How much will the RN to MSN bridge cost you? While it may be cheaper to go the ADN route, the RN to MSN cost might end up being the same amount as DePaul's, so if that is the case, why make it 3 years longer when you can just get it done in two years...

Have you looked at Chamberlain? I believe it's min 2.75 gpa and then passing hesi and you're in. I went to an open house and it seems like a really good school. They have high pass rates for nclex and are accredited. It is $$$ though cause its a for ...

Check out DePaul's MENP program. It doesn't have the CNL focus, and doesn't require you to specialize. What I do like about it though is that it does incorporate core courses for advanced practical nursing (but it's general), so should you choose you...

Ah okay. That makes sense. Thank you soo much. I think I will just keep the essay positive the whole way through and hope for the best. I think I will also apply for ABSN programs as well so that I'm not entirely relying on Depaul to accept me into a...
