I'm already a member of allnurses. How do i enroll? Can't find the link other than the link to join allnurses. I get a message that I am already a member. Can you send me the link?

Any advice for a NP student trying to find a job prn as a RN? I was recently laid off from a job I enjoyed. It fit perfectly with my school and clinical hours. Now I'm on unemployment. The jobs where I get offers are for much less money. It seem...

I have lots of experience in family care clinics, triage nursing, and in Tele nursing. My background also includes being a CNS in adults/geriatrics. My PMSN will be as an AGNP in primary care, pending graduation and passing my boards in May of 2015....

I just turned 49 and completed phase I of my program (ready to take NCLEX). Phase II begins where I work as a RN, but continue with my MSN. This is a 2nd degree for me. I was NOT the oldest in my class. There are grants/financial aid available ou...

Hi cdcd, I am currently in the AE MSN class now. You can either take the GRE or MAT for admission. We get more clinical hours than the BSN students in one year, so you definitely get experience. Also, once you start working as an RN to gain even more...

hi, does anyone know if schools offering accelerated programs discriminate according to age? i am 46 years old and decided to become a nurse. am i too old? will universities want me? kaystho

Hi Vicky RN, Any advice you can give me and others? I am 47 years old, and I feel like I'm going to be the oldest student in class. Thanks, Kim

Hi, I just got accepted as well for the fall of 2009. Just wondering how your year is going........I have a lot of anxiety, but I'm prepared for the program.

Hi, I also got my acceptance letter from ECU in the mail the 14th of February. I am so excited!

Hi, I'm in the same situation as you are (47 years old). My problem is getting accepted into any program. My GRE abd Mat scores are not competitive (I attribute this to my age). I graduated Magna Cum Laude, and all of my prerequisites are A's, except...

Hi, I was wondering how school is going for you. I've applied for fall admission '09, but I need to take the "TEAS" exam. Hopefully, I will get accepted. Regards, Kaystho

Thanks for your post! I was also denied, but I only had my heart set on going to one school. Now, I have many other schools to apply for the next school term. My mom asked me, "why? They need so many nurses out there. Why did you not get accept...

Hi, I'm thinking about many options: Accelerated MSN/BSN, Traditional BSN, etc. My ultimate goal is to become a FNP. Do you know if you really have to wait a year after you become an RN to apply for the MSN/FNP program? I am 46 years old, and I wo...

What do you think about the program? I am interested in applying to Accelerated programs, and WSSU is on my list. I have read on this site where WSSU has had some problems. The best thing about WSSU is that they start in January, instead of tradit...

Hi, I read your post, and I am in the same situation. What did you ever do? I hate to have to wait another semester just to find a CNA course.

Thanks for the information! I was actually considering WSSU for the accelerated program. Now, I guess I will look at the traditional BSN programs. My goal is to get my MSN!

Congratulations on your acceptance. I did not get accepted, and I was pretty upset (I did get an interview, though). My MAT was not competitive enough, and the recommendation was to take the GRE. This is a bummer since someone at ECU told me the M...

I am thinking about the FNP program. What area are you interested in? Let me know if you get your small envelope in the mail!

When I called the graduate school, I was told they would not interview everyone. I was fortunate to get a interview, but have not heard anything yet. I'm waiting for my envelope in the mail.

I may have to get an apartment as well. I will be living 1 hour and 40 minutes away.

Hi, I just got interviewed last Wednesday. I had my application in last November, but only now have heard from them. They told me it will be a few weeks before I hear anything from my interview. I am crossing my fingers!

Congratulations! I am studying for this dreaded exam. Those "SAT" words frighten me, as well as the geometry. Any advice for me?
