  1. BA and RN looking for cheap Bsn

    mmm333 replied to ranxerox's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah it doesn't look like it gets any cheaper than that in the United States. Which begs the question, are there any BSN completion programs (given in English) overseas? If you already have your RN...

  2. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Tough question, because it really depends on the school. There are good and bad community college programs just like there are good and bad BSN programs. The good thing is that the BRNs basically make...

  3. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all I think your post got cut off but I think you said you are an RN already with a non-nursing BA/Masters. Sure, it's possible to do RN>MSN if you want to put yourself through it at...

  4. BA to ADN to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    each msn program is different, but as an example, this faq from san jose state university explains that msn applicants with rn lic.+ ba only have to take several courses (not have a bsn) in order to...

  5. BA to ADN to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to sholmsen's topic in General Students

    First of all, there is a big difference between the following: 1) Entry MSN (non-nurses with no license who want to enter nursing and get their MSN all at once) 2) RN>MSN (licensed nurses who have...

  6. BA to MSN?

    mmm333 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are (or will soon be) what many of us are now calling ourselves- an RN who happens to have a BA. Technically you could be a BARN or an RNBA (if you were an RN the got your BA). In any case, we...

  7. Leave BA degree off my resume?

    mmm333 replied to Sensoria17's topic in General Nursing

    The short reply: Yes. BARNs should list their Bachelor's degrees. Magnet status and hospital goals: Hospitals and nursing organizations that aspire to "magnet" status strive to sow numbers that...

  8. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    mmm333 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks, good insight right from the horse's

  9. Quick Tip for ANYONE considering nursing in the military

    mmm333 replied to carolinapooh's topic in Government, Military

    I couldn't have said it better myself. There is generally no such thing as an enlisted military RN. You would be a "Hospital Corpsman who happens to have a civilian RN qualification". This is...

  10. Army Reserve Nursing

    mmm333 replied to dfdsue's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Heather/ MustangGirl, I'm a prior enlisted Navy SWCC with 6active/2reserve under my belt. Most of that time was spent in Europe and the Mideast. I got out to attend college in other disciplines,...

    mmm333 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes Stevie Boy, viva la

  12. BA and RN looking for cheap Bsn

    mmm333 replied to ranxerox's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Rob. I'm a Berkeley BA (double major) in an ADN RN program and planning to go the RN>MSN route. All of the military/federal programs are linked to the traditional BSN way of doing things which...

  13. What is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice?

    mmm333 replied to DNAP2b's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    By 2015 even the entry-level RN is going to need to fathom the amazing plethora of new drugs, genetic therapies, and new medicine that are now just emerging. I can understand why they are putting...

  14. What is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice?

    mmm333 replied to DNAP2b's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's hard to believe that this discussion is even taking place. I'm assuming that most people here have been to college or university and understand that many of their professors have doctorates in...

  15. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    mmm333 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I tend to cherish truth over having to hear things discussed that make me feel uncomfortable or inflame my own feelings of persecution. Whether you hate the idea of quotas or champion the idea, I...

  16. Navy versus civilian nursing- pros and cons

    mmm333 replied to sdcalichan's topic in Government, Military

    Dan, I am a prior enlisted (SW/SWCC) (who was fortunate enough to have spent two years in La Maddalena before it closed). I got out and earned my BA degree (two actually), then worked until the...

  17. ADN then MSN, or just go straight for MSN?

    mmm333 replied to kaya767's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, that's true. If you do an ADN, you should definitely plan on doing a BSN or

  18. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    mmm333 replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I've heard that it basically depends on the state you are in, but it's rare to have male quotas in admissions. This is just a general sense. I had straight A's in prereqs, (and a B.A. from a...

  19. ADN then MSN, or just go straight for MSN?

    mmm333 replied to kaya767's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am a college graduate (BA), currently in an ADN (A.S.) program. This is mainly because I got into the first program I applied for, one that only required one chem course as a prereq. So I am a...

  20. Ben Stiller as Gaylord Fokker

    mmm333 replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    That reminds me of another negative portrayal in entertainment... I can remember watching Grey's Anatomy with my wife, way before I began the transition to nursing. There were several times where the...
