Thank you so much for replying! I really think I want to do that and will just have to look into it. That was very encouraging and helpful! Good luck to you !

I am a new nursing student and have shadowed in the OR several times and love it! Would they hire a fresh RN out of school?

Maybe it is also based on the state in which you are going to school. I am in Missouri and that is what I have been told by other people. I agree that it is not about your level of education but your quality of care.

I have heard that the BSN degree is only more college credit hours. I think you basically get the same clinical experience which shouldn't make a difference. It is just a title and more schooling.

I am wondering if anyone had any feedback on Goldfarb School of Nursing through Barnes? I am struggling to get through my pre-reqs at the community colleges but am afraid I won't make it through College Algebra or Statistics. I am 43 and don't know if it is all worth it or not. I heard they just started a program at Missouri Baptist location which would be so much closer for me since I live in St. Charles. Anyone going there or have graduated from there?

Just wondering.....did you get accepted to Barnes and have you already graduated? I am just trying to get my pre-reqs done.

Just practice the math and retake the test. I had to get on websites to refresh my math skills. I believe the one I did was www.aaamath.com. It is awesome for testing yourself and explaining stuff. I passed the math portion with an 82%. I didn't have to take the English part because of my ACT score. I have literally checked out every school possible in the area and this school works the best for me. It is very far from my home in St. Charles though. That will take some getting used to.

I would try to get the transcripts there ASAP. All I know is Lora said that they review the applications in June. I am taking A&P lab this summer. Already took the lecture. I am in A&P II this Fall. I have no idea how many apps they review.

I'm sure it will help. Did you fill out all of the paperwork? They review apps in June.

I don't know if I have been accepted until June. I am really hoping that I am. I have a couple of friends that have been through the program and really liked it. Go online and fill out all of the paperwork. The sooner the better. Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

Did you get accepted? I just registered to all nurses and saw your post. I applied for Spring 2011 but will not hear anything until June

Congratulations!!!! I wish I were in your shoes! I don't start school the program until January 2012.

How do I know if this post can keep going? I am starting Nursing school in January 2012 and will have a ton of questions. I am thinking of going into med-surg.

I have applied at LSN for Spring 2012. I am nervous and excited. I see everyone's posts are older. How is everything going?

I am applying at Lutheran for Spring 2011 and 42! I guess you are graduated by now? How is everything going?
