Does anyone know of any schools that accepts nursing credits as a transfer student? I failed out of a BSN program my senior semester and am trying to find a school that will accept some of my nursing courses so I do not have to start over from scratc...

Which state allowed you to test after 3.5 years of graduation? I am having trouble locating a state because many want you to pass before 3 years.

Hi OP, Which state did you receive your nursing license from? I am 3 years post grad and am finding trouble locating a state board that doesn't have a time restriction on when you must pass NCLEX postgrad! Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone! I know there are a few states that do not require a background check in order to receive a license. I currently live in CA and since my misdemeanor is recent, I know my hopes of working in CA are lost now. I'm already in my last year ...

Hello everyone! So I'm going to ask a question that I'm sure many of us want to know. I have made mistakes in my past and I'm getting ready to graduate soon. As many of you know, the pursuit of a nursing career with a criminal background is an ongoin...

I'm sorry, I meant that there are 6 states in the US that are said to not run an FBI background check.

Thank you Nurse Beth, this was very informative. Will be sharing!

Sorry OP, I do not know any ABSN or direct entry MSN programs that place more emphasis on prerequisite grades rather than cumulative GPA. However, there are programs that will only consider your last 60 or 90 quarter/semester units rather than your t...

Haha this made me laugh. Why does it matter if I'm a nurse or not? What extra qualifications are necessary to be able to post my opinion online? It's people like YOU and comments like THAT which undermines any potential valuable influence/advice that...

I am not saying that OP's responses have been stellar, BUT certainly those latter comments would not have transpired had the conversation been stopped with OP's "apology." I do NOT think that VANurse2010's comment was rude, however it is a personal c...

Well, this was OP's response to the comment. Seems fair and respectful enough. Things could've just ended there, however, another member chose to take things further by suggesting OP to change his/her gestures of friendliness, thereby eliciting a "ne...

I'm not sure why some people are taking the "ladies" comment so seriously. Learn to sort through political incorrectness, grammatical/syntax errors, etc and just answer the OP's question. OP is asking for advice, yet others are choosing to hijack his...

That was answered throughout this thread already, you need to do some searching a few pages before.

I do realize that this thread is pretty old but I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. I am a student who was dismissed from my nursing program during my senior semester, so that means most of my BSN required courses are already completed. I am looking ...

Congratulations OP! Thank you for sharing your success story and inspiring me to pursue my dream despite the obstacles in my way. You are a true testament that when one path becomes closed, you find another route to get to your end goal =)

Thank you Dan! I will keep trying. I will not give up on my dream =)

Of course, I know that the school needs to make money as well. I am only looking for schools that will give me SOME credits for ANY core nursing classes I have taken so that I don't start all over from the beginning. I've done extensive browsing on t...

Edit* It will not show as a failing grade in my transcript, but a "W" for withdraw, if that makes a difference.

Hi calicalinurse, I'm just wondering in what type of facility did someone extend an offer for work? Is this a skilled nursing facility? Hospital???

Hi kariace, Here is my situation and you may find it helpful. I have 2 arrests for petty theft (one 8 years ago and one 6 years ago). I was only convicted of the second one (since it was a second offense) and I then got my conviction EXPUNGED (in C...

Hi Cheethaj, Thank you SO MUCH for this post, it has been so helpful. It would mean the world to me if you can send me an email so that I can ask you some questions? I graduate in 2 months and just found out all of the paperwork I needed to gather f...

Hi Lisa, I am in the same exact position you were once in (I was arrested at the same mall, for the same thing). Is there a way I can email you with some questions I might have? I am graduating in 2 months and was just informed of all of this docume...

Thank you SOOOO much for sharing your story! I am in the same situation and this has 1. given me hope for my future 2. gave me invaluable tips for my own situation. THANK YOU!

hey jyang072. For me, I went through private loans. Tuition for the first semester is due within the first week of when classes begin. I was the August 13' cohort, so I paid roughly $12500 for first semester of theory by August. I did not get loans f...

Hi guys! I was put on the waitlist but was offered a position last Thursday! I'm can't wait to meet all of you! Can someone also private message me the facebook link? I can't seem to find it, and I can't send any private messages either.
