  1. Already have a B.S.

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

    Yeah, my state school has an accelerated entry level MSN-CNL but no accelerated BSN. I am considering doing the 2 year second degree BSN because the idea of doing an externship during the summer...

  2. Already have a B.S.

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

    Schools vary though, that is a pretty big difference. For my local community college, the ASN program is about $6k total while the BSN program at the state school is about $15k. I'm lucky though...

  3. Already have a B.S.

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

    It depends what your goal is and how you want to work the finances. An ABSN program is anywhere from 13 to 18 months. They are generally more expensive and require more pre-reqs. If you plan to go...

  4. allnurses.com helpful to busy students or an unnecessary distraction?

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

    So today I went looking for another forum someone mentioned and I found a forum on Native American nursing! I can't believe there is an entire sub forum dedicated to it. I am heavily considering...

  5. Non-nursing major graduate wants DNP!

    leenak replied to AshleyPCA's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Is your goal to be a NP or is it just to say that you have a doctorate? As I understand it, current MSN-NPs will be grandfathered in but schools just won't have that as an option. If your goal is to...

  6. Did you know about nursing school before you were working towards nursing school?

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

    None of the programs I've looked at require a CNA, yet. Although I've seen others mention that. Mostly everything I've learned about nursing, I learned here or by reading information on different...

  7. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    leenak replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I spend 30 minutes/week on Facebook. I don't friend any coworkers, period. I also rarely post. Now if I started friending professors and what not, I think I'd just create a new account for...

  8. ASN or BSN???

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

    I would go to UCLA. I graduated from a UC myself and think they are still a relative bargain in terms of educational costs. You will be further along towards your end goal along with having a good...

  9. George mason pre-req ? Biomedical ethics

    leenak posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    I've seen a few comments from people stating they are out of state and applying to George Mason. I live in MD and am mostly interested in UMD and Johns Hopkins but also looking at VA/DC schools. One...

  10. So Fustrated!! Please help!!

    leenak replied to acollin6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you look at the sticky for a&p help? https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/p-help-my-334360.html For me, it helps when I explain things to someone else. Talk yor cat, house plants,...

  11. 1st year student with a slight fear of needles

    leenak replied to rach_006's topic in General Students

    I am the complete opposite although I wasn't always that way. I used to tense up so badly that taking my blood was a pain. When I was a teen, a nurse told me that if I didn't relax, she was going to...

  12. pre-nursing vs. LPN vs. ??

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

    LPN programs tend to be certificate/vocational programs and wouldn't fulfill requirements for secondary BSN programs. I am working on the pre-reqs myself. I just signed up for a community college...

  13. Jr at UofTexas, want to be a nurse HELP!

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

    I would suggest looking at all schools that you plan to attend. Microbiology, anat&phys, statistics, nutrition and human development all seem to be pretty common. I've seen abnormal psych,...

  14. Jr at UofTexas, want to be a nurse HELP!

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

    Depending on whatever is better for you financially, you could also take the pre-reqs at your current school and extend your graduation. That way you would finish your pre-reqs and graduate at the...

  15. Should I take Physiology in the summer?

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

    8 weeks seems doable to me. My school has 5 week summer classes and there is no way I'd take a 5 week lab class but some students

  16. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    leenak replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm a part time student and I only need to take pre-reqs. I'm taking 1 class this semester, 1 accelerated class over summer and plan to take micro with another class in the fall. I keep flip...

  17. Catholic University of America - Washington, DC

    leenak replied to stelat2010's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend who graduated from the CUA nursing program recently and all she told me was that she wouldn't recommend going there. I had looked up NCLEX pass rates a while back and I'm pretty sure...

  18. Nursing schools in DC area

    leenak replied to Kkalasa's topic in General Nursing

    McLean is in Virginia. I'd recommend looking at NVCC, they have a variety of programs including a hybrid online program. http://www.nvcc.edu/future-students/index.html Overall, if you are going to a...

  19. So frightened of the dire job market

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

    Those that employ nurses have a vested interest in an oversupply of nurses. There are also a lot of schools, especially for-profit schools that are making a lot of money. I am also taking pre-reqs as...

  20. Back to the drawing board...again!

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

    I'm 35, 36 next month and my advice is that time is going to pass no matter what. If you are interested in a BSN, then I'd advise going that route. My only concern would be, were the tattoo policies...

  21. Nursing schools in DC area

    leenak replied to Kkalasa's topic in General Nursing

    There are a ton, depending where you plan to live as well what type of degree you are going for. If you are planning to live in DC itself, check out the DC programs sub forum...

  22. need advice: ADN, BSN or entry-level MSN?

    leenak replied to goldenbear23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone on a similar path, i wouldn't suggest doing the ADN. I know there are some programs that allow you to do a second degree BSN and MSN in the same program, Yale does it, Johns Hopkins does...

  23. General Nursing School Prerequisites??

    leenak replied to smallwonders07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not sure why a 4 year old thread was resurrected but the only programs that require a previous degree are 2nd degree programs. I'm not sure if it would help anyone but there are about 10 or so nursing...

  24. Rejection from ABSN programs...now what?!

    leenak replied to MSizz327's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only see USF in Tampa Bay. Other option is to apply again or if you are willing to relocate, you could apply to programs outside your

  25. Rejection from ABSN programs...now what?!

    leenak replied to MSizz327's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there other second degree programs in your area? Even non-ABSN ones? Have you applied to those? There are ABSN programs in my area but I figured out the math and even though it'll take longer,...
