i was planning on going to nursing school next june. i already have a bs in biology and i wanted to get into an accelerated bsn program. but i just found out that i may not be able to get in because i plead guilty to a disorderly persons offense here in nj. is that considered a crime and is it true that if you are convicted of shoplifting you cannot become a nurse? my charge wasn't for shoplifting it was orignally a hindering charge but it was knocked down to a disorderly persons offense. please can someone let me know asap. i really would like to know if i ruined my life over something so dumb and of course if i was able to afford a lawyer at the time they would have dismissed the charge but of course you have to be rich in order to get anything done. Thank you in advance for your help.

They don't seem to have information on these programs on this website. I have already obtained my BS in Biology and would like to get into an accelerated BS - BSN that is around a year or a little more. I am interested in schools in New Jersey (South Jersey), Philadelphia, PA, or Baltimore, MD. I already know about Drexel, UMDNJ, Johns Hopkins, and the University of Maryland. I was wondering if anyone had anymore info. on this for me or can lead me to a website that has this info. I checked out www.allnursingschools.com but they only had like one school per state. I would greatly appreciate anyone's help and thank you in advance for your help.

I have my BS in Biology and want to return to school to get my BSN thru an accelerated program. Does anyone know of any hospitals, or any others, that will pay for school in exchange for a contract to work for them after school?
