  1. Jeff State under review? Which campus is better?

    cpl_dvldog replied to Newby'sWife07's topic in Alabama Nursing

    First of all your Chem grade does not matter neither will ENG 102, Western Civ, Lit., etc. That is not in the ADN curriculum, that is AS-Nursing. They look at your math 100, your A&P 1 and 2, and...

  2. Jeff State St. Vincent's program

    cpl_dvldog replied to SBarn's topic in Alabama Nursing

    A friend of mine had to withdraw from the nursing program at Bevill during 3rd semester, due to family illness. Instead of sitting out for a year she talked to Wallace and Jeff St about transering in...

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I would suggest you apply to more than just one program. It will increase your chances of getting into nursing

  4. herzing college lpn program

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Sometimes a hospital will hire a male over a female, if both are equal. Since it is technically illegal they don't advertise it. It is acceptable to require a coal mine to hire women, but encouraging...

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    IF she can get in and only have to take NUR 201-204, that is a total of 21 semester hours. So the cost will be approx $10,500, compared to approx $2300 at a Jr. College. I would recommend applying to...

  6. herzing college lpn program

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I am not sure about clinicals, but, unless I am mistaken they do not allow any student to bridge in, except their own LPN's. They require you to go through their entire RN program at a cost of approx...

  9. herzing college lpn program

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    From what I understand what you have for a gpa at the time of application is what they use. The application deadline is Apr. 1st, so you will not have time to complete the spring semester to increase...

  10. herzing college lpn program

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

  11. BSN vs. RN Salary

    cpl_dvldog replied to busylizzy's topic in Alabama Nursing

    For most professions you are paid by the amount of education it took to get that job. That is why engineers, lawyers, doctors, CPA's and such make more money, for the most part, than someone with an...

  12. herzing college lpn program

    cpl_dvldog replied to futurernjap's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Since you have already been accepted I will assume you know the LPN program costs $22,000. If you decide to get your RN you will have to go back there and pay another $25,000, because no other school...

  14. What happened to the shortage?

    cpl_dvldog replied to mmulligan23's topic in Alabama Nursing

    From doing some research I have discovered there is a national nursing shortage, but not really a shortage of nurses in Birmingham AL. It may be because there are no less than 7 schools with a nursing...

  15. Thinking about nursing as a second degree, some advice

    cpl_dvldog replied to Ronn's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Pay attention to what Ester08 said. She is right on the money. Community Colleges are pretty much weeding programs. They admit large numbers of students into the programs, then start weeding them out....

  16. RN to BSN classes needed?

    cpl_dvldog replied to mclaire's topic in Alabama Nursing

    You need to pull up the STARS course list for the school you plan to get your BSN from. They are not all the same. For example, U of A requires inorganic and organic chemistry where UAB only requires...

  17. ??? about Beville State Program

    cpl_dvldog replied to gearbanger's topic in Alabama Nursing

    cpl_dvldog replied to gearbanger's topic in Alabama Nursing

    BSCC requires the TEAS test now. The incoming class this fall had to take it. They only have one RN class each year, and it starts in the fall. I am friends with 3 prior grads of Bevill's RN program....

  20. UAB hiring new graduates

    cpl_dvldog replied to phlegm's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I was told by one of their clinical instructors if you have an ADN you must precept there to get hired straight out of school. Otherwise they want a BSN, or an ADN with nursing

  21. ??? about Beville State Program

    cpl_dvldog replied to gearbanger's topic in Alabama Nursing

    BSCC had two brand new teachers come in this past summer. One I am not familiar with, the other may be a great nurse, but she is definately not a teacher. Jasper11, I am "still on board" also. I am...

  22. Advice for a new RN grad wishing toTravel Nurse to Germany

    cpl_dvldog replied to KatieBrookeRN's topic in General World

    Katie, the program you went through or your GPA means nothing when getting a job. This is because when you pass the NCLEX that tells a prospective employer you have the most basic of knowledge. You...

  23. ??? about Beville State Program

    cpl_dvldog replied to gearbanger's topic in Alabama Nursing

    The teachers you have make all the difference. The brand new teacher I spoke of told the class she had been "teaching for years". I asked another teacher how long she had been teaching and the other...
