  1. I'm going to sign up for community college here for the fall semester, hopefully. I was guessing I have about 3 semesters worth of pre-reqs to take, so I was going to apply after the 2nd semester. It'...
  2. Since I already have a degree, I am assuming that most of the non-science classes will transfer. Is stats required pretty much everywhere? Would that and nutrition be good to start with you
  3. See, that's the problem... I have no idea where I might apply. I could end up anywhere. I guess the smartest/safest bet is taking
  4. I would love to not have have to take Chem, but how is that possible if it's a pre-req for Anat/Micro? Which schools didn't require it? I am willing to move anywhere for the ABSN program. Which...
  5. I already took English 101 in my first degree, and probably a few other classes that may satisfy some gen-ed requirements....how do I find out which ones I don't need to
  6. How popular is it to be a travel nurse? Is it fairly easy to get contracts? Do you need a BSN or just an
  7. I have recently graduated with a non-science bachelors degree. My GPA was not all that hot (2.9) so that concerns me a bit. But basically I am wondering what my chances are at any of these 12-18...
  8. It seems like the BSN programs I've read about are tremendously competitive, you need A's in all the pre-reqs, outstanding letters of recommendation, etc.. Are all of the programs similarly...
  9. That sounds real interesting. Is it Mon-Fri, 8 hours each day pretty much? Is Organic Chem a pre-req for the
  10. Wow, could you tell me a bit what that's like? Are you basically in a virtual class on the computer all day long? How are clinicals arranged in your hometown if you don't live in
  11. That would be great if you have any info on programs in NJ. That's actually a place I am
  12. Do you have a link to the program that didn't require Chem? haha I'm
  13. By Chem 1 and Chem 2, I'm assuming you mean 2 semesters total? No Organic is necessary right? When did you apply for the BSN program? After 2 semester or something at the
  14. I have a bachelors degree, but it's not in a science. Would I really be able to do the LPN tech school and the pre-reqs at the same time? Would the experience be that worthwhile when it came to...
  15. So it's 16 months for an accelerated BSN vs. 2 years for the ADN? How long did it take you from the time you started all the prereqs to starting the accelerated BSN? Also, did your program look at...
  16. 2.5 GPA in the pre-reqs? Do you mind me asking which
  17. Really 1.5 years on the waiting list?? And this is pretty much
  18. Where does Chemistry come into the picture? That's not a pre-req? I have heard that the BS - BSN accelerated programs are more competitive than the ADNs, so that's why I was thinking of going this...
  19. What is the work schedule like for RNs?

    Is there competition for the night shifts, seeing as those would be less
  20. I was under the impression that all of the pre-reqs, Chem, Bio, Anatomy, etc were taken during the ADN program..so that's not the case? How competitive was getting into your ADN program? Did they...
  21. Also would I maybe be better off just getting the ADN for the time being? Would that be any less
  22. Wow, thanks for all the tips and advice. I really do think Nursing would be something I have the personality for. I'm still young and it's always been a career in the back of my mind. I guess what...
  23. As of right now, I do have a job. That's interesting about the shortage being an urban legend, does it really come down to your GPA in nursing school and during your BSN? I'm really just wondering if...
