  1. You're going to Community College?

    OlyNP2b replied to Multicollinearity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I'm so excited to see folks in the same boat as myself. I have a BA in Education from a well-known private university, and have been working on my prerequisites at my local CC. I've been...

  2. Accelerated 2nd Bachelors v. Accelerated MSN

    OlyNP2b replied to NooneFanilow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi there. I am in the same boat as you and here's what I've concluded. I've applied and been accepted into a direct-entry program, but like you, I don't want to jump into an advanced nursing role...

  3. Pre-nursing student with no idea what to do!!!

    OlyNP2b replied to Pre-nursepookie2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on your acceptance into nursing school! I think most of us know exactly how your feeling: first comes the thrill and excitement, next the financial reality sinks in. I agree with...

  4. Direct-Entry MSN/MEPN or ADN?

    OlyNP2b replied to OlyNP2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks Bree! Over the past several months I've been wading through my options and I know that I will not have an idea of a specialty until I am actually being trained and ultimately become an RN. I...

  5. Direct-Entry MSN/MEPN or ADN?

    OlyNP2b posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm a pre-nursing student ultimately seeking an advanced degree as a Nurse Practitioner. I have several options to enter into the field, so I'd like to gather the opinion of others. I have been...

  6. Pacific Lutheran University PLU BSN

    OlyNP2b replied to WANurse123's topic in Washington Nursing

    No news yet, but thanks for the head's up. At this point, I'm about 90% sure I'll get my ADN first. It's extremely affordable compared with the ELMSN program, and would give my husband and I...

  7. Direct-Entry MSN/MEPN or ADN?

    OlyNP2b replied to OlyNP2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Bree, I have not been accepted into an ADN program yet (will be notified in May). Luckily in my area, the CCs don't have waiting lists because they are based soley on a point-system (Prerequisite...

  8. Direct-Entry MSN/MEPN or ADN?

    OlyNP2b replied to OlyNP2b's topic in Post Graduate Students

    That's definitely a bonus! I also love the idea that I could still finish within the next 5 years and that I'll have more of an idea on a specialty after having the opportunity to work within a...

  9. Rn Vs Bsn

    OlyNP2b replied to hello11's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If it is financially feasible, it sounds like you really want to go for the BSN. I think you should apply for both programs when you are ready so that you can keep your options open. Don't be...

  10. Pacific Lutheran University PLU BSN

    OlyNP2b replied to WANurse123's topic in Washington Nursing

    PLU is my top choice for the ELMSN program. As far as the BSN goes, at this point, I'd rather go through an ADN program because it's a faster route to becoming an RN. Then, I can complete an RN-MSN...

  11. What would you do in my shoes? ADN or BSN?

    OlyNP2b replied to Emma&Ben's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi Emma, I'm in the exact same boat as you. The only BSN in my area would cost ~$35k, so I'm almost sure that I'll go the ADN route. I also have a bachelor's degree in another area, and as I gain...

  12. Pacific Lutheran University PLU BSN

    OlyNP2b replied to WANurse123's topic in Washington Nursing

    No problem, I have completed all prerequisite courses and have a 3.9+ GPA in

  13. Pacific Lutheran University PLU BSN

    OlyNP2b replied to WANurse123's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yep, I applied to both the ELMSN and the BSN. I figure it's good to have a backup just in case the ELMSN falls through. With such competitive programs, you've definitely gotta keep your options...

    OlyNP2b replied to WANurse123's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hey there, You are not the only one, I too have applied to PLU's ELMSN and BSN programs. I received my bachelor's from there in 2001 (Elementary Education) and their nursing programs definitely have...
