  1. Is it possible to earn BSN in 3 years?

    The only school I can think of where you can obtain your BSN within 3 years is West Coast University. They have recently been accredited by the CCNE, so if you're planning on advancing to your...
  2. ONLINE MPH programs that DON'T require the GRE?

    Here's a list I've been compiling of programs that are CEPH accredited & don't require the GRE. I don't have the faintest idea about each school's tuition though... University of Oklahoma -...

    My deepest sympathies to her family. Her contributions will never be forgotten on
  4. What did you do when you got rejected?

    I cried, cursed the world & cried some more . Re-applied again, took Human Sexuality & volunteered to pass the time & keep my mojo running (PUN intended). Got rejected 3 more times,...
  5. No one told me....

    Have you tried support hose? Some of the posters on this forum swear by Dansko shoes but it'll cost you a pretty
  6. HELP! failing med surg!!!

  7. National University Accelerated BSN

    Nobody on my cohort has their RN license & besides, the LA campus only offers the generic & ABSN program. I think five people in my cohort are in the generic program & the rest of us are...
  8. National University Accelerated BSN

    Ditto on what ExPharmaGirl said =]. You'll bump into the term when you take Biomed. I took Biostats as part of the core for my previous bachelors & there is a bit of math involved, but not too...

    Here's a list of online patho courses, courtesy of Samuel Merritt:
  10. National University Accelerated BSN

    Hey RAINonMe: I'm actually in the 2nd cohort at the LA campus & can honestly tell you that you still have a good chance to get accepted. When I applied for fall 2009, only 40 people applied for 20...
  11. National University Accelerated BSN

    Bryanc4321: Speaking for the LA campus, you won't get to decide if you prefer to take classes strictly during the day or evening; you pretty much have to be flexible around their schedule. This is why...
  12. Was positive I failed but..........

    Congrats!!!
  13. How long did it take you to get into your nursing program?

    It took me 2 semesters to get into a nursing school. While waiting, I took extra classes that would beef up my GPA and were relevant to the nursing field i.e pathophysiology, medical anthropology,...
  14. When my studying mojo starts kicking in, I'm totally immersed in my textbooks, but after 2 hours in, I force myself to take mini breaks in between cuz I start getting dizzy & tire
  15. Medical Terminology: To Take or Not to Take?

    I personally recommend it. I'm taking Health Assessment now and it certainly has prepared me in composing my Care Plans. . I still have my textbook and use it as a supplemental resource time &...
  16. National University LA thready

    Hm, sounds pretty standard that you would need Chem, especially since you plan on becoming a CRNA. I just wonder though that if let's say that you take Chem now and you apply to CSUF 6 years later,...
  17. National University LA thready

    Hi James: Kinda odd that NU is unsure if your English transfers over from a UC, & are making you re-take your English in spite of their doubts. But I can tell you one thing about ASSIST -- do not...
  18. A&P 1: The Skeletal system

    Call me weird, but I thought it was fun studying the skeletal system! I don't know if your school library offers it, but in my school I use to check-out a box of replica human bones and spend about...
  19. National University Accelerated BSN

    Hi Michelle, I've got all my books as well & have already started w/ the readings. The only book I didn't get was Mosby's (optional book), but I'm still debating if I should get it or not. If I'm...

  21. Should I keep my A&P textbooks for nursing school?

    I highly recommend you keep your books as well as your class notes as supplemental resources. Though mines are kinda collecting dust, they will prove useful in the eventual future,
  22. National University Accelerated BSN

    Sorry, I don't have the faintest idea. On SOAR, the class location still says "TBA". Have you purchased your textbooks
  23. Health promotion....

    I did a similar topic as the previous poster with childhood obesity. A few other topics I can think of: - Breastfeeding for newborns - Smoking cessation - Stress management - Prenatal
  24. National University Accelerated BSN

    Hi Charles & Pinky687! Hmmm, I dunno about new grads making 80K/yr (though that would be extremely nice ). 50K-65K sounds like the ballpark range for new grads in CA, but it may be a little higher...
  25. NS application reference

    I would definitely request an LOR from your previous employer. Your previous employer is able to attest your work performance, how well you work with colleagues and clients alike, your leadership...
