Just a note, if you're living in the Cherokee Nation, look for classes. I lived at Tulsa at one point and the local community college (even OSU campuses) had classes on the language. Best of luck!

Just curious if anyone else is exploring this option or have any current input on this matter. This is an area of interest for me.

First to dispell a few myths on this thread. You do not need a BA/BS for all med schools. Although some schools you will, I know some DO schools that require at least 90 credits. Those who said that nursing students are wasting a seat, that is a...

such a shame. I hope she gets help!

sanrionjb How is that going? I was looking at that! Do you have time to work as well? Do you know anyone that works as well? Thanks!

Hello all! I'm back. I had been here about 9 mos ago and I was going to an accelerated BSN program in philly area, well I got a new job so I decided to stick it out and figure out if nursing was really what I wanted to do. Well I'm back and thinki...

I agree with Colleen, usually prof's are a little more understand, I was taking night classes though. I heard day classes where I was taking my pre-reqs were harder (micro, a & p)

congrats! I can't imagine when I start poking people with needles! Watch out!

Actually I also just heard of an Accelerated program being started at UMDNJ in spring 2004 or fall 2004.

Does anyone know how successful this has turned out to be? Acceptance rate, etc? Considering using this for nursing school but don't know if can afford the $20K/year on my own! Thanks!

Congrats! Did you think about stafford loans at all for school?

That is exactly what I mean Farm. Its seems pretty ambiguious if you ask me ...

Thanks, I think I'm going to apply to the drexel program and the 2 year TJU program and see where I get in, if I get in at TJU and wait list on drexel, I'll just take the TJU program. I just want to get in and get started. So depressing, I wish I w...

Thanks for the help. Yes, I think it was along the lines of the NRA. I'm guessing that I won't be able to count on that then ... I understand the program, but now they don't list the short-staffed hospitals eligible! Anyone else with info?

Well I'm actually looking to do drexel's program. I am either going there or TJU for the 2 year program. I am in the process of trying to figure out what will work financially. Whether sucking up the one year or getting a part time job and doing t...

Congrats!:biggringi and good luck on your RN!

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about how this is working? What was the application to payment ratio? Is anyone actually getting money from this? I can't afford $40k in school loans for getting my 2nd degree bsn with this amount of mo...

I agree with everyone else. I was a chem major, orgo made me switch to business. Now I'm hoping to jump back into the sciences and go for my BSN. Do not take a summer session of orgo unless you know the program first. You do'nt have to take inorg...

Well I'm looking to do the 2 year 2nd degree BSN program. I figure it will give me more exposure and time to work part time and get some experience under my belt as well. That whole 1 year program is a little overwhelming and I'm afraid that my GPA...

All's I have to say is I'm glad you went to the dean. I would have done the same thing. I can't believe this happened to you ...

I am going to have the same thing. I have a TON of money for an out of state school tuition for my economics degree, now I'm thinking of going to nursing 2nd degree program. Either 2 yrs of $40,000 or 1 year at $20,000 ... deciding what I want to d...

Ok slight dilemma. Anyone know of side effects (more emotional than physical) on paxil mixed with oxycotin? Just wondering ... could this cause moodiness and irrationality? Anyone heard of that with stronger pain meds?

well here's another wrench to throw in the mix ... I applied for a two year BSN program and I"m in AP I now, taking AP I Lab, AP II and Lab, and Micro over the summer (yeah, THAT will be fun!) Well at my current position, I Just got a semi-promotion...

but orgo is completely different from Micro, I took orgo in college, and I ended up dropping Orgo II the last day of withdrawl (I had been a chem major!) You must be insane! how was that a 15 credit orgo class? Organic is only 8 credits total ......

Thanks everyone. I would not work DURING nursing school, but would need to up to that point in order to get enough money. The more I think about it, the more that I think I might just postpone school for another year. Save up enough money and th...
