  1. ON-line NP programs

    83studentnurse replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Usually, you do pay out-of-state tuition. I think I heard that NEbraska Methodist University charges in-state for the online program, but I've never heard of that anywhere else. Some programs offer...

  2. ON-line NP programs

    83studentnurse replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, also Gonzaga University, but they require several campus visits during 600-level coursework. I can't do it with the price of a plane ticket these days!

  3. ON-line NP programs

    83studentnurse replied to NHRNmomof3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The online NP programs I'm familiar with are: St. Louis, Stony Brook, Seton Hall, Ball State and Liberty University (only acute care and community health). However, I've limited my search to programs...

  4. Accelerated Nursing Program @ Stony Brook Question :)

    83studentnurse replied to ifoundnemo's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm not sure my experience would help you, but I was accepted with a 3.96 GPA and a 4.0 in the prereqs. The reason I think grades may be important for this program is that you do over 60 credits in 3...

  5. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually, several professions have grandfathered in people. My mother got her BA in speech therapy -- her license was good after they changed the requirement to a Master's. HealthyRN -- I...

  6. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Nursing seems to be one of the few professions that doesn't recognize skills well, but seems to have some tunnel vision on the DEGREE. For example, you can get a business degree and go into a TON of...

  7. BS w/RN vs BSN vs BA w/ BSN

    83studentnurse replied to SusanJean's topic in Nursing Career

    Makeup Nurse, I don't know about CRNA, but I do know the requirements are often different than for the other MSN options. I'd make inquiries at all the local schools -- that's what I've done to find...

  8. BS w/RN vs BSN vs BA w/ BSN

    83studentnurse replied to SusanJean's topic in Nursing Career

    Susan Jean, If you have a BS or BA with an RN, you definitely CAN become an NP (I don't know about your local programs, but I know of several online master's that accept BS/BA +RN students). You could...

  9. Already Have a BA, do I need to get a BSN?

    83studentnurse replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in General Nursing

    SMP, I see you're from NJ. I can tell you right off the bat that A LOT of colleges here allow BA + RN students to go into the master's (usually, you take a 6-9 credit "bridge," but none of them...

  10. RN seeking FNP, have BA in SLP and drive a BMW. HA!

    83studentnurse replied to jaltman's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't know about where you live, but in NJ it seems MOST of the MSN programs will accept RNs with bachelor's degrees in fields other than nursing. You usually have to take 6-9 extra credits to...

  11. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yeah, I understand. I wish there had been a Master's-Entry program near me when I was applying (the first one is just opening later this year). A lot of people still find there aren't ABSN/Master's...

  12. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sure, a diploma or ADN with a bachelor's degree in another field could get an MSN, but I don't think that's what emtb2rn was saying. Shouldn't an RN who's completed a four-year liberal arts...

  13. Online MSN?

    83studentnurse replied to CRNAsoon's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Hi Otessa, I think you're right. It happens that I've taken research/stats and also a bunch of science courses (everything from general, organic and biological chemistry to college physics to micro,...

  14. Online MSN?

    83studentnurse replied to CRNAsoon's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks, BigBadInstructor! I checked the program out -- I love that they accept non-nursing bachelor's degree-prepared students! It seems very heavy on the education curriculum and light on the...

  15. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Hi tweety, I actually just meant that, down the road, I think past experience should be taken into consideration more than perceive it is currently. But you're right, a graduate nurse is a graduate...

  16. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Actually, I think there's one thing often missing from many of the ADN v. BSN discussions -- many of us are now going into nursing after getting bachelor's degrees in other fields (some, like me, have...

  17. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    83studentnurse replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know there's been a proposal to require a BSN in 10 years for NJ nurses. However, it hasn't been picked up by anyone with actual legislative power and anyone even enrolled in an ADN/diploma program...

  18. To Rn or BSN?? That is the question.

    83studentnurse replied to Renae14's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm so glad I found this thread! I am in exactly the same situation -- I have a BA in communication/french and I'm going back for nursing. I have been accepted to an accel. BSN program and a...

  19. Should I get an ADN or BSN

    83studentnurse replied to halo9109's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Most hospitals will pay some (the amount varies. but you can call the HR department at local hospitals to get an idea) for you to further your education. You can actually get your ADN to be an RN,...

  20. Online MSN?

    83studentnurse replied to CRNAsoon's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    From what I can tell about Walden, I'd be in the same boat as simple ADN nurses (have to take certain gen ed requirements, which I satisfied in my BA, but then my master's would be 65 credits instead...

  21. Most RN's first borns?

    83studentnurse replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    First born here. No alcoholism, but I definitely took the caregiver role in my family as a

  22. Online MSN?

    83studentnurse replied to CRNAsoon's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm very interested in getting my MSN (and probably need to do it online). Does anyone have experience with online MSN programs that accept RNs with a non-nursing bachelor's

  23. UMDNJ Fall 08, FDU Fall 08,SHU fall 08, NJCU Fall 08

    83studentnurse replied to ggabri07's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hi belle, I PMed you before, but all of the sudden I can't any longer-- any chance you could PM me? I'm making my decision any day now, so I'd love to get your perspective on those last few...

  24. Help! UMDNJ ABSN and new administration

    83studentnurse posted a topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hello: I need some help from students in UMDNJ's accelerated BSN program -- especially those who currently in the program, under the new administration (I imagine students' experiences today would be...

  25. Help! UMDNJ ABSN and new administration

    Hi -- anyone able to offer any thoughts?
