Hi everyone, I am graduating the nursing program at Saint Louis Community College at Meramec in a few months, and I am wanting to start a BSN program in the fall. I am looking at Webster, UMSL, Maryville, and SLU. I applied for Webster, but haven't sat down with the advisor yet to go over my transcript. One of the nurses that I work with graduated from Goldfarb, but had taken many prereqs at STLCC. She told me that she tried to do the same thing, but the advisor told her they didn't accept a lot of credits from the community colleges. I wanted to do Webster or SLU because they work through BJC and the tuition would be substantially lower than if I went elsewhere. Also, I want to get started as soon as possible and avoid taking classes I have already passed. Has anyone else been in this position, and if so, how did you go about finding a program that accepted credits from community college?

Have you ever looked into the World Health Organization? I know that there are lots of options for people in the healthcare field to work all over the world. Check out their website, and see what you think :)

What material are you going over now in lecture? I like what Kylee had to say- I am in my 4th semester, and for whatever reason, I didn't really start using NCLEX questions until the end of 2nd semester. Not only do they provide you with rationale as to why your answer was right or wrong, but they also provide you with ways to pick out topics that seem to be most important. For example, the more questions I found, I would see a trend in the material the sources were quizzing on. That would help me focus on how to work through groups of questions relating to the material we were going over in lecture. I have the Saunders 5th edition, and it has really helped me out. The book provided rationale, and where to read in the book if you are having trouble answering the question. Not to mention, the CD has tons of questions. Hope this helps!
