One of my good friends failed Fundamentals of Nursing. She retook it, and went on through the rest of the program. By her second year, she was making B's, and during the last semester she was the only student in her class that received an A in Adult ...

You are right by saying that you must change your mindset. I had it in the back of my mind that I couldn't do this, because I wansn't an " A student" and even the "A students" were making C's so if I'm not an "A student" then how could I possibly mak...

I got in with a 3.3 GPA, after the second time applying to a Community College. I had all pre-reqs, and co-reqs done, and got a 112 on the NLN.

Hi! I am at SWTCC, in their nursing program. I am going into my second semester this fall. If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]

I am a mom and a student as well, with a 2.5 year old son. I started taking pre-reqs as soon as I got out of h.s. In the middle of them, I got preg. with my son. I still continued pre-reqs until he was born. Then, took a couple of semesters off. I st...

I am starting my second semester of an RN program in the fall. I had no previous medical experience. Infact, I started pre-requisites right out of high school. My mom is an RN, and I knew that this is what I wanted to do. The reward is great, and the...

I graduate in December 2007 as well. I can't wait!!!

I'm sorry I really can't relate to being an LPN, or going to LPN school. But, I am in nursing school at a two year community college for my RN. I have never worked as a CNA, LPN or in the medical field period, and I am only 22 years old. At first, I ...

I had a similar situation with another student in my nursing program. I knew the girl in high school, and she lived down the street from where I grew up. I will call her Beck. She was in one of my pre-reqs, along with her friend Gen. When we were in ...

I have been enjoying a much needed break from school, but at the same time it feels weird. I have been cleaning, spending time with my son and husband, swimming, and sleeping in really late.

Thank You all for this information. I am not a nurse tech yet, but hopefully will be one soon. I am hoping to work at St. Francis. I don't know if this was already mentioned, but Methodist starts their new grad. RN's at 19 something an hour. One of m...

I wouldn't really blame it on the 18 year old's age for her acting that way. It does seem immature, and I would not carpool with her, because it will probably only cause more problems. It sounds like you were only asking her a question, and she comp...

I live in Memphis, TN. One of my friends recently graduated with her BSN, and her starting pay is $20.00/hr. plus shift dif.

Don't worry. You aren't the only one discouraged. I am thinking about transferring to another nursing school, but it seems to me that they are all the same. I wonder if there are any that are decent. I guess I will just have to grin and bear it.

I am thinking about transfering to ASU, west memphis campus. I would really like to know about the school. I need to know things like: how many hours a week are classes and clinicals, how many days a week, and at what times. I also would like to know...

I go to a two year ASN school(4 semesters) at a community college. My cirriculum is the following : semester 1: Foundations class and clinical (mine was on a telemetry floor at a hospital) Semester 2: Nursing of the childbearing family with clinical...

Everyone makes mistakes. I see what you mean about the age diffrence thing. I am one of the youngest in my nursing program. I also see myself making more mistakes then people that are older then me. They seem to already know alot of things that we ar...

Which CC do you go to? I see you live in Mississippi.

My CC sounds alot like your schools. I have had 2 to 3 diffrent teachers in class with a diffrent clinical instructor, and they all want things diffrent. Just trying to keep up with this is enough. They also tell us wrong infomation, contradict thems...

I am currently at southwest in the RN program. I do not know how long you have to have your LPN license. You should call and ask them. Call 333-5000 and ask them to connect you to the nursing school. You should get Carmen, the secretary and she shoul...

I'm soooo glad you like it. Keep us posted. :)

Started pre-reqs straight out of high school (age 18) Started ADN program in aug. "05 (21) Will be 22, a few months shy of my 23rd birthday when I graduate with my ADN My plans are to go on to get my BSN and then my MSN.:stone

I had the same problem. I knew that I wanted to do something in the medical field (i.e. dental hygiene, nursing, or radiology tech.) I chose nursing because you can do so many diffrent things. You can work at a hospital, nursing home, doctor's office...

There is also a place called CNA supplemental that trains you in a like 8 weeks. One of my friends goes to concorde, and not only is it expensive, but it is like 6-8 months I think.
