I'm finishing my prereqs and applying to several of the Atlanta Nursing Schools soon, including Emory, GSU, and KSU. Can anyone share first hand experience with KSU BSN program and the accelerated program? I am very interested in the accelerated pr...

I don't participate in the Republican/Democrat style of divisive and corrosive politics, so I ain't telling. Keeping in mind that the Republicrats use abortion, etc., as a strategy to whip their supporters into an emotional frenzy to get re-elected,...

Hi, I had signed up to take Adnormal Psych over the summer b/c one of the schools I applied to required it. I won't be going to that school however. My question for those of you who are in nursing school or recently graduated: Would you recommend ...

I just learned about nilepoc.com from another post (see link below). It's an interesting read. Does anyone know of other nursing blogs out there? thx, Mr_D CRNA grad school Blog: http://www.nilepoc.com/srnablog/blogger.html

Hi everyone, I got in! I'm starting an ASN program in August. I very excited about it. It's a two year program, I'll finish in May '06. Many of you may know that I had my mind set on an accelerated BSN program. Well things change. The schedule...

In Atlanta metro area, those wanting a BSN either need a 3.5 GPA or a lot of patience. There are 2 public schools that offer an accellerated BSN, one private school that offers a "BSN for Second Degree students". The traditional BSN programs take 3...

Great thread -- I've been debating whether to take Spanish this summer, fall, and Spanish for med professionals in next Spring. Having read this, I'm doing it. thx, Mr_D

Hi everyone I've been lurking for some time and became a member today. Let me introduce myself: I am currently a Web Technology Specialist -- and have decided for many reasons to leave the IT industry for Nursing. I'm 38 yrs old, male, married, an...

What are the career advantages of getting an MSN? Does it automatically equate to more money or flexability or training (than an BSN)? Does anyone regret not getting one while their life was set up for school? Thx, Mr_D

How about the Atlanta metro area? Anyone?

I lose more replies on this new system -- I'll try again for the third time. I am quite conflicted about this. If I want to go for an MSN, then I better do it immediately following my BSN. However, I plot it on a calandar, geez, I'll be in school t...

Thanks for your response. What do you mean by a "generic MSN"? Also -- I am 39 now, will complete my BSN by 41. If I go for a MSN, I would finish around age 43. Do older nurses have a more difficult time finding work? IYO, what age does that becom...

A brief bullet point summary of my reply THAT WAS LOST.... Great thread . . . After much discussion, my wife and I decided I will persue Nursing as a 2nd career. I am successful in the IT field. We have always had friction over the usual: money, hous...

I just wrote for the last 30 minutes a reply and this "new and improved system" lost it. First lost track that I was logged in, then lost track of my thread ( invalid thread error). I'm pissed!! :angryfire

I'm seriously considering going for my MSN immediately after completing my BSN, basically b/c my life is set up for school and would be a good time to do it. In terms of career flexibility and earning power, is one better off going the clinical route...

It's almost comical how many were having second thoughts at the altar! 8 years later and I'm still wondering. Had I to do over again -- Thinking in terms of the "right" decision or "wrong" choice creates a helluva lot anxiety! I had enough smart...

Hey Guys, Now is the time to make yourself heard. I posted another thread last night asking how this new overtime rules bill would affect nurses. There is still some research to do on the actual bill, however preliminary research confirms this bill...

I actually thought about a business that offered "bad credit services" so that one's credit report was more/less guaranteed useless!! When YOU needed credit, you'd log via the internet and "correct" your credit record, then "maul" it again a few day...

I appreciate your response -- my last two posts address most of it. I think Lizz would be in a more powerful place if she shared more. In dealing with this stuff, there's no acknowlegement (that I recall) of her being a novice at this at any time....

I call as I see it. I witnessed how you related to Melanie, in summary, a condescending know-it-all manner. I'd said many times that I'm not about protecting the guilty. I happy you won your cases. I haven't heard you say anything about protecting...

Ok -- I see it's confusing. I don't see it as two completely different things. The credit system, the collection process, ID theft, the judiciary are interwined -- and fail more than they should. If the system (as a whole) can be manipulated and ...

OK I got it. You are in business now and really don't really care how the process works as long it serves your needs. Your position is beginning to make more sense. Melanie, save your breath. There's no use in this conversation. Lizz, as far as your...

It's a tough question and I'm about to get in trouble with my significant other if I don't get some things done soon, so must be brief. I generally support a generous amortization of huge debt so that people can pay it off -- even if it's apparent t...

In cases of Identity Theft, yes, there are victims. I used the word entrapped b/c there are so few rights available to vindicate one-self. You are guilty till you prove yourself innocent. And it takes a LOT of effort. Interesting philosophical q...

The moral superiority ego is coming out full force now. RNnTraining doesn't owe anyone here a detailed explanation of her court case. And she's been incredibly open about her situation -- and the fact that she's not answering YOUR questions does not...
