  1. Maryland BSN hopefuls for Fall 2012

    leenak replied to ixchel's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Grey Lady, Since I am definitely applying for Spring 2013 UMD, I was wondering how much weight does UMD put towards volunteer work and if you have any suggestions on preferred type, I'd appreciate it....

  2. Dreams of FNP Dashed by Cost

    leenak replied to AniLMT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have you looked at your state schools? I know it may be a longer process, but you can get there a lot cheaper. I realized my chances of getting financial aid were slim to none when I decided to go...

  3. ADN-MSN with previous BS and MS... any 1 year programs out there?

    leenak replied to cootvon's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what I've seen of the MSN programs, even if you want an equivalent of an MSN and already have a MSN, then it still takes 2 years. I also have a BS/MS myself. The closest thing you could've...

  4. ADN-MSN with previous BS and MS... any 1 year programs out there?

    leenak replied to cootvon's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The issue really is that a MSN and a MS are two distinct things, much like a BS and a BSN are two distinct things. It seems no matter what, the MSN will be approximately 2 years

  5. A&P 1 Spring 2012 Check-in

    leenak replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also a perfectionist when it comes to grades. When I got a 96, I was somewhat disappointed and I tried to argue one of the answers and the teacher kind of nodded yes but it wasn't the answer she...

  6. Should I or should I not?

    leenak replied to greenemeralda's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know if I'll change my tune toward the end of the semester but I'm in A&P 1 right now and preparing for our second test. There is a lot of memorization but I don't find the class to be...

  7. USD MEPN App 2012 - Fall Class of 2011 Stats

    leenak replied to christy17's topic in California Nursing

    Ahh ok thanks. About 50% more than the school I was applying to at $66k for tuition. Something to think

  8. USD MEPN App 2012 - Fall Class of 2011 Stats

    leenak replied to christy17's topic in California Nursing

    I haven't applied to USD but I'm considering it. I couldn't find anything about the cost of the program but based on per unit cost and number of units required, it is around $80k. Is that right? I...

  9. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Even though I had applied for Fall, I've been watching this thread for months. I got a letter yesterday saying I wasn't accepted. I'm ok with that and I really think my lack of recent...

  10. Johns Hopkins Fall Entry Accelerated BSN (2012)

    leenak replied to TESC'10's topic in Maryland Nursing

    So I got a letter today that said I wasn't accepted. I'm fine with the decision. I actually had a strong feeling that I wouldn't, mostly because things have been going as well as they could in my...

  11. Question about MSN and post-msn certificates

    leenak replied to bsnwnab's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From the programs I've looked at, there isn't a large difference from the number of classes in a MSN-FNP and a certificate-FNP. It doesn't save you a lot of classes but you'd have to ultimately ask...

  12. To take Micro or not??...

    leenak replied to stigrl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does definitely depend. I loved Micro and thought it was a fairly easy class. I'm in Anatomy right now and it is fairly boring. Mostly the labs, I find unexciting. Sure it is interesting to...

  13. Johns Hopkins Fall Entry Accelerated BSN (2012)

    leenak replied to TESC'10's topic in Maryland Nursing

    What date did you apply!? I think all my paperwork was on the Jan 16th (transcript and recommendation

  14. Quitting Work and Starting Nursing School...

    leenak replied to hopeful616's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And if you can cut expenses, any way you can, it will help. My husband and I have paid off our cars but one of our cars is starting to get on its last legs (it is 12). I've been looking at possibly...

  15. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Congrats!

  16. Switching careers at 42...I have to re-take Mircrobiology???

    leenak replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I want to apply to a school that takes Chem, I'd have to retake chem. I had a year of it for my BS. I've seen people who said they had a BS in Microbiology say they have to repeat it so yeah :)...

  17. Quitting Work and Starting Nursing School...

    leenak replied to hopeful616's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it possible to postpone a year to save up the money? I've been saving for over a year and I have enough money to cover tuition and extras. We have trimmed down our living expenses so that we are...

  18. -

    leenak replied to seaglassgreen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the idea is that due to the economy, people go into nursing because that is where they believe they can get a job. If that is the only reason someone goes into nursing, they should look at...

  19. Can a high school graduate(18yrs)do an accelerated BSN program without qualification?

    leenak replied to ladyruth18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They are basically for those with a BS/BA. A BSN should take you 4 years

  20. Second Degree Nursing

    leenak replied to bremc18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well even transferring will require prereqs. I started my prereqs part time January 2011 and I'm applying to one program for Fall 2012 (I am picky) and more following if I don't get

  21. Lifespan Psy condensed to 3 wks?

    leenak replied to melc0305's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could ask what is expected. I've never taken that short of a course. For my Lifespan class, we had 4 exams, multiple quizzes, 1 research paper and 8 2-3 page writing

  22. Prerequs for the prerequs :-(

    leenak replied to ryanalice's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh they bring up a good point. If you took a higher level math, you don't need to take Algebra. I'm guessing you took a year of Calculus for your Bio degree? I took a year of Calculus as part of my...

  23. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    The HRSA program for loan repayment actually has been expanded somewhat recently. So you might be able to get loan repayment for working in an underserved area. For me, I'm lucky in terms of...

  24. Forced ultrasounds

    leenak replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If there was any medical reason for it, I'd expect a mandate to be given by something like the medical community? Since when do politicians mandate medical procedures? Obviously it is creating a...

  25. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They say on their website they are still accepting applications for both summer and fall. I don't think they necessarily fill all their slots. They aren't a state institution that would try to fill...
