What is going to mess me up are all the drops I had in my 20s. Best score I can get is 14 unfortunately, so don't feel bad. ?

At either campus. PM me please. I have some questions and couldn't find answers anywhere online.

Message me anytime. I am in that same boat. Failed out...TWICE. ADHD, divorce, coparenting, sister committed suicide, and a full-time job. I had no business trying to hold on. And as I turn 48 today I still have to keep going. My dream hasn't died, it just got a year older. I get to see two cohorts become nurses. Starting in January, I get to start all over and do 4 semesters. I'm not going to be dismissive and say "if I can do it so can you". Everyone is different. What I will say is if you get back up you will be one of the most headstrong, grizzled, combat-ready nurses you know. You'll hold that license and cherish that you fought like hell to get it. I say this because I feel like I will too. When I originally started school I was already non-traditional at age 45. So c'mon let's go be some bad-*** nurses! You in?

I have two NCLEX-RN books ATI Comprehensive Review 19th edition & HESI Comprehensive Review 7th edition My question is this: can they be used interchangeably to learn content in school? For instance, if I have an ATI curriculum am I hindered by the use of the HESI book (the color images and layout grab me)? I just have the ATI book because we had to get it. It's a good book but it seems too plain for my taste. In addition, how could studying from the HESI book impact my preparedness for an ATI exam? Thank you for your input on this.

Good morning! Can anyone tell me what the student nurses do as duties at Houston Methodist hospitals? I'm starting that position next month. To my knowledge, they're CNA (PCAs here) but I'm not sure what else they do or can do.

Anyone have an idea of how the class schedule is the first semester of the LVN program?
-
I was looking on the Alvin CC page and it says the GPA is based on the completed courses and not those in progress. With that being said, has ACC admitted anyone with A&P in progress? I know they say in theory you can have a 4.0 in the other courses (ENGL & PSYC) but should a prospective student bother applying with the aforementioned A&P in progress? In that scenario ACC only says that all prerequisites be complete prior to the start of class. Their #1 criteria seems to be HESI scores followed by completed prerequisite GPA.

That's awesome. I did speak to the nursing school and you can in fact test out as a CNA after the first semester of the ADN program and after the first two semesters and a summer session, can take the NCLEX-PN. I wish I didn't have to wait until January 2020 but that's life. I will be 44 when I start school. I'm here in Texas.

That is my initial instinct. I was somehow thinking that there might be an unforeseen advantage of being an LVN first. Part of this stems from me being in this industry for 30 years and growing to tired of it. It's why I ended up a CNA years ago. I know as a salaried manager I can hold this job until starting school in January 2020 while knocking out the prereqs. The hours aren't my problem. The problem is the lack of any control over my schedule. It is my ideal situation that I would be able to have a schedule that permits me to spend a reasonable amount of time with my family while they're still young. Boys are now 5 and my wife (which if I tell her age I die, ?).

Unfortunately, life changes have me.looking at these options for nursing school. Option 1. LVN Aug 2019 - Aug 2020 Transition Program Jun 2021 - Jun 2022 Option 2. EMT-B now EMT-P Aug 2019 - Aug 2020 Transition Program Jun 2021 - Jun 2022 Option 3. A&P 1 this summer ADN Jan 2020 - Jun 2021 I'm desperate to get out of working 70hr weeks in restaurants. The first two options just get me away from the industry sooner. Looking at it on paper I should go with Option 3. But I welcome your opinions on the other options.
