You can get by without taking Chemisty, but you sure will understand Micro, Pathophysiology....etc. if you take it. All the sciences have a background in chemistry including A&P. Good luck.

Yeah, I've already taken 2 semesters of Bio, one of Micro, patho and pharm respectively, and 2 of anatomy & physiology. All of this contributes to not wanting to take MORE science in the form of chemistry. It is not for me. : )

I would love to hear what you think of the program. This thread was so helpful to me because I was thinking about doing this within the next 1-2 years. I am a new grad just passed boards 2 months ago so I need a break. kudos to you for doing it all at once!! This one sounds like about the best to me too. Because of the cost and living right beside the sate (even though I won;t have to travel)

My boyfriend can confirm it gives me narcolepsy. : ) I wish I hadn't resold my book from the time I started to take it - I could use it when I can't sleep!

I hear you about the sciences. While I recognize their worth, I don't think I could handle another science course. I had so much A&P and biology in preparation for my nursing program that I am burned out

If you don't care where your degree comes from then pick the cheapest. If you care about the prestige of the degree then consider Regis University (www.regis.edu). You also can go directly to a MSN from a ASN/ADN and skip several classes in the process. The college network has books that bring the costs down too. Regis will call and welcome you and I find the staff very good. Regis is a Jesuit school like Georgetown and Loyolla (sp?).

p.s. I am a current student of Regis. I checked them out on US news and world report and they are 20 something in the ranking.

So I was hoping that some of you could tell me something about Fort Hayes State Univ. Its really cheap for tuition, and I will be taking it out of state. Is it a good program and I want to finish it really fast and I'm willing to postpone my social life for longer if I can finish it quicker.

So anything will be a HUGE help.

I am in a Regis program, yes. I'm not going MSN though. Does that answer your question? The big seller for me was their program was real and they have a great ranking from US news and world report.
