Hello, does anyone know of any current assistance programs that help healthcare workers buy a house? I have done some research and came across Every day heroes, down payment plus, and nurse next door. I was wondering if anyone has used these services. I also know of rural or urban areas that will pay up to 50%of the house to show the neighborhood is coming around or becoming better. I have also seen if purchasing a fixer upper they will pay for the repairs and you may see the money after closing. Please let me know if anyone has used these services and how it went.

Hi, I will be graduating this upcoming April. I am interested in knowing how thus program works? Does the government pay a lump sum or payments? Do I have to pay the interest or is that covered by the program ? Does the hospital or clinic take money out of your pay check or is it separate from the program? Etc.... any information would be greatly helpful. I have read through the online information but it would he great to hear first hand. Thank you!

I am projected to graduate in April '18, I decided to write this, because I would have liked to have found this when I was debating on nursing school and had questions. I hope this helps someone in the same or similar boat. I applied for Resurrection University because it had an accelerated BSN (days and nights) program. I took the prerequisites at Harry S. Truman and Wilbur Wright CCC. I got my Associates of Science degree at Harry S. Truman. I took the TEAS test and passed. You need a 69 or greater to get accepted (At least in 2016, when I applied it was) I did have a classmate that said she got a 66 and was still accepted by the committee board, I am not sure if it was because she is a phlebotomist or what. I guess you can discuss it with your rep. Anyways. I did the night/weekends program. Orientation, take a tour of the school, ask any questions, even if you think they might not be important, take a picture for your ID, you get it same day within a few minutes, you get a welcome package with important information. I recorded my orientation, they can also email you the PPT that explains the breakdown of how the program works and what you can expect. Because the EW = Evening/weekend is longer by one semester, the first semester of the program is 14 weeks long with an additional class called Transitional Success (NO cost) they lecture about all the resources you have available in the Library, Tutoring, and among other things. They also give you pizza, and drinks at the last lecture. Night: Evening/Weekend = 5 semesters, Which is 10 terms. Terms = A, B, C, D, E, F, A, B, C, D Clinical's are Saturday - Sunday, placements can be within a 50 miles radius of Chicago. Rain or shine, you need to be on time. They really push for car pooling, if you drive, or take the bus, train, uber, etc.. Placement is only switched in extreme circumstances, other than that you are placed and are to attend that placement. Usually the first two OR last two Saturday and Sunday's, after that it just Sunday or just Saturday Clinical's. Classes are during the week, typically can be: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 5P - 8P 5P - 7P My elective was Thursday 4p - 6p (Not the same day as regular class) So I had class 4 days M - Th. GRADES 100-92 = A 91- 84 = B 83 – 75 = C 74 – 67 = D Below 67 =F Lab & Clinical Components are PASS or FAIL Level 3 •Complex Adult Care •Leadership & Management •Nursing Role Transition Level 2 •Mental Health •Community •Research in Nursing •Ethics in Nursing Level 1 •Foundational Courses Semester 1 Level 1Term 1 & 2 = 14 Weeks Pathophysiology Health Assessment (class & lab) Pharmacology (ATI) Semester 2 Term 3 > 7 weeks Foundations of Nursing (class, lab & clinical) (ATI) Term 4 > 7 weeks Adult Health 1 (class & clinical) (ATI in Adult Health 2) Elective - Palliative Care (additional cost) This is what I took. There are others that are offered but it varies when they are offered. I would recommend to take it as soon as possible when they become available. Note: You just need one elective Semester 3 Level 2 Term 5 > 7 weeks Women & Newborn Health Nursing (class/clinical) (ATI) Ethics in Nursing Term 6 > 7 weeks Mental Health Nursing (ATI) Gerontological Health Nursing Semester 4 Term 7 > 7 weeks Community Health Nursing (is continuous 14 weeks) Pediatrics Health Nursing (ATI) Term 8 > 7 weeks Community Health Nursing (ATI) Research in Nursing Semester 5 Level 3 Term 9 > 7 weeks Adult Health Nursing II (Lecture/Clinical) (ATI) Leadership & Management in Nursing (ATI) Term 10 > 7 weeks Role Transition ***Two weeks into role transition, there is a comprehensive ATI that determines if you will pass the NCLEX, if you get below a 69 you fail, you can retake a second time before graduation. You should get somewhere above 90's. If you fail, the third time, you pay for a remedial class. (Not too sure, this is what I have heard from others that have taken it passed or failed) ____________________________________________________________________ Days program I am not too sure about the day program. I do have a mock schedule and some information from people passing by. This is very heavy and accelerated, some people have kept their job full time or part time and are doing fine, but others work part time and find it difficult. It varies, but all the more, if you can do it, DO IT! I have a lot of respect for people in my cohort that are parents, working and going to school. Classes and Clinical are during the weekdays, so you can have class Monday 8a - 11a and clinical Tuesday 6a - 3p...etc.. Level 1 Full Semester Courses NUR 3233 Health Assessment and Promotion •Includes class and lab NUR 3140 Pathophysiologic Mechanisms NUR 3240 Pharmacotherapeutics in Nursing (ATI) Term A NUR 3141 Foundations of Nursing Practice (ATI) •Includes class, lab & clinical Term B NUR 3241 Adult Health 1 •Includes class & clinical Level 2 Term 1 NUR 4141 Women & Newborn Health Nursing (ATI) NUR 4910 Nursing Elective (1-2 SH)( **you can take it here...OR) Term 2 NUR 4440 Research in Nursing NUR 4441 Mental Health Nursing (ATI) NUR 4910 Nursing Elective (1-2 SH) (**here) Term 3 NUR 4240 Ethics in Nursing NUR 4241 Pediatric Health Nursing (ATI) NUR 4910 Nursing Elective (1-2 SH) (**here) Term 4 NUR 4440 Gerontological Nursing NUR 4541 Community Health Nursing* 15 week course (ATI) NUR 4910 Nursing Elective (1-2 SH) (**here) Level 3 Term 5 NUR 4640 Leadership & Management in Nursing (ATI) NUR 4641 Adult Health Nursing 2 (ATI) NUR 4910 Nursing Elective (1-2 SH) (**here) Term 6 NUR 4470 Professional Role Transition Any other questions or information I would be more than happy to answer or try to answer.

