Thats a great idea. I currently work at a Pain Clinic doing billing so maybe I can find a job in the hospital and try to make my way in. Tuition assistant/reimbursement would be lovely.

Thank you will do. I am weighing all of my options. I will continue to work for my BSN so I appreciate your kind thoughts!

Thanks that sounds like a great plan. (Taking pre req's until I meet ABSN requirements) As for Chamberlain the school is for nursing only so once I am accepted I will be a Nursing student. I will just be taking pre req's until my Nursing Classes and Clinicals kick in. They have worked a 9 Semester program broken into two sessions per semester. You are correct it is tempting.

That was my initial plan. Unfortunately, the amount of pre req's that I have completed with my BM does not include any science courses. Chamberlain advised that I enter the traditional program and also noted that I may finish a semester early because of my BM credits.

Thank you I will definitely look into applying for scholarships. I know that will help tremendously.

hello all, i am looking for advice on which program would be the most logical in my situation to attend. i have a bachelors of music and have applied to (schools in houston texas) chamberlain school of nursing, houston baptist university, and houston community college. i have been accepted to hcc where i plan to take some pre requisites i did not meet while gaining my bm. i already applied to chamberlain and i am currently studying to take the hesi a2 exam before i can learn of an acceptance. i have already applied at hbu undergrad program and have no idea when i will be contacted to notify me if i was accepted or not. i was told that completing as few as 12 credits will give me preference when i decide to apply to their nursing program. there are three options that i have if i am accepted to all three. ( not sure of the chances that it will happen) 1. would you advise i take all of my pre requisites at hcc (fall 2011) and possibly complete adn and then transfer to hbu? (expected cost for entire program approx. $5,000 at hcc) 2. start at chamberlain (summer/fall 2011) and complete my bsn in three years? $69,000 3. attend hbu (spring 2012) and complete bsn in 4 years? $79,000 since this is my second degree i am hesitant to spend $69,000-$79,000 dollars for a second degree. what would you do in my situation? which has a well known respectable reputation? which would future employers prefer? thank you in advance for all of your help! :) *i currently volunteer at a hospital and i will be applying to cna course during summer of 2011 to start working in a hospital.
