   Thanks for everyone's advice! I heard there's a lot of theories and ethical content on this exam and also that their questions can be complex with at least 2 answers that can be correct. My exam is in two days! Can't wait to be done with it. I feel l...

   I just spoke with an FA counselor yesterday regarding this matter and they said that due to the fact that fed loans are limited, they automatically disqualify 2nd bachelor pursuers from obtaining FA. Even after mentioning the ~$47,000 lifetime cap on...

   I have a question regarding financial aid from Sac State. I just checked the status of my financial aid on the MySacState website and it indicates that my status as a 2nd bachelor's degree pursuer makes me ineligible for financial aid. I thought we a...

   Thanks Ms Mabs! I actually never really considered obtaining a BSN first before my Masters while I was applying, which is why I ended up applying to 3 MSN programs and 1 ABSN program. But after reading through some threads from this forum, I realize...

    Congrats to you Om3155. SFSU received over 300 applications for their Masters program which I guess explains why they send out notifications so late. Just try not to think too much about it because late April will soon approach. :wink2:

    Still waiting for a response from SFSU's Generic MSN & Sam Merritt's ELMSN-FNP program, but I'm most likely going for Sac State's program since it's only 15 months long. How far up are you on the waitlist for Colorado? I know you mentioned that ...

    megamiepona replied to megamiepona's topic in Post Graduate

    Thanks for your response Asherah! I heard briefly about the MSN vs BSN pay discrepancy while at Sam Merritt's ELMSN interview. The director mentioned that some hospitals are more welcoming of RNs with BSN rather than those with MSNs, which explains t...

    megamiepona posted a topic in Post Graduate

    Hi all, I've recently been accepted into Sac State's 15 month long ABSN program, but am also considering SFSU's Generic MSN program-that is if I get in. I was wondering, in your opinion, which program would be the best for me provided that I am consi...

    Thanks for the thorough response Wendy. It was really helpful. In terms of doing some studying for pharm prior to the start of nursing school, how do you go about in doing that especially when there are a gazillion drugs to pick from? I know I defin...
