I received an email about it last week

I know..it can be so confusing!

I am going tonight to an informational session on nursing @ Meramec..it will be interesting to see what all they have to say!

I have seen and heard conflicting information or whether it is better to have a associates or bachelor's degree in the current job market. I had an advisor tell me that it only equates to a 50 cent differece in pay. I have had current nurses tell m...

Thank You so much for the reply and all the useful information. I am just starting with my pre-reqs.I have changed schools and if all goes well I will start my clinicals next fall. I am hearing that unless you know someone it is really hard to even g...

I live in Troy. I think that I have decided to go to HLGU..there is no "waitlist" and the drive would be comparable to going to any of the STLCC campuses with the traffic and whatnot. I could never get ahold of several departments at STLCC. I was tol...

I am trying to decide between SCCC, Maryville or UMSL..for nursing. I basically have to start from scratch and do my pre-reqs regardless of where I choose to go. I have heard/read alot of conflicting information in regards to which one is easier to g...

Maryville's wait is 2 years too!! Everywhere that I have spoken to(SCC,STLCC ) is at least a two year wait to get in the nursing program..so initially I was like..well, if everywhere is a two year wait I might as well get a bachelor's..now I am like....

I am currently attending Maryville's WEC program and am looking into changing schools,I am being told by several different sources that it doesn't matter if you have an ADN or a BSN..four + years just seems like such a terribly long time..and then yo...

how frustrated you must be!!

that really is scary..I am gonna be really freaked out when it comes time for demos and testing..wouldn't it be easier to go elsewhere or do you fing yourself kinda stuck? Am I to understand that you can continue with everything else..just have to re...

wow..as a pre-nursing student all of this "dropping" people scares me. Once you are "dropped" is that it for your nursing career or can you re-apply and try again? I would also question that if you tried several times and were dropped if maybe it was...

I had looked into it as well..but, the one thing that detered me from it was the fact that their website states that there is no guarantee that your credits will transfer to another college/university/instution..etc if you wanted to advance your care...

Are you looking to go elsewhere? All of your credits will transfer? right? I am currently enrolled in Maryville's WEC pre-nursing..and I am looking to continue my education elsewhere..due to financial and time constraints! When I tried to withdraw fr...

Thank you!! I really appreciate all the helpful information!!

So if I was accepted to FP and want to take an available hybrid or online course at another STLCC campus..can that be done?

Thanks Abbs..I will try again. I have sent e-mails too! I was accepted to FP for summer..but since I can't get ahold of anyone in order to take the assesment test..it will probably really be fall before I start now!

I basically have to start from scratch..since it has been over 5-7 years since I took my science pre-reqs. Right now I have done college orientation and intro to pysch that will transfer. At Maryville I am currently taking Human dev thru the lifespan...

I live about 45 minutes to an hour away from all the ADN programs (colleges) I also checked into Hannibal LaGrange University. I don't know what they are per credit hour and they only start in the fall for their nursing program. I plan on trying to s...

The problem with SCC..at least for me is that I went there back in 1997 and 2002.Some classes I withdrew from or didn't get that great of a grade or it has been too long so I would have to take again. I have to meet with the heads of several departme...

I have a question for current STLCC students..was it difficult for you to get ahold of someone in the admissions/advising offices? I have left messages and e-mailed both Forest Park and Flo Valley and have not gotten response back! I am currently goi...

From my understanding it can go towards pre-reqs as well..say if you have previous medical experience that knowledge could be assessed and applied towards your credit hours. It would cut out classes and credit hours! And you could get your degree qui...

Yes it is called the Prior Life Assessment..from what I can gather from the website , you take a course and then put together a portfolio and based on that a academic board will review it and determine how many credit hours you have earned through yo...

thanks! I will let you know what I find out! I know to ask obviously about cost, times, length of program..the PLA program, if you can think of anything that may be important as well let me know!

Have you heard about Maryville's PLA program? Did you happen to use it? I really think that I would prefer to go to Maryville. The cost is very intimidating. I would like to know how much it will cost in total and how much financial aid the average p...
