In my state, the requirement to even get a PCA/PCT job is to either have your CNA license, have already worked as a PCA/PCT in the past however many months, or have completed the first semester of nursing clinicals (in which you learn all the require...

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, i'm meeting with a different advisor soon and hop...

Thanks MeatballExperience, your input helped a lot! I've been put off by the cost of Chamberlain because I have a family but I feel like i'll just be waisting more time getting the RN now and later having to go back to school to get my BSN. I'm also ...

I have not attended Maryville but I really want to get into their Weekend & Evening BSN program. Which semester did you apply for? I talked with an advisor in the past who told me since i'm a transfer student that I would need to take atleast 20 ...

Does anyone else have input for Chamberlain? I'm at St. Charles Community College finishing prereqs- I have almost all of them done except Chemistry because I put that off for so long :) So I have just about all of the gen eds done for a BSN. I won't...

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 about what they do for a living, I don't see the poi...

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? Geeze, give the kid a break. Most kids just associate...

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 you?

I'm a prenursing student, hoping to start next fall (if i'm lucky) or atleast by fall 2013. Ive been job searching lately and cannot get an interview for a PCT position since I don't have my CNA. I planned on taking the CNA class next spring (when I ...

I'm not a nurse yet, just a student but I wanted to comment on this. I have a male OB and i've had female OBs in the past, totally prefer the male! If I would've had a male RN for any of my 3 children's delivery it wouldn't have bothered me. Some of ...

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 you unless you have atleast that. You should talk w...

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 taking atleast 3 of the 4 science classes before ...

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 until after I get my RN, since they calculate cum...

Thanks for your quick reply! I've been going back and forth between UMSL and Maryville and ideally I want to stick with UMSL since i've taken just about all of my prereqs there and I know that eventually I want my bachelors but after talking to the M...

I just have a question for all of the SCCC Nursing students. What were the requirements to be put on the waitlist? I know at STLCC you have to have Chemistry, Biology done before you can apply and be waitlisted. Is this the same for St. Charles?

So, I just talked to the advisor a couple days ago. He said they do give priority to people with previous Maryville credits- atleast 20 credit hours, minimum. I'm not sure why he told me differently before but oh well. Seeing as how I only need 1 mor...

Is it where they give credit for prior life experiences? I haven't really heard how that program works.

I have thought about staying at St. Charles Community College but if possible i'd rather just go ahead and get my BSN now since I have all of my gen eds done and since my kids are really little, daycare will cost an arm and a leg so it would even out...

Has anyone attended Maryville's Weekend/Evening Nursing program? I'm currently at SCC finishing my prereqs, i've completed just about every gen. ed and science course needed (was at UMSL previously) and i'm looking at Maryville's evening/weekend prog...

Sanford Brown has several locations. I know the one in St. Peters, MO has a BSN program now and the cost is actually comparable to UMSL, Maryville and BJCON, if not less than a couple of those (tuition and fees are listed on their website now). I thi...

It's nice to see some positive comments about Sanford Brown. I'm considering their BSN program. I'm a mom of 3 little ones, ages 7 months-4 years and can't afford tuition and daycare for a regular day program. I've completed almost all prereqs (gener...
