  4. WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

  7. WGU RN-BSN 11/1/11 start

  10. SALLIE MAE or ASTRIVE Student Loan ?

    I have loans through both lenders, no problems with either company. I would say that the biggest difference was that Astrive had a lower origination fee. Sallie Mae has recently changed their loan...
  11. The exact same thing happened to me...I finally closed my application with them in May 2007 after sending the 4th fax with the same information that they kept insisting I never sent. In August 2007, I...
  12. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    My first job was a retail sales clerk at JC Penney (16 years old working in the lingerie dept no less). I made it through one Christmas season and turned in my resignation the first of the new year,...
  13. which online school?

    Don't know if you've checked the distance/online learning forum but there is a permanent sticky there that should answer all your questions: https://allnurses.com/forums/f125/rn-bsn-online-105380.html...
  14. Are my answers correct?

    I agree with you, Daytonite...I'm inclined to go with B as well but think for some reason that the answer will end up being D. yadis572002, it would be great if you could post the answer when you find...
  15. As others have pointed out, this is not a correct statement. Many alumni from the diploma program I am currently enrolled in are employed in other states (and considered by many to be some of the best...

  18. Internship Questions

    I would say that they best thing to do is check directly with any hospitals in your area where you would like to work to see what their internship requirements are. All of the hospitals in my area...
  19. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    Wow, what a nightmare. Thanks for the great information, I will definitely keep all of this in mind now that I'm getting knee-deep in the loan adventure myself. How is the nursing program going?...
  20. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    Watts is not extremely hard to get into but there is a process that can take about a month to complete -- application/written statement/references, the PSB test (which is not difficult but can trip...
  21. I took AP1 and APII (with Labs) through Edukan. Great classes, lots of work, reasonable tuition. No problem with transferring these courses to my nursing program. Like others have mentioned, just make...
  22. Not sure if this is a mistake....

    I wouldn't do it, especially since it is not required that you go through College Network to get into ISU's LPN-BSN program. I think it would be less costly and less complicated to just take any...
  23. ECPI versus Wake Tech, DTCC, Wilson, or Barton

    The program has a good reputation but is expensive, I believe the cost is up to $23K or thereabouts for the 1 year LPN program. I know several people who attended and they are very satisfied with the...
