  5. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    No, I have not. I've thus far been focused on knocking out prerequisites and volunteering. I didn't want to get too far ahead of myself in case I washed out or didn't find nursing to be a good fit. I...

  6. Mira Costa Palomar spring 2018 ADN program

    JD2RN replied to gabbysilt09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! That is great news. The smaller class size was a real draw for me to MCC (as well as their NCLEX pass rate -- 3rd highest in the state!), but if Grossmont is only 40 students and has the 9th...

  7. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Wow! Thank you! That is very kind of you. I am currently a volunteer in the Thornton ED, which I love. I have a passion for mental health issues, which is why I am considering the psych NP route. But,...

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Also, just to clarify, the MSN-CNL program is normally 2 years. But, SDSU allows you to take up to 9 grad-level units in non-degree status prior to admission. Since I have nothing else to do for the...

  11. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    I don't have to work during the MSN program, but it would be nice to get experience, if possible. We are used to me being out of the workforce, so it's not a financial necessity. I think most new...

  12. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    If we had a 12 month ABSN here in SD, I might consider it. Unfortunately, all the ABSN programs here are 15-24 months, and 50-75K+ -- even the state schools consider the programs "extended studies,"...

  13. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Right. It is unlikely that I will get hired in SD hospitals with an ADN. I'm trying to figure out if an ADN + MSN-CNL will have any downside

  15. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Yes. I am aware. The post-MSN PMHNP cert program at CSUSM looks at the individual MSN program to determine any deficiencies (ie a previous MSN-NP is not required for the cert -- just an MSN + any...

  16. Mira Costa Palomar spring 2018 ADN program

    JD2RN replied to gabbysilt09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought Grossmont took 60? Am I incorrect? Also, does anyone have an idea if Grossmont vs. Mira Costa has a better reputation with employers? I live much closer to Grossmont, but I would consider...

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Congrats on your ABSN program admission, and good luck! We can afford for me to be out of work indefinitely (I have already been away from legal practice for 10 years to have babies; I am only...

  18. Is CNS masters program a bad idea for regular RN on hospital floor?

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    We have one very pricey, ELM-PMHNP in San Diego (@ Azusa Pacific, and still takes 4-5 years). Apart from volunteering in the ED, I have no experience in nursing, yet alone nursing in psych. It seems...

    JD2RN replied to Natalie513's topic in Clinical Nurse Specialists, CNS

    Natalie, What did you ultimately decide to do? I also have a BA + JD, and am pursuing a second career in nursing. I refuse to spend the $$$ on the accelerated BSN or direct entry MSN programs in my...

    JD2RN replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking advanced physiology/pathophysiology at UND online. It's a grad level course, but so far, I am hanging (ETA: I have a non-nursing BA, so can get an MSN in the same amount of time as a RN to...

    Anyone with a prior BA have experience doing the RN to MSN? How long did it take you to finish? Wondering if I could complete the program in a

    JD2RN replied to JD2RN's topic in Western Governors University

    Hi! I am a lawyer pursuing a second career in nursing. I am applying to BSN and ADN programs in San Diego this fall (hence my question about the pre-licensure program), but am looking into RN to BSN...
