  1. Accelerated BSN at UMB

    leenak replied to vtcaroline's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The current information can be found on the Maryland Higher Education website

  2. Montgomery College, how long?

    leenak replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I was actually just lurking in this thread as I'm taking my pre-reqs for BSN programs at MC although I plan to apply to UMD and others. I wouldn't really feel bad about not getting accepted at UMD,...

  3. explain this to me

    leenak replied to Lanesmama's topic in General Students

    Accredited schools generally won't accept transfer students from non-accredited schools and won't accept any previous classes that were taken. So what ends up happening is non-accredited schools have...

  4. SFSU Pre-Health Professions Certificate Program

    leenak replied to MeliSNstudent's topic in California Nursing

    I've seen pre-health programs specifically tailored for med schools mostly because I think med schools require letter of recommendations/sponsorship from pre-med type advisor. When I went to look at...

  5. "Your application has been accepted by the admissions committee"

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

    You could call and ask but it sounds like they are waiting to review your application until they get more applicants. Doesn't sound like you are in the

  6. Career changers with degrees to become nurses or get msn degree

    leenak replied to Nickita's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on your state, you may be able to take an LPN license exam after a certain time in an RN program. A LPN isn't an RN

  7. Career changers with degrees to become nurses or get msn degree

    leenak replied to Nickita's topic in General Nursing

    You can't sit for the exam to get the license if you haven't completed a program approved by your state's board of nursing. So you'd have to complete a program (diploma, certificate, degree) that is...

  8. At my age, should I forget about upper level degrees?

    leenak replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    I also say do what makes you happy. I'm saving up money for my nursing degree(s). Also, you may be able to get some of your tuition costs paid for by an

  9. Natural Science Major with Nutrition Minor, then GEM program

    leenak replied to Kubu22's topic in General Students

    You don't need a specific degree to do a second degree/entry-level masters program. Do you have an interest in nutrition? I personally think nutrition knowledge is helpful for a health professional...

  10. Nursing for non-nursing Bachelor Degree Students

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

    I would definitely look into second degree BSN programs. They are generally 2 years or less and you'll have a BSN. There are MSN-CNL programs that are also well suited for entry levels like us but...

    leenak replied to SBW4RN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Thanks for taking the time to answer Grey Lady! It

  12. UMSON BSN@Shady Grove Spring 2011

    leenak replied to SBW4RN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hi Grey Lady! I have a few questions that you may be able to answer, I'm still in the process of collecting my transcripts and plan to go to an open house. 1. Chemistry - I've taken a grad level...

  13. Dosage Calculations

    leenak replied to JLV5646's topic in General Nursing

    This might be helpful. I found this on Johns Hopkins website as information for students.

  14. GRE for grad school

    leenak replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    I think looks can be deceiving. I read somewhere that whenever a new test comes out, the average score drops. The benefit of taking the old test first is if you don't do well, you can take the new...

  15. Is making friends in school important?

    leenak replied to CourtneyLR's topic in General Students

    I figure networking is important. You never know who may be able to connect to for a future job

  16. Food for thought

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

    So I had trouble sleeping last night because I was having a bit of a pre-req crisis. Considering what I needed to take and when. Then I figured, it doesn't matter whether the schools I apply to are...

  17. Bad Decision -- Huge Amount of Debt, Need Advice

    leenak replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    Assuming GW is GWU in DC, it is funny because it seems to have one of the cheapest private school tuitions for second degree nursing that I've seen. They do advertise a $40k/year undergrad tuition...

  18. Estimate of Clinical Hours in BSN Program

    leenak replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I am dredging this thread back up :) Actually I found it because I was curious how many hours would be in a BSN program. I'm not sure if any of the programs I've looked have stated their clinical...

  19. GRE for grad school

    leenak replied to labelle777's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to take the GRE, I highly suggest you take it before August 1st, when it changes over to a new format. Even though only a couple backup schools require it, I plan to take it. I...

  20. What do you think of Clinical Nurse Leaders (CNL)?

    leenak replied to onedayitllbeme's topic in General Specialties

    I'm an outsider looking in but the MS-CNL programs I've seen don't excite me as someone who has a BS/MS in a non-nursing field. I have no interest in being in management. I want a MSN but a MSN-NP....

  21. Just starting out

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

    with 3 accelerated classes, you are taking nearly the equivalent of 7 classes at once and working 25 hours a week? That is a bit much. I'd recommend either scaling back on the classes or

  22. just a few questions....why 5 yrs? & only concider gpa?

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

    What school is it? I haven't seen a 3 year BSN program if you are done with

  23. just a few questions....why 5 yrs? & only concider gpa?

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

    Different programs have different requirements. An ADN program tends to have fewer pre-reqs than BSN programs. Also, if you are going for a BSN, generally the first 2 years of school are lower...

  24. Nursing career - Unusual track

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

    The requirement is basically to have 4 semesters of RN training, equivalent to those that have a BSN in order to get a MSN. How you get there may vary. I'm also in the same boat. So even if you...

  25. California State University vs. Private School

    leenak replied to pigbunny's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I don't mean this as a stupid question but do you understand the differences in the programs? The CSUF program is an entry level MSN RN degree (and I verified by looking at their website). It...
