No. I have only experienced one patient c/o SOB.

I am B&S Alumni and I had a good experience with the school. I went there and graduated as an MA and then went back for my nursing degree, at the time I graduated MA B&S had a great reputation, I was told by several sources that employers looked for B&S MA's because they were so well prepared, I hate that the reputation hasn't been so good lately, this is a fairly new program and had kinks to work out, but it sounds as though they are well on their way. As far as the instructors - I don't remember any that did not still work in the medical field (mostly nurses, but there was atleast 1 doctor that I remember) As any school there were good instructors and a few bad apples,but they if students express problems or the surveys are bad at the end of the semester, they took care of it. I cannot comment on the commute since I live pretty close and did not travel the expressway, but parking is plenty and free:yeah:. I am also a mother of 2 and worked full time until the 4th semester. But as long as you are ready to give 100% and dedicate lots of study time you will do fine. Good luck to you all and congrats to you that are about to graduate. I

Funny! I love it.

I am a former B&S Student. I went there for Medical Assisting and then returned for my ADN. I had good experiences with the school. Although early in the program the NCLEX pass rates were not good, it was a new program and there was kinks.I believe they have a new director of the nursing program and they have really stepped it up. I think the student scores must be significantly higher to pass the TEAS and the ATI's each semester. I feel they prepared us well or the NCLEX but when you are in an accelerated program it is up to you to keep up with the material. There were a few instructors that they could have done without, but for the most part I always felt the instructors were helpful and sincere in seeing the students succeed.

I have read (I believe it was the US Dept of Labor & Statistics ) that it is predicted the shortage to last up until 2016.

I am sorry to hear you were not accepted, but, if being a nurse is your passion stay with it. I am 38 years old, I graduated nursing school @ age 37. I also have 2 children. I did not go to school as young as I would have liked, but as others have replied, life doesn't always go the way we would like, and you only live one time. So don't live to regret what you did not do.

I did the same. The 1st and 2nd time I was disorganized, I studied from several resources. This time I have been doing Mosby's flash cards, I have just about finished the box but, I am a little skeptical about them since they seem too easy. I am considering doing Suzannes plan, and reschedule my test for the end of Jan. or by mid-February.

I too have taken the NCLEX twice and failed. I am so relieved that I am not alone. Reading others comments is comforting to me. Stressing over this test has taken so much out of me. I just want to move on and do the job that I have dreamed of.
