  1. I'm Back....

    2bNurseNik replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I want the BSN for sure. I would like to get in Barnes for Spring 2009 because they offer weekend/evening every Spring. They require a 2.75 and if everything goes the way I plan, I will have...

    2bNurseNik replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

  3. I'm Back....

    2bNurseNik replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

    Paper, I saw a post somewhere on here but I forgot where. It stated that clinicals were 2x per week and you are in class like 4 days a week including labs. I think the clinical times were like from 7...

    Have you looked into Barnes Jewish College? They now offer a weekend/evening BSN program. I think they offer it every Spring so you may have a good chance to get in Spring 08. They do not require...

  7. Stupid question...

    2bNurseNik replied to liljsmom02's topic in General Nursing

    I know, its confusing, huh? On the menu bar, about 2" down on the page, you would see "Office, Help, Upgrade Membership" etc. Click on Office then a box will come up that says private messages....

  8. Maryville's WEC program

    2bNurseNik posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are there any Maryville students or graduates out there? I plan to start Fall 2008 (seems like such a long time away). I heard it was kind of a hard, but a really good school. And speaking of...

  11. Chamberlain

    2bNurseNik replied to lindseylou345's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It wasn't the problem with Chamberlain. I just started my current job in October '06 and I really love it here. I have plenty of opportunities for advancement. I was stressed out trying to find out...

    2bNurseNik replied to lindseylou345's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The TEAS as VERY EASY. Calculators are not allowed. Takes about 3 hours but it won't take that long. The hardest portion, to me, was the science section. They only require like a 50% to be...

  13. Not sure which route to take!

    2bNurseNik posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'll try to make this short but I really need some advice. I really want to be a nurse. Possibly won't get into a BSN program until 2009. It's a weekend/evening program. Can possibly get into a...

  14. Not sure which route to take!

    2bNurseNik replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks to both of you for your responses. Maybe something combining the two would be better but, I don't know what's out there. I think it would really interesting working for JHCAO (if that's the...

    2bNurseNik replied to mrsdylan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am not a nurse yet but I know plenty of nurses with an associates who have no problem getting a job or passing the NCLEX. The BSN prepares you for management type positions and if you plan to...

  16. How can we prepare for nursing school?

    2bNurseNik replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2bNurseNik posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    to Nursing School and turned it down and why? Would you attend a school that only has a 70% pass rate? I'm a little hesitant on a school that I've been accepted to but I really do wanna just get it...

  19. Schools and accreditations

    2bNurseNik replied to moonbeam06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. How many got accepted.....

    2bNurseNik replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, you're right. It is a private school also. And yes, the 70% was for the NCLEX in 2006; in 2005, the pass rate was 47% (or something like that). I could have dealt with one or the other (pass...

  24. School Accreditation: Important?
