1. UC Accelerated BSN

   kaa3418 replied to JOHIO's topic in Ohio

   Does anyone know how the transition from phase 2 to 3 works? Is it possible to be accepted into the accelerated program and not move on to the third phase for the speciality that you choose? Thanks

2. Do you mention past disciplinary action on application?

   kaa3418 replied to Bella RN's topic in General Nursing

   I would document it because if you "lie" on your application and it comes up that would most likely prevent you from getting the job. I would explain in detail what occurred.

3. Emory's Accelerated BSN/MSN

   kaa3418 replied to T-Dasha's topic in Georgia

   I have a friend that was accepted into Emory's accelerated BSN/MSN program. What I can tell you is that it is very competitive. My friend had a 3.9 GPA with a science related degree and was placed on the waiting list. Luckily someone else decided to ...

4. Need to find an accelerated BSN program that I can get into!

   kaa3418 replied to SuperNova153's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would recommend retaking a few of the main science prereqs to raise your GPA to at least a 3.0 because you are not far off from it. I believe Kent State's accelerated program requires at least a 2.5 GPA. I would also try to collect outstanding lett...

5. It has been a year-still no job

   kaa3418 replied to spalata's topic in General Nursing

   I will be starting my program soon and this is my biggest worry! I am so concerned about graduating and not being able to find a job in OH or GA. I know that a lot of hospitals have hiring freezes for new grads and that is a tad bit unsettling.

6. From Business Degree to BSN

   kaa3418 replied to scu51lly's topic in ADN/BSN

   I recently changed my career. I graduated with a degree in Psychology and worked in substance abuse treatment centers. While I did love my job I knew nursing was a better fit for me so I applied to an accelerated BSN/MSN program and was accepted. Jud...

7. RN to MSN SCHOOLS???

   kaa3418 replied to NurseinNV's topic in General Nursing

   I would ask individual schools how strict they are on the GPA requirement. Often if you have a great GRE score and outstanding letters of recommendation then they will consider the applicant even if their GPA is slightly lower than the minimum. I wou...

8. Nursing Pre-Req Question?

   kaa3418 replied to confusedstudentnurse's topic in Ohio

   Withdraw! That is an important science prereq. If you have multiple W's then it would be alarming.

9. New grad finding a job

   kaa3418 replied to amortentia62442's topic in General Nursing

   I agree with Wendy79. I think you should be careful about burning bridges so I would definitely ask how long do you have before you need to accept or deny the position and contact the other manager to see what your chances are or when she will be mak...

10. 11 Things Your Nurse Thinks (But Will Never Tell You)

    kaa3418 replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Very funny!!! Thank God I learned to smile consistently through cheerleading. I never thought that would come in handy! I will prepare myself now after reading this post and remember to be thankful for the pleasant patients.

11. Me, myself and Facebook

    kaa3418 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I think people should just monitor who has access to their account and ultimately keep business and pleasure separate. I do not see anything wrong with having a drink in your personal time but that could have a negative impact on your business life w...

12. are nursing schools in ohio easier to get into?

    kaa3418 replied to kraam's topic in Ohio

    From my experience I think Ohio nursing programs are easier to get into. I did my undergraduate education in Atlanta, GA and remained there after I graduated. I decided to do an accelerated nursing program in Atlanta and had a really hard time gettin...

    kaa3418 replied to JOHIO's topic in Ohio

    Hey BJ, I am starting in January as well! It's great to see other people on this site that will be in the same cohort! Do you mind passing along the information that was shared with you about the job outlook after the program? I had the same concerns...

    kaa3418 replied to kaa3418's topic in Ohio

    Thank you! I will keep that in mind. Did you attend the UC Accelerated nursing program? If so how did you like it and when did you begin your post-grad job search?

    kaa3418 posted a topic in Ohio

    Hello everyone, I was recently accepted into the University of Cincinnati's Accelerated MSN program for the spring 2011 cohort. I was wondering if there were any other people out there that have been accepted as well and if any past or current studen...
