  1. What are my options?!

    None of the schools near you have an accelerated BSN for people who already have a degree in another field? That is what I'm doing right now. It's only 4 semesters (including summer--so 16 months) and I will have a 2nd bachelor's degree in nursing wh...
  2. Honestly, I think they want to read about educational challenges that you have overcome and succeeded in, in the end. Not saying you should or shouldn't mention the organic chem class, but if you do, definitely include the challenges you overcame too...
  3. If it was thrown out, then no.
  4. Will I like nursing?

    I think you'd like it. Maybe you can shadow a nurse or something. That would definitely help you decide whether it is something you'd like or not.
  5. I would go with the one that knows you the best and can speak most knowledgeably of your attributes. Doing well in A&P/science is important, but it isn't the only thing nursing schools look for. Good luck.
  6. Advice on Schedule Please!!

    I took psych and sociology together (years ago--2004) and don't know why there would be an issue with it. However, it is really hard to give advice on what classes to take together or how many classes to take when difficulty and workload varies SO mu...
  7. Am i a nerd

    I think it would be nice to just read over the material before you have the stress of having to memorize it all. I think that would probably make it more interesting. And of course it will help once you are in the class as well.
  8. Is the first semester really the hardest?

    This is my first semester too...and my clinical instructor is definitely NOT abusive. So far, none of my instructors have been. They have high standards, but they are kind, understanding, and supportive. Qualities you would expect from good nurses. I...
  9. A&P or Chemistry.....

    Chemistry.
  10. What class to take with Chemistry?

    I would take psych with chem. Maybe not the accelerated one since you work 40 hrs a week, but I don't think those 2 classes together will be a problem.
  11. Please help with my decision making, oh wise ones :)

    I would definitely go with the ADN program, try to get a job ASAP, and start paying down that debt. With the debt you already have, I would not even entertain the idea of going to private school, unless some major scholarships were involved. Good luc...
  12. Which route to nursing is the smartest option?

    Yes, BSW is Bachelor of Social Work. And times are tough for social workers too. You pretty much need at least an MSW now. Anyway, I would also go with plan B. However, why limit yourself to Loyola's ABSN program? I know it's a good school, but there...
  13. What does this mean (credit) - confused??

    It means that you can't take it (unless you audit the class or something) because you already have a stats course. I would definitely get some clarification from the nursing advisor or whoever that it is okay to use business stats in its place.
  14. Pay Grade: Having an AS vs. a BS

    I have also heard there is not much difference in pay. The advantage of having a BSN is that more job opportunities are available and there are more options for advancement.
  15. I am a nursing major and i want to minor in something

    Minor in Spanish.
