I don't know for sure, but I would assume the number of waitlisted students that get admitted depends on how many accepted students choose not to attend opening a space for more students, so there is...
Earlier this year I started a career change by leaving my office job and starting work as a nursing assistant at a hospital part time while going back to school for nursing. Right now I'm doing...
It's been about 5 months since my original post, so I wanted to post an update. At that point, I'd been working as a nursing assistant for about 4 months and feeling overwhelmed most of the time....
I'm not sure where you're located, but I'm looking at doing a 12-month ABSN that should cost about $20k for me as New York State resident. To be a NY state resident, you have to live in-state for 12...
I mentioned this above, but to answer your question, my undergrad GPA was 3.85 and I have a 4.0 in all my prereqs. I did most of my prereqs at community college, but a few online at a private...
There's some good information about the program in general on allnurses if you search. If you mean more information about the application process, I don't think there's too much on here now. I...
@emamazing Hi, I haven't applied to BU at all before. I'm only now completing my prerequisites for the program. I had taken some of them as part of my previous BA, but it's been a long time so I...
I'm applying for the BAT program for 2017-2018. I submitted my application back in August when it opened and have been following through the process since then. I finished my BA in 2007 so I've been...
Thanks for sharing! It sounds like you've got a good system set up and that seems to be key. I'm trying to learn how to do things not only faster, but also smarter like someone else mentioned....
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience. What you mentioned about co-workers is something I need to remember to - I work with a great team who are able to pitch in when I need help. It's...
One of the things that attracted me to nursing is the variety of setting we can work in, so maybe in the future, if I can't get this "behind" feeling to a manageable level, I can look to areas other...
Thanks for sharing! I think this is a good and different way to look at it - even if I'm not "behind" in reality, I may still *feel* "behind" because I'm always anticipating what's next. And that...
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! This definitely resonates with me... I've always been a high achiever and try to throw myself 100% into things to be "the best." Starting in a new...
Thanks for sharing this - I have been trying to find ways to improve as an aide (making a checklist of things I need to do, trying to do things in a more ordered way, etc.). I'll have to keep trying...
Thanks for your comment - I certainly feel underpaid working as a nursing assistant for all of the hard work I do! I am not able to live on what I make now (under $12/hr) also because I'm only...
It's good to know that it's possible to move from feeling behind to feeling one step ahead :-) I try to stay one step ahead in life - like you said, leaving early, getting schoolwork done ahead of...
Thanks for sharing - it's comforting to know it's normal and not a sign that I'm not cut out for this! I identify with what you said here - after some shifts, I feel like I provided really good...
