Hello everyone, I am currently a rising senior at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA (dont know if you've heard of it lol). I pretty much went to a liberal arts school to figure out what I want to do in life and expose myself to a very broad curriculu...

Just to clarify, if you are enlisting in the navy nurse corps with a BSN degree, will you be enlisted as an officer and doing more RN-type work or does the above statement regarding doing CNA work and being bossed around by 19-20 year olds apply? Won...

Hello everyone, I am currently an undergraduate student pursuing a B.A. degree in history. I have finally decided that I would like to become a RN and would eventually want to work as a CRNA. What option would be best to achieve this goal? I currentl...

thank you :) I am actually glad that they request it because I don't have any prereqs done except for general bio/chem/psychology. I'd prefer to do all of my prereqs at the nursing school rather than spend my time taking classes here or there, I feel...

Hello everyone, I am applying to UPenns ABSN nursing program that begins in September 2011. I have a question on my application which asks: "Have you ever been placed on probation or dismissed by a secondary school or university, or incurred seriou...

Thank you for your replies. Paco69, I followed up on your advice and actually talked to a person at admissions today, she told me that as long as my transcript doesnt have any red flags on it or anything like that then I do not need to disclose this ...

Hi everyone, I have a question I will be graduating from a traditional 4 year college with a B.A. in history at the end of Fall 2010. I currently have a 3.85 gpa and will most likely graduate with the highest latin honors. The only science classes th...

Thank you for your replies llg and GM2RN, I asked about this a while ago just forgot to mention that it does not show up on the transcript. My transcript looks just like everyone elses. The only difference is I won't be graduating in "good standing" ...

Honestly, I would be very happy to go to either UPenn or NYU and its something I wanted to do out of high school but I only had a 90 average (didn't do my hw and talked a lot in class). But in college I really matured and performed to the utmost of m...

Hi everyone, I am currently an undergraduate student who has not yet begun nursing school but I have a question as I eventually want to pursue a career as a CRNA. The requirements are typically atleast 1-2 years of experience of ICU/ acute/critical c...

Gotcha. How about taking the nursing program at the school where I am enrolled. Or are the 65-75% passing rates for first time takers on NCLEX too daunting. Especially if some schools have 90%+. Means the program is not too good right?

Hey GM2RN, the school where I am getting my B.A. degree now also offers a B.S. degree in nursing. However, when I looked up the passing rates it was 65-75% between 2005-2008 on the NCLEX. Should i just graduate and see if I get into NYU or UPenn? I'd...

Some interesting reading in regard to my previous post. Sources: New Graduate RN's and the Nursing Shortage: Recession and Jobless Registered Nurse Unemployed New Graduate RN's - Jobless in 2010: Tips for Jobless New Grad Nurses of 2010 Thousands Li...

double post

Nothing new, but everything that I have read so far points to the recession causing an artificial meeting of the nursing shortage. The shortage of nurses is real and getting bigger according to Department of Labor and other sources and once the reces...

I thought I would be able to get the ADN done in 1.5 since they want you to take English classes and certain elective, I thought those classes would get transferred from my history B.A. I heard many hospitals prefer new grads with BSN rather than ADN...

Thank you for your response! GM2RN there are second degree BSN programs at NYU & UPenn that will let me take all the prereqs as part of the program and it takes 2.5 years to complete the whole program. I will see if I get in those schools, if no...

Also a question I had was in terms of getting a job nowadays, will it better to go for the ADN or BSN option. I *definitely* plan to get a BSN as soon as I am hired. Also CRNA programs look for 1-2 years of experience in critical care, can I do that ...

Can you please tell me which school you went to in NYC, I am also in the same boat. I have a B.A. degree in history and want to become a RN but I do not know if I should do the BSN or ADN route. I want to become a CRNA eventually and will be taking a...

Economically an ADN seems to be the best option since I can be done in 1.5-2years and can begin working and making money and gaining the necessary experience to apply for a MSN. I have a family friend who is a CRNA and from what I know about it, its ...

llg, When I was referring to BSN programs, I meant the accelerated/2nd degree BSN programs..not starting a 4yr long undergrad degree for the second time. The accelerated programs will take me 2.5 years if I have none of the pre-nursing classes. Howev...

Any help please? Im struggling with this decision
