I am thinking about going to Mercy's accelerated second degree program but I hear they lose many people during the year due to grades. Is that true? Is it too fast and should I consider a 2 year program? I am a good student but I'd hate to spend all ...

Although I am 99.9% sure I will be in nursing school next year, in keeping my options open and also because I am a bit old and need to save every bit of money, I was wondering if any RN's have worked with Cardiac Profusinsts and their thoughts on the...

Please share your experience so far as you stared in May I believe? Did you lose any students who didn't cut it? I heard one cohort class lost like 10 students just in the 2 week assessment but I never know what to really believe. Any info would be a...

Next spot meaning, the following term.

I think they just offer you the next spot, you don't have to reapply.

I'm guessing SDO is what they are calling U of D Nursing? Did you lose any students the first semster from your class who couldn't cut it? thanks.

msuliz2010 you should be able to get kristen on the phone. that is her job as i have talked to her before myself. call again and tell her you want a return call. if she doesn't, go above her head. you should be able to talk to someone there. i am sur...

Almost every hospital I know if you ask the operator for volunteeer services or something like that they will transfer you to the right person. Even cedar sinai in beverly hills has one. Good luck. OH, if you want to work in a specific area make sure...

Did they share with you what the hold up is? If you have mostly all As and Bs you should be okay. My fingers are crossed for you.

The woman you want to talk to is in charge of the second degree admissions.

I guess the obvious question is, how did you like the program? Glad you went and recommend it? I am thinking about doing a masters program or maybe just doing PA. I'd like to end up as a PA or NP. I know they a few bachelors in another field through ...

As I understand it if you have taken a minimum of 5 of the prereques they will fully admit you knowing you will complete the others with a passing grade before the program starts. So even if you have 2 outstanding you should be accepted if you are ac...

I just heard 18 people didn't make the cut in the first two weeks starting the second degree program in January 2010. Can someone confirm this or is it nonsense? That seems like a lot of people.

Well, the key is that your parents are willing to help which is great. I think it is very different when someone has 60 thousand in loans. You might never have to pay your parents back which again is a fantastic situation to be in. For most, 60 k is ...

The cost of the program is extremely high, about 53 k. Then add living expenses on that. I do believe that includes books. if you're over a 3.5 they give you about 11 k as a grant that you don't have to pay back. That's it. The rest is a Stafford loa...

just curious, did you get your RN after the paramedic?

All this talk is making me think I should go to med school lol Anyone know if NP are finding it this hard or just RN's?

I intended to end up as an NP but when comparing costs to just get my RN, my local community college is about 4 grand for a one to two year associates degree where a Second degree bsn or MSN (not for NP) is probably 25 to 30 grand for the year and a ...

I was all set to head towards NP when I met a pediatric physician at starbucks yesterday who tried to tell me PA is the way to go and that NP's aren't ask knowledgeable and that just threw me for a loop. I just need to hear from people in the field i...

Okay. I'll be the one to ask the question, how many points did you have lol. I am applying for January I believe so it would be nice to know what I am needing at a minimum. Congrats to both of you. May I ask where you are deciding to go in not LA co...

I know there are and I appreciate you letting me know that. Sometimes it is nice to hear new perspectives instead of reading some posts from 2008. And yes, I know there are newer ones.

I am going to be in the same position next year. We both have degrees in other fields and I have come to accept that going into the nursing field today is VERY competitive and I wish i could have realized this was something I wanted to do even 5 year...

Of course it is positive, there are probably MANY who didn't get on it at all. Not everyone excepts their invite so stay positive and follow up with them without annoying them. Can I ask how your GRE scores were? I am thinking about applying their fo...

Okay, I know most of you out there hate these programs but they exist. But most are a fortune. Does anyone know of any that aren't going to cost me 75 k to 100 k or more? I know there is Yale (GEPN), Vanderbilt, Univ of IL in Chicago...but all are so...

does anyone know where to find a list of ADN to MSN programs if you already have a bachelors in another field? You always hear there are many but it would be so much more efficient if there was a list of some kind. Thanks.
