I am in process of searching for accelerated BSN programs that are approx. 12 months or less. I have started app for one program but have questions for those already in or in process of applying to same program..Did you apply to one program only or h...

For the past year or so no matter what decisions I make in life - an inner voice keeps telling me to pursue nursing and move. I have just graduated with non-nursing degree but have taken nursing prereq classes as far back as 1993.. I have not pursued...

I wish you all the best Marla. With your skills you should have no trouble finding a job. Enjoy your time off.

I in all likelihood will be moving to MDR in Feb' 2006. I am aware of how expensive it is but have opportunity to rent 3 bed/3 story home for 2K. I will need roomates but my questions are as follows: I want to know how to find out what utilitity expe...

I agree follow your heart. Do not be like me. I have always wanted to do nursing but have not always followed my gut instinct. I took Human Anatomy classes as far back as 1992 and guess what I am still not a nurse! Despite what many people's experien...

Nelligolitely, I wanted to thank you for writing your email. Like you I have extremely low self-esteem, have suffered from depression and do not always handle stress well. I am over-cautious as I doubt my own judgment so double check everything! When...

I may be moving to MDR in March of 2006. I have some questions.. Have opportunity to rent 3 story home in MDR for 2K - is that reasonable? What is social life like as I will move there not knowing a single soul? How far is it from Irvine? What is job...

Daytonite, Thanks for reply. I did not realize Irvine was so far. I am not in a rush and have just started to post resume targeting my degree. I am waiting to see if I get responses from CA companies and see who is interested in me..The place in MDR ...

Can you give me the url for the ETS website please? Is it ETS.com. I will be taking GRE next year. I wanted to go into nursing but think I will be going for speech therapy instead.

Belinda, I am not a nurse yet but I am originally from Preston and have lived in AZ since 1988. There isn't much I don't know about this state so if you have any questions I am glad to answer them.

I will be graduating next May from ASU and looking to move to Marina del Rey or nearby area. I was going to move with a friend but that has fallen thru as she owes me some money and hasn't paid me a dime back. I call but get no response so we are off...

There is a thread on this somewhere. I will be in same boat next year if I decide to proceed with accelerated BSN. I have heard BankOne has loan program and SallieMae. For my first Bachelor's I am using student loan program and could not survive with...

Soulshine75, Please note that many people who are nurses on this board come to this site so they can vent their frustrations. You have to know that nursing currently does have many issues and many nurses are not happy with the state of affairs they s...

Jennifer, Dont' feel guility. I know you are venting but they know the terms of your contract so don't feel guilty! I use my answering machine at home all the time - even for friends. I will pick up the phone if I choose to. Take advantage of your an...

I would like to know from 2nd career RNS who are either in process of getting RN degree or in the field now if you regret your decision to enter nursing or happy with decision? I would like to know the pros and cons. Thanks...

If I were you I would go for an accelerated BSN. It will be more expensive but you will be out in the workforce 18 months earlier than in the regular BSN program. Many people nowadays take accelerated BSN programs and are wonderful nurses. I would su...

There are many nice place to live such as Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa and Phoenix.Flagstaff is nice but I have never lived there. Temperatures are more reasonable than in the Valley. But like all places there are bad areas within each of places I mention...

Cindee, Many of us older students know how you feel. I am 43 in October and currently finishing my degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (business and Gerontology) and then either want to pursue degree in nursing or radiation therapy. I do well in all ...

Hey Rocknurse - you may want to look at CRNA discussion forum and get answers there but from reading this board for 2-3 years I do believe (100%) that you need BSN to become CRNA and CRNA school is competitive. It would have been ice to meet you as I...

[You have to decide as stated that if you are interested down road in management that a BSN is probably best choice but there some nures on this obard who are managers that have ASNs. This topic been discussed many time search archives. I will grduat...

I would do as suggested and contact (perhaps anonymously) your local state BON and ask them. Also go to BON website and see what it says. I am in same boat in a way. Got DWI 18 years ago but nothing since then. I was stupid - no tickets or anything s...

how are u all paying for school for accelerated programs?

Oldnewbie, I didn't apply for financial aid in 2003 until actually quite late (applied like late July/early August). I did the FAFSA and submitted it and had no problems at all. I think that I might have confused your or exaggerated but I do know tha...

Oldnewbie, I am 42 and pursuing now a degree in Gerontologf and business with intent of going for accelerated BSN after that. I was in same situation last year. I was laid off from job that paid over 40K in 2002. I had good severance package but tha...
