  1. Where did you find financial aid when you decided to go for the 2nd degree in nursing

    nvsmom replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

    I've applied to many schools since 2008 (for other degrees besides nursing) and to being my nursing prerequisites. I have a Bachelor's and each time I've applied for financial aid, they told me I do...

  2. UTA Online Academic Partnership BSN Program - Dallas Hospitals

    nvsmom replied to txnurstud's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Someone who goes to this school told me you don't have a choice on what days and times your clinicals are, but they are 2x a week. The only weekend program I know about is TWU...which you have...

  3. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    nvsmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    Currently I'm looking into and spoke with an admissions counselor about an accelerated BSN program that requires students to pass with a 90% or better on each exam. I found out you get only one chance...

    nvsmom replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I am not going to go on with admissions process. But I am curious to find out what current students think of the program and how they are

  5. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    nvsmom replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    There are only several ABSN in the UC and CSU systems. And if you don't get in, you have to wait yet another whole year to reapply, instead of the next term/session. I think the nursing job crisis...

    nvsmom replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I live in CA and unless you live in CA..you don't know the crisis going on here regarding nursing schools! WHich is why so many Californians are willing to pay this much and/or go

  7. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    nvsmom replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I am a second bachelors degree seeking student. Some schools won't even accept because of that. Many schools here have 2-3 year waiting lists, especially the public ones. There's an educational crisis...

  8. Nursing program w/a minimum required to pass with a 90% on exams, what do you think?

    nvsmom replied to nvsmom's topic in General Nursing

    yeah I thought it was a bit crazy, too. I don't doubt my abilities and skills to be a great nurse, but I also do not want to go crazy about meeting a 90% or better with the idea of potentially not...

  9. Single mom going to nursing school. Is it possble?

    nvsmom replied to sahmwannabe's topic in Nursing Career

    You can do it! You just have to spend some time researching all of your options. There are many single parents out here who have used government aid to help them. It really depends on the state you...

    nvsmom replied to b00ger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't give up..keep trying. I've been rejected my 2 schools so far but I am applying to many more. I also have a BA and my science GPA is only a 3.3 I have to retake TEAS IV, take TEAS V and HESI A2....

  12. Can anyone tell me your experiences in a accelerated nursing program?

    nvsmom replied to skyheaven477's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes CCs are fine, if you don't want to go to one in California. ALL the CCs here are compacted. People have a better chance going to a private school or out-of-state. I personally would pay extra...

  13. UTA Online Academic Partnership BSN Program - Dallas Hospitals

    nvsmom replied to txnurstud's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    It's just a risk you may have to take. I know UTA isn't the only school that does something like that. Nursing schools here in California are VERY difficult to get into unless you want to pay $50,000+...

    nvsmom replied to thebread's topic in California Nursing

    I'm going to complete my application if I can get a DSST test done for Interpersonal Communication somewhere. In that case, I'll take patho and pharm online with SMU. Can we apply to all campuses?...

  24. UPenn accelerated BSN 2011...anyone?

    nvsmom replied to nvsmom's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
