I think that one 'C' wont be too bad, especially if they see success in other areas. I, too, have a C in Micro, but mostly A's and a few B's here and there. Did you take the TEAS?

Hey y'all. I just applied to KSU and got in, and have sent my application to the nursing program, I am hoping to attend Fall/summer 2016. How long did it take y'all to hear back from the nursing application??? Any other info?

Hey y'all! I am very interested in VSU, I am graduating in May 2016, depending on what happens with training dates with the Army I am planing on entering either 2016, or having to wait until the next application cycle . What pre-reqs and grades did ...

Is this program a second degree BSN TO MSN, or second degree BSN AND MSN? Could you go through the accelerated BSN then be an RN, and do MSN route later??

Have an army scholarship with Army ROTC- considering disenrolling so that I may go directly to nursing school after graduating with my Bachelors in Biology. can I commission as a 2LT and get in a unit close to my ABSN school and drill an carry out th...

p.s. This information is all coming from ROTC counselors, all of which are ex/current Army and both active and reserve experience and knowledge.

I've been told numerous times that the army will not direct commission RN's.... as they barely even DC MD/DO's. Me coming into the Army as a nurse IS the best option... but it is not an option for me as far as ROTC goes. My scholarship is a "line" sc...

Hey all, looking for insight into ABSN/Second degree nursing programs! I am currently a Junior at the University of Kentucky, here are my stats: Major: Biology- Pre-Med Minor: Spanish Army ROTC student 20 y/o, female Current Cum GPA: 3.0 (hope to gr...

SoldierNurse22, I have been told that an internal transfer would be difficult. I am hoping to go reserves directly out of ROTC as a 2LT, and hope to branch Med Services (typically when you opt reserve you get the first branch of choice). The ABSN...

Claire, Thank you for the input! Yes, the bio degree is NOT for because I'm not 100%... I am totally set with nursing, but being a Junior in my Biology degree seems like too far to turn around, especially with how things work with Army ROTC. ...

I need the BSN in order to do the nursing that I want to do (Army nursing).

Any more info on this?

A bit late for this post, however, I'm looking for as much information as I can get... I ask because I did 3 years of Army ROTC at my university and sadly had to drop due to medical school (or plans to go that they wouldn't allow), then switched BAC...

Thank you! I already have the pre-reqs for most schools because I am a Biology major, thus have taken my fair share of Bio, Chem, Physics.. etc. I know my GPA is relatively low, but would the schools not look at the fact that I was Bio/Pre-med while ...

Thank you for the insight. I am completing the degree so that I have something to fall back on, a Bachelor's in Biology and a minor in Spanish... I only have a few months left of Junior year, then 2 semester senior year (Which i plan on time to get m...

Hi Y'all! Since you are all so helpful with all of my other questions, I am asking for opinions here.... What do you think about going to summer classes (community college) to get my EMT - B cert. the summer between my freshman and sophomore year of ...

one1: Did you do summer schooling for EMT -B or at the same time as nursing school?

Thanks for the input, guys!! I think I am going to go for it.. not this summer, but next... I mean the field experience should get me "in the game" or a little taste of the mindset of a field hospital... barely, but at least a taste! Instead of EMT ...

WOW! CONGRATS - - that's no easy feat, speaking from experience!! Keep up the good work!

TraumaRUs --- THANK YOU! Exactly the answer I was looking for, confusion = clarified. Thanks for all your help everyone!

A little bit about myself: I am a Nursing/Army ROTC student/cadet at the University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY) at the UK college of nursing. My course is a 4-year BSN track... After a 4-year BSN, is it possible to become an NP, or does becoming an N...

Oh, sorry for the confusion.. As I understand it, an RN is a graduate of a nursing program that has taken the board exam, and an NP is an RN with a more advanced nursing degree.

I am abbreviating Nurse practitioner as NP.
