Mr BSN

University of Phoenix Grand Canyon Medical University of South Carolina Those programs have formal letters of agreement to accept Platt grads, MUSC offers a 95% online NP, you travel there one week per semester. If your 'whole reason for going into n...

Yes, a Platt degree is acceptable to the military, some of my classmates looked into taking a commission when they graduated.

Go meet with the financial aid people. Short answer is "yes, you can make payments" but the terms are pretty specific.

It's much easier to buy from earlier classes than you would think, you'll run into them regularly. Regarding networking, your class size is small enough that emails are the easiest way to communicate. Good luck in your nursing career, and enjoy your ...

Askingnurse, you seem to have received a great deal of bad information and you're obviously trying to find answers. Good for you. I am, however, a fulltime nursing student and have spent more time than I care to on this message board. Please feel fre...

Dear askingnurse: Are you interested in obtaining a BSN or an ADN? Either will permit you to take the national licensing exam and enter the nursing profession, but one is a baccalaurate degree preparing you for graduate study if you wish, the other i...

Wow, if I could somehow thank you twice I certainly would! Great post, and I look forward to reading more of your insight.

I'm afraid that I cannot be of help, as I've gone through the program on loans or scholarships. I suspect that you could get an answer from someone in the office.

I know a bit about the subject, although that's not where I'm heading. My wife works as an Industrial Hygenist, which overlaps a bit with OHN. I also have a close relative who works as an Occupational Health physician for a major auto manufacturer (w...

Thank you for your input Silver_Girl, I hope to emulate your experience in a few months. I (and perhaps other readers) would be interested in hearing more about what drove you to ICU, and what you wish you had known before walking through that door f...

My apologies, I misspoke in my last post! Platt is working on an agreement with UCSF (and others), and currently has articulation agreements with University of Phoenix and Grand Canyon (both regionally accredited universities offering in-residence an...

A few points: Wildchipmunk raises good issues, but I'd like to make a small correction to this item: Another thing to consider is that the credits at Platt are non-transferable. This is because they created their program with a different time line t...

ColoradoGrl: First of all, this is a question best answered by someone in financial aid. I can tell you a bit about my situation but it will probably not be the same as yours. You pay as you go. The program lasts about 36 months, divided into four ac...

Yep, still here!

Hello again Lucy! I wanted to post a quick update, because I found a school that does have a formal EMT-P to BSN program. It is not, however, in the Denver area, it's in Pueblo (about 100 miles to the south of Denver). The school is Colorado State Un...

I would appreciate that. As I don't yet have 15 posts, you may not be able to PM me. If that doesn't work, would you mind dropping me an email to springsjc (at) excite (dot) com? Sorry to hear things didn't work out for you to join. Are you working ...

Hi Natef26, has your unit been inaugurated yet? I'm a former 302nd Reservist now in school and would love to sign back on when I graduate.

i have a question for mister. nlnac (national league of nursing accrediting committee). accreditation of the school is longstanding through the accsct (accrediting commission of career schools & colleges of technology). accsct, 2101 wilson blvd.,...

Many of the posts in this thread have raised interesting, important questions about Platt that any prospective student should consider carefully before making a decision. I object, however, to what appears to be a deliberate campaign of misinformatio...

I'm a recovering techie (10+ years) now in my junior year of a nursing program in CO. I considered UNM at one point when it became apparent that I was likely to be laid-off. I survived that scare but when the nursing bug bit I took the next severance...

I enjoyed my peds rotation but haven't done high acuity rotations yet. I would certainly consider PICU/NICU if the rotation is a positive one. My greatest frustration during my Peds rotation was trying to educate parents who simply couldn't be bother...

@MurseBobby 36yo Junior in a BSN program in CO. Looking forward to the last year and then start paying off these loans! All of my science preparation has been very helpful but the single most valuable thing for me has been learning how to take tests ...

Hi Lucy, I am also not aware of any Paramedic-RN programs in the state, however you may be awarded some transfer credit from your school based on the classes you have taken already. There are a number of good schools in Denver. My school, Platt is a ...

My wife has a '96 2WD RAV with over 90,000 miles on it; she commutes 20+ miles daily in rain, snow, sleet...you get the picture. She's never had any trouble getting around. On the exceptionally rare days (1-2 in the past few years) that she doesn't f...

Hi Michelle! I can't speak for the college in OK, but I can tell you that it is not related to Platt College in Aurora, CO. I'm a student at the Aurora campus and I've enjoyed my time here. I know that we just graduated our first class of BSN's and t...
