  3. Can Bachelor's degree in other area affect pay?

    spore2008 replied to cljonesfuturenurse's topic in General Students

    I am curious about this as well. I have heard that entry level is entry level. But after some fundamental experience, other degrees may come into play for advancement. I am also starting an...

  5. Nursing with MDS?

    spore2008 replied to bxpansive's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    How about teaching at a community college? If you have an advanced degree in the sciences, you could possibly teach nursing students. I don't think there is any difficulty with you going to school....

  6. Just curious... How much are pre-reqs costing you?

    spore2008 replied to leenak's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Worried about my chances

    spore2008 replied to iowahawks's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Unfortunately, many of the combined degree programs deadlines are fast approaching or have passed. I do know of some programs that have later deadlines. Some combined degree programs will waive the...

  8. Worried about my chances

    spore2008 replied to iowahawks's topic in Male Nursing Students

    How did you pick Colorado, Penn and Miami. I can think of other great places for accelerated BSN programs. Do you think you might be interested in combined degree programs? How important is location?...

    spore2008 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    How will you get accepted into PA school if you are expelled from a Nursing School? I don't think you can make "careless" mistakes as a physician assistant. For example, write a script for 300 mgs...

  10. Educate a dinosaur :D

    spore2008 replied to xtxrn's topic in General Students

    For second degree folks, some of the accelerated BSN programs (definitely not the majority) require the GRE, the Graduate Record Exam-ETS' (Educational Testing Service's) analogous test for graduate...

  12. RN vs. BSN

    spore2008 replied to mmarqua4's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    spore2008 replied to iamomeed's topic in Nursing Career

    As for your expired classes, if you are using the material learned on a regular basis through work or other means, oftentimes the class can be waived. For example, I took Microbiology in 2001 but...

  14. Career shift: I have a BS in Biochem and I am med school drop out advice please

    spore2008 replied to iamomeed's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, I think you will definitely need to address your medical school attempt. You will need to submit all of your academic transcripts. There is no escaping it. And I bet most people on...

  15. The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    spore2008 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    Staragate, sounds rough, almost comical in a sick sort of way. I hope you have regrouped. Though money problems can make us irritable, angry and just plain unpleasant to be around, it is important...

  16. ABSN: SAT scores- how old can scores be before you have to retake?

    spore2008 replied to iridescence89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to call the school. ETS only holds scores for 5 years. Most schools require the scores be sent directly from ETS. I have never heard of an ABSN program requiring SAT scores. In order to...

    spore2008 replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    I needed to pay to prove I am not a criminal in three different ways: State; Federal; Child Protection (State), approximately $60. I also needed to pay for my physical and analysis of my blood titers...

  21. Did you do an Accelerated BSN program?

    spore2008 replied to GradStudent2012's topic in General Nursing

    I think the student's background, education level (BA, MA, PhD, JD etc.), income level, geography, past employment history (teacher, social worker, scientist etc.) , age (21-25; 26-30; 31-35; 35-40;...

    spore2008 replied to slion2012's topic in General Students
