Hi there! I did not graduate from the Regis Accelerated Program but I did finish the Binghamton University 12 month program in August. It is very, very busy but very doable if you don't work and devote yourself fulltime to school. Good luck. Katie

Hello All! I am five months pregnant. I too am wondering about the job search. I actually graduated last August, was married at the end of September and just passed the NCLEX last week. I have sent out some resumes but I wonder what my chances of ...
Binghamton University (State University) in New York has a 12 month program that I finished last August. It now runs from May-May. Overall, I thought it was a great program, albeit quick and I believe that it does not require the GRE and I doubt th...

I am not sure about how to actually get a job as a pyschiatric nurse but I do know that there are many accelerated BS programs for people who have a degree in another field, which would enable you to get become an RN. I went to Binghamton University ...

Sorry that it took me so long to respond. I actually am in an accelerated nursing program at SUNY Binghamton because Vermont did not have any accelerated programs. I am not sure how hard it is to get into UVM but I know that the LPN programs are pr...
You could do an accelerated BSN, which I am in my last semester of doing. It is a nice compromise between the two. I also have a masters in another field but could not imagine going into a direct entry field. I had 10 years work experience prior t...

Carleigh- Hello. I just completed my first semester of an accelerated BSN program. Prior to this I was a high school/middle school science and math teacher for 12 years. It was definitely a scary decision to make the change but at least this far I...

I just started an accelerated program in August-I have been on all nurses for awhile but had not seen these posts until today-they are awesome and let me know what is still to come. I bet you are doing a phenomal job. Katie (who sometimes wonders w...
Phoenix is huge-I think it is number 5 in terms of metro population. I lived there in Scottsdale for 6 years and it is great if you like strip malls, strip malls and more strip malls. I am back in New England and despite the high cost of living the...
I agree with Cowup Girl-I worked almost every night as a teacher. My friends and I would often say that in teaching you write the play, you direct the play, and you clean up after the play each and every day. I think it is misleading because even t...
Well...your post brings up an interesting debate here in Vermont. I am a Vermont resident but leaving in August to go to Binghamton University for an accelerated program. Housing and and taxes in Vermont certainly are costly. Southern Vermont in p...

Your post was hilarious-we live in Franklin County, Vermont. We often joke that instead of a show called the OC, we want to do one called the FC and try to show America many of the things in your post. Vermonster
Hello! I cannot answer from the perspective of someone who has already made the change from teacher to nurse, but I am in the same situation as you as I just finished my 11th year of teaching a week ago. I will enter an accelerated BSN program in A...
