  1. Yes, it's possible to go to nursing school and work full time...

    rock hopper replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    I know i'm bumping an old thread but i'd like to chime in and see what others think. I've gotten to the point where I'm about 90% sure I won't be able to finance nursing school without working. My...

  2. Any Spring/Summer ADN programs available to apply for?

    rock hopper posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm looking to start an ADN program this January (probably too late) or May/Summer term. Are there any community college or similar programs that start during this time period? I'm from Mississippi...

  3. Any Spring/Summer ADN programs available to apply for?

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Thank you for the reply. I figured my chances were low but maybe someone new more about it than I did. I have all pre-req's completed and trying to keep cost low. Getting into a CC has been tougher...

  4. Did you choose nursing because it was your "calling"?

    rock hopper replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Students

    I'm not a religious person, so I don't know if "the calling" in a sense of some unwavering destiny is really the reason i'm going into nursing. It has more to do with wanting to make a living and...

  5. Denver School of Nursing April 2017 cohort

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Colorado Nursing

    One question to any former students that may have a look at this thread.. Are you able to "defer" your start date? I'm thinking the answer to this is no..you'd have to just reapply..But I have an...

  6. working in nursing school

    rock hopper replied to marshay601's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone I ask indicates "No". However, I work p/t for a hospice company (around 12-20) hours a week, just on the weekends. This gives me enough money to pay my phone bill and have some spending money...

  7. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to 3 CC's in my state (MS) this year and was waitlisted. I heard from a girl who's in her last semester at one that the waitlist could be as long as 2 years. Suffice to say, there are an...

  8. Which plan of study would you choose?

    rock hopper replied to Farrah 34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first scenario Taking A&P 2 and Micro together would be pretty difficult

  9. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok one last question for you guys--thank you for all the information! :) How much will hospitals pay for your BSN or ADN? Do they set up arrangements where you agree to work for them for a specified...

  10. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the replies. I am moving to Colorado from MS and will be living on my own so I'm hoping my employer will consider paying for my ADN if I work for them as a CNA for awhile before classes...

  11. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ADN program is the plan for now. BSN will likely be too costly. Again I was just confused as to how you could take classes to complete your BSN if you weren't actually in said BSN program. Like I...

  12. PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    rock hopper replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You aren't old! Geez lol. I'll be 27 in a month( new year's Eve! Lol)! Same GPA as you, only accepted to a few (too pricy) nursing schools. So I'm going to have to apply for next fall. You've got...

  13. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right, I just didn't realize one could take upper division nursing courses if they werent in the program. At my home university, for example, you can't take patho unless you've been accepted into the...

  14. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you mean take classes toward my BSN? Aren't all those courses ones you'd have to take once you get in the program? I've already taken all BSN prereqs. Plan as of now is to live and work as a...

  15. Louisiana College

    rock hopper replied to cadyssa's topic in Louisiana Nursing

    Anyone have info on how tough admissions is? Im 26, have a BS in Psychology from a state university, lower 2.65 GPA but tons of hospice and volunteer/leadership positions and

  16. Low GPA looking for an ABSN program. Help!

    rock hopper replied to rbk8926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No unfortunately I missed the deadline but I plan on applying next year. Its only 1 year in duration and the GPS for consideration is a 2.6, you have to take the TEAS, need 3 references and to take a...

  17. Low GPA looking for an ABSN program. Help!

    rock hopper replied to rbk8926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at Louisiana College. 4 semesters to your ABSN and relatively low GPA required. Tuition isn't that bad all things considered. It's a small town but like I said not a long program at all--includes...

  18. FRCC Larimer spring 2017

    rock hopper replied to reiny76's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Wow! That was extremely helpful! Thank you so much :) definitely makes me feel more confident in applying somewhere in the state next

  19. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely willing to relocate and find an employer that would help me out! I am probably going to go the ADN route (so my mind is more or less made up on that front) What program are you in, if you...

  20. FRCC Larimer spring 2017

    rock hopper replied to reiny76's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks for the helpful information,

  21. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, now that i'm looking into it..maybe the military would be a great thing. My biggest hurdle (and it has been with the military since i was younger) was that Ive had a couple of back...

  22. FRCC Larimer spring 2017

    rock hopper replied to reiny76's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hey guys, my family just moved to CO, and i'm still working a job here in the south expected to move up there with them next year--provided I get accepted to a few nursing schools up that way. I...

  23. Do you ever wish you were a doctor?

    rock hopper replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    I actually had a whole year or so where I planned on going to med school. But ultimately the debt, the stress and the work hours made it a clear "nope" choice for me. One of the things that drew me to...

  24. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure about the military, wouldn't that require the typical 4 years of active duty? Not bashing the military, I am very thankful for those who are apart of it..I just don't know if it would...

  25. Financing Nursing School - Not Sure What To Do

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you are right, Buyer Beware. I just am at a point where I will have to wait an entire year (until i'm almost 28) just to gain admission to a 2 year ADN program. So i'd be 30 by the time I got...
