  1. How can anyone really decide

    leenak replied to moneyline702's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 35 as well and I'd recommend looking up 'med school hell' :) I don't know, many older med school students aren't happy and seem to regret it. You could look at PA programs or the various nursing...

  2. Taking A&P Online

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

    I would ask the schools. If you happen to take a course from a school 1000 miles away when you never lived there, I think they can figure out it was an online course. My first choice school already...

  3. Should I pursue nursing?

    leenak replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I don't understand traditional nursing programs enough to say they would be a good idea as a bachelors for med school. From what I've read, it seems like a lot of your classes are 'fixed' in...

  4. Should I pursue nursing?

    leenak replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was pre-med way back when. I gave up 'the dream' because it stopped being a dream for me. I realized that I honestly did not want to spend 8 years in school + residency. I maintained an interest...

  5. What jobs in healthcare are most satisfying?!

    leenak replied to livefaithhope's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I've been sort of in the same quandry. I have a BS in another field. I looked at PA programs near me and there aren't many and they require a year working in the healthcare field before applying...

  6. WHC, Veteran Affairs, or Children's employees - How is your commute?

    leenak replied to opensails's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I live in Maryland and personally I like MD more than VA. I would say public transportation is the way to go if you are going to work in DC. Driving in the WMA (washington metropolitan area) can...

  7. Nursing school in MD

    leenak replied to lunchboxPM's topic in General Nursing

    A little googling discovered this: Online Nursing Program Overview Looks like CCBC has a Paramedic to RN bridge

  8. prerequisite grade question

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

    I haven't taken any lab classes in a while but I always thought they were separate classes. Usually the lecture is 3 credits while the lab is 1 credit. You shouldn't need to retake the lab but I'd...

  9. prerequisite grade question

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

    You could ask your prospective schools but I don't think a C- is going to be acceptable. I'd

  10. CNA prior to BSN?

    leenak posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen it mentioned here a couple times where people indicated their schools required you to be a CNA before going into a nursing program. None of the nursing programs I've looked at mention...

  11. new grad RN looking for job. help!

    leenak replied to peds_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was recently looking at Washington Adventist and they had a ton of RN job listings. Also, look at indeed.com if you haven't

  12. Conversation starter...what are your nursing career goals?

    leenak replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in General Students

    I'm planning on getting my BSN, not sure exactly what I want to do, as long as it isn't with babies (of course my luck would be that I end up working with babies). Then I want to move on to a MSN. I...

  13. Term paper advice pleaseee!!!

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

    Oh 10 pages shouldn't be too difficult. I had to do a 100 page paper once and that took a lot of pre-planning and

  14. Term paper advice pleaseee!!!

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

    You might want to look up information on research papers. Also, does your professor want MLA or APA format? You might want to ask if he/she hasn't said. I'm guessing APA if it is a psychology...

  15. How many more math classes will I need?

    leenak replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Students

    The BSN programs around here require statistics. I just took statistics last semester and it was a very math intensive class with lots of calculus. I'm not sure if that is normal for statistics...

  16. May '11 grad in KY wanting to move to phoenix

    leenak replied to newnursein2011's topic in General Nursing

    I know some people in Arizona/Phoenix and Arizona was heavily affected by the housing crisis in California. People moved to Arizona to escape rising California housing prices and as a result,...

  17. Question about accelerated BSN program and licensing in Maine

    leenak replied to sully75's topic in General Nursing

    Contact the BON? From what I've noticed here, the only real difference from ABSN and BSN programs are that you don't get breaks like summer so they are equivalently the same school

  18. ADN or BSN?

    leenak replied to KamTjam's topic in Maryland Nursing

    That is very exciting about Hood. I live in MC but Hood is definitely closer than Baltimore or other options. Hopefully they'll start up a 2nd degree BSN program too :) I looked at MCC and they...

  19. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    leenak replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and I figure I'll share a few of my stories although none are really scary. In terms of death/people knowing they are going, etc. When I was in high school, I had an uncle who was dying of AIDs...

  20. ADN or BSN?

    leenak replied to KamTjam's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Oh that link I posted says that Spring 2011 at FCC is full so you'd have to wait for Fall if you met the

  21. ADN or BSN?

    leenak replied to KamTjam's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Why not apply to both and see what happens? FCC (I'm assuming Frederick?) seems to be pretty competitive Frederick Community College: Courses and Programs Health Care If you get into one but not...

  22. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    leenak replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a super scaredy cat! I'm not even doing my pre-reqs yet, not sure if I can handle nursing if I have to deal with 'the other world' as well as this one :) I wanted to tell a funny story though. I...

  23. MJC pre-reqs qualif. for admitance to CSU Stanislaus, or no?

    leenak replied to collegegirl209's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd advise you to talk to an admissions/advisor type person at either program. Since they are both state schools, they should be familiar with what their requirements are and what would be applicable...

  24. How did you cover your tuition costs?

    leenak replied to CSellers3's topic in General Students

    I'm not going to nursing school yet, my first choice option is that I will go to a state school part time while working. I'm also saving money right now to pay for the tuition as well as reduced work...

  25. Things you wish you had worked on before nursing school ?

    leenak posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, I wasn't sure if I should ask this in pre-nursing or here but I was wondering if there was anything you wish you would've studied/done prior to nursing school or even taking your pre-reqs? I...
