying for Fall of 06. Wrapping up two years worth of pre req's, last one being Chemistry, yuck....! Next semester taking Nutrition, Lifespan, Engl. Comp II and math. We apply in Jan and deadline is May of 06 for the fall semester of n...

I was talking with a RN at the local gas station yesterday. We were discussing her job, and my schooling. I told her so many people want to go in to nursing and she thought that strange. She said there is definitely a shortage all over the country...

Thanks for the link, I just clicked it and I will apply. Sounds like a grea service.

Well it is getting a littel easier to figure out now. We break things down by their group and then give them the full name of the compound. So these have been Isomers. I am glad I do not have to learn quantum numbers. That looks very spooky to me...

Geez Louise!! What did the other nurses think about her I wonder? I would tell my instructor and maybe the instructor can observe her in action and have her written up again.
