The trick worked for me...I took the test on the 24th at 8am and tried to re-register on the website at noon the same day and I got the popup. On friday I found out I passed!! I think that the trick has worked for enough people to say that it reall...

You're welcome! Hurst came to my school and did a 4 day (8hrs each day) review that was actually finished before we even graduated and I think Kaplan is 2 weeks but maybe 4 hrs each day? Those are the only 2 that I know anything about. :)

I just graduated on May 21st from AACC and I can tell you how it was for me. After grades were finalized, the school mailed our applications to the board of nursing. When I was ready to pay the NCLEX people the $200 it costs to take the test, I did...

Hi Lynette, You can get in touch with the recruiters by calling the main hospital number and asking to be transferred to HR or to the nurse recruiter directly if their number is not listed on the website. Hope this helps! Good luck!

St Joe's, Maryland General, Holy Cross, Howard County General and Children's National Medical Center are also hiring. I've found that since I don't have medical experience aside from nursing school, applying online is not enough. You have to call t...

Congratulations on getting in! That's the first big hurdle. :) As far as shoes go for the program, they didn't allow us to wear crocs but we were allowed to wear danskos (all white ones). The rule is they have to be all leather and all white, so I...

I just graduated from AACC on May 21st. :) I actually did my first semester of nursing school in another state but I will say that the first semester is the worst because they are teaching you how to think like a nurse. I think this is true of ever...

Thanks everyone for all the great info on here. Ukstudent, I see that you are in Annapolis...is the commute bad from there to WHC? I am very interested in the hospital but am worried about spending so much time in the car!

Yes! But it's not easy. I moved from AZ to the east coast after my 1st semester of nursing school. When I found out I had to move, I immediately called the director of nursing at the school I wanted to go to, sent my transcripts, jumped through al...

I am in block I and here's my schedule: M 8-12:30pm Pharm T 8-12pm Theory W 6:30-2pm clinical TH 6:30-2pm clinical F OFF!!! for the first 5 weeks of the semester we were in class on W and Th from 8-3:30pm but now that we are in the hospital, we go...

We lost one to the random drug test (talk about a dumb reason to get booted!) and I think there are maybe 1 or 2 who are really struggling, but for the most part my classmates and I are doing alright. I was really stressed about starting school but ...

....and I have questions for all of those who have gone before me! I've been addicted to this board for the last few weeks and I've gotten some great information so far. Boomerfriend, Calzonan, thrashej, ItalianRN2b, and mattsmom64 I think you all...

I start on January 16th.....and I'm SO nervous and excited!! :

I agree with what everyone has said so far. I am in Chandler too--LOVE being close the the mall and all the restaurants in the area! I recommend Mill Avenue in Tempe as well...there are cute shops and Tempe Town Lake is right up the street and is ...

Thank you both for responding. I appreciate the advice! I've already ordered a Littman online and I've started ordering some of the books from the book list. Boomerfriend, I'm happy to hear that the instructors are good, because that was one of th...

I applied March 27th, so I guess technically I only had to wait a semester, but all those pre reqs took forever too. I just can't wait to get started with actual nursing school!! Thanks for the congrats. :)

I FINALLY GOT IN!! I can't even believe it.........I feel like I have been waiting forever. I got accepted to Phoenix College's traditional program....anybody else out there?? It was my 3rd choice but at this point I am happy with anything!!! Tha...

Hi all, I am a pre nursing student, just waiting to get into nursing school. I spend a lot of time on this website trying to soak in all the information I can about the field. My favorite threads are the ones where many people share their real life...

hey ange822s, it's great to have someone else taking it online with same book even! i wish we did labs in person but they are all online on a cd rom. i feel like i probably won't get a much out of it as i would if it were "live" so i will have to w...

I see the list is growing...Good luck everyone! I am taking it online (not by choice, just the only way it fits in with my work schedule) and the book we are using is Microbiology by Tortora eighth ed. I'm happy to see some of you are using the sam...

Count me in the club!! I start on Jan 9th. It's my last pre req for nursing school. FINALLY!! :) Bring on the slides!

I'm thinking about volunteering at one of the hospitals in the Phoenix area while I'm taking my pre reqs just so I feel like I have SOME kind of experience in a hospital. I've wanted to be an RN forever, but I've never really spent much time in a ho...

I think I must have the same instructor as you...sadly, I was not warned though. I was shocked to get a 45 out of 100 on my first essay assignment since writing has always been my strong point. Like you, I always did really well on those essays in ...

Thanks for the recommendations! I think I'll check out glendale for patho and maybe micro too. I'm barely making it with a B right now in A & P II online and I definitely want to take as many classes as I can in person in the future. :) I rea...

Where is everybody taking pathopys? I need to sign up for it, but I'm not sure where to take it...? :)
