There does not seem to be a lot of information/input regarding the UMKC Traditional BSN program. I see a few sparse threads here and there. I would really like to see a good strong thread develop for those that are looking for information on this pro...

Hello fellow colleagues, I am interested to know if anyone has known of Chiropractors ever teaming up with FNP's in family practice style or collaborative practice of any sort (under one roof)? My Chiropractor and I were talking about this recently a...

Thank you so much for your response! :)

I am currently a BSN nursing student. I am committed to doing international medical missions in some capacity. After graduation from my BSN program I will be going on to complete a Doctorate of Nursing Degree/Nurse Practitioner Degree. I was wonderin...

O' I'm so glad that was helpful. Yes, you are correct, the accelerated doesn't seem very "accelerated" compared to other programs that do complete in 12-18 months. I think they might be adding open summers in there...don't quote me...that could just ...

Hello! It's so good to hear a little of your story and plans! Both the traditional route and the accelerated track are great programs at UMKC, even for a mommy of three! The two programs aren't much different in every-day demands. The accelerated is ...

(I possibly should have made this a blog about this subject instead...? Staff: is it possible to move this to a blog posting?) So exciting news!!...I GOT ACCEPTED to the traditional BSN program at UMKC starting this Fall 2011 (class of 2014)!!!!!:yea...

I like that!!

Absolutely! My pleasure. I think your plan is excellent! It's really good that you are asking these questions now. I think that shows that you're a "planner." You will be glad that you do your research as much as you can ahead of time. I know I am!...

Metropolitan Community College, Penn Valley location (downtown) also has an evening & weekend ADN program that accepts applications every ODD year (so this year they are accepting for the next weekend/evening program that will start in the SPRING...

Hi CNM, I am a pre-nursing student. I will hopefully start my nursing program next school-year at UMKC. I live in the KC area. I've been here for about 5 years. The consensus seems to be that professional nursing is heading more and more toward highe...

Okay, yes that makes sense. Thanks for the response!

Would it be a different allowance for nurses who have obtained a Bachelor's degree in nursing? (As far as being able to work in the UK from the US) Just wondering, thanks!

Here's a useful website you might want to visit when you get to microbial genetics. http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/ You can do a practice version of transcription and translation plus a bunch of other interactive activities. I'm half-way through Micr...

As another future nurse, this was a great story to read. I agree with the others. :) I hope that I can find teachers, clinical instructors, nurses, and others that are able and willing to extend a moment of thoughtful wisdom if/when I have my first (...

To follow up with this post a little, we had a group of current UMKC BSN students come visit our Nursing 101 class @UMKC yesterday. We got to ask them any questions we could think of. Here are some the the details I gathered (this is paraphrased, I m...

Here is another good link to TONS of helpful nursing-student related: http://studentnurseconnections.com/

Unfortunately, I don't think any of these links still work. I tried each one.

I am currently finishing my last semester of prereq's for the UMKC traditional BSN program, and I am also hoping that there will be some more input from graduates (or CURRENT students) of UMKC BSN program on this thread. I am attending the N101 (nur...

Thank you! That's great advise. In a way it's still sinking in that as a nurse I really can carve out a niche in any area where my heart is if I just commit to it! I believe what you said is very true. Thank you for your encouragement and advise!

Hi, I have done a good amount of research looking into both of these programs. At first I thought I wanted to go to Rockhurst. I would be able to do the tuition reimbursement program that they offer to save on tuition. I really liked their staff and ...

This is a great question. It is a very wonderful highlight to nursing that you can choose from so many areas. I was intrigued to see quiet a few responses indicating Forensic nursing as an area of interest. This is an area of interest for me as well....

That's awesome! I'm so glad you responded. What state does your sister practice?

Hello, I'm requesting input from current students or graduated students/working nurses that have gone to Rockhurst/Research for their Traditional BSN program. I would love you to share your experience and your opinion about the whole experience: scho...

:up:Thank you very much for your feed-back. It's very helpful and I appreciate you sharing what you have. I have not spoken to any UMKC students personally (I had an unpleasant visit when I went to visit the school) but I really do like the idea of a...
