Have you or anyone you know graduated from UTA's online DNP? Looking for insights on the rigor, academic support, and learning platform they utilize. Or, have you encountered an exceptional distance program? I am a practicing NP in Texas and will be...

Hello ladies and gents, Yesterday I found out that I have been accepted into the Fall 2008 ADN program at SPSCC in Olympia! :w00t:I'd been anxiously awaiting a response from the school since I recently turned down the ELMSN and MEPN programs at PLU a...

Posted about the ABSN a few days ago - I think its awesome.. but should add that it is for 2nd degree students... students need to have BS/BA prior to starting the ABSN - yes a bit pricey!

Looks great!

Hey J450n, Both UW and WSU allow for this option, I haven't really looked into any other programs. I know of a person who received their ADN and is now working on their Master's through UW. She did not have to take any additional classes, she just ...

Carmelisa, A good place to look for a list of programs by type is: http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/nurse_ed/nep_index.htm With a previous bachelors you can look at the bachelors category for "BSN or accelerated BSN for those with previous non-nurs...

Hi JuJu_Bean, After much much thought and consideration I decided to earn an ADN through SPSCC down here in Olympia. So how do you like PLU's program so far? Congrats on completion of your first quarter, I look forward to hearing about your future ...

Hi Josh, If you plan on becoming a physician, I do not think earning a BSN is the way to go. Like previous posters have stated, the science prerequisite classes for med school are much more in depth and would not be satisfied with a nursing degree. ...

Hi there, I'm in the same boat as you. I have a BA in Education and will begin an ADN program next month, so here's some info I've obtained over the past 1.5 years. First, here is a link to a document that contains all of the approved nursing progr...

Hi there, Check out there website at: http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/programs/nurs/rnbsn.html. If you click on the link for RN to BSN admission criteria, it will pull up a PDF file with all of the classes you'll need. I had contacted the school of n...

Hi Molly, I, too have a BA in Education, and will be starting an Associate's RN program this Fall. After having taught for a year, I felt burned out and just couldn't imagine working within the profession for 30+ years so I decided to join the Army....

Bree124, No, you are not crazy. Over the past six months I've been pondering the same: I was accepted to two direct-entry master's programs and one ADN and finally decided to get the Associates. I'm very happy with my decision because although it...

Hi there, First off, welcome to Washington! I'm a pre-nursing student, but another hospital near Dupont is Madigan Army Medical Center at Fort Lewis. If you go south about 10-15 miles into Olympia, there is also Providence St. Peter Hospital and Ca...

I've taken all of my prereqs at SPSCC and will be attending the first year of the program. I just finished my CNA class so I'm going to try to work at least part time as an aide until school starts in September. I'll definitely look at working as a...

Hi Nurselacey, Congrats on next month's graduation! What did you think about SPSCC's program? Were the clinicals adequate? Any tips for a newbie? Thanks!

Yes, I was accepted to both schools and initially I was planning on going the direct-entry MSN route. But after much thought and consideration, I decided that the ADN would be a much better option for me at this time. If I choose to receive my MSN ...

LoriS, I'm feeling your pain. I've been accepted into 2 entry-level MSN programs and am still waiting to hear about my truly local (1.5 miles away) ADN program. I've been debating what to do because I know that eventually I'd like to be an advanced...

Downtown Tacoma varies. It looks like you're close to the water, so if my memory serves me right, there are some trails there you can walk during the day. Downtown has been undergoing a lot of construction over the years in order to provide a more ...

I'd been making contact with the school of nursing for the past 3 months with the intent of having the opportunity to discuss the program with a graduate or current student of the program. After talking to the program coordinator I found out this is...

For my Stats class, I purchased a used TI-83 Plus (Yep, a graphing calculator) from ebay for $40. It was recommended by the instructor and served me well in the class due to its intuitive styling. My course textbook even had sections where it taugh...

Hi MoyCoy and welcome to AllNurses.com! I am a pre-nursing student in the Olympia area, but I can tell you that there are plenty of opportunities for CNAs in my area. I will be taking my CNA course through a nursing home next month and therefore be...

Hi JuJu_Bean, First off, congratulations!!! :smiley_aa I'm in the same boat as you... recently found out I was accepted into PLU's program, but have had zero success in being able to find any current students or alumni with whom I can discuss the pr...

congratulations juju_bean! :ancong!: that's awesome news, i'm sure it's a huge relief to finally have that acceptance in hand. now my waiting by the mailbox begins...

Hi JuJu_Bean, Yep, I got the same email as well. I was really hoping to have their decision in my hands by now. This year they were supposed to begin interviews for ELMSN applicants, but I guess they weren't yet prepared to do so. I know intervie...

Hi Nosmas, :hrns&wlcm: Welcome to the forum, it is a wonderful resource! I do not know your exact situation, so I can only make generalizations as far as your course of action. If you have a low undergrad GPA, I think you can still make up for ...
