Do yourself a favor and don't get ahead of yourself. Easier said than done, I know. You need to focus your energy and attention on what's in front of you and what's immediately ahead. I wouldn't...

I already have a BA, so an accelerated BSN is an option. I'm just wondering if a $50k debt burden would be worth it. How much are TCU nurses making right out of

I don't have any student loan debt, but then again I don't want to get myself $50k in the hole if I don't have to. I've heard good things about TCU, but I'm wondering if a BSN from them is worth the...
I was going by discovernursing.com's listings. I'm sure they'd love to know about their mistake. Sales tax in DFW is pretty much the highest in the state, though it's a bit lower in SA. Your...

So's Austin, but my husband and I are going to Dallas...so I probably have some taste issues. I've visited the desert southwest and enjoyed it, but Texas is home and always will be. That's

Arizona just doesn't blow my skirt up. Doesn't mean it's a bad place...we visited Raleigh-Durham a couple of years ago. It was lovely, and the people were the nicest I'd ever met. I wouldn't want...
I was looking at TCU (Texas Christian, in Fort Worth) as a possibility, but it has more pre-reqs than TWU (Texas Women's U, in Denton). On the other hand, it has an accelerated class every year...

Thanks for the tips lex. I've decided I'm going to try for Brookhaven's course but I'm also going to do the pre-reqs for TWU's BSN program. I probably won't get them done in time to apply for 2009,...
I'm just speaking from experience. For example, UTA lists Anatomy and Physiology I & II as pre-requisites for its BSN nursing sequence but neglects to mention that biology is a pre-requisite. It...
Course materials sometimes don't show pre-requisites. Check the university's course catalog; that should have definitive answers on pre-requisites; you may find that biology is
No probs, Jules...I can see where you're coming from. The junior colleges in Dallas allow you to take A&P without bio or chem, but I think it would be a mistake to dive into microbiology or...
I would think if someone wants to skip bio and chem, they have a reason. I would guess the reason is one of the following: * Financial constraint. If you're so hard up that you're trying to find ways...
Having thumbed through a college-level A&P text, I wouldn't advise taking A&P without at least ONE biology course, and many universities won't let you take it without a semester each of bio...
