  1. Georgetown WHC Scholarship discontinued?

    leenak replied to oldmare's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like you are right. Looks like they replaced with a $10,000 scholarship called the Clinical Scholars program. It is a 2 year work commitment. Scholarships - Nursing - School of Nursing &...

  2. A&P 1

    leenak replied to keeithh01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to basically work with what you got. If your teacher didn't cover chapters 2-3, then you'll have to find what is important in chapters 2-3 yourself. What are your chapters 2 & 3 about?...

  3. Anatomy and Physiology I

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

    I like the chemistry parts of bio classes but we are skipping the chapters on chemistry and cells because we are already expected to know those. Our syllabus does show basically a chapter every class...

  4. Accelerated BSN programs

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

    Well if you think a MSW is something you'd like, I'd still think about it before making the BSN plunge. I don't know what MSWs make but I know a RN makes a lot less than I make now. It makes no...

  5. Ucsf, online nursing programs????

    leenak replied to TMartinez_ER_RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

  6. Am I competitive??

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

    Most of the ABSN/ETP programs I've seen require a 3.0/3.2 or above. Some of them will weigh more heavily your last 60 units as well as take in consideration classes you've taken after your degree....

  7. Getting hired with an associates degree?

    leenak replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely depends on where you are at. I live near 2 major metro centers. Within an hour radius, I think there are 12 schools offering BSN degrees. On the various hospital websites, I've...

  8. New Grad in need of Advice =(

    leenak replied to >--stethoscope--o's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you think moving isn't an option, have you considered renting out your current place? I bought a townhome and 3 years later, I moved across the country. My husband and I bought a townhome and we...

  9. Microbiology Online Class? Or a Pre-nursing degree online?

    leenak replied to redshott's topic in General Students

    Many schools won't accept online lab courses so that might be a challenge depending on where you go after the UK. Someone who was stationed in Japan told me the military offered a variety of classes...

  10. Accelerated BSN programs

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

    That is funny about being a mediocre student in your 20s. I was the same way. In my 20s, grades and school weren't a top prioririty. So much has changed. Now I'm an A student in my 30s. I've...

  11. RN with bachelors degree in Business to NP Program

    leenak replied to Nurse Student86's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I saw that University of Maryland has a RN-MS program but not for their NP degrees. It is for a healthcare leadership MS. I'd personally contact the schools you are interested and ask about their...

  12. Looking for input on concerns about career change to nursing.

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

    I'm in a similar situation. Currently in a lucrative, 6 figure career. Going back to school for nursing. The thing is it is the only thing that feels right to me. It is scary to think that I am...

  14. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, I didn't realize it was that early. Yeah I'd expect you'd find out soon and I'd email them as well to ask. They have been responding to emails really

  15. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    From what I understand, the regular decision deadline is January 15th and they say they get approximately 800 applicants per year. It takes a lot of time to go through that many applications. I...

  16. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

  18. How far would you drive to go to school?

    leenak replied to jdelaney3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So my first choice school is about an hour away and with traffic, it'd probably take me 90 minutes on many days to get there and home. I found out the program is daily, 8am to 5pm. I figured maybe...

  19. Schools that you dont need a TEAS to get in

    leenak replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in School, College Programs

    Most of the schools I've been looking at don't require the TEAS or any other test but the caveat is they also are second degree

  20. Duke, UPenn, John Hopkins ABSN - Worth the Price Tag?

    leenak replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in General Students

    GrnTea - If you don't mind, what schools did you go to? I went to the open house for Johns Hopkins a couple weeks ago and it was amazing. The students were helpful and I collected a bunch of email...

  21. Duke, UPenn, John Hopkins ABSN - Worth the Price Tag?

    leenak replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are definitely other expenses as well although I'll have health insurance and Baltimore is actually less pricey to live than where I currently live. But there are cost of living expenses. JHU...

  22. Duke, UPenn, John Hopkins ABSN - Worth the Price Tag?

    leenak replied to 2bEsqtoRN's topic in General Students

    I replied in your other thread that I'm applying to JHU. I have the money saved for it though but it is definitely something that is a tough

  23. Help!!! A&P has started!!!!!!

    leenak replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah I might feel like an oddball. Flash cards do nothing for me and neither does taping lectures. If I spent a lot of time in the car, I'd definitely tape lectures. Writing is the one thing that...

  25. General vs Patho Micro

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

    Does your school have a description of the courses? Pathogenic would mean focusing on those that cause disease. Although that sounds interesting, I'd probably take general
