JHU is ungodly expensive, add the commute to and from, as well as to the clinical sites + parking for both and tuition is just the tip of the iceberg. Wait it out and apply to UMB @ SG.

I'll sell you all my stuff, and give you my scrubs and lab coat too (as long as youre a size medium). I decided halfway thru my first semester that nursing wasn't for me (left with A's and B's so its not like I flunked out, just didn't like it as muc...

The wait takes forever, but they are just as eager to tell you as you are to find out. That being said, when you guys find out I have books and gear to sell. After breezing thru and enjoying my pre-reqs I found that Nursing wasn't my thing, so I hav...

It's not a survive or not kind of thing. Don't psyche yourself out. Don't get me wrong, it's difficult, but very doable (I am putting in the same effort that got me A's in pre reqs and getting high B's at UMFC, but my more studious classmates are pul...

Really focus on your 4 sciences. Those are the most imp. classes. Exactly how they view a failed class, req or not, is up in the air. I say take this event and run with it, pull all A's from here on in so that it's on admissions shoulders and not you...

And if communism is so great why has it never been implemented??? Without the promise of greatness, where does the motivation to be great come from? Why would doctors and engineers work so damn hard to get a degree if they would get paid the same as...

To all those that complain that school should be free: just look at how much money is wasted on Pell grants that never result in a degree. And even if school was free, there is still the cost of room, board, and books (not to mention transportation, ...

Just a question. No malice around it, nor is it a class assignment. Just me wanting to know what you would do if you were given one more partial scholarship than you needed. Would you accept it and give it to a classmate? Would you buy your program ...

Thanks for all your input. After much internal conflict I have decided to accept the additional funds and use them to pay for "wants," namely a new computer that my other scholarships wouldn't have covered. Well that and to pay taxes and social secur...

I should clarify.Let's say the merit based scholarships were all received legitimately, and that the first 3 paid for the complete cost of going to school, tuition and fees covered, as well as a sizable monthly stipend, also include another 10k in sc...

You might want to worry a lil' bit, GPA alone doesn't get you into Maryland. You really got to bring it all: GPA, LOR, TEAS, volunteer work, and a well edited personal statement. My application GPA was well over a 3.8 and I feel that my GPA helped me...

An ADN isn't always cheaper. There are boatloads of for profits on both sides of the 2 year vs 4 year entry to practice debate. Additionally your public and prestigious private universities have more money to throw around to attract qualified and des...

I can't believe anyone would pay to learn path, or to work 12 hour clinicals. Now on a more serious note 40k a year is alot, but if it means that much to someone what is it for us to judge (personally I think it is a much better idea to get the grade...

I think it is unprofessional. Do you see Dr.s, or PharmD's, or Lawyers wearing such things. Nope. But you do see rappers and wannabe thugs sporting their bling. By trying to show your peers that you are better than them because you have your BSN you ...

Dang newguy (or newgirl) already challenging facts Usually I would just tell someone to do their own research on something like this (to boost your google-Fu and research skills) but I am including it for this topic as I am passionate about minimiz...

It really depends on the contract. I am under scholarship contract and if I am not hired the scholarship is gifted to me, even then I much rather have the job than that forgiveness (esp since my contract is at the best hospital in the Area, and I don...

Alright, my school is in the top ten!!! But like people before me said, the rankings are based on whatever they want to be based on, however I do notice a trend that schools with large intradiciplinary professional school are in the high ranking list...

My first two years I used the GI Bill. Having busted my butt to get grades that would all but assure a spot in a merit based acceptance NS. With those grades, I decided to apply for any large scholarship that fit my demographic (27 y/o white male wit...

What I am saying is that you have to shell out 23k because you chose to apply to a school that costs 23k. Pell grants are income based, if your EFC is 5000 then you get 550, even if you are going to a propriety school that costs multiple times what i...

I would call the schools, you should be fine though (the schools that only allow 2 can just look at the first 2, the schools that allow 3 can look at all 3).

"Too many" depends on which side of Nursing Education you are on. I am sure the 2/3 to 3/4 (depending on who's stats you are looking at) of nonaccepted qualified applicants and those on 4 year waitlists would think that there aren't enough schools. W...

Keep your post-bac grade point average at a 4.0, that says lots. You also should apply to schools that take the entire applicant into consideration (as opposed to a school that just makes cuts based on GPA and test scores.

I am starting a BSN program in 3 weeks. I chose BSN over ADN for a variety of reasons. 1. I really wanted a bachelors. I joined the military right out of HS and the quality of life between HS and College grads was immense. So that was a big driving ...
