Join honors program in nursing school?

Published

Hey everyone,

I'm new here, my first post!

Here's my question. At our school, the nursing department offers an honors program (one course a semester is enriched and submit a thesis at the end of your education). The scholarship covers all tuition:heartbeat. I'm curious if anybody else here has done something like this? I am afraid my stress level may go through the roof:uhoh3:; however, I only have one semester of nursing school to judge by (I've done well so far, As). Did it get in the way of your classes, making good grades?

Background info on me. 2nd degree student, using subsidized Stafford loans to cover my tuition- but I'd like to not have to pay that back :yeah:

Thanks!

Welcome!

Wow, it covers your tuition? We have an honors program at my school but it's basically just something to add to your resume. I'm not in it, but I know a few people who are and it is definitely a lot of work. They've had to do extra research and write papers and attend conferences. It seems to be a lot of stress, but I think that's the point - you've proven that you're a good student and could handle it!

Do you have any more information about it? In your case I think it would be an amazing opportunity, especially for the money! I think it's just all about managing your time correctly!

Man, I'd take that in a heartbeat. Nursing school is stressful whichever way you slice it. I wouldn't mind piling on a little more and get the HUGE stress reliever of not being in debt after!!
