krstxn I myself was a new grad this past December and took a position within an LTAC and honestly I'm very pleased with my decision. I've learned more than I could've ever imagined. I've worked both the Med-Surg and ICU side of the LTAC floor so at...

Haha yeah the drive and traffic sucked but my sister lived in Baltimore so I was able to get by with free rent so it was worth it. As far as books and what not go I would wait. They will let you know what you need. You can actually preorder from t...

Overall I feel I got a really good nursing education in the program. I have yet to hear of someone from our class that failed the NCLEX so they definitely prepare you for that. There were some communication issues as some faculty members were new t...

nicki 2516 If you start in fall 2010 you will graduate december 2011. I don't see how it would at all be possible to complete the program in 3 semesters. There are too many classes, labs, and clinicals. Your first semester alone I think you have ...

Hi All I read through some posts and people were discussing Marymount University's 2nd degree BSN program. I am starting the program in the fall and had a question about it. I have all of my prerequisites completed and am registered following the s...

I realize it is difficult to distinguish the truth from lies in this situation. Regardless of who's telling the truth, bottom line is you can lose your license in any state at any time for any inappropriate behavior. SC is not unique in that respe...

I was a lucky new grad that just moved to the area after graduating in December and got a job. I know MANY new grads here in the Upstate area that are desperate for jobs. I'm not sure if that's the same for experienced nurses though. New grads at ...

I've never heard of the program not going through the summer. Some people inidivdually elect to not take class during the summer but as far as I know the program has always been 16 months. I started in Fall 2008 and had class that fall, spring, sum...

My GPA actually got higher after graduating from an accelerated program this past December. I had a 3.1 with my first undergrad degree. I graduated from nursing school with a 3.67. I think a lot of it had to do with the fact that I was much more i...

soon2bnurstudent congratulations on starting the program! It will definitely have you prepared for the NCLEX. I actually already took the exam about 2 weeks ago and passed! Several of my classmates have taken it as well and so far I haven't heard ...

bohoduex, I actually just graduated from MU accelerated this past december so I figured I might be able to help you a little. When I applied (for fall 2008) I believe I sent in 2 recommendations. I didn't apply to any other programs in the area. H...

it does work!!! i just found out i passed!!! CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!

I took the NCLEX yesterday morning and am pretty sure I'm going insane right now. I got shut off at 75 as well and had a TON of questions I had no idea about (meds, prioritization, etc.) I only had one med math question and a TON of select all that ...

I just graduated in December and relocated to Greenville, SC about 3 weeks ago. I absolutely love it here! I'm originally from Pittsburgh so the weather is definitely an improvement as I'm sure it will be for you over Boston weather too. I was jus...

First I just want to make it clear that in no way am I bragging in this post because I've seen so many posts on here about new grads that are struggling to get a job and my heart goes out to everyone in that position. :redbeathe I just graduated Dec....

Thank you for all of your helpful responses!

Graduating from a BSN accelerated second degree program in Virginia! WOO HOO!!! CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!! WE DID IT!!!

My mom just had her second knee done in October, had her first one in May. She gets as frustrated as the rest of you because she's still stiff and swollen, especially when she's up and moving around all day. Hang in there because I remember her say...

shaemykl09 I just took the ATI comp last Saturday and passed with an 84.7% I had actually started studying for it back in September and I went through each of the ATI subject books. I thought that was really helpful. I also took practice comp test...

I will be graduating from nursing school in December and while I can't say it has been the most pleasant duty during clinicals I certainly haven't objected. At this point in my education I am actually very excited at the prospect of cleaning someone...

I'm currently in my LAST semester of an accelerated BSN program and it certainly hasn't been a breeze but I've been proud of my accomplishments during the past 3 semesters. I graduate in December and I cannot wait to start my nursing career When I ...

Hi junior 11! I'm responding because I at one point was in your situation. And I went for the pre-pharmacy route. I had conditional acceptance to pharmacy school at the University of Pittsburgh. Their program does 2 years of general pre-reqs (like...

I'm a second-degree accelerated BSN student so my orientation might have been different than what you will or have experienced. But the biggest piece of advice I have for you and I cannot stress this enough is to remember that it is NOT as bad as th...

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I can relate to this. I'm a second-degree accelerated student so I've already had the college experience once. While this is great for most people in my class as we all know how to handle the work and school ...

thanks antonella. well first, I have a period of about 3 weeks between my summer semester and fall semester and am interested in trying to get either a short externship or shadowing experience at Greenville Memorial. Do you happen to know if anyth...
