   rosendalemj replied to pshs_2000's topic in Virginia

   I'll be one year ahead of you in the accelerated program when you start and graduate in December 2006. Classes for AB's and A2D's are identical the first semester, and all the clinicals courses are identical all the way to BSN. Clear your life for no...

2. Accelerated Nursing School Advice

   rosendalemj replied to Nathalie's topic in General Students

   I agree with that. I'm in a 5 semester accelerated program which equals 1.5 years. We're busy as well, always studying, but not stressed to the point you described here. It's been a steady pace with only a couple lack of sleep moments. I recommend...

3. APA Paper Formatting - Anyone using commercial templates?

   rosendalemj replied to rosendalemj's topic in Post Graduate

   I wound up using styleezze simply because it had a free demo to try it out and it worked fine for me. Really cut down on some major formatting headaches due to lack of understanding. Learning as I do. Perrla looked good as well, similar in functio...

   rosendalemj replied to browsing's topic in General Students

   One should not forsake the benefits of a BSN program, such as high quality instruction, if he/she has the qualifications to be accepted to study. Otherwise take the path of study, which is available. It all leads to RN. There after, study for an adva...

7. Pass/Fail rate in your ADN program

   rosendalemj replied to Danelle's topic in General Students

   Some schools weed out after students have started school. Get rid of the one's that they think can't pass the NCLEX. The behavior of insturctors toward students in those schools is crudy as well. I like my ACCelerated BSN program I'm in. They did ...

    University study is AMAZING! We get the best of everything. Including instruction, concern for US, the students. It was worth all the agony and effort to attain the grades to be accepted to study .
