  2. Is nursing school worth it?

    When everything is all said and done, I will be roughly $55-60K in debt. Personally, I would try your hardest to not go over $50. Look into going to a BSN program instead of MSN. It will be cheaper and there is really no reason to get an MSN to work ...

  6. Is Pregnancy During Nursing School Doable?

  7. Frustrated with the Admission Process

    Wow, I am sorry! That is a terrible system! I would probably apply to other programs around my area as well as that one. Just make sure their NCLEX pass rate is sufficient.
  8. I just want the letter!

    I think they may have deleted that FB bc it wasn't coming up through the link or a search I did end up finding the fundamentals book super cheap and used on amazon. The others I am going to wait for just because most say [for Austin Peay...] and I a...
  9. I just want the letter!

    Now, I am having to force myself to not purchase my books off Amazon. They are supposed to send out an email with info in about 2.5 weeks and they register us in the courses. None of this has happened and I just have a possible book list. I am debati...
  10. How do I know if this is fit for me?

    I have gone back and forth SO many times when it comes to nursing. When I first started college, I was an English/Political Science double major and planned to go to Law School. This is something I had been planning for years. Law School had been my ...

  12. Social help, not fitting in

    (((((HUGS)))))) You seem to have a tone of great comments (sorry, didn't read them all). I just want to add that you will be thankful you had the extra study time. I am really social and have a serious problem with getting distracted by people. Also,...

  14. Would this be smart?

    I wouldn't buy them now, if you have a whole year. First, what if you are not accepted into the program you buy books for? Second, what if they change the book? I would go with the above advice and just put the $$ somewhere and forget about it. I wil...
  15. BSN or ADN?

    There are also a TON of threads asking this question. You may find some more info in those. I would go with what you get accepted into. Will your hospital offer TA for the ADN or bridge program? I think it would be better to get an ADN and bridge vs ...
