   I have many of the same questions. I will finish my BSN in 2012, and have three daughters also living near the Chicagoland area. I'll definitely be interested in hearing responses back to these questions! I have had a hard time pinning down an off...

   You can take classes part-time and online and at night. They try to be very flexible. My entrance counselor was very nice. His name was Aaron Gholston and he always seemed on top of things. The program is accelerated into 20 months, and they have...

   Hi MOM2, I am starting nursing school at B&S in September too! I have had really good experiences with my advisor, and with the financial aid department. I was prepared well for the TEAS test, and hopefully will be able to do well in school. C...

4. Bryant Stratton questions

   nkslats79 replied to meganm's topic in General Nursing

   I have taken the TEAS test for B & S in March of '09. You need a 40 to be considered, but a 50 pretty much guarantees you a place. I got the Nursing School Entrance Exam Test booklet from Borders, and it helped immensely. There is a lot of info...

   Thank you all so much. I am looking for a new job with a company that has at least tuition reimbursement. But it may take three years instead of two to get my ASN. Will the Navy accept that (me going part time) or do they want me to be full time? ...

   I have thought about the Reserves, but I was under the impression that I still have to have my BSN to join. Is there a way to start going to school and get some help with paying for it now without having to go enlisted? If I can go the Reserves rou...

   Do I have to be in my junior year to use the Navy loan program or can I apply now for the loan to start using right away. I did not get the answers I was looking for on their website. Thank you very much!
