    JaninAZ replied to ccstar's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Relax already. Granted they working hard. I never alluded otherwise. However, going the Excelsior route will most certainly limits one's marketability. This is indisputable. Try talking to a few nurse...

  2. What is your experience with ADN program through Excelsior College

    JaninAZ replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thank you for being open-minded, LunahRN. In the future, I will forego the phrase mickey mouse. Perhaps "questionable" would have been a more appropriate description? In any case, I hope 2011 is...

  3. What is your experience with ADN program through Excelsior College

    JaninAZ replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    "Do employers look down on it? Sure, if they take it at face value." You said it yourself. Look. No offense whatsoever. Personally, I won't have an issue with an Excelsior nurse taking care of me. I...

  4. What is your experience with ADN program through Excelsior College

    JaninAZ replied to Mandy79's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The word is, DON'T DO IT." Nearly all employers frown heavily on Excelsior graduates and will NOT hire them. I know for a fact that certain states, including California, won't grant you a nursing...

    JaninAZ replied to Staragate's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Don't you just love these changes? It's all about money folks. By the way, the word is Pima Community College's nursing department staff are not particularly friendly nor do they necessarily care...

    JaninAZ replied to RoxyRed's topic in Arizona Nursing

  10. Kaplan/Maric College RN program

    JaninAZ posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I am now looking at Kaplan College in San Diego. It's not my first choice. However, I am number 444 on a community college's wait list and I'm too old to wait 2 more years to start. Can anyone...

  11. Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

    JaninAZ replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    Hello, Even private schools like Concord and Kaplan which offer LVN programs are costing at least $30K these days. However, once you have your LVN, or LPN as it's referred to in some states, you can...

  12. Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

    JaninAZ replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    I agree in part that schools such as Kaplan are not first tier. However, bare in mind that such ADN programs are quicker and easier to get into. Community College route- Two years of pre reqs followed...

    JaninAZ replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    RE: Kaplan College's RN program I recently visited Kaplan's San Diego campus this December. They did not give me a hard figure for the 20 month RN program, but suffice to say that it's a good $50K. By...

  15. Anyone hoping to start Kaplan San Diegos ADN (RN) Program in January 09?

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    At this point it sounds like both of us just need to get an RN of some sort to start making decent money. Later on you can have the hospital pay for your online BSN courses, if you choose. You do know...

  16. Anyone hoping to start Kaplan San Diegos ADN (RN) Program in January 09?

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    Just on a personal note. Despite some short comings I will still be checking out Kaplan's marginally accredited ADN program in San Diego this month. However, I still didn't like the idea of everyone...

  17. Anyone hoping to start Kaplan San Diegos ADN (RN) Program in January 09?

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    OK, here is the real deal. Spoke with National University today. NU is accredited by WASC. Same as all the state and community colleges. Kaplan/Maric is not and National University will NOT accept...

  18. Anyone hoping to start Kaplan San Diegos ADN (RN) Program in January 09?

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    You make a few good points. Your pay check will be the same size whether you go to Maric, or a community college. Moreover, like you, I feel my time doesn't have a price tag either these days. In...

    JaninAZ replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    I have been in the medical field for many years and I'd have to agree that Maric's reputation hasn't been the best.

    JaninAZ replied to Misti619's topic in General Students

    Oops! I see Misti basically answered my Kaplan ADN cost question. Wow, $50K for a store bought ADN! I suppose bumping up to a BS degree later through Kaplan would set you back about an another...

  23. San Diego City College

    JaninAZ replied to PulchritudinousRN's topic in California Nursing

    Regarding San Diego City College. When I submitted my app in 2007 I was in the mid 500s on the RN wait-list. I received another letter a few weeks ago from the college. I'm now in 400s. Even if half...

    JaninAZ replied to JaninAZ's topic in General Students

    Thank you, but one thing. Kaplan College's nursing program is not just "a little more pricey" than some community colleges. We are talking about $4K verses $40K! I realize that I will be buying what...
