    Can I afford West Coast university??

    MiahMSN replied to findingmyway's topic in California Nursing

    A Cal State may take longer than you want, but you will be grateful for the minimal debt you will acquire for the same education/degree! Take it from me, someone who got a BA and a MA and am now doing...

    Advice on What to do for Fall 2010

    MiahMSN replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming the OP must be located in a city where they do not have any schools with accelerated direct-entry programs for those with non-nursing bachelors

    That's exactly what I'm thinking, Boog'sGirl! The main reason I'm taking the CNA program is because I feel it could only help me during nursing school!

    Advice on What to do for Fall 2010

    MiahMSN replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    MiahMSN replied to MiahMSN's topic in California Nursing

    Yeah, I think prereqs help weed out those that are either not serious or thought it would be something different. Also, while the CNA is a state certificate, most hospitals will hire nursing students...
