3. ABSN or ASN

   JLouise replied to Ovalis's topic in New York

   Malaz- Do you find that grads from your program are able to find jobs as RNs after graduation, despite not having the BSN? My ASN program is offering an accelerated option where we can take the BSN classes at the same time as our ASN classes, but lik...

   JLouise replied to nycnursing's topic in New York

   So, I know I'm a little late to this party, but where did you find the externships listed/what's the application period, usually? Does your role differ from a student nursing position or nursing attendant position? Thanks!

   JLouise replied to BeesMama's topic in California

   Congratulations! Are there waves of interview emails, or was it just the one that goes out to everyone? I applied too, and have been checking my email every ten seconds for weeks, just in case. I'm wholeheartedly hoping that it wasn't one blast...

8. Direct Entry MSN program

   JLouise replied to Goodthoughts79's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi there! I'm in the same boat- was trying to apply for fall 2010, but the prereqs offered at my school were bumped back, and now I'm finishing them this semester. It's really frustrating, because it seems that because of the whole DNP-2015 health c...

10. Anyone from Regis College?

    JLouise replied to lablad's topic in Massachusetts

    Actually, their deadline was yesterday, haha... I think my new plan is just to take the prereqs at Regis and see how it goes and how their "teaching" style is, and if it's bearable just enter the program in the fall there. If not, I can use those pre...

11. Anyone from Regis College?

    JLouise replied to lablad's topic in Massachusetts

    BC is probably ridiculously difficult to be admitted to though, right? This seemed to be the best of all worlds, until I got to actual students' opinions. At the end of the day, though, we all pay tuition for a stamp on our life histories- I could go...

    JLouise replied to lablad's topic in Massachusetts

    JLouise replied to mac2008's topic in Massachusetts

    Hey there- I don't really have a response for you, but I am in the exact same boat- keep in touch! Are there any reputable programs you've found that are less than 100k? What's your background? I have a BS in Psych and am looking into the same progr...

    Hey all- I am very interested in these stats as well- the websites all say one thing, but I'd like to know the reality of that- any thoughts? I'm coming from a BS in Psych background and I've been out of school for a couple of years- determined but a...
