I worked as a clinic assistance or receptionist without experience. I was able to see nurses in a clinic setting, although most of those positions require you to work
MedicalDreams, I'm in the same boat as you! I feel like I'm repeating myself on here, but I just got my degree in Communications, have around a 3.0, want to go to nursing school, and don't know where...
Thanks so much for all the info! :) Right now I don't feel like I'm ready for an MSN program either. I don't have any nursing experience (besides being a clinic assistant for a few months), and don't...
Hi Tdrynelle! Can I ask you a few questions?? Now that Metro State just has a MSN program, not a BSN program, would you recommend individuals still applying there? If you had to do it again now,...

Thanks for your post, I'm glad someone's in the boat with me! I am thinking the MSN is the best bet as well. I know the prereqs vary slightly, but I have yet to complete most of them. Have you...
Hello- I am interested in the accelerated nursing program and am also wondering why people would get their BSN over MSN when the prerequisites are basically the same. Does anyone know how competative...
