    applying to direct entry masters programs

    I picked a public school in my region because of (a) cost, (b) location, and © the timing worked out
  2. The local community colleges only require 2.5 for their ASN programs through which admission is granted by means of a (very long) waiting list. The stats for admission to the 2nd degree programs at...

    Rumor of a six month 200K RN position in Iraq????

    What does your friend say regarding where s/he heard of this or how one finds out more about it? I'm pretty skeptical myself. Even more skeptical

    University's in California with a BSN major

    Personally, I'd choose a CSU school just for the cost advantage over a UC. I would apply to several, depending on where you want to spend your time while going to school. I'd also give some...

    I'd apply to several of them in order to maximize your probability of getting in somewhere. Are you wanting to stay local or are you willing to go anywhere in the

    Confused and frustrated!

    I hope this doesn't come off as denigrating because I don't mean it to be. I presume that English is not your native tongue. I would encourage you to (a) continue to study English in order to develop...

    Need advice and insight

    The older I get (be 44 very soon) the more my values change. Whether I enjoy it is down the list a ways (it used to be very near the top). I'll be OK if I just don't hate it most
  10. Hi hapiyogi. Probably your fastest way to an RN is to get into the accelerated 2nd degree program at Sac State. They do competitive admissions so you don't need to worry about lotteries or waiting...

    Need advice and insight

    I'm really sorry that you and your wife had to go through that awful experience. I must say, though, that such tragedy provides you with resources that most nurses do not have. Part of my motivation...

    I Got Accepted!!!

    Good for you, LadyBug. Savor the feeling. When I get stressed or frustrated about how school's going I hearken back to reading *my* letter (well, e-mail, actually) and the exuberant celebration that...

    Can I handle nursing?

    Well, you've got a five-year-old so you've done your share of poop. Blood is blood. I would think nasty, rotted teeth would be as bad as anything else. Don't sweat it... you'll get used to

    Am I doomed??

    Wiser words were never spoken. On many occasions I've been told how hard was a given class or instructor or that it was impossible to get an A. Each and every time I've managed to pull an A. I've...

    selling ATI books?

    Well, it looks like they draw bids. Not too high, though. My experience with ATI thus far is that it's a WASTE of money. I far prefer the Saunders book I have. I don't find the DVDs to offer anything...

    I Am So Freakin Bored And Tired I Want To Scream!

    Well, from the "grass is always greener" camp I'll say that a lot of people would be delighted to have a boring job sitting at a desk with internet access and, presumably, air conditioning. I would...

    Additional Classes for Nursing Students

    If possible, I would take pharmacology and pathophysiology before starting. For some programs they are prerequisites and for others they are required classes in the program. Even if you have to take...
