1. George Washington University ABSN?

   healthyanalyst replied to leenak's topic in Virginia

   I live in VA but work in MD so am familiar with long commutes. :) I have to admit that Ashburn is kinda "out there". Once you get to Loudon (sterling,etc) you still have to go all the way out to Ashburn but I still think its doable. I don't know how ...

   Hmmm, I've heard about Reston and VA Hospital Center being some of the ones that will hire ADN/ASNs....i wonder if this is true

3. NVCC transfer to Mason

   healthyanalyst replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Virginia

   forgot to mention that Mason has this bold print stating that just because you have Associates doesnt mean you automatically meet all gen ed requirements. Click on the RN-BSN track and be sure to thoroughly review their PDF presentation. good luck! :...

4. NVCC transfer to Mason

   healthyanalyst replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in Virginia

   Coincidence that I read your post as soon as I left GMU's website. I think the only class you'll really need is ethics as long as you complete the NVCC associates program and get your RN license. Mason has a RN-BSN program so they waive nutrition req...

   There were a lot of people with a nursing background in my Health Care Administration masters program.

6. Career change - M.P.H. into nursing

   healthyanalyst replied to troop949's topic in Career Support

   Oh wow, I'm in the same boat with A LOT of people here! I have a M.H.A. (BS in Biology) but have always wanted to be a nurse. I'm a senior research analyst in the health care field and like someone else said here, I've always wanted to work directly...

7. New Grads vs Me. I hate this economy.

   healthyanalyst replied to SushiRN's topic in Career Support

   Hi SushiRN, Congrats on the job!! Your 1st post said you graduated in 2009 and then your post above says that your employer wants you to pursue your BSN at GMU, so I'm guessing you got your ASN/ADN in 09. Do you think this was part of the reason yo...

   healthyanalyst replied to LawyerRN2b's topic in Virginia

   I'm so interested in the responses to this question as well. Where are you all getting jobs? Classes of 2010 and/or 2011?

9. Do you think im crazy for my nurse aspiration?

   healthyanalyst replied to nursewannabe2013's topic in Pre-Nursing

   couple things about this post... 1) I don't understand how the OP is not being responsible? He/she is paying their debt and plans to continue paying it. 2) I don't see why people consider loans "free money". Nothing is free, You have to pay it back w...

11. Employment in DC area with ADN or BSN program based on my previous education/exp?

    healthyanalyst replied to healthyanalyst's topic in Career Support

    thanks so much for replying.....I'll see what happens...I really want the BSN. If I get in the Accelerated BSN, I may have to just suck it up and add more student loan debt

    healthyanalyst posted a topic in Career Support

    Hi all! I am applying to a 1 year accelerated BSN program and an ASN program for Fall 2012. I am really leaning towards the ASN. The BSN program is over 40K and the ASN will cost me maybe 9K. I have bachelors in biology and masters in health administ...
