Just curious as to where you go to school, how you like it, what your long-term goal is, and any other info you feel like sharing! :) I am looking at Accerlated BSN programs and Direct Entry Masters programs around the country, since only one very co...

Hi there! I'm a newbie to the boards! :) Anyone out there in a Masters Entry Program? I'm desperate to get into the one here in San Diego at USD, but the competition is fierce. Does anyone know by chance of any programs like this that are pending s...

Yes, they require: A&P I/II Microbiology Statistics As well as some general ones, like English, that you most likely would have completed in your degree. Contact them, they are great. I unfortunately do not have the credentials to get in, but am...

Alicia, There is a great program for you at USD (University San Diego). It's called a Masters Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), and despite how competitive the program is, you sound like a shoe-in with your background. The program is 3 years in leng...

Does anyone have a recent updates on RN pay and opportunities in the DC area? TIA! :)

Thanks for your reply! Now here is the next natural question to ask.... what if I can ONLY get physiology this semester.... should I take, or wait until next semester and hope to actually get into the anatomy class?

I am either going to be taking anatomy or physiology this semester. I am waitlisted, so we'll see. If I had to take physiology first, would this just not make sense? Do I benefit more from taking anatomy before physiology? Thanks!

Thanks, I'd have to agree! Let us know as soon as you do!

Congratulations ChrisA, that is an extremely difficult program to get into! Good luck and let us know how it turns out! :)

Hey there, I am starting fresh with all my science courses, so I am taking Human Physiology this semester, starting at the end of Jan. Good luck to you!

Thanks for your responses everyone! I'm really excited to be on this path, and just have to keep that in mind through all my prereqs. :)

What school were you accepted to? And Congratulations! :)

Hi everyone, I start Human Physiology on January 31st. Well, hopefully - I am on the waitlist as these clases are incredibly difficult to get in my area. So wish me luck! I am taking it seperately, but would have preferred the A&P I/ A&P I...

Hi Kristina, I have done a lot of research into Direct Entry Masters and Accelerated BSN program in CA. USD's program is excellent, but they take only about 40 people per YEAR and there are always 500+ applicants. Crazy. So for Direct Entry Master...

Thank you for your replies - keep 'em coming! :)

Just curious - where do you go to school?

Hi All, I too am planning to pursue either an Accelerated BSN program or a Direct Entry Masters program, as my goal is to become an NP. Only one school in San Diego offers either option, so I am researching other schools. I have a pretty comprehens...

I'm still taking pre-reqs and live in San Diego, CA. :)

Just curious - as someone who is looking at the NP profession as a long term goal (that and med school, please don't flame me for saying that, I do realize they are completely different professions!) -- do you find many NP's in the hospital setting...

Ok, before I get flamed for posting such a statement - I'm only asking because, as a Californian who is thinking of becoming a nurse, the nurses that I've spoken to here seem to be happy in their career choice. But on these boards, my goodness, you'...

Just curious - to all the RN's, NP's, CNS's, etc. out there..... If you had to do it all over again, would you have became a doctor instead? Keep in mind all factors to consider: malpractice rates, med school tuition, time committment...... Happy Sun...

May I ask where you teach and why you are thinking of switching careers? What part of the country are you in?

I am one semester from having my teaching credential - why would you choose teaching? Just curious to get your perspective on it. TIA-hg

Thank you everyone for posting! It's so great to hear all the different thoughts and opinons on the subject. Just in case anyone is interested in why I asked the question, here's my story: I will be 28 years old this year. I just got married 6 mon...
