3. Is getting my RN at a technical college a bad idea?

   misscee replied to DanielStern's topic in General Students

   I feel I can really relate to this, having lost both of my parents to horrible illnesses (Alzheimer's and Cancer). Bravo for working hard and finishing what you set out to do! I'm in the beginning stages of my schooling and the work ahead of me feels...

   misscee replied to Kelbelle21's topic in Virginia

   Where are you in your studies now? I have not enrolled due to some obstacles in my world the last few months but I'm still striving for my nursing degree. Did you get accepted somewhere? Still taking classes at CC?

   misscee replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in General Students

   misscee replied to Kelbelle21's topic in Virginia

   I am so glad to hear that DLB_RN! I am looking for backup because I know I want my BSN eventually and haven't spoken to anyone who completed their studies at Chamberlain. I even recently spoke to a recruiter who stated she's hired a few Chamberlain n...

   Thank you for your input hanoi98. I'd really like to apply this fall and have heard discouraging things.

10. Pre-reqs at NVCC

    misscee replied to misscee's topic in Virginia

    I hear different things about the competitiveness. People have told me some years more people than available slots have applied and those are the hardest years to get in. I chose the NAS route so I'd like to stick it out at NVCC, personally.

13. Pre-reqs at NVCC

    misscee replied to misscee's topic in Virginia

    I feel like there must be a bridge or advance placement since you've already earned your LPN. I would definitely ask an advisor since NVCC would be more cost efficient vs. One of those online colleges like Excelsior.

14. Pre-reqs at NVCC

    misscee replied to misscee's topic in Virginia

    The accelerated online route doesn't take the summer off. The classroom portion is online and you meet for clinicals. It starts in January of each year. There are pre-reqs that are required first. It gives a breakdown on their site.

15. Has anyone done EMT studies at NVCC?

    misscee replied to misscee's topic in Virginia

    This right here is exactly why I love this site! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me. I do really want to be a RN and I'm determined to make that happen. I've noticed that clinical technician positions at the hospitals like EMT trai...
