Dawn, I like teaching, just not the discipline part of it. Someday I will probably teach in nursing school. I think how hard it is to get teaching jobs depends on the area. A lot of time new teachers may have to take a job at a school they don't w...

Dawn, I have a BBA in acounting and an MBA also. I worked in accounting for about 12 years and have also taught high school math for 5 years and some other stuff in between (I'm old ). I've always wanted to be a nurse, though. I figured it is no...

Hi Dawn, I'm Carol Ann. I am planning on going pretty much directly to UAMS and getting a masters as soon as I finish the associates. I already have a bachelors (in business) so I can go directly into the masters program (I do have to have 3 cours...

I have applied to UALR and UAMS. I'll probably go to UALR if I'm accepted to both. It is much cheaper, and they have an accelerated program that lets you shave a semester off, but it is only an associates program.

I have a friend who started there last summer and she has people in her class who had a GPA of 2.5, so it sounds like last year they accepted everyone with a 2.5 and above.

I have been looking into private student loans and I believe the following are still making loans (I'm sure there are more too) Chase, Wells Fargo and Sallie Mae. There is information on line about all of them. I don't know about credit requirement...

I'm going to be starting school this summer and need to start looking at loans. I'll need private loans and won't be eligible for governmental ones. I've got a couple of places to check, but I'm just wondering how hard it is to get one now? I was ...

I am not starting nursing school until summer 2009. When I start I want to get my BSN and as soon as I can (and have the clinical requirments) I want to start on my masters and teach. I have taught high school before so I'm pretty sure that i will ...

From what I have heard it changes every year, depending on the applications. I have a friend who started there last year and she has talked to several people in her class who got in with 2.5's.

Sound good. We can't post professors names on here, but if you want to send me a pm or email and tell me who you have for A&P 1. I've had one of them and worked for both so I might can give you some insight.

klsteve, That is good to hear. Where do you live? I'm in Cabot and I would like to get a carpool group together if it works out. I am working right now at ASU Beebe. I help in the A & P II lab on Tues, Thur at 11:00. I think the A&P clas...

I love your story and questions. It sounds familiar. I'm 48, I have a BBA in accounting, a CPA that's not current, and an MBA. I worked in accounting for about 12 years but I never really liked it or found any job satisfaction. I also taught high...

That sounds great! If I were you though I would advise not trying to take too much this semester. I don't know how it is at UALR because I took my pre-reqs at ASU-Beebe, but A & P 1 and 2 were the hardest courses I've ever taken. They are a lo...

Did you ever get through to get an appointment with UALR? I have a friend who went up and talked to them yesterday, but she already has all her classes too. It sounds like they are pretty busy right now. Keep me posted, maybe we will be in class to...

You don't have to take an entrance exan to get in, however before the program starts you take a pre-entrance HESI , but it just supposed to be a predictor to see how well you will do in the program-it doesn't affect if you get in or not. I don't kno...

the support curriculum classes (from the sheet they gave me at the appt) are Freshman English 1&2, College algebra, A&P 1 and 2 -it does say that A & P 1 is required bfore you enter, Chem 1, U. S. History, a intro to sociology course or p...

I am also applying to UALR's program. Do you have all the pre-reqs done? I think they look at that when looking at applications. Also, they are the only one I know of that makes you come in and talk to them before putting in an application so if y...

Hey! I havent heard anything yet either. It is driving me crazy! I heard you normally hear 3 weeks after your interview and then I heard just some time in December. But, I called in asking a few days ago and they told me that the letters would be sen...

Thanks for the response. Did you do the accelerated track? How many of your class that started with you finished the program? Did you feel it was a fair program? I don't mind hard, as long as it is fair. Thanks.

I am going to start my nursing program this summer. I already have 2 degrees and I'm not eligible for any need based loans (luckily my husband has a good job). I had already decided I would just look at private loans because of my situation also I ...

Hey, I just happened on this thread and then realized it was you. I'm the one who is planning to go to UAMS next summer too. It is really funny because I just (in June) took the CNA class at White County Hosp. in Searcy. I did it mainly for the e...

I went to the info session on Thursday. It was not really much (if any) new information. Most of what we went over is on their web site. They did go over everyone's transcripts and see what people still needed and that was useful. PM if you have ...

From what I have heard I don't think you will have a problem getting in. They have information sessions where you can go talk to their recruiter and bring your transcripts. There is one this Thursday (the 31st) that I'm going to. The details are o...

Where are you taking your pre-reqs? I finished mine but I'm going to help with the A &P II lab at ASU Beebe( I live in Cabot). I'm really wishing I had started the program this summer. All this sitting around is making me anxious. I do have a...

Guess I'm the only one on here now that is planning to go next summer. Are you working now? Are you going to be going to their BSN program or are you already an LPN? I will be starting from stratch as I haven't worked in the medical field before.
