1. Molloy College Nursing Program - couple of questions

   bkingren1031 replied to digoe74's topic in New York

   Hey, hope this isn't too late. But as far as I know, Molloy's nursing program is rolling admissions, so there really isn't any specific deadline.. At least that was the case when I applied for the fall of 2012 a couple months ago. I called yesterday ...

3. Would anyone mind reading/giving feedback on my personal essay?

   bkingren1031 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi all, I applying to a extremely competitive BSN program. With mostly decent grades, I'm hoping to slam my essay out of the park. So if anyone has the time/patience to read it through I would be extremely grateful....Thank you! Also does anyone know...

4. Will getting a BSN be worth it? Really need advice!

   bkingren1031 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah they'll give me tuition reimbursement wherever I go but it's only 2400 a year... Which isn't much. And there's no guarantee that they'll hire me as an RN if there's no openings than obviously they can't..

5. Will getting a BSN be worth it? Really need advice!

   bkingren1031 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah absolutely. In my area same as well, the BSN is relied heavily upon. Although right now I work for a non profit agency that is doing tuition riembursement for me and requires me to work there 2 years after I graduate (get my RN) so they would pr...

7. Seeking guidance in pursuing a career in Nursing.

   bkingren1031 replied to afoster1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah I hear you on the amount of time but I'm not really sure how you would be able to do it without getting in debt regardless. That's why I thought maybe doing te ADN and taking the extra 2 years, and getting a job that will pay for the BSN may be ...

8. Seeking guidance in pursuing a career in Nursing.

   bkingren1031 replied to afoster1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hm.... well first off: I don't see how an ADN is worthless at all. Even if your ultimate goal is a CRNA (which you would obviously need your BSN first), an ADN is a great-CHEAP way to get into it. What I see a lot of people are doing now is getting t...

9. How were everyone's grades upon acceptance into a nursing program?

   bkingren1031 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey everyone, I just applied to some nursing programs and am a little weary because of my grades. Was wondering how they compare to others? A+P I-B A+P II - C+ (unfortunately) Micro- A Eng-B Psych-A and all my other credits (about 30) atleast a B+ an...

10. Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    bkingren1031 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you everyone for all the great comments! I think after careful consideration I'm going to try and get into one of the two state schools (one is for the ADN and the other school for the BSN). Though it will delay my career in pursuing it because...

11. Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    bkingren1031 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Well the absolute MOST they will offer is 5k a year if my gpa qualifies ... (3.5) hopefully t will but 5k isn't much :/

12. Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    bkingren1031 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes that is private and only the one I could even fathom to get into around.. I could apply for the state community college but that is for the ADN and I would unfortantey have to wait a whole another year to get in.

13. Is getting a BSN worth the insane amount of money?

    bkingren1031 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi all, I've seen a lot of debate in this question and I'm looking for some guidance. I live on Long Island and have finished all of my pre-requisites. I just applied for a BSN program for the fall of 2012, but the tuition is about 22k a year, and i...

14. Should I go for my BSN or ADN?

    bkingren1031 replied to bkingren1031's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you! Yeah I've been researching like crazy and the job market even here on long island new York is extremely towards the BSN... Looks as if theyre defintely trying to phase them out. Maybe the extra money I will be paying will be with the educa...

    bkingren1031 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hello everyone, I'm just having a little trouble figuring out what to do here. I've applied for the fall of 2012 for a BSN program but I'm getting myself nervous thinking about the loans I will be stuck paying off... The school is about 20k a year. I...
