Hospital based nursing programs

[tkgal]

I am looking for a hospital based nursing program or similar situation and have had no luck finding anything other than Riverside in Newport News, VA. I was hoping to find one on the west coast somewhere. Anyone know of anything other than the schools on the east coast?

Actually not all hospital programs are diploma programs. Two here in New York City are ADN degrees.

That is true -- more and more of the remaining programs are converting to ADN programs (my hospital-based diploma program did that, long after I was gone, before it finally closed altogether).

I have not called them yet. I will try to apply to the program during July. I was denied from most of the schools that I applied this winter here in Portland. I am open to move, but I do not want have another denial letter. Will I be able to transfer diploma program to BSN? I wish I knew that there such programs that take a student without any perquisites when I started taking my classes.

I had no difficulty getting in a BSN completion program as a diploma grad -- the program I attended (at a nearby state university) made no distinctions between diploma or ADN grads. As long as one was a licensed, practicing RN, we were all treated the same. However, that was the only program I applied to, so I can't say that means there are no BSN completion programs that would balk at accepting diploma grads.

Thank you for your reply and I am going to contect them and I hope it will work out this time. I also hope that they will take my community college classes. I also like the idea that the school is in the hospital and I will have good skills.
