Or any of the local community colleges - I did mine at Nashville State online and it was very straight forward and easy to complete.

You have to make above a 76 in each class, with your overall semester gpa above 3.0 - and the gpa scale depends on the class. For instance, you can make a 90 in a class and that's considered a B+ which is a 3.3. I believe if you get below a 3.0 in se...

It is pretty rigorous, but really depends on the semester. Since it is only 4 semesters straight through, one of those will be in the summer, which means it will be condensed and even more time consuming. Clinicals take up a lot of time, but so do th...

I rock Landau top and Cherokee bottoms. Landa has a tall option which seems to work for the most part.

I have a business degree as well, so before I went back I was asking the same thing. With the way the industry is going, I would HIGHLY recommend sucking it up and getting a BSN vs an ADN. I found an accelerated program, so it is only 16 months strai...

I only took them once, so I do not know. You can talk to their admissions office, they are extremely helpful.

The cost just went up, but I think it around $12,000 a semester for just classes. Then you have to account for books, gear, cost of living, etc. I don't know where you are looking, but this program has like 8 or 9 clinicals - anytime you see a 5 hour...

The program is one of (if not the) best in the area, and I'm not just saying that since I am in it. The facilities are all extremely nice (less than 4 years old), and lab sizes are small - anywhere from 6-12. The teachers are extremely amazing and ve...

http://www.belmont.edu/nursing/accelerated_bsn/index.html Is that the kind of info you are asking about? I'm enrolled and would be glad to help, but I need more specifics on what kind of info you are looking for.

Just wondering if anyone out there has applied to Belmont's Spring 2011 Accelerated BSN program? Have you guys heard back yet? It's been over the 4-6 week period and I'm starting to get even more nervous than before.

So I haven't started my program yet, but I did receive a minority in nursing scholarship for being a male. I mean that does seem a little ridiculous, but the scholarship was awesome and much needed so I will gladly accept it haha.

It is hard to say what they are exactly looking for, but it seems like you are in the same boat I was in and I got accepted. I would second the notion of turning it in ASAP. I dropped my stuff off on July 1st (I live like 4 blocks from campus so it w...

@AKalaskabound I actually got my letter of acceptance the same day I posted that, so I should have gone home at lunch to check the mail before I posted haha. Looks like we will be classmates haha.

To anyone still checking this - what kind of GPA did you guys who got accepted? My previous undergrad was 3.19 and I just got 2 A's on prereqs which brought it up to around a 3.22 which is what Belmont will see. Do you guys thinks this will work base...

Heard from the husband of a nurse at Vandy saying they do pay the lowest out of all hospitals in the area. I have also heard if you are looking to use it to launch your career, that hospitals around the country know vandy so it looks good on your res...

If you are looking to be in Nashville, the easiest thing would be to take your prereqs at Nashville State Community College - only problem is you would probably have to pay out of state tuition. You might be better off applying to those programs from...

So I checked over my emails with Belmont last night, and realized they do not take any RODP biology courses - meaning no A&P or microbiology. I think anything with a lab will need to be taken in class.

I'm in the same boat - previous degree and changing to nursing. I am planning on applying to Belmont or Cumberland for their Accelerated BSN programs, so I contacted them before I started. Belmont said they will take all RODP except Microbiology, and...
