  1. MSU BSN and ABSN

    roma4204 replied to frnzy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm in the program right now. It's really not that bad. I think when it was 12 months it was much worse. I work a lot, have a boyfriend and still find time that I don't know what to do with. That...

  2. Accelerated BSN and externship... possible?

    roma4204 replied to maiday's topic in General Students

    I'm trying to do the same thing. You need to check with the hospital, each varies so much. Also, I'm wondering if being in school will hurt our apps. Good luck, let me know how it

  3. Any ideas of nursing schools that will accept a 2.0 gpa :(

    roma4204 replied to Twanaboo's topic in General Students

  5. Freaking out soon-to-be first semester nursing student

    roma4204 replied to ajulian87's topic in General Students

    My advice: don't listen to any of the BS they try to scare you with. I feel like nursing school is really easy for some and really hard for others...meaning some should really think twice about being...

  7. MSU Accelerated Nursing May 2010

    roma4204 replied to ejcl68's topic in General Students

    I got a letter over thanksgiving but that would have had to been a different deadline. I know MSU looks at the "extra stuff" so putting you worked as a CNA is a great thing to do. It sounds like you...

  8. Nursing as a second degree, Kinesiology 1st

    roma4204 replied to N_school's topic in General Students

    That is exactly what I have - kinesiology and then a BSN...you will not by any means get paid more. I would guess it looks okay to MSN programs but your gpa in nursing school is most important. You...

  9. I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

    roma4204 replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    It sounds like the people who had such a negative experience either went to the wrong school, or are in the wrong PROFESSION! I have had nothing but positive experiences. School has been engaging and...

  10. Biology Major-- Im told nursing school is a lot easier?

    roma4204 replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

    It is a very different mindset than biology. It is all application of the nursing process and from my experience you either understand that or you're screwed. Good luck

  13. Nursing school and weight gain?

    roma4204 replied to waterlily's topic in General Students

    I lost about 10 pounds very fast after starting NS, and I really don't have much room to lose weight. I think it was because I was in class/clinical all day and I am a snacker. Also, some may have...

  15. Advice for Externship

    roma4204 replied to roma4204's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! What I meant by still being in school was that it will be during my last semester of my program. Since most programs don't go through the summer they may see that as a drawback. Thank you...

  18. Accelarated BSN program without a wait list and preques not recquired

    roma4204 replied to sue19's topic in General Nursing

    Any accelerated BSN with the pre req's built in is a traditional program...I don't think there is an ABSN program without them, otherwise it would not be accelerated. You would need a minimum of a...

  23. MSU Accelerated Nursing May 2010

    roma4204 replied to ejcl68's topic in General Students

    I think they do put a lot of weight on the essay. It sounds like you have a similar GPA to what got me in, but I know people who got in with MUCH higher. I think there is a huge emphasis on previous...
