6. how to get BSN when you have a BA

   magnolia3957 replied to renee47's topic in ADN/BSN

   Actually I am not positive. The way it was explained to me, with my particular BA, plus my ADN RN I have MOST of the classes needed for a BSN. So they would probably go ahead and let me in the MSN (NP) program and I would complete my BSN alongside my...

7. how to get BSN when you have a BA

   magnolia3957 replied to renee47's topic in ADN/BSN

   Well, I think you can kind of sum it all together. ie if you have a 4 year degree plus a adn RN, you most likely have most of the classes required for a BSN so you kind of do the BSN completion and MSN at the same time. At least that is how it was ex...

12. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    magnolia3957 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in ADN/BSN

    my plan and decision has become that if the ADN is cheaper and faster, do that then get the BSN or MSN while working as a RN and let the hospital you work for pay for it.

    magnolia3957 replied to itssarayay's topic in Alabama

    maybe, miraculously they will have hired some new instructors, acquired some more clinical spots from the state and can accept more people. In my opinion something they should have managed to better balance the drop outs that seem to happen in the fi...

    magnolia3957 replied to itssarayay's topic in Alabama

    bfeemster Yes, I did look into UAB's 2nd degree program. Looked at PA school too. at this time decided against it mostly because of cost and the fact that I have to work while I am in school. Also, 5 semesters and you can practice in a decent paying ...

    magnolia3957 replied to itssarayay's topic in Alabama

    I totally agree. I find it a little ridiculous that they always have this issue getting letters out at JS. No, I have not applied to CACC yet. I applied to JS for last fall and did not get in. I at that time had 180 pts, a BS from UAB, a 3.4 gpa and ...
