   wannabecatcher replied to lilprinzessky's topic in California

   I'm in the same boat as you lilprinzessky (getting license in CA but in school in another state)! I wish I could speed things up some way! I am hoping my school will be quick with those transcripts! Good luck to you!

7. Choosing amongst schools, post-app frenzy

   wannabecatcher replied to phosophorus's topic in General Students

   Booey, I was in your shoes not so long ago...weighing all the options of cost and location and degree. It is a tough one. For me, I knew before starting nursing school that I definitely wanted to go the midwifery track and so I applied to a few acc...

10. bored by BSN program (vs accel)?

    wannabecatcher replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    I am in a 15 month accelerated program- actually it is really 12.5 months of courses (18-19 credits a semester) minus our breaks from school. I don't feel that I could say that I would be bored in a traditional program- but that's not really what I ...

11. Is anyone in a Accelerated Nursing Program

    wannabecatcher replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    You are very welcome- I was in your shoes only 8 months ago. My text-books came with CDs that have extra NCLEX questions and some other extraneous info...I use them occasionally, and sometimes I see questions from the CD being used as test questions....

12. Danskos?

    wannabecatcher replied to maggijo's topic in General Students

    I have a pair of Quarks which are ok, not the greatest, but ok. I bought them because they fit the standards but I don't love the way they look or feel. I tried on the Danskos and couldn't deal with the fit (maybe my feet are wider than most?). Just ...

15. NYU Accelerated Program

    wannabecatcher replied to Jegra's topic in General Students

    I almost forgot- You won't have class on days that you have clinical. And, as for the BLS cert, NYU paid for us to do it the weekend before school started (right after orientation). It was good too- it only took 2.5 hours as opposed to other ones th...
