   It might be possible, depending on your circumstances but I had a 3.6 GPA and was rejected. Good luck to you.

4. BA to ADN to MSN?

   sholmsen replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

   Hi elguezsm, yup, I've thought of that. I applied to a few 2nd degree programs. I actually almost, almost (so close) moved to DC (I'm from CA) to attend one there, but I just last week decided not to move and instead attend a community college near w...

   sholmsen replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the feedback knittingmonster and juliewoo. Well, I'm not sure which field I would like to specialize in yet so I wanted to get some experience first before I go in to a masters program. Good to hear there are others doing the same thing. G...

   Wow, IrishEyes. I will definitly steer clear of Wells Fargo's loans. That totally sucks. Thanks for the advice.

8. 2nd Degree BSN or ADN? Please help

   sholmsen replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

   Wow, I'm shocked that a graduate first off, didn't like the program, and secondly said Georgetown was not widely known. Everyone I tell that I'm going to school there had totally heard of it, and knows that it has a good reputation and respected name...

   All really good points that you make. I just came back from a doctor's appointment to get my health clearance and immunization paperwork signed off on and my doctor said the same thing as you just mentioned, both about how if the relationship with my...

    sholmsen replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    Paco386, thank you. That is what I essentially have broken it down to--what are my long-term goals? At this point I think I want to go on to become a family nurse practioner. I know you're right about things changing either way with my friends and fa...

11. What do you think is the best type of loan for nursing school

    Nope, she didn't mention any thing like that. (So I sent a follow up e-mail, but it was mid-Friday, therefore likely too late in the day. I'm sure we'll all be updated at the same time. I'm just hoping that the July 4th deadline is still in place. I'...

    Hi all! I agree. I'm freaking out here. I'm going crazy waiting, waiting, waiting. Everyday, waiting for SM to contact me. I've e-mailed the admissions director so many times that I'm worried they think I'm crazy (although she's been so nice and unde...
