I JUST GOT ACCEPTED TO BAPTIST AND WILL BE STARTING THIS FALL. I AM SO EXCITED. I WAS WANTING TO KNOW IF ANYONE COULD TELL ME WHAT TO EXPECT AT ORIENTATION AND ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES AT THE SCHOOL.:confused:

Most people have to sit out the trimester before clinicals. I transfered to Baptist in spring of 07 and I'm starting clinicals in spring of 09. I'm also an evening/weekend student. Day students start clinicals must faster.

that's ridiculous! why do they set up their program that way? i emailed someone about this and about seeing how to move my date up. they emailed me back suggesting i do a minor in healthcare management. grrrrrrrr... anything to get more money out of us, i guess.

I called last week and they said the same thing about a minor in health care management. It does suck!!! I start clinicals Spring 2010. I am doing the day program. I was hoping to start 2009. Two wasted semesters.

Where are clinicals done anyway??

I have the both of you beat I start Fall of 2010. I think I am starting to want to explore other options.

I was thinking about exploring other options too, but I don't know what else I would love to do. Guess, I'll just have to ask God to grant me some patience

Well, what I mean by other options is maybe becoming and LPN first, because it is cheaper and not as long of a wait. Or Doing somehting called the RODP-AASN. You take A &P 1&2 and microbiology or pathophysiology. Then you take the nursing theory online and do your clinicals with a home school. It seemed like a cheaper and shorter route. But I would really prefer to have a BSN.

yeah. i think even though it's going to be 3 years, i would much rather do that than go through alternative avenues. the bsn is worth its weight in gold.

Yeah it's worth it for a BSN. I see so many people on the site who are just going for LPN or CNA.. I think BSN is the only way for me. Anything else, too me, is a waste of time.
