I am in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area and I paid about $8,000 for my ADN with all books/expenses/fees, etc. and my RN-BSN was $9,500. I suppose the value of an ADN is relative. I would never pay $40K for an ADN, but then, I already have one. Who...
I just finished my last regular class in the RN-BSN program at UTA and start Capstone on 5/22. I am SO glad to be finishing this! I started in February of 2016 and took all my Junior year courses that year, saving Senior classes for this year. I did ...

I am in the same class right now, and it is easily the hardest class of the program so far. Just follow the rubrics for the assignments and it will help tremendously. I just finished the paper, which seems overwhelming at first. Then if you follow th...
I completely disagree. It's all about you and the effort you're willing to put in. I worked full time all through nursing school and graduated at the top of my class with a 4.0. You will do as well as you WANT to do. Good luck.
I know it sound ridiculous, but try to relax. I went into my final needing a 95 to get an A in my class and thereby graduate with a perfect 4.0. With that clearly out of reach, I just relaxed and chilled out before my test. I played some xbox, played...
Yep, Baylor is the better way to go. Better everything! Med Center Plano has a terrible reputation. The internet is filled with common nursing interview questions, with some great ones right here on this sight. Good luck!
My last semester starts on the 23rd officially, but we are doing all our psych clinicals in January before that. I'm halfway done with that and have already completed my 3 required psych papers. I'm already tired!

It sounds like you are just sort of sniffing around the idea of becoming a nurse, with little or no commitment. There isn't anything wrong with that, but it probably means you should stay away. If becoming a nurse isn't something you want with all y...
I graduate May of 2014 as well. I can't believe it, where did the time go?! Best of luck to everyone in their final semester, preparing for the NCLEX, and finding gainful employment. We've all worked so hard, time to be proud of where our labor has b...

Don't let nursing school scare you bro, it's not that bad. I take it week by week to a avoid being overwhelmed. Works really well to break it into bite-size chunks like that! Whether or not you work is per the individual. I work 36-48 hours per week,...
If you can hear what you need to, don't worry about it. I had to invest in a Littman to hear adequately, but you might be different. I didn't really want to spend $100 on a stethoscope, but I will have it for years so it was an investment.
