I would like to know if that lab schedule 9-4 is specific to the concurrent program. The Nursing I listed on the course list gives 9-12 and 9-12:30. I'd like to plan in advance for work purposes. Thank you.

Actually the question, as indicated by thread title, is at heart about people choosing for profit institutions. The answer, as others have provided to you, is that we often work far harder at these schools. This happens because the schools have to ...

I attended UI Urbana undergrad. Grad school at Columbia in Chicago. Moved to Orlando and started working for University of Phoenix. Graduated with the MHA. And as part of my severance from lay off I finish my MAED/Adult Education and Training in Augu...

A lot of schools are coming up with new rules based on credits. They know a lot of people are returning to school and this is the way they keep the MONEY with the people THEY FEEL really need it. I think it is sad because a lot of people want a new c...

I have never been arrested in my life. I still ran a background check on myself last month. I am applying to schools this month.

I have been attending colleges since 1997 and I have never paid for a syllabus. If it is that amount of detail I would welcome it and pay for it.

I live in Orlando but I am from Chicago. The cost of living here is far more as I don't have any family or help with my children. I'd actually probably fare better financially there working nights and getting paid $33+ an hour. I can even live at hom...

it is a nightmare here trying to get into nursing school and a nightmare here trying to get paid after. Take the pay but understand what comes with it. My understanding? Nurses in the North and in California are making far more money.

I am getting ready to study so I can take the TEAS. I have not taken a standardized test like this since 2001. I am concerned about getting a score above 80% and I'd really like to do much better than that. However, all the people I know that have ta...

I have not taken it. Chemistry is 1 chapter in all the books of the classes that are pre-requisites for all programs. After taking a chemistry class I have to say that I believe that 1 chapter is sufficient information for the exam.

If there are any other night students please let me know what to expect about that program. I plan to apply for the night program starting soon here and I'd like to know what is realistic. I usually leave work at 4:30 pm and I know class starts at 5:...

You are a God send. I am applying to this program and I wanted to know what to expect. I plan to do the night/weekend part-time program. I do a relatively easy job where I work on a computer and read daily. So I can do the evenings. I was kind of wor...

Mommy loves you. I tell my two all the time. Daddy--you need to wait. I have to study. This is important to our future. He is the adult so he should be able to understand.

I have never had a flu shot. I read a nice article recently that talked about how the flu shot this year was only effective in 9% of the cases. Wow. 9%. That is terrible. Why do they teach us about drugs and developing resistance to them only to forc...

Cat. I have always loved them. They don't need to be king of the jungle like a lion. They are independent. They care for themselves for the most part. And they come to you when they need something. I have also seen my cats fight the dog and not be af...

To attend I am paying from my 401k. I have no other money. I have to pay myself. And the programs are very expensive. And in my area the BSN is practically required at hospitals and the CNA is becoming obsolete there as well.

After many confrontations at the job I've been at 6 years I have learned that when you get to know and work with people for years you discover which ones will rub you the wrong way. C can pass you and still get you a job in nursing. I am a straight A...

I was born in 79. I have been battling with my teacher over an 88%. I am a straight A student. I don't believe in a C. It hurts my heart. Let not the immature chanting drown out the love of the profession and the ability of someone who really wants t...

I am buying a tablet because my laptop is heavier. And I am getting composition notebooks for my notes. I plan on carrying my books only when necessary. So if you don't need that text don't carry it. Just a thought.

You all really are a big help. These same assignments come up in different programs and it is so much easier to know where to look. THank you all.

Yes. Sacrifice for school. I am cutting out the cable movie channels this week. And when my contract ends I am cutting cable. I have netflix and Hulu if I need to watch something on break. Your dedication to this speaks volumes. Keep up the good work...

Hello all. You can take the bus--and read. Nursing does require a lot of studying to get through the program. However, if clinicals are involved at 6 am you will need a car to move around. So you may want to make sure you are prepared because some ar...

Thank you for being an inspiration and points of encouragement. This is a very hard process and many times I feel people are trying to scare you away. I really want to do this so it is great when someone wants to help.

Thank you for providing information. I have been attending VCC and SCC and after this semester I have one pre-req remaining to apply to the programs at each school. I am a straight A student. And I am very happy I decided on this option.
