1. question about Trinitas admissions with a BA

   dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in New Jersey

   Ah, I see. So doing the nursing diploma only would take less time than the associates degree. That seems like a good option. I will discuss it with the enrollment specialist next week and will let you know what happens. Thanks!!!

2. question about Trinitas admissions with a BA

   dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in New Jersey

   I'd like to do an accelerated program but they are all during the day and I have to work then. I don't understand what the diploma option is. Is it just the nursing classes without the basic college courses? I don't see what the difference is betw...

3. question about Trinitas admissions with a BA

   dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in New Jersey

   Thanks for the advice! I was in touch with an enrollment specialist yesterday by e-mail and she told me what prereqs to take and mentioned the diploma option but didn't go into detail and said to call her, so I will next week. Did you do the diplom...

4. question about Trinitas admissions with a BA

   dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in New Jersey

   Ok, I guess no one knows the answer so I will ask a different question. I applied to UCC the other day and they sent me info on how to register for classes. So do I now send them my transcripts (from high school & college) or do I take the prer...

5. question about Trinitas admissions with a BA

   dreamer19 posted a topic in New Jersey

   I have a BA in psych from many years ago and I want to attend Trinitas, but I can't find any info about the procedure for someone who already has a BA. I even wrote to the dean and she said to look on their website, but all I see is info for those w...

6. EMT a plus or a minus?

   dreamer19 replied to cookderosa's topic in Career Support

   I know this is an old thread, but I'm thinking of doing the EMT route myself so I was just wondering if you've started taking the class yet and what you think of it.

7. Thinking About Starting Nursing School at age 50

   dreamer19 replied to Candyy's topic in General Nursing

   I am 43 and am considering nursing school because I am feeling unfulfilled in my current career, but I would NEVER quit my job in order to go to school. My job is my safety net so I plan to get my ADN by taking classes at night and will take my time...

8. Starting BSN 2nd Degree. Worrying about this major career change...Please help!!

   dreamer19 replied to LR1297's topic in General Nursing

   27 is not exactly 'old' and if you hate your current career, then it seems like a no-brainer for you to go into nursing. Hey, I'm 43 and I'm going for it. The BSN programs here are all full-time though so I am going for the ADN and then maybe do th...

9. Nursing as a Second Career

   dreamer19 replied to mljhorn's topic in Career Support

   I asked almost the same question a few days ago. You might want to search for it because I got a lot of good advice. I'm going to do the ADN route because it's more flexible. I also can't quit my job to go to school so the ADN will let me take cla...

10. RN or BSN

    dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like we're in the same situation! I can't quit my job either, but I did find a BSN program that said you don't have to be a full-time student and can take classes at your own pace. But I like your idea. Taking the ADN at the community colle...

11. RN or BSN

    dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, you're right! I have to get some pre-requisites out of the way though, so I will have to work on those before I apply (mainly science courses). There are some others they list that are similar to courses I took in college, but I'm not sure if ...

12. RN or BSN

    dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in General Nursing

    As I said in my OP, I'd like to do the BSN, but the only BSN programs around here are full-time and I can't afford to quit my job. I have a BA in psych so I won't have to take any of those classes so I only need the nursing classes and science. The...

13. RN or BSN

    dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in General Nursing

    I live in NJ. The programs I'm looking at have both full and part-time options. Full-time just is not an option for me. That sounds tough, but I have friends who are nurses so I have some idea what I'm getting myself into. How many classes did you...

14. RN or BSN

    dreamer19 replied to dreamer19's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone! Since I can't do the full-time BSN program (unfortunately) I'll do the ADN first and then get the BSN later. I'm not in a huge rush and I'm assuming that when I do go for the BSN, maybe I won't have to take as many classes since I ...

    Hi all. I just need a little advice. I have a BA in psychology and have been working in publishing for the past 15 years. I like my job well enough, but I've always been interested in health care and am looking for a way to get into it. I live c...
