  1. Prereqs way in advance?

    Not sure how the nursing programs in your area work, but over here and everywhere else that I know of, you have to apply and be accepted. To have everything planned out so far in advance is just...
  2. Going to be dismissed from BSN program

    So they've already re-admitted you and then you failed again? I think you can at least try to write the letter. If they already admitted you once before though you may just want to look into the lvn....
  3. How old were you

    Looks like I'm the SPRING CHICKEN SO FAR!!! I started
  4. Okay now I understand. Definitely try to think positive in your case because you really never know if they'll deny you or you'll be accepted. It all depends on the pool of applicants. You could apply...
  5. Have you actually been denied from every program you've applied to? Or do you just assume you will be
  6. Two weeks is fine. The HESI is pretty generalized, so the material you should know. Unless you took the subjects years ago, I think you will be surprised when you see how easy it
  7. It says "care of children and childbearing families". Thats the class you're looking for. To confirm for yourself you can look at at course
  8. Whaaat??Male Nursing Student

    I personally haven't had any issues as being a male. In the beginning I was similar to you, thinking that there would be a difference but there really isn't. As long as I am professional and just...
  9. I say go for it!!! If it is successful then you can get right into a midwifery position and bypass L&D. You also have a point about listening to strangers on the internet with experience. Worst...
  10. Is this normal!?

    The only advice I can give is to look at the syllabus and try to read prior to going into class. That way when the teacher goes over the powerpoint, it will all be reinforcement for
  11. secondtimer, I understand what you're trying to say; however, schooling and actual day-to-day experience do not equate. When you start your BSN you will go through fundamentals where they are going to...
  12. The OBGYN's go through years of residency before they are practicing on their own. I understand time may be of the essence but who is going to hire a Nurse Midwife, with no experience as a Nurse at...
  13. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    Well thats the thing about this nursing program. They don't have a pharmacology class. Instead, they incorporate the pharm throughout the program. Each test we have a certain amount of medications to...
  14. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    By the way, as a word of advice to all of you ladies and gents in the oncoming spring class. During this idle time while you all wait to start, learn the dosage calculations (don't focus on...
  15. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    Yea you will have to buy uniforms before the orientation because everyone has to show up to the orientation in their full uniform. Tuition isn't bad, I am out of district and I pay like avg $1300 a...
  16. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    Well, this is the only program that I know so my opinion is biased. If I had to out a number to it I would give it an 7/8. There are things that could be better but also things that could be worse....
  17. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    Basically, they are going to have you go through the motions just as if you were fully accepted. Purchasing uniforms, getting immunizations, drug test, all that. Then when you go to the orientation...
  18. Currently ADN, should I have gone for BSN?

    I see it this way, at the end of the day you're both going to take the SAME Nclex exam. As an ADN you're learning the necessary skills to pass the test, same as the BSN. But they do have more...
  19. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    No problem, I should be graduating in may. As long as this semester doesn't get the best of me lol. It won't, I

    They told me I was accepted the week before. right after the mandatory
  21. Applying to Schools

    My advice to you is to look at all the schools in your area. Read their application processes. Make a checklist for each one and what they require. If you work off of a checklist then you won't be...
  22. Just go for the RN. Since that sounds like your ultimate end goal, you might as well just go for
  23. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    Also, good luck to everyone applying. I don't remember my score when i applied, I think it was in the 700's but it if makes anyone with a low score feel better, I personally got in as an alternate. So...
  24. College of the Mainland. Spring 2018 ADN

    To answer your question on what the program is like, I am in the 3rd semester and so far its not bad. I feel like the program is definitely challenging, in a good way. They don't take it easy on you,...
  25. Dating during Nursing school

    I don't think its good to date while in the program; however, people still do it either way. It just takes discipline, nothing more, nothing
