Really? Most of the programs that I have seen you only get your master's. There are many programs that seemed to be designed for people without a bachelor's to MSN and some of them offer both. I do see some master's programs that require a BSN, but m...

I never bring my books to class either, and all most all the information I need for clinicals is now on my iphone in the Nursing Central ap!

Wow! I can't believe how prophetic the posts on this thread turned out to be! I just took my final exam in the Quincy College Evening program for 3rd semester and it was brutal! We lost so many talented and SMART people with this test. I hope the fin...

I find my Nursing classes so frustrating because we are not allowed to keep our scored test but only look at it briefly. We are not even allowed to make notes to ourselves on the questions that we missed. I think this is crazy as the test is a great ...

There is no excuse because making exams is part of her job. You can reuse questions, just not the same test every semester. How hard is it to mix em up? And use a test bank if you want. My professors questions are a lot harder than the NCLEX, so I wo...

Sorry. Not all questions in all subjects have to be knowledge based or multiple choice. If you had to grade essays, you would be begging to dream up new questions, or use a test bank. I just don't see why changing the variety and order of your test...

My biggest problem I guess is the whole nursing school setup. They are teaching for their nursing accreditation, and not the students education. I am in my 3rd semester (pulling a B+) so far, but 22 out of 40 students are currently failing. I know mo...

I still think it is a cop out. Just make up enough questions and make different tests. And for those that complain it is too much work, perhaps teaching isn't your calling. Now with powerpoints and scantrons you don't even have to write on the board ...

I have taken my share of multiple choice tests for my undergraduate degree as well as graduate and all of my classes allowed me to keep my tests. Why should Nursing classes be any different than any other subject.

Well I guess my school is not alone in not letting us have the tests. I think it is crazy considering what I pay for nursing school that they can't just make different test for each class. I don't see why nursing instructors should get off making new...

Thanks for your fast replies! I am graduating next year from a traditional Associates Degree program, and was looking at EC to further my education and did not want to have any troubles. I have my BA in Psych and want to get a BA or MA as soon after ...

What if you are an associate RN and decide to go to Excelsior for a BA or MA? Will California accept you then?

I am thinking of going straight on after graduation. Perhaps Drexal or Loyola.

If you decide to go the nursing route I can recommend Quincy College. I have a bachelor's in psych and needed a part time evening program. There were no evening bachelor's RN programs that I could find in MA which really sucked. I am just finishing...

I am so upset that my new Nursing book explains how to do TT, and earlier tries to stress that rationales should be evidence based. No one has ever demonstrated that we have energy fields. Emily Rosa has shown that the so called "experts" in TT canno...

I don't think Simmons undergraduate program is open to men and I can't find anything on their website about a part time undergraduate program. I also need to have clinicals in the afternoon/evening. From my understanding, Quincy College has one of th...

Well, I am going to Quincy College's part time program in January 2009. They accepted most of my previous work, so it is going to be a lot cheaper than Laboure. I really was tempted to go to Laboure, but not having a guarantee that I could start my ...

Well I decided to go to Quincy college instead. They will take most of my credits from my previous degree. I will start the Nursing program a little later than Laboure (January 2009), but I will save almost 10 thousand dollars. I really liked the adm...

Well I learned today that I have been accepted to Laboure College for Nursing. I just don’t know if I should go there or not. According to admissions at the college I can start my actual nursing courses in September of 2008. In the meantime I have to...

Well, I think I am leaning to Quincy now. I will get out sooner from Laboure, but Quincy said they will accept the gen eds that I plan to take online at another college. This means I won't really have to go to Quincy until the Nursing courses start i...

Wow! Thanks for the wealth of information! I had thought about going the LPN route part-time evening, but when I went to admissions they convinced me that I should just apply in October for the January 2009 part-time evening RN program. I guess I am ...

Do all the part-time clinicals start at 2:30? I am looking into the program but can probably only swing evenings and weekends.

I talked to admissions today, and they pretty much assured me that when you get your gen eds done you will move up the list. I am hoping this happens for you. I am also applying to Quincy College, but found I won't be able to start career courses ti...

Well, it does sound that she isn't that great a teacher. There is no such thing as a dumb question. If you ask her for help she should either help or point you in the right direction to get it from someone else. I was told today at an information ses...

Yikes, that doesn't sound very good. They used to have a very good reputation. I still think it is the one I will end up at, they all have horror stories, but I think I can get started there faster. I have had my share of horrible teachers in the pas...
