No I didn't stay on campus......I was married with a family then......my daughter like 10 and my son 5 months at the time....so no I didn't. (LOL A lot has changed since then.....divorced and my daughter out of state, now 16 and I have since come out of the closet!) I didn't work as with school and the kids and a house to manage it would have been too hard. though i did have to get a loan to cover some of our expenses with me not working.....several of the students did work...the younger ones with no kids, etc. and they worked like part time........some so they could be getting school free. If you worked at least 17.5 hours you could get benefits, including school. The program runs May to May with like a 2 or 3 week break in the middle. BA in psych .....do you want to be a psych RN? That is what I do....love it!

Grace.....Hi! Sorry if it took a while for me to realize I had messages. Yes, I went to the U of R for my BSN.....are you from the area? Well I can tell you I had a good experience. However I have a feeling a lot has changed since I was there in 2002 as this was the first year of the program--I was actually the first person to inquire of the new program and first person accepted into the brand new program-- we had a class of 24 including me. Well it has grown tremendously. It doubled in the second year alone. We were all the the same set of classes and now they have sections and all that. There are a set of prerequisits that you have to take prior to the program.......my year they were not so strick about that and there were a couple people litterally taking the classes on-line concurrently with nurisng classes. They don't allow that any longer. Its a good number of classes so really if you count them it is more then a yera if you have to take them all. I lucked out with that because my first degree was in Health Science so I had them all already with that degree.......The instructors and very good......the Pharmacology teacher is Amy Karch who actually is the author of the Lippincotts Nurses Drug guide. Brilliant! I would reccomend the program..........is there anything else you want to know?
