  2. ASN with BA in non-nursing subject

    Most University programs have a RN-BSN bridge (most are online programs) and there are several direct entry MSN (from RN) program around the country. Just have to do some research. If you already...
  3. Dosage Question

    There must be a piece missing somewhere --- the information as presented does represent that you have on hand a 2mL vial at 30 mg/mL .. thus a total dose of 60 mg. So it would be 0.5 mL to give a 15...

    I have to agree --- "Life" is always going to happen.. and there will always be something.. don't keep putting off until the perfect moment or you may just miss your dreams completely.
  5. Hep B Vaccine Question

    I wish you luck -- but it was stressed to me by both the school and health department that there is 2 week window (before or after the due date) for each of the last 2 injections.. and if you went...
  6. Actually, if you read about the program it does seem like a very legit (although experimental) program. It requires students to progress at a very rapid rate -- 1 credit hour per week, all students...
  7. Since they have no affiliation with the CT state BON seems they will admit you but you have to travel to one of the listed state to do your clinical
  8. Buying a car for nursing school

    lol -- my nursing skills are fine... let's review... You have been offered several excellent suggestions and opinions.. and immediately post as to why you cannot follow that advice or why they will...
  9. You are correct that all colleges are different in their acceptance criteria.. Are you planning on pursuing a traditional BSN route, i.e. 4 or 5 full semesters, or the ABSN 14 or so month option? The...
  10. Buying a car for nursing school

    You've already made your decision --- go car shopping and have
  11. RN ADN Prereq.

    It would basically be insane to take Chem, AP I, AP II, and stats all in the same semester. However after reviewing the NCTC catalog successful completion of AP I is a prereq to taking AP II so the...
  12. This is exactly correct --- how lax is Yale, Princeton, or Harvard .. they are all private schools.. But the likes of DeVry and Capella do accept and aggressively sell (er recruit) anyone that show...
  13. TCU HESI component?

    If you are taking the computerized version -- if your school doesn't require it then it will not even be tested.. Can't help if you are taking the paper
  14. Can't get federal aid, best private loans?

    I have reviewed the changes that were made in 2010 and see the one's that deal with changes in aggregate limits and repayment terms but did not see anywhere where the maximum number of credit hours...
  15. The Trifecta

    That's the program layout in my program for 1st semester nursing students. All classes are laid out and are only offered once a year.. so have to take them if you want to advance, otherwise have to...

    I just finished my 1st semester - Patho, Fundamentals & practicum, and Health Assessment & practicum... yes it is a TON and moves very quickly, especially since my classes were designed to...
  17. Taking more than 4 classes at a time

    6 kids? WOW that's your full time job -- God bless you
  18. EMT Starting RN program anyone else go down this road?

    Surprising that this poster attempts to sound so well educated about the job that pre hospital providers do yet has none of the facts correct. I will concede that the EMT-Basic certification is rather...
  19. Oxygen and Delivery Methods

    Excellent resource -- Thank
  20. Starting A&P I in January

    I agree -- I constantly used my A&P book during Patho... Also a thing you might consider is that my program used the same text for A*P 1 and A*P 2.. if you rent it twice might as well buy
  21. A&P I & II + Microbiology for one semester

    I'm with heather --- how on earth can you take A&P 1 and 2 at the same time? If you are taking them one at a time in a 1/2 semester type course then I still wouldn't recommend taking them with...
  22. When does/did your semester end and how did you do?

    Congrats and best of
  23. Can't get federal aid, best private loans?

    The issue is that the OP already has BS and has exceeded the number of hours allowable for federal loans at the Associate level degree. That's the reason that S(he) is being told that they can't...
  24. When does/did your semester end and how did you do?
