  1. Chances for ABSN program

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

    You probably did better on the GRE than you think! Most programs I spoke with said they prefer candidates with a 500 on both sections with a 4 on the writing. I also took the GRE over the summer for...

  2. Chances for ABSN program

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

    Honestly, feel proud (but not arrogant) and apply with confidence. I think you are a very strong applicant based on the information you provided to us. As for your life challenges, I may or may not...

  3. Please help!!

    spore2008 replied to cbrennan1188's topic in Illinois Nursing

    These questions are always tough to answer because no school publishes a listing of their academic profile of the incoming class. I think Rush GEM looks at the last 60 credits as your GPA. I think...

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

    What type of program are you interested in? Associates? Diploma? Traditional BSN? I asked about the degree earning...no BA/BS means no accelerated BSN programs. I think the allnursing folks gave...

    spore2008 replied to playmaker2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey, thank you for the reply. I am entering an accelerated BSN (ABSN) program in January. For what its worth, I thought about graduate school for genetic counseling, social work and teaching. I am...

  8. Lucky New Grad With a New Job!!

    spore2008 replied to playmaker2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know job searching will be tough. But landing jobs in many professions is tough right now. Should we tell all high school seniors not to go to college because there will be no jobs for them when...

  9. Lucky New Grad With a New Job!!

    spore2008 replied to playmaker2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for sharing your good fortune. Honestly, there has been too much doom and gloom on allnurses about jobs. I am about to begin an accelerated program in January. I am aware that the economy in...

  10. New to Nursing, Having trouble in Stats

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

    I don't think anyone can give you a truthful answer. We simply do not have enough information. Will an F look bad? Yep. Will a W look bad? Not as bad as an F most likely. Maybe you should debate...

    What is this supposed to mean? Don't go to law school because it is hard to get a law job? Don't get a masters in education because it is difficult to get a teaching job? Don't go into science...

  12. Is re-taking classes at a community college a good idea?

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

    Since you have yet to take the bulk of the nursing prerequisite courses, I would focus doing as well as possible in these courses and not focus on repeating courses where you earned Bs. I would also...

  13. O_O So many pathways to choose from!

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

    There are many educational pathways for students who have already earned a bachelors (or higher) degree. I researched my options very carefully before deciding what pathway fits my circumstances...

  14. Is re-taking classes at a community college a good idea?

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

    How many prerequisite classes do you have left to take? Did you graduate from a 4 year university? What type of nursing program are you hoping to gain admittance to? A couple of B's are acceptable...

    spore2008 replied to nibs2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I am waiting for DePaul's packet-o-stuff in the mail! Then I will be able to compare a bit better. I still am interested in knowing more about each program's reputation in Chicago. Also, where does...

  17. DePaul MENP Winter 2012

    spore2008 replied to nibs2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I only ask about reputations because I really do not know the answer. Is a Rush grad more or less or equally likely to get a job after graduation than a DePaul grad? @nibs2, are you going to go to...

  18. DePaul MENP Winter 2012

    spore2008 replied to nibs2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Well, it is highly unlikely that one individual student would attend BOTH programs. I am curious about program reputation and ability to find a job upon completion. Rush has interviews and I saw the...

    spore2008 replied to nibs2's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I thought that would be the price tag. Just so you know, there are well known ABSN programs that are 75K for 15 months. Students are entitled to more money for grad school programs than for second...
