    anurseatlast replied to missdixie023's topic in General Students

    anurseatlast replied to damaranicole's topic in General Students

    I did a 14m accelerated program. I was a non-traditional student. I was 51 when I graduated. I loved it! It is intense but you learn so much every week. I was very glad I did it - I think I would have...

  6. Dose work + accelerated BSN program= GPA Suicide?

    anurseatlast replied to cna to crna2b's topic in General Nursing

    Can you work and do an accelerated program? Yes, but it is not easy. Being in pool will help a lot because there is NO flexibility in accelerated programs. They expect it to be your life - they will...

    anurseatlast replied to vccorscc's topic in General Students

    anurseatlast replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If you don't already know medical terminology, studying that (even on your own - you don't have to take a class) will help when you start nursing school - one less thing you have to learn then and...

  9. just starting toward nursing a few desperate questions.

    anurseatlast replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Students

    Go for it! You will always wonder if you don't try. Can you do it? I don't know and neither does anyone else until you try. You are older and understand more about your learning challenges. That is...

  12. Is there anyone who thinks school is not that bad?

    anurseatlast replied to 2bnurseTV's topic in General Students

  14. Methodist or Nebraksa Medical Center Accelerated BSN Jan 2011

    anurseatlast replied to laurenz's topic in General Nursing

    I started in 2006 (graduated in 2007) and the ACE program was relatively new at the time so I don't know how it might have changed. I had a very high GPA (I was one of two that had an associates...

  15. Taking the NCLEX-RN in a couple of days....Nervous!!! Any Advice???

    anurseatlast replied to GodblesspedsGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think the practice questions help a lot. The NCLEX questions will be written in a similar way. Most nursing school write their test questions that way too to prepare you for the exam. The day...

  16. Help!!! Took the NCLEX yesterday morning!

    anurseatlast replied to xtina8229's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most people who only get 75 questions pass. The test is computer adaptive which means it gives you a harder question every time you answer one right. You will only get about 50 % right not matter how...

  17. Creighton vs, Clarkson vs. Methodist

    anurseatlast replied to mrtaylr's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Methodist and thought it was a great program - tough but really prepares you. Most of their grads pass boards the first time. The vast majority of the faculty really care about helping you...

  18. Has anyone taken Stats at MCC?

    anurseatlast replied to Anxious In NE's topic in General Nursing

    I think it depends on the person which mode is better. I took it as an on-site class. Personally, I wished I had taken it online - I didn't really think class was helpful but I am not an auditory...

    anurseatlast replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    anurseatlast replied to bell47's topic in General Students
