   Good point! Thank you for the clarification! I graduated Suma Cum Laude with the Academic Excellent Award for graduating top of my cohort in my ADN program. I'm hoping to be able to continue my streak. I don't know if it will actually lead to an...

3. Do CRNA schools accept degrees earned through competency based programs?

   imblest11 replied to imblest11's topic in SRNA

   These 2 particular programs and a few similar ones I've looked into are both regionally and CCNE accredited. As far as my schedule goes, I expect things to change eventually when my kids are no longer doing virtual school due to COVID and are on camp...

4. Do CRNA schools accept degrees earned through competency based programs?

   imblest11 replied to imblest11's topic in SRNA

   I like the flexibility that these online programs offer. They charge a blanket sum for a certain time period and you can take as many courses as you want within that time frame. This would allow me to work as quickly or as slowly as life allows which...

   imblest11 replied to rn2bbsn's topic in Online Learning

   I actually just went over to their website and they had a nice little chat feature that I don't remember from the last time I was on there. Anyway, I asked about this and the rep told me that they do the transcript "translation" in order to explain t...

   I am currently looking into my options for my RN to BSN and think that the competency-based programs would be my best option with my current schedule and home life given that they are so flexible. My nursing union gives us a discount to go to Western...

   Can you explain what the GPA difference is here? I had the understanding that both programs operated on a pass/fail system....or maybe that they could possibly transfer as a 3.0 GPA??? I've been a little confused. I had a 4.0 GPA in ADN school that I...

   I have started to work through my ATI TEAS VI study guide to prepare for my test that I will be taking in August. I have not yet purchased the online practice tests. My question is this: How do the quiz sections at the end of each subject compare to ...

9. Do most of the students in pre-nursing/nursing programs already work in health care?

   imblest11 replied to imblest11's topic in General Nursing

   I had 5 years experience as a bank teller with the same bank. Hopefully that will be good enough. I get nervous when I hear everyone talking about all the experience they already have, but I figure that some people must be coming in straight out of h...

    I am registered for the Spring 2017 Saturday A&P1 class at HACC, Lancaster, and in looking into this...All A&P 1 classes are filled up for Spring 2017 already. So you might want to look into PA College's availability if you want to stay in La...

11. Do most of the students in pre-nursing/nursing programs already work in health care?

    imblest11 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am planning to apply to a part-time nursing program for the Fall of 2017, but everyone I've talked to in my prerequisite classes that are going into nursing already seems to have some sort of job in health care. I have no health care experience wh...
