    leenak posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I know some areas are cheaper than others and others may be getting scholarships but how much is out of pocket? I am taking classes at my cheapest option which is my local community college This is...

  2. Just curious... How much are pre-reqs costing you?

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

    I am originally from California so that was definitely one of the areas I expect classes to be cheap. In MD, the tuition rates actually dropped, a single lab class used to be over

  3. No wait list at my school

    leenak replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in California Nursing

    Isn't West Coast University also $100k? I'd think if you live in California and are considering a for profit school, I'd look to other states. I'm looking at Johns Hopkins and their BSN program is...

  4. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    leenak replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    My mom and myself always considered ourselves 'sensitive'. My mother's father recently passed away and I live across the country from where he lived. On the night he died, my bedroom light went on...

  5. Need all advise for switching career from business to nursing

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

    I actually asked my boss about this because we have been having multiple rounds of layoffs and I wouldn't be surprised if another round occurred around the time I plan to start nursing school. He...

  6. What are my chances?

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

    No one can tell you your chances except the school itself. State schools tend to be more competitive because of lowered tuition and some schools like a second language, previous volunteer work or...

  7. Georgetown Accelerated BSN Spring 2012 Entry

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

    For you that are in the WHC program, is it true that you can't work in pediatrics? I'm not set on pediatrics but I'd like to not lock myself out of pediatrics for 3 years. Georgetown looks to be the...

  8. Educate a dinosaur :D

    leenak replied to xtxrn's topic in General Students

    They are private, but not "for profit". Johns Hopkins and George Washington. The state school, University of Maryland, asks for the TEAS. Also, I think things have changed because of the high volume...

  9. Need all advise for switching career from business to nursing

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

    I plan to quit my job when I go to nursing school but I am also married. Our income will be cut nearly in half but we'll make it work. To compensate, I've started budgeting so that we live only in...

  11. micro

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

    Yeah, I'm in micro right now and I love it. The hard part is having faith that your agar plates will grow how you want them to and that your tests are conclusive enough to be determinative. I get...

  12. Summer Entry 2012 Accelerated BSN Johns Hopkins

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wish you guys lots of luck! I started my application the other day. Guess I better start asking for references and what not. I was waffling on applying BSN/MSN or just BSN. I believe they...

  13. UCI or CSULB for an undergrad nursing major?

    leenak replied to xiaowenx3's topic in California Nursing

    I don't know about transferring from a UC and preference but in terms of nursing, I don't think there is a preference toward CC students. I transferred to UCI from a private school when I went to UCI...

  14. UCI or CSULB for an undergrad nursing major?

    leenak replied to xiaowenx3's topic in California Nursing

    My suggestion would be to go to CSULB, get your pre-reqs done then try to transfer to UCI's nursing program. I went to UCI over 10 years ago as another science major (Comp Sci). I heard the Bio...

  15. Any pre req takers? What pre reqs?

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

    After this semester, I only have AP 1 & 2 to do. I may have to retake Chem to apply to one school, I still need to consult with them about it. I may need to take Ethics to go to another school...

  16. Nursing Schools Doubts; Is This for Me?

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

    I think you should do something else. Life is too short to do something you don't want to do. How do you think your family will feel when you come home miserable from a job you

  17. Any non-resident UCLA students? UCI? CSUSM?

    leenak posted a topic in California Nursing

    I went to UCI for undergrad but have since moved out to the east coast. I'm planning on making a move back to California for family reasons. I see my options as the following: Finish pre-reqs here,...

  18. Seeking guidance in pursuing a career in Nursing.

    leenak replied to afoster1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm currently saving money like crazy but I'm also married. I have enough money in the bank to pay for tuition but my husband's salary will be covering living expenses when I go to school. Another...

  19. Help Finding a School

    leenak replied to ryanm7277's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well accepting you for a community college really means 'yes you can take classes here'. I'm taking pre-reqs at a community college but I don't plan to go there for nursing. It is also generally...

  20. Help Finding a School

    leenak replied to ryanm7277's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Any community college you apply to for their nursing program, you are in once you are in. You just have to take the pre-reqs first. Depending where you are at, it is best to look at your county...

    leenak replied to MarwaT's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not applying for summer but do plan to apply for Fall. I'm lucky in that I have saved up the money for tuition as I am a career changer. I don't want to leave Maryland so don't plan to apply to...

  22. Fundraising ideas?? please help

    leenak replied to TheLisaMac's topic in General Students

    I would agree that usually the cost/effort for fundraising is rarely worth it but one thing you could do is a walk-a-thon or something similar. You could also try doing a raffle and get local...

  23. Microbiology anyone??? How do you study????i

    leenak replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love Micro. Does your book have questions at the end of each chapter? If so, I'd make sure you do those. Read the book, write out definitions. Try to understand various processes and write those...

  24. Apathy in nurses and students

    leenak replied to freki's topic in General Students

    I agree that you have to bring value to get students involved. I am going to be applying to schools that are at least an hour commute although I'm also looking at public transit options that would...

  25. Community College? You must be stupid.

    leenak replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    Community colleges are great and I'm grateful I have one I can take pre-reqs at. The school I go to has a highly competitive ADN program which I think is great even though I will be going for my BSN....
