  1. Who all is waiting to apply/hear back for Fall 2012?

    whattodo4 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    still waiting on one school, 2 other schools that are kinda waiting (have to call them up and clear a few things) On the bright side I got into Drexel, at least that what it says on my drexel account,...

  2. Drexel University accepted nursing BSN Co-op fall 2012

    whattodo4 replied to REESEE10's topic in School, College Programs

    to those who got into drexel nursing, are you in as a general student (who will later apply to the nursing program) or are you admitted as a nursing student

  3. Summer 2012 - Check in

    whattodo4 replied to SopranoKris's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stats summer 1 and AP 2 summer session 2. That is all the pre-reqs done, no more

  4. Pre-nursing student distress!!

    whattodo4 replied to jrhend1012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, we are about in the same situation finishing up prereqs, about to apply etc... I know its nervous and aggravating as heck I hate being called a "pre nursing student" I want to be called a "NURSING...

  5. You're majoring in nursing?...then your guranteed a job!

    whattodo4 replied to camjones's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Apparently if a grad wants a guaranteed job then he/she should major in Engineering, apparently the placement of engineers especially Petroleum Engineers is very good and I hear the money is too very...

  6. Pre req advice/ Mountainside School of Nursing

    whattodo4 replied to MadelineM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AnP can be tough because there is simply a lot of material however as with most things it will depend on the teacher. I would avoid a Lisa Marie Moore-she is my current teacher. We started out with 30...

  7. Pre req advice/ Mountainside School of Nursing

    whattodo4 replied to MadelineM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Full time students usually go 3-4 classes about 12-15 credits. Id say take as many as you feel comfortable with but I would not spend more than 2 years on pre-reqs. If you are thinking of doing the...

  8. What is your back up plan, what should I do?

    whattodo4 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alright so I have applied to 10-11 nursing programs, a part of me thinks that is overkill, however with how competitive getting into a nursing program is, methinks I should be shooting for 20......

  9. Pre req advice/ Mountainside School of Nursing

    whattodo4 replied to MadelineM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hmm I am currently taking Anatomy and Phys 1 at essex county, I also have a degree and my only science courses from that degree was BIO 101-102 and Chemistry, I did not have any trouble regstiering...

  10. What is your back up plan, what should I do?

    whattodo4 replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aye the accelerated programs they don't tell you the truth , the online info says 3.0, 3.3 etc... but honestly if you don't have the 3.8,.3.7 you are not getting in. 3.9 and still no, bloody rough......

  11. How competitive is it "really" to get into a Accelerated BSN?

    whattodo4 replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aye what the website says vs who officially gets in is quite different. Tis very valuable to hear from people who got

  12. How competitive is it "really" to get into a Accelerated BSN?

    whattodo4 replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    500 apps for 48 spots heh, sounds like most Accelerated BSN programs. Thanks all for the insight, it is much better to hear it from the students than the "offical"

  13. Should I earn my LPN first and then just bridge over to RN?

    whattodo4 replied to britney705's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN straight away I believe would be best if you plan on bridging right away from LPN to RN. Of course that is easier said than done, with wait list, the difficulty of getting into a nursing program...

  14. Getting the truth about the "real" gpa required

    whattodo4 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So today I had the pleasure to talk to a young women who last year transfered into the Nursing program I am aiming to transfer into next year (will find out in June). Asked some standard questions,...

  15. Getting the truth about the "real" gpa required

    whattodo4 replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh my application is already in, I know I won't hit the "real gpa" but I am not withdrawing, the worse they can do is "Sorry try again next year". Though like I said I wish they would be a little more...

  16. Getting the truth about the "real" gpa required

    whattodo4 replied to whattodo4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    amen to that brother,never trust the sticker price- sort of like buying a car. Though just for kicks I think it would be fun/interesting if a school did actually post what gpa they admit. The way I...

  17. Why are Nursing Programs so hard to get into?

    whattodo4 replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    it is a bit ridiculous when one thinks about it. You hear again and again about this nursing shortage, America will be short xxxx nurses in 2020 etc... At times I am start to think the nursing...

  18. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

    whattodo4 replied to lyndseyx3x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aye I want to reinforce the job thing. I hear lpns are having a hard time of it job wise, then again who isn't but with hospital work nonexistant for lpns you will have to look

  19. Is a $13,000 LPN program worth it?

    whattodo4 replied to lyndseyx3x's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    13,000 sounds pretty dam good, most of what I find are around the 16-20k area-ew... if I am paying that much at least give me a associates

  20. What is the hardest course you have ever taken and why?

    whattodo4 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    right now it is AP1, not micro which surprised me quite a bit. Its just with AP there are so many little details and if you did not read that one sentence, if you read the chapter the paragraph, but...

  21. No More LPN programs

    whattodo4 replied to hoosier guy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    ah so it is a money reason more than "Lpn education cannot keep up with today's hospital environment" . I guessed as much. Which makes me wonder if in the far distant future when climb out of the...

  22. Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

    whattodo4 replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to the transfer program in Newark, and i know people will say rutgers, community college, X is easier to get into than Y etc.. are not that competitive etc.. nonsense, utter nonsense with...

  23. Anyone waiting on Acceptance/Rejection Letter '2012

    whattodo4 replied to PedsHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also waiting, applied to many 4 year programs as a transfer student and to 2 year ADN programs. All I know is Rutgers will get back to me in June, for the other programs I have no idea. I assume June,...

  24. No More LPN programs

    whattodo4 replied to hoosier guy's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I do wonder why the shift away from hiring lpns in a hospital setting? Was it sudden, gradual, is this phasing out just a "phase" and there will be a time when LPNs are hired again for hospital work?...

  25. How is the job situation?

    whattodo4 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    So I am wondering if any current or soon to be LPNs can give me a little insight as to the job market for LPNs now. I realize that the chances of getting hired at a hospital atm are slim- I am alright...
