   barnettdcm replied to nevergivingup83's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for the Maryville info! I talked to an advisor last spring (2011!) and he said since I didn't have 20 credits at Maryville it would be highly unlikely that I could get in. Very frustrating. So,...

   barnettdcm replied to Kuniklo's topic in General Nursing

6. Fake Nurses

   barnettdcm replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

   I didn't say that it is equal, I said maybe she was trying to explain to her child what she does and was telling him she helps take care of patients, like nurses do. I'm not okay with adults lying...

7. Fake Nurses

   barnettdcm replied to Girlygirl69's topic in General Nursing

   Is it really that big of a deal that a 7 year old thought his Mom was a nurse when she's a nurse assistant? Seriously? Maybe his Mom explained that she was like a nurse? That she helps the nurses?...

   Congrats on the job! I would love a PCA/PCT position but no one will even call me for an interview since I don't have my CNA. Are you a CNA? Or will they train

11. Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

    barnettdcm replied to Libra_8's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I have to correct my previous post. The point system is for the traditional and the part time program. The accelerated has a higher GPA requirement(3.2 minimum I think) and they won't consider...

12. Applying for UMSL's 2010 accelerated BSN program

    barnettdcm replied to Libra_8's topic in General Nursing

    They give twice as many points for your science GPA than for your other GPA so if you have more science classes to take, finish them before applying. The advisor I talked to (Jill) said she recommends...

    I'm going to apply for Fall 2012. Seems like a really good program. How difficult is it to get in to? I had a terrible first year of college (in 03) and have hardly any shot getting into a BSN program...
