I'm taking the entrance exam for DSON at the end of December. I'm guessing its the basics, but if you've taken it can you tell me a little more about it?? Passing this test (atleast 70%) and having...
Does anyone know of the Army having the same huge influx of New Grad nurses wanting to join as active duty? The Navy told me 2 years of waiting to get in, Air Force said at least 1 year, but I haven't...
I really hope you aren't implying that I am merely looking for a job. My husband is a disabled Army Vet and I am well aware that it is more than just a job as we live with the choice of him serving...
With much research, thought, and consideration I have decided to join the Air Force. I am a new grad in Ca and therefore do not have much hope of getting a job in the near future. My husband is an...
Thanks for the advice everyone! The ironic part is I have been a runner and extremely active my whole life, and now when it counts I am scared of doing a
Hi All, I am currently in a Accelerated BSN program that ends next year. I currently have a phlebotomy license that will expire in the Fall. Being a broke nursing student, I am debating whether to...
Thanks for all the replies! I think I will fork out the dough and keep the license (I think its around $50 plus 6 units of Continuing Education). I guess its sad that today I may have to worry about...
I'm starting Denver School of Nursing in April and we are relocating from California. From what we've seen so far, Craigslist is full of weirdos and not very trustworthy. Does anyone have any...
I think it depends on the schools you are applying to. Places like John's Hopkins, Yale, etc., of course those probably need a pretty high GPA. It's just like after you graduate from high school and...
I'm in the same boat. Except I already have about 30k in debt from my first degree at a state school in Ca. I'm starting a accelerated BSN in a week and have applied for financial aid which added up...
Do you think it is a necessity to own a car during nursing school? I live 2-3 miles away from my actual school in Denver, so biking/bus is ok to get there. My husband & I only have one car at the...
Am I going crazy? I just clicked on the metro nursing website and the accelerated program now states it is "17 months," starts in January, and is completed in 4 semesters?!? Have they changed their...
Hi Elizabeth, My husband & I moved last week to Denver. We had flown out and searched for housing (single family home type places). We got really lucky and found a place from Craigslist. It's a...
They told me to reply by last Friday, Jan. 23. They said "if you dont reply by this time your seat will be given to another student"....etc. Good Luck, hope you get
davwil52, Really helpful stuff and more motivation for me to go to Metro. I was at the campus today, checking it out for the first time (I'm moving from Ca). The nursing secretary said 36 people are...
This is from the Metro website. Which does surprise me, b/c usually public schools do charge for out of state, which can be really expensive. Thanks for the thought! "The estimated cost of the 2009...
I weigh my options on the grounds of eventually becoming the best nurse I can be. Is forcing a 12 month program more likely to negatively effect me when it comes down to actually working as a
Denver School of Nursing in Colorado has a 21 month BSN, you don't have to have a bach's. The great thing: all you have to do is take an entrance exam (very easy!) and fill out an application and they...
I just got into Metro for April '09 also. My problem: I've conditionally signed an agreement with Denver school of Nursing also. Now I am picking between the two. Both schools don't have that much...
Hey LuckyKellyK, DSON sent me the enrollment agreement today!! So excited and scared!! Now I am wondering how to pay for a $40,000 tuition?! Are you getting a Sallie Mae Loan or doing a student...
