   mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in Informatics

   Sorry I didn't clarify. You're meant to choose 4 of those courses for a total of 12 credit hours. So my next question would be which 4 courses would be the most beneficial.

3. Best Career Path to Take?

   mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

   So it seems like the best thing to do is think about getting a DNP as it's the wisest choice for the long run. Due to that, let me update the choices a bit: 1) Like option 2 above, go to Loyola's ABSN program until mid/late 2014 to have BSN-RN, then ...

4. Best Career Path to Take?

   mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

   I definitely agree, and what I think I forgot to mention was that I more than likely will be working as an RN and do the MSN portion part time (I think pretty much with either option, to finance the degree at the least). However UIC's direct-MSN prog...

   Hello, I'm a university graduate from Chicago holding a non-nursing BS degree, but I have all the pre-req's completed to be able to jump into, say, an ABSN program. My ultimate goal is to become an NP (preferable Family or something related to the ER...

6. non-nursing graduate looking to be a nurse?

   mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

   Would they treat me as a transfer even if i've graduated from elsewhere? And this can be done at basically any school with a bsn program? This is looking like the best option for me, previously I thought absn was my only route.

   mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

   So that leaves me with absn/second degree bsn right? How would I go about doing a normal bsn program considering I'll have a BS psych anyway?

   Another question, how about becoming an RN* and then doing an RN-MSN program (MSN for RNs w/o BSN) such as Resurrection's? *if this was a viable option how would I go about becoming an RN without doing an all out bachelor's program?

   mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

   I didn't know there's that option, thanks! I will look into it. Does the nursing specialty then have to relate to psych?

    mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

    Thanks, that helps a lot, now that my scope is broader - what are good schools in Chicago, other than Loyola?

11. non-nursing graduate looking to be a nurse?

    mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

    So would this mean looking into any ol' bsn program, and not just second-degree/absn programs?

12. non-nursing graduate looking to be a nurse?

    mquddus replied to mquddus's topic in General Students

    That would mean only the nursing classes for those 2 years right, and not gen eds and the numerous science classes I took as pre reqs right?

    I'm a few months from graduating with a BS in Psychology from Loyola Chicago (+ pre-requisites for Loyola's ABSN program) - seeing as there are not many choices for ABSN within the city I was wondering what other paths can I take to become a nurse? ...
