EpopBSN

thats not a bad idea.. I didn't think I would be able to do something like that, but I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

I have about a year and half before I'm done school and have my BSN. I'll be starting my clinicals in Aug but would like to get a summer job that may turn part time once school starts. I want to get into CVICU, any ideas of where I should work to give me a little boost? I have Lab experience thats about it. Thanks

But thats just the thing, I finished all my gen. ed. I have a 4.0 and I have been in school for 5 years now. I would be done had my credits transfered. I've never quit and I think that says something. I've proven myself ten fold over someone who gets ba in phil. or something.

I actually have everything done other then the NURS classes. It'll take me 2 years starting next fall or 1 year starting this summer. I just want to start this summer and be done. I'm smart, I have everything I need, I'm older, I just don't have a degree and thats only because of my situation.

I'm looking for some outsiders opinions. My first question is, why do you need a BA in order to do an accelerated BSN program? I can understand age being a factor, nobody wants a 19 year old nurse, but I am 24 and would like to get done school. I have a 4.0 and am a very hard worker, a friend of mine graduated with a 3.7gpa for SPANISH! and is in the 1 year program starting this summer, All my grades are better then hers. Here is my story as quick as I can make it. I moved after highschool and went to a local community college. My grades where A's and B's. My father lost his job about a year after the move and I needed to come home. Non of my credits transfered to the college back home (money). I took a year off and started school again. I then applyed to a BSN program at a public university. I got a letter saying I was in the program and with my credits it would only take 2 more years. When I got here they said they made a mistake and though I'm perfect for the program they don't have the room till next year. So I took a minor in communications. They then told me they could accelerate me because of what a good student I am. When I went to accelerate I found out I was lied to yet again and it would still take me 2 years from that point. Now yes, I'll have a minor which will help me get into CRNA school but I would like what they promised me, and that is to be accelerated. Does anyone see a reason for why they shouldn't make an exception in my case? I'll be meeting with the dean to pleed my case.
