I was just wondering if anyone uses anatomy flash cards to study and which ones are the best. I want to make sure they are worth the extra money since I already spent over $300 on books and stuff! Thanks!

Congratulations on your new job! I will be graduating in May and am starting to worry about finding a job when I'm done! What floor are you going to be working on? Did you have any problem getting interviews? Did you have any previous tech experi...

Hello, Is there anybody out there that attends BJ College of Nursing in St. Louis? I'm still doing prereqs, but plan on attending there when I am finished. I know they are planning some changes soon (eliminating the ASN program), but was wondering ...

Hello, I will be finished with nursing school in April next year and would REALLY like to do OB. However, those jobs are pretty hard to come by around here especially for new grads. My second choice is probably cardiac, but I was wondering if it wo...

What department are you in and what do you like about it? I'll be graduating in May and have been thinking about the possibilities. Do they still have tuition reimbursement? I know some of the hospitals have stopped it for the time being. I was j...

Thanks for the tips--they're good ones! (I think I'll print them out and keep them for later in the year so I don't forget!) I was wondering when to start applying, because I know a few people who waited too long and then had a hard time finding som...

Congratulations on your new job! I'm still in school at Barnes College of Nursing and will be graduating next year. What department will you be working in? Have any job search or interview tips you'd like to share? Have to get back to doing my ca...

Actually, Barnes' Upper Division program is now 5 semesters,(used to be 6) including a summer (19 months). I'm in it now and it's pretty manageable--much more so than what I've heard about the Accelerated!

Hello, I started the Upper Division BSN program there last month, and while I go during the day, the class that starts in January will be nights and weekends. When I was first applying there, I was told that they were going to alternate with day prog...

Hello, I was just wondering what UMSL's program is like--just to compare! How many classes do you take at a time? How many students are in a typical class? How many semesters is the entire program? For an average week, how many hours do you attend...

Hello again, I just started the Upper Division Sept. 4 and so far I have been impressed with it! I only have 4 classes this semester (which is very managable I think), the teachers all seem to be very interesting, approachable (which is important to ...

Hi, I was wondering what Barnes Accelerated program is REALLY like. Right now I've been accepted for the Upper Division for the fall because I have little kids and am worried about having the time to really put into school. I decided the 2 year pro...

Thanks for the schedule. Those are my first sememster classes. That would be great to be finished in May instead of just having one class over the the last summer. I emailed someone at the school and of course haven't heard back. (I get a little f...

I am set to start the Upper Division program next week. After many schedule changes (3-4--which is a HUGE pain when you're trying to plan for childcare for 3 kids!!!) I only have class for half a day Wednesday and Friday and all day Thursday. Then ...

Do you need to have any experience or go through training to work at St. Anthony's or the Urgent Care? Thanks.

Congratulations! Do you have any prior medical experience? I'm starting at BJC College of Nursing in the fall and would like to work somewhere this summer to get a little experience, as I have NONE so far! Do you know of anyplace that will hire ...

Hello, I'm finishing up my prereqs before starting NS in the fall. I would like to work at a hospital this summer to get a little experience and knowledge before I start since I have NO medical experience whatsoever! I was online and I saw there are...

Thanks for the input! I'll check out some book websites and see what I can find! I think I'm going to need all the help I can get to make me feel a little more comfortable when I start! KJ

JBGC4, are you talking about the Upper Division Program at Barnes Jewish College of Nursing in St. Louis? If you are, that's what I'm planning to do! I already have a Bachelors in Business and could do an Accelerated pragram and be done in a year, bu...

Hi, I'm getting ready to apply for the Fall 08 start in the Upper Division program. Once you applied, how long did it take to find out you were accepted? Also, I've heard that they are pretty generous with financial aid...any opinions? Let us kno...

Hi, You might also want to check out Barnes Jewish College of Nursing. They have a fast-pased (1 year) accerated program, but they also have an Upper Division one that is a little different. The UD has more prereqs, but the program is two years inste...

WOW! That would be GREAT! Thanks for passing on the info! That is definatly something I'll have to check out! Thanks!

Hi, Does anyone know of a school that offers pathophysiology as either online or distance learning? I'm trying to find a "cheaper" way of taking it since we can take it as a prereq. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. I had read that you can get tuition assistance if you work there, but I didn't know if you could if you only worked part time. That's good news...definatly something to check into when I get to that point. Good luck to you al...

Hello, I'm a pre nursing student with hopes of getting into OB nursing someday. In another forum they were discussing what a "typical" day might be like in the different specialties, and I was wondering the same for OB. I'm sure every day is differen...
