  1. WCU Accelerated BSN, any thoughts?

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I definitely have way above the 2.75 in the sciences, but I only had a 3.19 in my previous undergrad degree. I hope they dont hold that against me in my interview, since I sent them my transcripts and...

  3. WCU Accelerated BSN, any thoughts?

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    On the website it states pretty clearly that they dont want anyone to apply until all of the pre-reqs are completed. Also I emailed the person in charge asking what their acceptance rate is, and how...

  5. WCU Accelerated BSN, any thoughts?

    Lefty Lou replied to mcolli02's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  6. Accelerated BSN vs traditional BSN?

    Lefty Lou replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    I believe you still earn a BSN through a masters bridge program, but it's just all incorporated. Instead of doing a BSN then applying to a different MSN program, youre doing both in one straight

    Hello I have a BS in biology and was planning on appying to accelerated BSN programs this summer, with the intention of eventually earning my MSN. I was curious if masters programs prefer students who...

    Lefty Lou replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

  12. How did you decide where you wanted to go to nursing school?

    Lefty Lou replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    I am applying to two ABSN programs, West Chester and DeSales University, both in PA. One of the reasons I chose them was because of location, even though I still would not be able to commute. They're...

  13. What's the difference between REAL LIFE and MEDICAL TV-shows?

    Lefty Lou replied to sergei1989's topic in General Students

    Id say if you want to see what a 'real' setting is like watch shows on TLC or Discovery Health, such as Trauma: Life in the ER or Diagnosis X. I find those to be a lot more interesting than a TV drama...

    Lefty Lou replied to Bodunde's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im working around 26 hours per week while taking AnP I, intro to soc, and life cycle development. All the classes are 8 weeks long, so its the middle range as far as classes go (4-14 weeks). Im sure...

    Lefty Lou replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    god-is-love, I have a previous BS in Biology/chemistry so the classes I need to take for the ABSN programs are minimal. I need, soc, psych, AnP I and II. The soc and psych im taking online so the...

  17. Might have to quit my job! Need advice

    Lefty Lou replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    I totally agree that I can suck it up and do it for seven weeks. I am willing to change my schedule so I can take these classes, but I DONT want to change my schedule when I dont have to and thats...

  18. Might have to quit my job! Need advice

    Lefty Lou replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    I understand what you guys are saying about not wanting to work 8-8 or what not, but the fact is she is not being reasonable. I think it is way more drastic of a change to make me switch my class and...

  19. Might have to quit my job! Need advice

    Lefty Lou replied to Lefty Lou's topic in General Students

    I checked into night classes.. they do offer them for the summer session, but it would be 6-830 mon-thurs. I could probably switch my hours 9-530, but i doubt id want to go to work til 530 then class...

  22. Dilemma -- any advice?

    Lefty Lou replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I agree with FutureNOVARN, dont do it in a tattle-tell manor. I was concerned for my roommate because I didnt want to see her get through four tough years of bio to only find out she couldnt graduated...

  23. Dilemma -- any advice?

    Lefty Lou replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    Oh and I wanted to mention that had she continued with genetics and finished the semester she would not have been allowed to graduate because the requirements state that you must have a C or better....

    Lefty Lou replied to CaptScrubs13's topic in General Students

    I had a similar situation while in undergrad. My roommate and I were both biology majors and she got a C- in bio II. The rule at our school was that you could retake any class over, but if you went to...
