Hi guys, I'm hoping you could share your experience with me. I’m interested in an accelerated nursing program (I have a bachelors in biology) but I’m worried about finances. I already have about 50K in debt from undergrad and QU seems expensive. Any...

Congrats to you all! I'm curious what you guys all got on your TEAS? And do you know if there is a waiting list? I'm getting really anxious because I haven't heard anything yet, and I thought I did pretty well... Hopefully I'll find out soon and see ...

when did you find out you got into BHSN?

I took the exam on saturday and I checked the following week on the ATIT website and the scores were up. Do you know the stats on acceptance rates, etc.? I've been accepted to other schools but BHSN is my top choice, so I'm hoping we'll find out soon...

I'm in the exact same boat! good luck!

I took the teas on the 7th at BHSN! Do they require above an 80%?

It is nice to hear other peoples' backgrounds and interests. I'm still an undergrad completing a major in molecular cell biology. I thought I wanted to do research and realized I hate being in the lab and I really need a career working with people. I...

is the essay supposed to be a fluid 2 page essay or are we supposed to write 6 small essays?

Thanks for the great info! My situation is a little different, and although I love the community college setting, I ideally want to have an RN in 1 year... I've already gotten my associates at Manchester community and will have my B.S. in Biology fro...

welcome to the forum! I'm glad there's another user sharing in my GRE frustrations. My gpa isn't the greatest and I'm hoping this will be a booster too. I'm trying to figure out the best way to study. It's stressing me out while I'm taking classes.....

Hi! I stumbled across this post and had a few questions. -Bridgeport Hospital offers a certificate program. With this degree would it be possible to eventually get your APRN if you have a B.S. in another field? I'm interested in Bridgeport but with m...

Hi! I'm from CT and am contemplating going to an accelerated certificate program here. From my understanding, as long as you pass the NCLEX you are are certified to work in any state in the US. My only concern is if you ultimately want to pursue APRN...

Thanks ExpatHopeful, I've always been interested in oncology but for some reason forgot to link that field to acute care because it is so maintenance oriented. Your advice was perfect, THANKS! What hospital do you work for now? have you had experienc...

One more thing: I ultimately want to be an NP as well...deciding my specialty is really stressing me out. I love the thrill of the E.R. but ultimately my 10-20 yr goal is to have my own practice dealing with holistic type medicine and pain management...

hey sprinkelz, I agree with expathopeful, get a recommendation from anyone that knows you will and you know will write you a good recommendation, I really don't think the "no name" school matters, what matters is what they write. When asking profess...

Thanks for the link, I'm taking some pre-req's at uconn now. The UCONN program is very specific: They demand B's or better in several classes including genetics, A&P, micro, etc. But the program seems great. The 3rd semester, or a few months into...

I actually started off my undergrad degree at St. joes planning on a nursing career. But after financial difficulty having to care for my mother I transferred to a community college to be closer and save money and then earned a degree in biology from...

Are you guys in Bridgeport's accelerated program? If so, how is it going? when do you plan to take your NCLEX?

also, have u all taken the GRE's? Should we be aiming for about 1000? If not, when do you all plan to take them?

I was curious to see what your guys' backgrounds are. I've noticed a really broad demographic when looking into accelerated programs. Have you all worked for several years? Are any of you current/recent grads? have kids? And what's your past grades/w...
