1. New Grad Influx?

   bano.bsn replied to bano.bsn's topic in Government

   I really hope you aren't implying that I am merely looking for a job. My husband is a disabled Army Vet and I am well aware that it is more than just a job as we live with the choice of him serving our country every day. So, if anyone one has any va...

2. New Grad Influx?

   bano.bsn posted a topic in Government

   Does anyone know of the Army having the same huge influx of New Grad nurses wanting to join as active duty? The Navy told me 2 years of waiting to get in, Air Force said at least 1 year, but I haven't inquired about the Army. Its crazy that people w...

3. Air Force life

   bano.bsn replied to bano.bsn's topic in Government

   Thanks for the advice everyone! The ironic part is I have been a runner and extremely active my whole life, and now when it counts I am scared of doing a 5K!

4. Air Force life

   bano.bsn posted a topic in Government

   With much research, thought, and consideration I have decided to join the Air Force. I am a new grad in Ca and therefore do not have much hope of getting a job in the near future. My husband is an Army Vet and is 100% supportive of becoming a militar...

5. Keeping Prior Licenses?

   bano.bsn replied to bano.bsn's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the replies! I think I will fork out the dough and keep the license (I think its around $50 plus 6 units of Continuing Education). I guess its sad that today I may have to worry about not getting an RN job right away! Better safe than....

6. Keeping Prior Licenses?

   bano.bsn posted a topic in General Students

   Hi All, I am currently in a Accelerated BSN program that ends next year. I currently have a phlebotomy license that will expire in the Fall. Being a broke nursing student, I am debating whether to renew it? My only thinking is that it might look goo...

7. Should I even begin to pursue this?

   bano.bsn replied to TiffanyBCbus's topic in General Students

   I think it depends on the schools you are applying to. Places like John's Hopkins, Yale, etc., of course those probably need a pretty high GPA. It's just like after you graduate from high school and you know not to apply to Harvard because you don't ...

8. money anxiety...

   bano.bsn replied to ZenStudent's topic in General Nursing

   I'm in the same boat. Except I already have about 30k in debt from my first degree at a state school in Ca. I'm starting a accelerated BSN in a week and have applied for financial aid which added up to about 40k for one year. It does make me nervous ...

9. Metro Students!

   bano.bsn posted a topic in Colorado

   Am I going crazy? I just clicked on the metro nursing website and the accelerated program now states it is "17 months," starts in January, and is completed in 4 semesters?!? Have they changed their whole program within the last couple weeks or someth...

10. Car for Nursing school?

    bano.bsn replied to bano.bsn's topic in Colorado

    Thanks for your advice. I can see how being the "only one who needs a ride" a uncomfortable situation! I really don't want to be that person! :)

11. Car for Nursing school?

    bano.bsn posted a topic in Colorado

    Do you think it is a necessity to own a car during nursing school? I live 2-3 miles away from my actual school in Denver, so biking/bus is ok to get there. My husband & I only have one car at the moment and I was just wondering about your experie...

12. Metro Accelerated BSN

    bano.bsn replied to Yayamaya's topic in Colorado

    Hi Elizabeth, My husband & I moved last week to Denver. We had flown out and searched for housing (single family home type places). We got really lucky and found a place from Craigslist. It's a high end-duplex with a little backyard (we have 2 b...

    gj chriso, Did you end up hearing from Metro yet?

    bano.bsn replied to Yayamaya's topic in Colorado

    They told me to reply by last Friday, Jan. 23. They said "if you dont reply by this time your seat will be given to another student"....etc. Good Luck, hope you get in!!

15. Metro Accelerated BSN

    bano.bsn replied to Yayamaya's topic in Colorado

    davwil52, Really helpful stuff and more motivation for me to go to Metro. I was at the campus today, checking it out for the first time (I'm moving from Ca). The nursing secretary said 36 people are in the program, so that's good it is somewhat smal...
