I know it's been a while. A lot has been going on in this little town in Ohio. A lot has been happening in the life of this single mother/nursing student as well.
Did you know, as a nursing student, there are certain schools that are nationally accredited for nursing?? Apparently the school I'm attending is NOT accredited. I'm expected to begin nursing program in the fall of 2013, but if they're not accredited, why would I want to go there? I plan on leaving this state. I'm still young, and want change in my life, and I want to just GO, but because of this, everything I've planned is going to change. Do I want it to? No. I was hoping to stay at one school and be there from beginning to end, but because of this revelation, I may have no choice and have to move, or just drive, to a different area. The messed up part is the school I'm looking at is an HOUR drive from me. So a 2 hour drive daily may be the death of me. So, the only other option I have is to move, but moving away from family- my source of support- may just hurt me more than help me. Although, driving that far, spending the gas money, and food money, and the wear and tear on the car may hurt more than help also.
I think I need to figure this out by the end of the semester. With having exams coming up already, and having to go through the TEAS process (Test of Essential Academic Skills), as well as the interview process, GPA check, blah blah blah I think I'll be making advisor appointments throughout the semester. It doesn't hurt to investigate into other schools!!
If I could give any advice to future nursing students, it would be this: Look into schools as deeply as you can, pay attention to the courses you are taking, and the courses you are 'supposed' to take. Don't miss the details when it comes to school.
Swear these little notes were almost the death of me. Not knowing the truth behind their accreditation status almost messed my whole scheme of things. I just don't understand why now I had to find all this out. I wish it would have happened a year ago, but I suppose it wouldn't have changed anything at that point. Now, I want to just go. It looks as though I'll be heading to Marion Ohio come fall. But we'll see. Haven't had a meeting with anyone yet. That's in my near future indefinitely.

Beyond true.
There is nothing else I can imagine going to school for. Unfortunately, I am one class away from an associates in science, but I don't want it. I want my RN.
I think I will be hunting for some nursing blogs around this site. I need some people to get advice from..I mean, no one ever told me this would be easy, and I didn't expect it to be a 'whatever' type of program, I knew what I was getting myself into when it comes to this certain program, but this program in THIS SCHOOL that is NOT nationally accredited, I was not expecting.
And what makes me nervous is the simple fact that everything that could go wrong, is starting to go wrong before I take this TEAS exam. I'll be studying like a crazy person for the next two weeks, especially with a microbiology exam coming up.
