  2. how do i know if nursing is right for me

    figuringitout09 replied to lovedillpickles's topic in Nursing Career

  3. South College question

    figuringitout09 replied to Dee AnnCMA's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    If you're not looking for a BSN there are several community college schools that offer the AS. In fact Pellissippi is to start an AS 2010 Fall. Most upper level programs (meaning you've already got...

  6. Anyone apply for UT's Direct Entry MSN?

    figuringitout09 replied to MemphisTiger's topic in Tennessee Nursing

  9. South College

    figuringitout09 replied to ks48's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I'm currently taking pre-reqs at South College. I'm not in the actual BSN program yet. I'd say it's quite competitive like all nursing schools seem to be. All of your pre-reqs are taken with...

    figuringitout09 replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, I volunteered at a clinic where I know one of the woman was working on an ASN with the hope of getting into the direct entry MSN program. I'm sure this budget has affected many plans. I hope to...

    figuringitout09 replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Interesting thread. I'm in my pre-reqs now for a BSN program that should all go right I'll start in April. I think one of my first posts on allnurses talked about thinking about counseling first and...

  18. help-looking for BSN or ASN program in Knoxville

    figuringitout09 replied to yaya1111's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Not to say it's not possible at all but summer pre-reqs, due to the shortern time frame tend to run long hours each day, I don't think you can finish the pre-reqs needed over the summer, IMHO. Check...
