4. USA accelerated nursing program weekly schedule

   Meridethtay replied to moonbubble's topic in School Programs

   Don't let the driving completely hold you back. We have a girl who also drives from pensacola and Gulf Shores. They all make it work. But I would say on nights when you have to be back early it would be beneficial to stay with someone if you becom...

6. Knoxville, TN pay

   Meridethtay replied to Meridethtay's topic in Career Support

   Well thanks for everyone's input! I find it SO crazy they don't pay extra for BSN. The hospitals here in AL and MS pay like $1.00 more with your BSN not to mention most start out round almost $22. Looks like I'll be staying in MS for a while till ...

7. Knoxville, TN pay

   Meridethtay replied to Meridethtay's topic in Career Support

   Is this for BSN pay? That seems awfully low especially knowing the starting pay in Alabama/Mississippi which is often two of the lower paid states. Also my prior degree paid more than that in Mississippi and nurses ALWAYS make more than medical lab...

   Just FYI guys, I know we have a couple people in our class who ended up originally being on the wait list. People will get accepted and then not be able to figure out a way to pay for the program and have to drop. Tuition alone for the year costs $...

    Meridethtay replied to Mparker31's topic in General Students

    I looked through all nurses and found some... And I also typed in USA accelerated nursing on Facebook to see if anyone had made posts about it. That's how I found the previous student. They had a time where the old students could sell us their mate...

    Meridethtay replied to Mparker31's topic in General Students

    The program is tough. No doubt about it. you literally need to be ready to learn everyday because the amount of material you are going to learn in a short amount of time is tremendous. I would say the best thing to do would be to just go ahead and ...

    Also if you don't live in the area.. go ahead and find a roommate. It makes things so much better when it comes time for demos and needing to practice. Plus y'all can bounce information off of each other.

    I'm in the class she spoke of. Meeting people beforehand is awesome... you had just mentioned a study group so I figured I would help you out by saying just come to class ready to learn. It's a whirlwind for sure. Good luck! We'll see you January ...

    Meridethtay replied to Mparker31's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't do a study group. All the information you are going to need will be presented in class. Just come to class your first day prepared to learn. It really is accelerated so just get in that mindset. And take each day one at a time. But I ...
