  1. Spring 09 Hopefuls

    MotivatedOne replied to TeeRN2Be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just a suggestion...some schools have paramedic/EMT to BSN programs, at least one school here in NC offers it. I guess that's something you could look into for maybe plan

  2. Accelerated BSN or Direct Entry?

    MotivatedOne replied to southeRNgirl185's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Nurse2bKY. We only have one Direct Entry or Alternate Entry MSN program in NC that I'm aware of. It doesn't even award you a BSN degree once you complete the pertinent courses required...

  6. I think we need a second degree student section...

    MotivatedOne replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you misunderstood the question. The reason for wanting a separate section for 2nd degree students isn't because we're ungrateful if we're accepted but because we have to go through things that...

  7. This summer fell apart... Now what?

    MotivatedOne replied to Mommyto2and2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It isn't too late to apply for nursing school? I know the deadline at most schools here is in February of the year you plan to start. A lot of schools accept students during the fall, spring, or...

  8. Nursing school and working full time

    MotivatedOne replied to js408's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree. If all goes well and you're accepted right into the program, it should only take you 2 years full-time to get your BSN once you've completed your prerequisites which should also take only...

    MotivatedOne replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. How long is it gonna take me?

    MotivatedOne replied to dolphinlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It could be the fact that it's your own blood or your child's blood that causes you to pass out. Like do you really faint or do you just become light

  11. Nursing and STD's

    MotivatedOne replied to Career Student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. accelerated program or not?

    MotivatedOne replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try both. Applying to both types of programs. They also have Direct Entry or Alternate Entry MSN programs, they're also an option. You could also try getting your ADN, then after maybe a year...

  13. ahah ! My first class results!

    MotivatedOne replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm curious...what kind of work do you do? I'm applying to a 13 month ABSN program and I plan to work as a CNA but no more than like 24 hours a week. Congratulations on your

  14. How long is it gonna take me?

    MotivatedOne replied to dolphinlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say, don't let your family nor the fact that you don't THINK you can do it discourage you from trying to do it. Once you start school your classmates will be a part of your support group. A few...

  17. Would A&P 2 help replace a low grade in A&P 1?

    MotivatedOne replied to 1lollipop's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only way I know of to grade replace a class is to replace it with a higher grade from the same class. Now if you got a passing grade of C in A&P 1 and take A&P 2 during the summer and get...

    You all may want to go to the financial aid offices at the schools you'd like to attend to see if they offer something called a Perkin's Loan. Thankfully I was able to get both the Stafford Loan and...
