i just received my acceptance for this fall. However, b/c i'm out of state i didn't get it until today!!!! The problem is i missed the deadline to accept. I really hope i didn't miss my chance. If so, i do have a back up plan. Maybe one of you wi...
I am also in a similar situtation, but w/a more personal problem. I was accepted into a ADN program in my mom's home state. I would have FREE tuition and books in this state only. However, I had previously applied to a Occupational Therapy M.S. pr...
I tried to get accepted last Spring. I was not, b/c what they DON'T tell you is that the add points for chemistry, micro., etc. So, eventhough I've taken A&P I & II, and have a B.S. with all the prereqs. I think I only got 146, or around the...
Gina Gina, I understand where you're coming from. You can get a job much quicker in nursing. But why is it then, that 5 of the nurses in my family have said stay away? The profession isn't what it use to be (managed health care) and I hate seeing...
Hi, I've also been in a similar situation. I'm going for my second degree and will be starting my Master's in OT this fall. I come from a family full of RN's, so I know a little of both sides. I thought about nursing off and on since high school....
I have a B.S. in Special Education and then decided teaching wasn't for me. Really, I had to get my master's if I wanted to teach in NY anyway, so I started exploring my options. I feel in love with Occupational Therapy. But I have also always ha...

I've asked everyone that I know, so I figured maybe I should try to get some advice the nursing community. Here's my issue...long background needed (i think)... I'm almost 27 yrs. old have a B.S. in Special Ed., but decided I didn't want to be a teac...
OT school can be expensive...esp. a private master's degree, which is what I've chosen. PT's & OT's are not the same. OT's focus mostly on rehab. in activities of daily living (driving a car, washing hair, dressing self,etc. ). PT's rehabl. ju...
Your last post was quite a while ago. But I just wanted to let you know that I completely understand. I also have a B.S. (special education). I started taking pre-reqs. last year...only to denied at a Community college. So, I did some more researc...

My mother has been a nurse for over 25 years...this debate and so called "push" to do away with ADN was going on when she went to nursing school in the early 80s. I understand the thinking of most people, that having a nurse w/BSN somehow means that...

I have debated over OT or nursing for the last 2 years. I finally decided to go w/OT. I have a B.S. in special ed. and found a Master's program in Buffalo, NY at D'Youville college that takes about 2 years. They just changed the regulations...and ...
