  1. Salary and retirement compared to other RN specialties?

    That's an excellent way to look at it. However, I think I am mostly frustrated because: 1) Lack of Social Security (Since you are contributing to the teacher's pension plan, the years you work for the school district don't count towards Social Secur...
  2. Hey folks, I've been in the hospital environment for about 3 years, looking for a change. Pay is great, but very very stressful. I recently got an offer for school nurse. One thing I have noticed though, is the pay is low (on a teacher's scale, start...
  3. Texas Tech (TTUHSC) RN- BSN Fall 2014

    Yes you should have already send that form in. Everything must be complete in orientation before you can start.
  4. Texas Tech (TTUHSC) RN- BSN Fall 2014

    Haven't heard anything on my end. There's another user just above your post who has a similar username. Are you guys related? lol
  5. Texas Tech (TTUHSC) RN- BSN Fall 2014

    Nervous about the hours too but hoping it isn't too bad. I just wonder if we can go into the 3-semester plan if the 2-semester plan turns out to be not bad. Yes, please make one. I don't use Facebook but can make a profile up. If others are interest...
  6. Texas Tech (TTUHSC) RN- BSN Fall 2014

    I agree! Orientation's out guys. BC is $43.50. And if I'm reading this right...the 1 year program is 18 units for Fall 2014 and 12 units for Spring 2014.
  7. Texas Tech (TTUHSC) RN- BSN Fall 2014

    We will hear in May. I'm still working on 2 pre-requisites and as long as I can clear them by first day of classes, I'll be in the clear. Does anyone know what day Fall 2014 starts?
  8. Oh yeah, definitely YMMV. I'm not a fan of Biochemistry or those proctored exams either. So past the 6 month term, WGU becomes around $7490 in cost.
  9. Call me a cheapo but I'm only looking to spend up to $6-7K for the RN-BSN. I have full Pell Grant eligibility still so why not utilize it. Thanks for those recommends featherz. I looked into lafeyette but read that they take an awful long time to pr...
  10. I'm just looking for any information that current or former students can infer on the following schools for RN-BSN: UTEP, WGU, Texas Tech, UTA, Lamar, Ohio, Thomas Edison. I guess by information, I'm looking to find out experiences, any confusion, ho...
  11. How long to hear back?

    Ugh, I really want to go with UTA but it's posts like yours that really put me off, what with their long processing time. At the same time, there's WGU and while accredited, I still have a problem with their courses counting as flat 3.0 GPA and suppo...
  12. RN to BSN Online, start dates year round?

    I'm trying to do this from an unemployed perspective.
  13. How long to hear back?

    I have several questions as well. Do you have to send in transcripts from ALL your schools or could it just be a single transcript from your last known school with all the other school grades on it (i.e. nursing school transcript)? OP, you mentioned ...
  14. RN to BSN Online, start dates year round?

    If you don't mind me asking, how much did you guys pay overall for your programs? Any financial aid taken into account? I have financial aid available (just Pell Grant) but obviously want the cheapest route.
  15. So many nursing majors in my class!

    It's quite simple really. Real estate bubble. Financial bubble. Nursing bubble. Student loans bubble. Education bubble. Tuition bubble. Health insurance bubble. Trends. Do you see you where this is going? That aside, If you choose to pursue and succ...
