   rn'ti4uva replied to Meg11's topic in Virginia

   Meg11, Thanks for starting this thread! You'll probably get a lot more responses once decisions are posted. I have a friend in the NP program who actually had to have a final transcript faxed right before classes started, so it shouldn't be a probl...

   rn'ti4uva replied to jeyre1847's topic in Post Graduate

   jeyre, While I can't speak from the field of nursing, I can tell you about my experience going straight to grad school for molecular genetics. I did go straight through and felt that other students who had worked for a while and come back to grad sch...

   Ninzy, I am also a 2011 hopeful! I teach part time at 2 colleges, and with the end of the semester rapidly approaching I will be plenty busy over the next month which should help pass some wait time until decisions are posted.:)

   rn'ti4uva replied to Meg11's topic in New Nurse

   Hi katmarie26, I’m so glad you’re still on the boards occasionally! I can’t PM yet – but I am starting to volunteer at the main hospital this week and could easily meet sometime during one of your breaks on a clinical shift or your break on a clas...

9. Increase admission chances: Direct entry CNL

   rn'ti4uva replied to Meg11's topic in New Nurse

   My specific concerns about my prospective application are very similar to those of Meg11. I have science degrees (BS & MS) and have worked in clinical labs, but always felt the patient piece of the story was missing. I want to be a career chang...
