Thanks, athomas. I went to the Transfer Student Orientation and just fell in love with the school. March isn't too far off, so I won't wear my nerves out.

I'm in the process of applying to Bowie State's Accelerated Nursing program and I am nervous as hek! My back up school is the junior college that I am currently attending. Has anyone applied to this program? How long does it take to hear back from them (the deadline is February 15)?

I have a BS in a science that I did not work very hard to get. My grades show that. Now that I am changing careers, I am at a CC starting from scratch. I will not provide my other transcripts, only the ones from my CC where I am doing well.

The one class that I am concerned with is a Philosophy course. Our school doesn't offer the listed equivalent. For my transfer program, I am going to apply to the Accelerated BSN which will start in the summer.

I plan to apply to a nursing school for my 2nd BS next spring. Currently, I am attending a community college. Do the prerequisites that you take have to be identical matches to what your transfer school wants? They require X but my school offers x. When I ask the advisors at both schools, they point the fingers at each other. Can you apply when you are still taking classes? My transfer school requires you to apply by Maarch. I will be taking AP2 then and my last humanities class.

I took AP1, Micro and Precalculus in the Spring. I am also married with 2 kids. I got Cs in everything and I am ecstatic that I don't have to repeat the classes. AP1 lecture and lab were extremely hard. Micro Lab was impossible. I had good (not great) professors for both and terrific study partners.

Learn from my experience. Before you take a math class, check RateMyProfessor.com.

Temple University has an outstanding BSN program. They also have a hospital at the Health Sciences Campus.

I also have a choice in the two. I hope you get some replies because I am pretty interested to know as well.

I am an engineer, returning for a 2nd bachelors in nursing. I start this summer. How much is malpractice insurance, ballpark? Is it worth it to get a Masters? Is there really a shortage? Thanks in advance!
