I'm curious if anybody got their acceptance letter yet?
I just recently took my entrance test - it was easy. They changed the test style. After the first test comes the HESI which I know would be more challenging. The name of the entrance test is not DET anymore. It stinks considering on the application packet it says that the test would be DET and even recommended to buy the book guide - I bought it unfortunately. Anyway, anybody applied to other nursing school aside from st.paul's?
Arg anyone waiting for their acceptance letter? What's your GPA? Are you in the morning or evening program?
a lady from st. pauls said if i don't pass second time, i can't apply for nursing there. if i pass, i will have to take 4 hours exam in order to apply to nursing there. weird!!!! private schools also want excellant students. what would happen to avarage students???????:mad:
Angel, it's becoming more and more difficult for "average" students to get into nursing school. The reason is b/c of the demand; everyone wants to go to nursing school. It is a great profession, with good pay and benefits, and the degree can be obtained in a fairly quick time. But what people fail to realize, is that nursing school is hard! Not only is it extremely demanding on your schedule and life, but it is difficult. You don't know how hard it is until you get in. They're not going to accept you into a program, if your past history suggests you won't make it through.
I know it's not what you want to hear, but it's some food for thought. Good luck on your second test.
I agree nursing school is no joke I work in a hospital and that's all I hear fromthe nurses. Kiss our social lives goodbye and get ready to work HARD! Hopefully it will be worth it in the end, but don't give up.
Thanks guys! Must we buy them from the school or can we buy them online and buy a patch from the school? White pants?? Gotta stock up on a lot of nude undies!!
I guess we will all be seeing each other on Monday for BLS. Maybe we can pick up the scrubs there. Il be sure to bring some extra money. I'm glad it's. Blue top. I'm not a big fan of the all white scrubs
I will bring extra money on Monday too to buy the uniform. I am reall excited, lets see how long this excitement lasts lol hmmm...lookn forward to meetn u all on Monday.
I hope they don't cost an arm and a leg- schools are notorious for overcharging. I need scrub pants with Spanx in them! Looking forward to meeting you guys too!
any idea of how much the tuition fee is at st. paul's? how much do you think will it cost me for the rest of the semester with the actual clinical classes? since I'm already done with I guess almost all the required classes (A&P 1&2, chemistry 1&2, microbio, psych, dev. psych eng101, sociology, math dosage) I took all of these in a different school .. an estimated amount will do.. thanks :)
