   Hi there, the program is going great, as I'm sure you can imagine it's a lot of work and studying, but we're learning so much. I am thankful I'm not working very much but others do work more than I do. Summer semester started on July 31st, and we co...

3. Pursuing RN with a Non-Nursing Bachelor's Degree

   lala4005 replied to MiiSzAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am located in CT, and have a BA in English. I am in an ABSN program at a state school, which will cost around 20k, and it only takes one year. From my research, a BSN is almost certainly required for any acute care job for new grads in CT. My previ...

   Thank you, Akrobeto! I believe most of the exams were around 50 questions, for both lab and lecture. I think the lecture exams are weighted higher than lab....

   lala4005 replied to lala4005's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi Akrobeto- I believe our grades were based entirely on exams. Each week there would be both a lab and lecture exam, if memory serves. Lecture was multiple choice and lab was fill in the blank. It would sometimes be a bit confusing because we'd be i...

   Hi there, will you be taking both A&P I and II over the summer? It was an intense ten weeks, but doable, even with working full time, watching a toddler and running a household. Granted, my husband did help a lot with our daughter- so I wouldn't ...

7. Allnurses needs nurses

   lala4005 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   Second career student here.... I just want to say- I love all the nurse posts, such as Tell On Yourself If You Dare, and remember the one about the way things used to be done, like crank beds, being admitted prior to surgery for a full work up, and c...

   Hi, yes I was accepted into both Southern and my second choice, Quinnipiac. Quinnipiac has a great reputation as well, but is also significantly more expensive. I will be attending Southern's program for the upcoming cohort. Best of luck in your dec...

   Hi there, congrats on your acceptance! I don't yet know how many days of clinical we'll have in the fall, but I saw from another post that in the spring there are three classes in two days each week with 20 hours of clinical. I have heard good feedba...

    Hi Nicole! I feel the same way! I already have a pal in the program! Is it just me or have the weeks been dragging?! Just want it to be April 6th and find out more about the program and make everything feel more real! Almost one week away finally, w...

    Hi there! When I went to the info session, it was stressed to us to do as well as we possibly could for any pre-reqs we still had to take...therefore it was my goal to get As in A&P I&II and chemistry, my remaining courses. I did achieve thos...

    Hi, I think you're right- it's going to be very intense!!! I don't think I'll be working at all during the program. Thankfully it's only one year! Great to hear about the positive feedback!

    Hi Nicole! I'm Lauren- Did you by any chance take A&P I and II over the summer at Southern? If so I think we were in class together, I have a toddler and if you are the same Nicole, you have two daughters? I am so glad your daughter was with you...
