Thank you for the info! I have narrowed it down to either Frontier or Georgetown. Since I am still working on my BSN, I am going to stay open to which grad school to go to. I also spoke with my nursing adviser this morning and she too mentioned Front...
A lot of the programs I have spoken with will accept students with any hospital experience. They understand that L&D units are really hard to get into. Also, Georgetown told me that they will not penalize an applicant for doing an ADN then bridgi...
Thank you for the reply! I didn't look at it like that. I think I was just trying to find a speedy way to get to the end. However, experience takes time. Who knows, I may find that I love bedside nursing once I start! Besides, I want to be the best N...

HA! I was originally going to school for teaching; but, since TX has put a hold on hiring public teachers, I thought I should look into other careers. The responsibility nurses have terrified me at first. Then, after I took A&P, I realized this i...

I would make sure the General Bio will transfer. Most likely, it will; but you will need to make sure. Now, for how challenging the schedule will be. Introductory level bio and chem are pretty easy. Also, general psych and sociology seem like the sam...
Also, in some states, hospitals use private companies to screen potential employees. If your name lands on the "should not hire" list, you will not be able to get a job at any hospital that uses that company.
