1. Working while in CRNA school...

   SoniaReb replied to JustForToday's topic in SRNA

   My sister went attended a CRNA program years ago and worked two 12-shifts per week (weekends) in an NICU. She completed the 2.5 year program and finished at the top of her class and pass her boards on her first attempt. It all depends on the indivi...

2. Did not pass my patho class and now idk what to do

   SoniaReb replied to love.live.laugh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't understand this huge cost and time difference that you speak of. If your intention is to continue a Nursing Program elsewhere, why not retake the course(s) (Patho and Micro Lab) at your current school vi...

3. 2nd degree BSN worth it?

   SoniaReb replied to SupermommyNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A key point to consider is that having a bachelors degree and continuing your studies will severely impact access to financial aid. This should factor into your decision as to whether to continue your current degree or switch to a nursing program. ...

4. CNA first and then RN?

   SoniaReb replied to castrl1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   IMHO, you should stay in school and finish your prerequisites as quickly as you can and move on to your end goal of getting your BSN (or ADN) and becoming an RN. Why delay the process? With the annual increases in Tuition at most Universities, the ...

5. AP biology

   SoniaReb replied to rkan's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have a general question: Is it better to do AP courses or Dual Enrollment Classes (if qualified and available in your State) at a nearby Community College (CC)? Doing a class at a CC pretty much guarantee that a passing grade (C or better) will b...

6. Should I take my algebra classes over?

   SoniaReb replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm not sure which State you are located in, but in our State, the prerequisite for the Statistics Course, is College Algebra, not Intermediate Algebra! Curious, when you say 2.5, is that equivalent to a C+? BTW, are you attending a For-Profit Priv...

7. ITT Tech RN program?

   SoniaReb replied to nursingstudent2015's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It is interesting that you only sign up on July 14,2014 and has only made two posts related to ITT Tech RN Program. Are you really a graduate from the school or are you one of the paid Recruiter? I suspect the latter. Have you found a RN job to da...

8. Quitting tomorrow, in panic

   SoniaReb replied to ~Shrek~'s topic in New Nurse

   What about taking a Month or a few weeks off? Is a leave of absence out of the question? Quitting is not necessarily the only option available or the most prudent thing to do. Are you very active outside of work?

9. CRNA nursing students who are over 40 and dismissed from their programs.

   SoniaReb replied to Peggy F's topic in SRNA

   Can you expand on the reason why you were dismissed, with only 3-months to graduation? This seems like a nightmare and doesn't make sense. Do they have an appeal process and did you go that route? Have you exhausted all your options?

10. Fortis College

    SoniaReb replied to msash's topic in Indiana

    B-I-N-G-O!! I agree and if that is the case, here we have so many students who have spent over $30-$40K on an Associate Degree and cannot get a degree or sit the boards/get licensed/get a Nursing Job. This is so ridiculous and appears as a scam to ...

11. itt tech scam?

    SoniaReb replied to agills's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Many times the 75% pass rate is very misleading, since the number of people from the school that actual took the test is very small. What is doesn't reflect is the high number of their students that were not allowed to take the test in the first pla...

12. IUPUI Traditional Spring 2015

    SoniaReb replied to jessicag2014's topic in Indiana

    In most states (I could be wrong here), the traditional BSN program is two years or at most 4 semesters + a summer session. Why is it three years at IUPUI? Also, most accelerated programs at 1 year to 15-months. Is the two prerequisites you are mis...

13. I want to quit pre-nursing for social work!

    SoniaReb replied to pumpkinlover95's topic in Career Support

    Really???? .... and what will happen when one follows their "bliss" and cannot find a job in the chosen field and end up returning to live with Mom and Dad for an extended period of time? One should not based their career choices on easy majors or a...

14. Azure College

    SoniaReb replied to roundbrown26's topic in Florida

    Financial aid blunder puts Azure students in a lurch SEBRING — After losing its financial aid in its Sebring location, Azure College offered 45 LPN and RN nursing students some options, but some are upset with the situation. Woei-Long La, whose wife,...

15. Am I screwed?

    SoniaReb replied to llamadan's topic in SRNA

    I think this is the critical point here. Getting into a CRNA School is so competitive, with more qualified prospects than there are available spots. Although posters are reticent to provide negative feedback, your chances at this point in time is s...
