  1. George Washington Accelerated Program Fall 2011

    leenak replied to ktg2122's topic in General Nursing

    Can anyone comment on their experiences with the program? GWU is a backup school for me and I'm waffling on whether to apply or

  2. GPA Requirements for Washington DC area schools?

    leenak replied to stelat2010's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of Trinity but if you are starting in January, don't you already have your class schedule? I can't speak for the specific college, but from what I've read about other nursing schools,...

  3. Biology is required for BSN?

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

    Chemistry isn't a pre-req for most of the nursing schools I've looked at. I had a year of chem quite a few years ago and the one school that I wanted to apply that required chem, says my chem is too...

  4. Applying to schools

    leenak replied to zoetravers1992's topic in Maryland Nursing

    There is Steven's University as well. It is in the Baltimore region. George Mason (VA state school) may be another option. I think of the schools that offer first time BSN candidates a degree,...

  5. Can you throw out some career options for the fields i am interested in?

    leenak replied to confused256's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    for some reason, psychology is one of the most popular majors in college. Biology seems to be right there with it, mostly due to the pre-med students. Once you have a BS/BA, you can get a Masters in...

  6. Applying to schools

    leenak replied to zoetravers1992's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Tippeny and I were saying the same thing in a different way. Basically, you'd need to put your application in with none of your pre-reqs completed in order to apply for the fall. There are 4 major...

  7. Nursing as a 2nd career

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

    That article is a veiled advertisement. Also since nursing jobs are a bit in the tank right now, I'd hope they'd grow by 2018 but I'd expect them to be pretty stagnant for the next few

  8. PA or NP

    leenak replied to jwelvy's topic in General Students

    I know there are a ton of schools with DNP programs but I didn't know there were that many that were NP programs. Most of the schools near me have DNP programs but all their NP programs are still...

  9. I'm In! But Can I Afford It?!?

    leenak replied to zoemorg's topic in General Students

    Will the school let you defer your admission? Another option is to try to save up money for the tuition. You can cut a lot of expenses in a

  10. PA or NP

    leenak replied to jwelvy's topic in General Students

    Not PhD, DNP. And it depends, there are only a few schools with DNP programs for NPs. If you get into a MSN program, then it will most likely remain a MSN program for the duration of the program....

  11. Applying to schools

    leenak replied to zoetravers1992's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I hate to tell you this but you don't have enough pre-reqs completed to apply to UMB. You can have up to 5 pre-reqs outstanding at the time of your application I believe but only 2 science classes...

  12. What field of nursing are you interested into going into?

    leenak replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think anyone should apologize for wanting to be a CRNA. It sounds like a long, hard road to get there. I don't believe in dream crushing but if someone struggles in pre-reqs, struggles in...

  13. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm crossing my fingers for all of you! I am still gathering stuff for application. My micro class has come to an end, other than the final. I loved that class. I only have 2 more classes to take,...

  14. I'm In! But Can I Afford It?!?

    leenak replied to zoemorg's topic in General Students

    Why aren't loans an option? When I did my first undergrad degree, I took out about $11k in loans which provided me the ability to get my degree and was paid off after. For my nursing degree, I've...

  15. Trying to find a nursing school!!

    leenak replied to redmonds12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try Montgomery college as well as university of maryland. I know you say you are in a hurry but university of Maryland is probably one of the best schools around. Their program is 21 months long and...

  16. financial advice for pre nursing students

    leenak replied to leana212's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you looked at community colleges? I'm taking my classes at a community college but they aren't cheap. Each class costs me $550. You can apply for financial aid. Start by filling out the...

  17. Resources for bacteria lab test results?

    leenak replied to tsm007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Something like Bergey's? Our school library had a copy of Bergey's manual that we used to help figure out

  18. Should I go to a Community College for an Associates in Nursing before transferring?

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

    Hurting your chances? No. I think you are mixing things up though. You have the following options for the most part: Apply to a 4 year school, possibly a pre-nursing program. Once in school,...

  19. Having a hard time deciding whether to get an ADN then BSN or go straight for my BSN?

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

    1) use birth control, 2 kinds if possible. 2) any reason you are in a rush to have kids? The choice is up to you and ADNs certainly have more trouble than BSNs in certain areas. Have you looked at...

  20. Was your nursing program in a dangerous area?

    leenak replied to CNA1991's topic in General Students

    Crime happens everywhere and you are more likely to be killed by someone you know than someone you don't. My first choice school is in a high crime city. There is a lot of poverty in the city and I'm...

  21. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Good luck

  22. Salary in DC Suburbs

    leenak replied to mandolinwalt's topic in Virginia Nursing

    There are plenty of safe areas near DC and even in DC. I've never felt unsafe in DC and I've even been in some of the sketchier parts of town. It is expensive though the closer you get to DC. I was...

  23. Employment in DC area with ADN or BSN program based on my previous education/exp?

    leenak replied to healthyanalyst's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh and what is the BSN program you are applying to? I haven't noticed any 1 year programs. I'm applying to JHU which is 17 months long, they also have a 13 month option. Also either way it's also...

  24. What field of nursing are you interested into going into?

    leenak replied to CNA1991's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty open. I know I don't want to do NICU or L&D. I was thinking possibly pediatrics because I like kids and have enjoyed working with them in the past. I am also intrigued by psychiatric...

  25. Employment in DC area with ADN or BSN program based on my previous education/exp?

    leenak replied to healthyanalyst's topic in Nursing Career

    From what I've seen, many of the hospitals say BSN preferred or even BSN only. If you are willing to look at places besides hospitals, then the ASN program isn't a bad option. The only thing is it...