I start in about a week Sept 6. I personally, got all my paperwork done asap, ordered my uniform, books, and supplies asap. I have read that some people start getting all their supplies the first week of class. It all depends on you and what works for you. I have just read through a bunch of forums on here. It really does vary. I will try to update when I start but Good luck and I hope the best for you in your journey.

I was a committee and still accepted!! Good luck!

For any calculations were you able to use a calculator? For the nclex can you use a basic calculator or scientific? Thanks

Congrats! NurseGirl......Ha! Yeah I had actually went that saturday, the week of acceptance and tried on my scrubs at the store because I read it takes a few days to a few weeks. My fiance told me to just measure and order online I said uh no. I can't return them if their already embroidered. So we made a trip to the scrub store. I was actually surprised at the sizes. I am normally a small or medium and the scrub pants were X-Large and the shirt was Large. They are designed way too small. So I had to order out another pair of pants and a shirt. I ordered those and to be embroidered on 6/25/2016 and I am still waiting for them! I called and they said they were not in yet and I should anticipate them shortly and I would be called. I am on the same boat, I really do want to try to begin the program overprepared than underprepared. I'm sure there are people out there that catch on quick and get things done on their own time. I just got my stethoscope and finishing my requirements. I go to orientation next Friday. I have a girl in my current Chem class who is also in my nursing program. We're both excited! LOL

Me too. I almost dropped the phone when I got the call. I was so impatient I was rushing the nurse for my blood work. I need everything like yesterday. Lol. My fiancé thinks I'm overworking myself because I'm looking at nursing totes, reading forums, looking for shoes, and even read I should invest in a laser printer because the cartridges will last over a 1000 pages. I just invested alot of money into this prgram and I'm just itching to make sure I do what I can to be ahead or stay afloat of the game. I don't have any medical background and it's pretty new to me so that's probably another reason it's scary but I really believe i can do it and it's something I've been wanting to do for awhile but I've always been scared because I had to work and now that I'm fortunate enough to have my fiancé help me I can go through with this full time. And I'm super nerdy excited!!! Lol

Yes, still registered through ATI for an approved location and paid through ATI. I do not show 1 out of 2 test. I only show random test numbers like test 28 or test 35. It does organize it by the dates in which you took them not by how many out of how many. Hope this helps

the school doesn't do anything but proctor the exam. ATI holds your information and results. For example, I took the test at CCC and went to the school of my choice where i was accepted, used their computer, logged into my ATI website and printed out my results right there. I was told you can have CCC print them out but it suppose to cost like 10 bucks. In simple terms the way you take the test at the school is the same way you take the test at a testing location. Hope this helps
