  1. Need help with direction for dx

    JackieHouse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have searched for years to try and help, but it is getting so bad now I have nowhere else to turn. I hope someone can push me in the right direction. This involves my spouse and I do have his...

  2. Need help with direction for dx

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in General Nursing

    I am not specifically looking for a dx, I realize I can’t go online and get that, I’m looking for anything, anything at all to help with finding some sliver of anything we haven’t tried or...

  3. Discourteous Fellow Student

    JackieHouse posted a topic in General Students

    I'm looking for advice-good, bad, and ugly. I started a PN program last year and we've been in clinicals since Feb. I befriended another student the first few days of the school year and although...

  4. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I enjoy reading everyone's topics and debates and thought I'd add my little two cents in. I applied to TWO RN colleges and an LPN college and was accepted to all three! I will be starting as an LPN...

  7. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    So we're seniors now! It's been a few weeks more and we're all starting to feel the burnout, even myself-who was amped up fully at the first part of this school year. We can't do much more than the...

  8. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thought I'd post an update though it has been a few months. We have been through a few more segments and are now in the LPN section of the program (the previous sections were basic hc worker). We...

  9. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yay! Congrats! It's definitely been a challenge but it will be worth it! Good luck to you too!! We lost another student this week. I really have no idea what went on, but after some snide remarks to...

  10. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's terrifying, tbh. You HAVE to stay on your game, class is from 7:30-2:10 (will go to 2:25 in Jan 17), and we spend about 3-4 hours after class lets out working on reading the chapters, doing...

  11. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I did! I got into all three, Chipola's letter was received about a week after I heard back from Haney. Gulf Coast called me for an alternate position, but I had already accepted at Haney and politely...

    It was absolutely brutal. Orientation is Nov 10th, class start is Nov 14th. I'm going down this morning to register for

  13. Happy Dance-LPN Program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yes! I've been told to be prepared. This one is a 46 week course, 5 days/week. It moves very fast, after 3 months we start clinicals x3 days/wk. I read the letter describing what we are supposed to do...

  14. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    JackieHouse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a bit of a story, and I'll try to keep names out of it. I decided to go back to nursing school after setting down my pride and realizing I was not going to make it in engineering....around...

  15. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of your advice is spot on. I'm tough, just frustrated. Fortunately I'm hardheaded and persistent enough that I'm not going to quit, just look for more silver linings. I will wait till October for...

  16. Gulf Coast State College | Fall 2016

    JackieHouse replied to anurseinthemaking's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got the letter today, I did not get in. Strangely I'm not totally disappointed though. I'm hoping to get in at Chipola more than GCSC, so I'm going to finish up that application and get it in. Hope...

    JackieHouse replied to anurseinthemaking's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh wow! You are on top of it!! Good luck to you too, you'll have no problems getting in!! I'll be looking forward to your good

  18. Gulf Coast State College | Fall 2016

    JackieHouse replied to anurseinthemaking's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm sorry, I don't check this forum often enough! I have no idea. It's the 23rd today and the mail has run so I'm thinking mid-March is not going to happen? Within the next few weeks I'm sure we'll...

  19. Gulf Coast State College | Fall 2016

    JackieHouse replied to anurseinthemaking's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I did. The same day I took the HESI on Jan 22nd, I spoke to my advisor and she told me she would turn it in for the Fall semester, but wasn't looking for me to get a spot. She earmarked it to be...

  20. Gulf Coast State College | Fall 2016

    JackieHouse replied to anurseinthemaking's topic in Florida Nursing

    Mid-March sounds a whole lot better than mid-April to me! I do realize that all colleges want to accept the students that are most persistent about their degree, but I have to wonder with everyone...

  21. Gulf Coast State College | Fall 2016

    JackieHouse replied to anurseinthemaking's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yay, I'm so stinkin' excited to find this thread! I applied for the Fall semester 2016 back in September of 2015. I had just missed the HESI testing by 3 days for submitting for the Spring 2016...
