1. how do i know if nursing is right for me

   figuringitout09 replied to lovedillpickles's topic in Career Support

   I'm at a crossroads for different reasons. I initially knew I was interested in mental health, decided to pursue the prereqs for a BSN with the intention of eventually becoming an NP, but now am thinking I may need to go the PhD Clinical Psych route...

2. South College question

   figuringitout09 replied to Dee AnnCMA's topic in Tennessee

   If you're not looking for a BSN there are several community college schools that offer the AS. In fact Pellissippi is to start an AS 2010 Fall. Most upper level programs (meaning you've already got your pre-reqs met) start in the Fall and you need ...

   figuringitout09 replied to jcmoore07's topic in Psychiatric

   I was contemplating between a masters in psych counseling or becoming a psychiatric NP. I've been working on my BSN prereqs and have been quite pleased with my science grades (something that I worried about - but like you when I put my mind to somet...

   Thanks, I was hoping maybe something came through for Knox I was unaware of :-) P.S. Looking at my last msg. I am the queen of typos today.

5. Anyone apply for UT's Direct Entry MSN?

   figuringitout09 replied to MemphisTiger's topic in Tennessee

   I'm guesing you guys are talking about UT-Memphis because I thought UT-Knoxville due to budget cuts had to do away with their directory entry MSN.

6. Private or Community college program?

   figuringitout09 replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If you're looking at purely dollar terms it's $20,000 versus about two years of work. But then that doesn't take into acct. your current living situation. For example if you don't have a mortgage now or have low rent vs. the area the private school...

   figuringitout09 replied to AccelCNL's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm taking prereqs now for either Spring 2010 or Fall 2010 depending on which school I can get into. I'm actually hoping a bit for the (have to apply and interview for this school in Jan.) Fall school because that's a public school and would save me...

8. South College

   figuringitout09 replied to ks48's topic in Tennessee

   I'm currently taking pre-reqs at South College. I'm not in the actual BSN program yet. I'd say it's quite competitive like all nursing schools seem to be. All of your pre-reqs are taken with various health students even those doing pre med, the ma...

13. Day in the life of psych NP/CNS

    figuringitout09 replied to HealthyRN's topic in NP

    Yes, I volunteered at a clinic where I know one of the woman was working on an ASN with the hope of getting into the direct entry MSN program. I'm sure this budget has affected many plans. I hope to do my Masters at UTK so hopefully they don't star...

14. Day in the life of psych NP/CNS

    figuringitout09 replied to HealthyRN's topic in NP

    Interesting thread. I'm in my pre-reqs now for a BSN program that should all go right I'll start in April. I think one of my first posts on allnurses talked about thinking about counseling first and then got turned onto becoming an NP. Now I think th...

15. Trying to choose Nursing or Counseling

    figuringitout09 replied to figuringitout09's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for sharing PTYME. I'm heading the nursing route as well. As caliotter said if counseling is still an interest you can look into becoming a psychiatric mental health NP.
