   EvLu22 replied to thiscatscheesy's topic in Minnesota

   I think people don't always know that St. Kate's has two separate campuses and at the Minneapolis campus only offers Associate degree programs. From what I understand, their admission process is pretty simple, which I think was a sign of the times so...

2. St Kate's Post-Bacc Questions!!

   EvLu22 replied to maggie04's topic in Minnesota

   Hi! First off, I think St. Kate's really rocks. I did my BS there several years ago and when I decided to try to get accepted to nursing school, they were my first any only choice. You are right; they do seem to be the only school around here that pr...

5. Pre-nursing job advice needed

   EvLu22 replied to EvLu22's topic in Minnesota

   I certainly could take up a casual position, I suppose. My only concern with that would be adding one more responsibility to work, school, and family. But it wouldn't be impossible. I've heard it is typical of students in post-bacc programs to end u...

   EvLu22 replied to Ddahlia14's topic in Minnesota

   Hi! Another option in the area is St. Kate's. They offer a Post-Bacc nursing program that awards a BSN in their weekend college program. I was accepted to the January 2013 cohort and started prereqs this fall (of which I only have 3 to complete so my...

7. Pre-nursing job advice needed

   EvLu22 replied to EvLu22's topic in Minnesota

   Thank you for your response! So in your opinion, being in the system already is worth more than whatever patient care experience I could gain by taking a CNA job somewhere?

    EvLu22 replied to Cari001's topic in Minnesota

    Hi! I'm new and lurking around here. I'm in similar shoes as well. I have a BS from St. Kate's and applied to their Post Bacc program for fall 2011. I actually just got an acceptance last week and I was shocked but I'm also excited. I'm love to chat!...

    EvLu22 replied to Cari001's topic in Minnesota

    I'm curious too! I was hoping to find some people who are currently a part of the program who would be open to sharing their experience. This is a huge leap for me to get back into school and I'm scared to death!
