  1. Nurse anesthetist

    leenak replied to jameslfaught's topic in General Students

    I don't want to be a CRNA or work with babies. I do love math and science

  2. $50,000 for post-Bachelor BSN!

    leenak replied to weirhead69's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    $50k sounds about right for a 2 year BSN/Accelerated BSN program in a private university, if not somewhat on the low end. In my area, the private schools cost between $50k-$70k. There are cheaper...

  3. ASN nursing student with a BS &MPH is BSN NECESSARY????

    leenak replied to Bridgettea83's topic in General Students

    ASN and BSN are both RN degrees. Neither is more advanced. The only thing you may run into is that you may not be eligible for certain jobs without a BSN. Having an existing MS/BS in another field...

  4. Are "pre-reqs" really pre-reqs? and more...

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

    Most schools will list their pre-reqs on their website and the pre-reqs are truly pre-reqs. I'm only looking at BSN programs myself and they won't even look at your application if you don't have the...

  5. BSN or BS

    leenak replied to ERsn's topic in General Students

    There was a post about this not too long ago. They are equivalent. Schools with BSN degrees have their own separate nursing program. Classes you take will be with other nursing students. Schools...

  6. I just realized nursing is my dream job

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

    when taking your pre-reqs, you can choose how many classes to take. If you are taking financial aid, then you would have to decide if you are full-time or part time and that may dictate how many...

  7. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    leenak replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    There are also other jobs out there. I've known a few people who were Doulas although I don't know much about doulas but if you want to be involved in the birthing process, seems like a good way to...

  8. Crappy PreRequisite Grades...Trying to apply for ABSN

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

    I feel for you, I really do. There are two questions you need to consider. 1) Are you eligible to apply to an ABSN program I've looked at many ABSN programs and most of them state you need at least...

  9. Just starting the Journey...

    leenak replied to tex42cares's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Come on in, the water is fine! :) I started at the beginning of this year. I only took one class (Intro to Bio for science majors) and I was scared out of my mind. It was a great class and I did...

  10. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    leenak replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I dunno, that is how I feel about obstetrics and babies :) The question is... what happens if you get through nursing school and can't find a job in

  11. Microbiology... prof has horrible rating on RMP

    leenak replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does the professor have any positive ratings on RMP? Micro isn't an easy class and some people think it is the professor when it is really the material. I took Bio with a teacher that had mixed...

  12. New career path in nursing in another state

    leenak replied to ib021's topic in General Students

    Can you go to school locally and then apply to work in the area? The problem with state schools are that they have lots of applicants. You may have better luck with a private school and cost...

  13. Would you sacrifice to be able to go to nursing school

    leenak replied to vintagemother's topic in General Students

    Move to a smaller apartment. Sacrifice although if you can get rid of your husband now, do it. Otherwise you may end up paying him alimony if you go to nursing school and get a decent paying job....

  14. Finally found my dream, but...

    leenak replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once you finish your anthropology classes you can apply for graduation but that doesn't mean you have to graduate. When I got my first BS, I actually stayed on an extra semester. I wanted to take a...

  15. Finally found my dream, but...

    leenak replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can afford it, I'd continue on at GSU - ie don't graduate. Take the pre-reqs there then apply for a BSN program. Otherwise graduate and take your pre-reqs at a community college. You could...

  16. Am I crazy to take Statistics for my 1st pre-req during the summer?

    leenak replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on your school on how math intensive the statistics course will be. I took a very math heavy statistics course but it also listed Calculus as a pre-req for the course. I hadn't...

  17. im selfish? hmmm

    leenak replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm another childless by choice person although I'm not sure what areas I'll like once I get into nursing school and real world working. The funny thing is I really like children but couldn't imagine...

  18. ABSN BSN or ADN?

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

    Most full time ABSN/BSN programs discourage you from working even part time while in the program. Usually the programs are 4 days per week with varying hours but typical seems to be something like...

  19. ABSN BSN or ADN?

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

    ABSN programs are generally very competitive and many will state a required undergrad GPA which is usually 3.0 although some may be higher. They will also weigh the grades of your pre-reqs and some...

  20. ABSN BSN or ADN?

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

    2 year BSN programs are full time programs. The only major difference between ABSN programs and BSN programs is that the ABSN programs have less breaks meaning you don't get a summer break and other...

  21. All you smarty pants!!!! Help me please!!!!!!

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

    So personally, I don't think your essay is very good but that doesn't mean you can't tweak it with some focus. What instructions are you given? You mention these two things "what are your goals in...

  22. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    leenak replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many people work their butt off to go to college and there are many competitive programs, nursing isn't the only one. Although I highly respect RNs, I personally don't expect to be an RN for too...

  23. Applications & transferrings credits

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

    Ask them to review your transcripts? I can't imagine they wouldn't take your AP class. uUless they specifically name Bio as a pre-req, then I don't think they'd care. The only way to know is to ask...

  24. Need a little help deciding

    leenak replied to Weezy24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am going to school part time fulfilling my pre-reqs and I thought it'd take a while but it will only take 1.5 years. I am going to apply to 2 BSN programs and 1 ABSN. The ADN programs are all 2...

  25. Should I study nursing?

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

    There are a variety of health related jobs out there and it sounds like you aren't too sure. I'd suggest just generally looking into the various careers possible in the health field, doing some...
