Research College of Nursing

A friend of mine is going to start in August '10 (pending prereq's and interview, etc).

I am an AO student. Just over 4 months left. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Hi,
I am starting the AO program this August (2009). I have mostly heard positive things about the program, but I guess you never know until you actually do it. For me, it was the best option seeing I already had a degree. I think it will be a pretty intense 12 months, but it's only 12 months.

ndaewg-- I would love to hear any suggestions you have to get ready for the program. I think my biggest concern is that I have a 2 year old who I have stayed home with since she was born and I am afraid I am not going to see her at all next year! How intense is the program? Thanks for any information you can provide!

I am in the same situation! I have been staying at home with my 15 month old since she was born and I'm so nervous to leave her for a year. What are your plans for your little one? Daycare? I hope that I will be able to spend enough time with my family and still be able to do well in the program. I also start in Aug '09. Nervous but excited to be a nurse!

I am a new grad of Research College of Nursing 2009 TO class. PM me if you want more info.

ndaewg- and myself just graduated from the AO!!!! yay and i wonder who is nursetobe09?? your 35 so i might know ya too.

it has its share of ups and downs like you's expect a 12 month BSN to go.

Yeah, we may know each other. But send me a PM as I do not want to reveal my identity on here. And I am no longer a nursetobe, I am officially a RN!

I am an Accellerated Option Student for Fall 2010, I am also a male. I was glad during our interview that I was not the only male. I look forward to meeting all of you, pray for me to pass all of my pre-reqs. Really the only pre-req that I am worried about is Chemistry I. I have not had Chemistry since highschool and have not had a math class in about 6 years.
