    peaceofmind8 replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  2. ADN to MSN yay or nay ?

    peaceofmind8 replied to Elleveein's topic in General Students

    Moogie - Thanks for your thoughts. I'm still up in the air but feel lucky to have choices! The cost difference is substantial -- $1000 per unit vs. $25 per unit. Of course one is graduate school so...

    peaceofmind8 replied to skijunkie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. ADN to MSN yay or nay ?

    peaceofmind8 replied to Elleveein's topic in General Students

    I am in the same position ... I was accepted to an MSN program and an ADN program both with good reputations. The MSN program is expensive, the ADN almost free. I wonder though, is it worth going...

  6. BSN right away or ADN + RN-BSN bridge?

    peaceofmind8 replied to RNfaster's topic in General Nursing

    I was accepted to an expensive ABSN program, to a more expensive ELMSN program and then to an inexpensive ADN program! Due to the state of the economy I am leaning towards the ADN since I don't want...

  10. University of San Francisco CNL Entry Masters

    peaceofmind8 replied to Sandman2855's topic in Post Graduate Students

    peaceofmind8 replied to iluvmusak's topic in California Nursing

    peaceofmind8 replied to lm2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    mixtapes - yes, the usf program sounds great, i've only heard positive things about it and the fact that it runs for two years makes me feel that it will be a long enough time for the economy to warm...

  14. Chabot ADN vs Samuel Merritt ABSN

    peaceofmind8 replied to iluvmusak's topic in California Nursing

    Wow, I just turned down my acceptance to SMU ABSN after reading about the hiring freezes and decided to go with a two year program (despite the fact that I am an older student). I was accepted to...

  15. New Grad: New York City or San Francisco

    peaceofmind8 replied to lm2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

  18. University of San Francisco CNL Entry Masters

    peaceofmind8 replied to Sandman2855's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Does anyone (especially grads) know what the recent placement rates have been for USF CNL grads? Also, is the last semester internship designed to segue into potential employment or is it designed as...

  19. New Grad: New York City or San Francisco

    peaceofmind8 replied to lm2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    What kind of job are you doing now? All told, how many of your class do you think have found jobs in the field out of state and non-acute included? In your opinion, would you do it all over again...

  20. New Grad: New York City or San Francisco

    peaceofmind8 replied to lm2009's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow smugirl, so is that the SMU 2009 class that only placed 6 in Bay Area hospitals? This makes me seriously wonder ... the sticker price is so high for school, what does everyone do about their...

  21. Average Salary for ADN vs BSN

    peaceofmind8 replied to ltf500's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  23. Anyone know about Clinical Nurse Leader?

    peaceofmind8 replied to Oakstyn's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I've been accepted to both an ME-CLN and ABSN program and am trying to determine which one to accept. It does seem odd to me that a Master's-prepared nurse with a title of 'Leader' would also be the...
