1. MSN Leadership/Ed or MSN-FNP?

   nursewithgrace replied to nursewithgrace's topic in Post Graduate

   I appreciate your response to my post and I totally agree with your reasoning! I actually received similar advice from the nurse educator on my unit and I think the FNP route would be best suited for me. I have looked into the CNS path and if I am re...

2. MSN Leadership/Ed or MSN-FNP?

   nursewithgrace posted a topic in Post Graduate

   Hi all! I have just been accepted to a master's program in Leadership and Education, a program that I'm excited about and I feel that it would be a good fit. I also have applied to two FNP programs and was invited to interview with the local one as p...

3. John Tyler Community College Nursing Fall 2015

   nursewithgrace replied to VAorthoRN's topic in General Students

   They don't ever communicate over weekends, and you could hear Monday! And don't worry about registration, the one on Monday is for summer, we can't register until July or so for fall! Plus you'll have orientation before you are able to register for c...

4. John Tyler Community College Nursing Fall 2015

   nursewithgrace replied to VAorthoRN's topic in General Students

   Hi everyone! On Monday one of our instructors told us they were selecting the new class that day and that there may be more than we have in our group which is 70. We all got emails and I remember rejections going out first and the acceptances came la...

5. Desperately in Need of Guidance: Deciding Between VCU & University of South Florida

   nursewithgrace replied to MJane29's topic in Educators

   Yes, absolutely!! I've never felt uncomfortable where I live, since it's a mostly quiet, residential area. Personally, I feel that the only places you might not feel safe in walking alone at night would be near the campuses of VCU--Jackson Ward and t...

   I do! Henrico is a huge area, and for safety, I'll just say I live in the west end. I really like it but my fiancé and I don't have kids so we're kind of out of place here. I'll DM you with some recommendations!

   nursewithgrace replied to MJane29's topic in Educators

   I figured since you posted in the VCU thread! April is beautiful here, so at least if you do decide to come you'll have lovely weather to walk around the campus--there's not much to the medical campus, but driving around it is a pain.

   Congratulations on getting accepted to two ABSN programs!! That's awesome. Just curious if by VCU you are referring to Virginia Commonwealth University? I live in the Richmond area and once applied to VCU and now attend one of our awesome ADN program...

9. South University or University of Cincinnati

   nursewithgrace replied to flrn26's topic in School Programs

   I went to UC for my first bachelor's degree and had many friends in the BSN program, and they loved it! I know it's a little different than the MSN, but I highly recommend UC, especially the nursing school, all of my friends said it was challenging b...

10. John Tyler Community College Nursing Fall 2015

    nursewithgrace replied to VAorthoRN's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if they look at the GPA from the previous bachelor's degree, but having one may help. I have a BS in business and while I had a high-ish GPA from that, I don't think that was considered. They probably only look at the grades from the 5 r...

    I really like it so far! It's the end of the third week and we just had our first test and quiz this week. Everyone in the program is great and the instructors are wonderful! Feel free to ask me any questions! Best of luck to you!

    @rwc29--I am a first semester student at JTCC and after applying during the fall period 2014 (July-August) I got my acceptance letter on October 17th. You can expect a similar timeframe, they probably won't deviate from their process from semester to...

    nursewithgrace replied to KRYSTRA1's topic in Virginia

    I'm in the traditional program, and ended up buying the set with physical books. I debated over and over whether or not I'd use the hard copies, but I tend to study better with a physical book in my hand to turn pages, reference, etc. For only a $200...

    I only have to take Nutrition, everything else is done! I may have to take Sociology again if they don't allow me to use the credit from my previous bachelors. But I plan on continuing on to get my BSN/MSN so I'll also take Microbiology, Chemistry, S...
