merrywhiterose, I know you posted this foreeever ago, but I'm hoping you'll still get the notification for it. I've seen on a couple of your posts where you are going (or went, if you have graduated) to Lincoln Unv. on Fort Leonard Wood. I'm considering applying there, and I am curious about the program. There aren't many resources on here about people who have gone there, and you seem to be the post recent person I can find who has actually gone there. Just wondering if you can tell me how you like the program, what the teachers and classes are like, etc. I would have sent you a pm, but apparently I don't have enough posts to do that yet! haha If you prefer email, you can email me at [email protected] Thanks!

I wonder if Vegas2009 knows that "Scrubs" is also a television show based on a hospital and it's doctors, nurses, and other employees. And TECHNICALLY, Vegas2009, that song was entitled "No Scrubs." :) Good for you PatMac10! Most people have no idea what they want to do out of high school, so it's AWESOME that you are so excited about your chosen profession. Best of luck!

Courtney3908, Can you tell me a little bit about Lincoln University? I'm considering it, but don't have a lot of information on it. Is it a good school, as far as teaching, what you are learning, etc.? I would love to hear more about it. If you want, you can email me at [email protected]. :)

My husband and I are stationed at Fort Leonard Wood right now. Do you think you will be living on base or off? For education on the post, check out the Truman Education Center. They have a satellite program from Lincoln University that is solely for the ADN. There are also other colleges in the area that offer nursing programs. There are a couple in Rolla, MO which is about 20-30 minutes away, and there is a community college in Lebanon, MO as well that also offers these programs. They told me at the Truman Education Center that it is usually pretty easy to transfer credits from on-base education installations to other places, so I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to get them transferred overseas. I'm considering the Accelerated-BSN at Cox College of Nursing in Springfield, MO because I already have a bachelor's degree. If you have any questions about the area or living out here, just let me know!

LCGrace, What order did you decide to take the science classes? The way it sounds and from your profile, I think I know what school you are talking about and I am thinking of applying there as well to finish up the science pre-reqs and get into their accelerated BSN.

Since you're a military wife, do you live on/near a post? If so, you can go to the Education Center on the post and get some information. I know that our Ed Center on the post has several different colleges inside of it, one of them being a nursing program. From what I understand, these credits are pretty easily transferable and a lot of the classes are either online or in the evening Just a thought for you. I'm not a nursing student yet (hopefully soon!), but you also have to keep in mind that a lot of the stuff you learn, especially for your RN, will be hands-on stuff. There will be clinicals, etc., that you won't be able to do online. Good luck though! I am also a military wife, so I know how you feel about moving a lot!

I'm living in Missouri, and I think they have spring admissions. I'm actually applying to a satellite school on Fort Leonard Wood and they let you start in spring, but I think the actual school (Lincoln University) does as well. Not totally sure, but I think so.
