A lot of the facilities in my area are transitioning to hiring only BSN nurses and not ADN. I also heard somewhere else on the news or in a journal article that it is projected that in 2015 or so, most hospitals will require a BSN.

I prefer to see the FNPs in my doctor's office than the physician that works there. She (the physician) is NOT thorough whatsoever.. she just prescribes painkillers to cover up the symptoms rather than find out what's actually going on. I went to the...

I got in, too!!! Congratulations to everyone else! I saw that you all got your letters so I ran upstairs and asked my mom if she checked the mail today and she hadn't yet so I grabbed the mailbox key and literally sprinted down the street in the rain...

I noticed the AAS in Nursing thing, too, on my degree progress report. And like you all, I can't remember if it was there before or not! AAHHHH...lol I'm happy to know that we are not all alone :)

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one without anything listed under "My Organizations! haha But at the same time, I just want to know now!! I'm getting more and more anxious as the minutes pass! And I've heard the same thing about classes, too- ...

NVCC is willing to squeeze every dime out of you that they can. I haven't done either yet (seek division approval or take any chem classes) I'm taking BIO 142 the second 6 weeks this summer. I've already taken NAS 161/162. The only reason I'm taking ...

Really?! Oh my goodness! Where did you hear that, GCW? I remember the letter I got about the acknowledgment of my application saying that at the earliest, we'd hear two weeks after the application deadline. I didn't realize it'd only be a day after. ...

I finished all my pre-/co-requisites in the Spring 2010 semester. The only thing that kept me from applying last year was the TEAS test. I passed the reading/writing portions with no problem but I hadn't taken a math since high school so I didn't do ...

I'm waiting with you!! Geez, I've been waiting since February of this year for the May 27 application deadline to pass so I can start the official countdown. I don't think I can handle another week of waiting- especially since they say at LEAST 2 wee...

OR.. I also so that you could get divisional approval, so maybe you could just try to talk to the head of the division and they can let you skip the chem and go straight for the micro
johnson_katie replied to SuzyQ2011's topic in Virginia
Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. I didn't know you had to take 2 semesters of chem before micro.. that is kind of annoying. But on the other side of the coin, I'm sure general college chem can/will transfer anywhere (unlike the NAS 161/162). So...
johnson_katie replied to SuzyQ2011's topic in Virginia
Honestly, if I were you I would do the BIO 141/142 + Micro route because I took NAS 161/162 before I decided I wanted to eventually get my BSN so now I'm playing catch up and squeezing BIO 141/142 into my schedule this summer so those credits can tra...
