Hi! Is anyone here either currently enrolled in CSU's traditional BSN program or going to be enrolled soon? Please share your experiences and advice for me. I am planning on getting into the Jan 2010 program. Thanks for the info!

Hi. I was wondering if anyone is in the regular BSN program at UW-Oshkosh and if you can share your experiences in it w/ me? Thanks. I am an out of state student and will probably be transferring in. I have almost all of the pre-nursing classes d...

Hey Andrew! Wlecome to the site! I am just curious what goes on in a PACU? I am a pre-nursing student and so I am not really up on all of the many units... Thanks in advance. :)

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately I will not be attending UW-Oshkosh as I have decided to stay in Colorado for now. But everything happens for a reason. And I am glad to hear that I would have made a great choice. Good luck in your studie...

Ok, thanks for your input.

Tom, Ok. So do you only have your ADN or did you go back and get your BSN? Is that the college thats referred to as MATC on here? My wife wants to move back to WI and so I am looking at UW-Oshkosh. I hear that the UW systems is a very good school...

Hey Tom! Welcome to the boards. I had a question: Where did you go to nursing school at? My wife is from Wisconsin although we live in CO now... She wants to move back real bad. She's from Minocqua.

I agree with you. My thoughts weren't meant to apply to everyone. Merely, those who were able to move and/or were complaining about the state of abudance of nurses in their area... If you can't move and your in an area w/ a glut well then thats ju...

I would like to add my 2 cents here. I am not a nurse on a student and not into my nursing program yet... but nonetheless I have noticed on here the talk of many people saying 'well where I work there are 10 million nurses and no jobs' or 'we need p...

Well I have about half of mine done. I have several left but I'm trying to get them done this semester so that I can apply for Spring of 2010... LOL And so all I will have after this semester should be A&P 2 and Micro... It will be a hard seme...

I have been away from these boards for a while. And just came back. The problem I have with your post Valerie is that I honestly believe that it really depends on your program and where you do your clinicals at.

I'm just wondering if there are any one eyed nurses on this board? I've seen some who mention being visually handicapped. But I was just wondering if there are any who are actually missing sight completely or partially in one eye? And did this aff...

Well after some creative schedule changes my current schedule looks like this: A&P I w/ lab Hist 103 (1800 and on or something..) lol and I'm retaking Eng Comp I (I got a C in it and so far I have taken half of my pre-reqs and only have 2 C's but...

Mary, Welcome! It sounds like you have an interesting plate full coming up. why are you taking a nurses aid class and Pharm Tech classes? I didn't think that the CNA class was req'd at PPCC for their RN program? I just graduated with an AAS in Ne...

Anyone here taking Chem 101 (intro to chem/chem 1) over the summer? I was thinking about doing it but don't need to. I will be taking 3 other 3 credit hour courses along w/ this 4 credit hour course. I was looking for peoples opinions on this one....

Interesting... I'll think about doing that on mine...

Thanks for your comments! I too was thinking about taking it in the Spring w/ A&P 2 but I also thought that it would be too much and I need it for my GPA... It will be hard but definitely doable! But sadly it won't be my only class... I'm takin...

I second this! :nuke:

Thanks for your input. I am still thinking about taking it over the summer because I'm still planning on working while I finish up my pre-reqs and I don't want to work and take A&P 2 and Chem at the same time... For those that don't know (which...

Do you have to work? Many programs ABSN included advise students strongly NOT to work if you don't have to while in school. And while yes it's doable IMO it just adds that much more time constraints to your studying and/or learning time b/c you've ...

I agree that it probably wouldn't have worked for me to take it in 6 weeks either. And I know that taking it over ten weeks or whatever the summer is, is going to be challenging and require a lot of studying/memorization but I think that it can be d...

Yay! Hopefully more people will take it or chime in with tips on how to succeed in it over the summer... Also, as an update I am dropping on of my classes over the summer so I will just be taking Chem 101 and two other 3 credit hour classes. Yes ...

Thanks for your input. I am planning on dropping one of my classes over the summer. So that will leave me with two and chem. And my chem is several years old... I'm still deciding whether or not to take. But I think that I am going to take it be...

I for one think that this is wayyy to many credits to be taking... My count was 17 credit hours? That is a lot. Especially considering that you have two hard science classes at the same time... Well I've never taken organic chem but I've heard that...

I will be taking A& P 1 w/ lab in the Fall plus French 1. I only have 7 classes left before I apply to my BSN program. And I should be getting in, in the spring of 2010... It seems like so long away... But I know that it's not! I can't wait ...
