    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Agreed. It occurred to me that she may have been not taking into account that MANY BSN schools are jr/sr level that once must transfer into after 2-3 years of full time classes and pre-reqs. It just...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    You're backwards-- ADN is a 2 year degree (often 3 with pre-reqs)- BSN is 4 (sometimes 5 with prereqs)-- show me ONE reputable BSN program that has less classes and time than an ADN program. Good...

    Vodka tampons?!?

    lifelearningrn replied to Christy1019's topic in Emergency

    Well then, I guess you never did or thought of anything ridiculous when you were a teenager. Good for you. In the real world, teens do stupid ****. Having no 'sympathy' for their ignorance and age...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    People can give all the anecdotal "I know ADNs who and BSNs who" but that doesn't mean one if 'preferred' over the other. What I base it on? In Houston, the Med Center (one of the biggest and most...

    Not true in the slightest. ADN programs require around 72 hours and BSN programs around 120. Last I checked, 120 was a lot more than

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    The same can be said for ADN... I'm not sure I get your point. Having a wrecked life is in no way related to one having a BSN. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the more education one has, the...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    What clinical skills are being 'glazed' over with BSN programs? From what I've gathered, BSN have just as much clinical and the ADN programs.. BSN just requires more classes- quite a bit more...

    I gave two weeks,,,but I dont want to finish

    lifelearningrn replied to KarriRN's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me you're pretty set on not finishing up your remaining shifts, and are looking for everyone to support your decision.. if you don't expect to use these people as a reference.. so I guess...

    Took Teas did not pass

    lifelearningrn replied to momofbbg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I got in the high 60s and got accepted into a good BSN program. They look at grades too- different schools weigh TEAS differently- but two of the best programs have pretty low acceptable scores- one...

    When to Apply to Nursing School..?

    lifelearningrn replied to Cherry02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it helps to have them complete- I had to wait out a semester but it's a good breather between crazy pre-reqs and nursing

    Chamberlain College of nursing - graduation rate?

    lifelearningrn replied to pamski0069's topic in Chamberlain College

    Run away! Think about the 89% of people who didn't graduate, likely don't have a good job, and have a tens of thousands of dollars in debt, for

    lifelearningrn replied to Tricia76's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd take chem in the first summer, english 2 and sociology in the second summer and the rest in the fall. I took chem in a five week summer course (5 hours a night, 4 nights a week).. it was rough,...

    My odds of getting into a traditional BSN?

    lifelearningrn replied to C.J.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've got great stats, I'd say your chances are quite good. Different schools look for different things though, look up past threads on Texas Tech, they will give you some insight into what that...

    Chemistry, for me, was the hardest science class I've taken in college (and I've taken a bunch)-- don't judge how you're going to do in the others by Chem. At least take some of the direct nursing...
