How many of you have taken their first job in a ambulatory/clinic setting. Is it hard to get a job like this with no experience? I've been out of school for about a year now, but had no job/experience. I'm thinking of applying into a ambulatory/clinic setting and was wondering if it will be ok for a new nurse to do or get a job like this? What are your opinions? Thanks!

Miley22: Were you able to find any school that doesn't require experience? I'll appreciate your reply. Thanks!

Does anyone know of any online NP school that take new RN with minimal to no experience? I'll appreciate your help. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I need some help. I have an ADN, non-nursing BS, and no experience yet due to no job. My goal is to be a FNP. I was wondering if going thru WGU's master's (education or leadership) would be ok if I further want to transfer to a post-master's FNP. Money is also an issue for me that's why I want something that is cheap. Has anyone gone thru this route? What schools did you go to? Faced any problems? Please help! Thanks!

Thanks! Will do that.

Hi Everyone! I've searched and looked through this site but can't find direct answers and honestly I currently have no time to sit and search for hours. I would really appreciate if someone can help me. I'm actually finishing my ADN at the end of this year. I have a previous bachelor's in another field. I was wondering if someone can tell me if there are any programs that offer RN-MSN (NP) programs for new nurses with a Bachelor's in another field, WITHOUT EXPERIENCE. I want to continue and not take a break because my main goal is to go straight to NP. I would prefer an online one. I would really appreciate your help, thanks! :)

Yeah, the reason I asked was coz my cousin got her acceptance letter on saturday and didn't even have an interview. I guess we should all be hearing soon? AliB: Did you have an interview or anything? How were your stats and pre-req completions?

Hey, For those who have applied for the Spring 2011 Accelerated program for Tulane (N.O) location: Have you recieved anything yet? Do you know anything? Thanks! :)

Hey Everyone Can you guys tell me when you got your letters/postcards? I only got one letter from them saying thank you for applying...blah blah blah and then a sheet of paper attached with all the deadlines and requirements.

Thanks for replying, everyone! I guess I'll just apply to some with this GPA and if not selected anywhere, I will apply again after my GPA rises a little :) Good luck to all of us :)

Hi All, I was wondering if someone can help me with my scenario.....actually I'm applying to accelerated BSN and some ADN programs. I see that a lot of schools require an overall GPA of 3.0....I'm getting my bachelor's in summer. Right now my overall GPA is 2.98 but I'm taking a few classes that I'm doing well in and I'm positive that my GPA will rise to 3.0-3.1 range. Well, my question is that when schools say minimum 3.0, does it really have to be minimum 3.0 to apply...even though by the time I finish it'll be that and also I don't wanna wait another year to apply after my grades post. I'm applying to schools that don't require a 3.0 as well, but really concerned about the ones whose minimum is 3.0. Has anyone been in this situation before? Can you help? Thanks in advance!!

Hi All, I also sent in my application today to this school. Does anyone know what their policy is on course repeats? What grade they take? Hopefully they get all my stuff in time including my transcripts that the school will directly send them....donno how long they'll take

Hi All, Does anyone know which of the three National campuses are easier to get into....in regards to how many applications received, GPA, TEAS, etc? My overall GPA from my Bachelor's degree (Bio-medical Science) is 3.0 in pre-reqs I had to repeat my A&P I and Microbio. to get a better grade.....However, I do have about 10 W's on my transcript with 3 D's and 2 F's (Biochemistry and Genetics) in three different semesters as I was going thru a terrible time when two of my immediate family members passed away in road accidents within a year's time. I was really depressed for a while and didn't care during my junior and senior year (usually the opposite happens when people don't care in their freshman and sophomore year). Went through separation myself, was only 21 when all this happened....and now three years later, I regret it all but it was all out of my hands . So basically, my junior and senior year were bad and my last 60 semester hours' GPA is 2.7 (overall will be 3.0 though).....well enough with my bad grades, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what my chances are? Where do I stand? What can/can't be done? I'm only planning on applying in California as I'm married now and my husband has a great Software Engineering job and I don't want him to move outside California with me (due to the job crisis) and I don't wanna leave him unless it's the last option I have . I'm really putting my heart into nursing and want to become a Nurse Practitioner after I've gained some experience as an RN first *fingers crossed* and can't take my mind off of it. Ok, I'll stop...too much for now....but I'll love and really appreciate any replies/suggestions you guys might have. Thanks for reading :) G-luck to everyone! :)

Hi All, I wanna apply to Kaplan's ADN program but had a few questions before I give my info. to the reps. :). When is their next start date? I'll have a Bachelor's degree in Science from a nationally accredited university. What pre-reqs does Kaplan require which the students talk about that cuts their program length and how much does it cut it? My main goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner....so, with an ADN from Kaplan and Bachelor's in Bio-Medical science from an accredited state school...can I transfer to a RN-MSN(NP) program....is there any that will accept it? Which accreditation does Kaplan hold currently? I'm also considering National university's second degree BSN but I want to keep my options open as my previous B.S overall GPA is only going to be 3.0 . I'll really appreciate any info you guys might have. Thanks a lot!
