I know this forum is for current PA nurses, but I thought this would also be the ideal forum to ask this question. If it needs to be moved so be it. I am an early 30's student who was just accepted into both LCCC's ADN program and DeSales BSN program...

Thank you for your reply...the part time program is the one that is shorter in overall duration(2 years-year round). I was just wondering if the 3 year program might allow me to keep my sanity with a slighty slower pace and allow me to work during wi...

I have been accepted into several BSN programs. I have narrowed it down to two. One is a part time program(typically 2 classes per semester) that goes year round(spring, summer, fall and winter) with shortened semesters. The other is a full time pro...

My A&P practicals were both anatomy and physiology. We would have a cat, fetal pig, sheep, cow or combination of those for the anatomy sections, along with detailed human models including bones in A&P I. For physiology, we would have 20-50 qu...

I have decided to enroll in one of two BSN programs. I intend on getting my advanced practice degree so I decided to earn my BSN now to facilitate that more easily. Now I juts need to decide which program.(PT-2 years year round vs FT-3 years only spr...

I will be starting my junior year and first year of nursing school in the fall. I have no friends who are nurses. I am wondering if someone could give me a heads up/short summary of some things to expect. I am a dedicated student, an adult(32) who tu...

I have worked myself into the type of time management needed for nursing school I believe as I have been in school while working, whereas once nursing school starts I will be PT at most. My first choice right now of the schools I gained acceptance to...

Re the job: Is PCA the most appropriate postion to appy for? Would something like patient transport to start be enough? TIA!

Still struggling with this choice. The ADN program said their students are still being hired after graduation, but I expected them to tell me that. After some leg work, the cost difference would be ~$33k for the BSN and ~$1500 for the ADN. Three year...

I have seen you post thoughtful comments before in my reading on here, but I am sorry if you think it will be worse...you should provide some "reasoning" behind your statement other than there being a "current" surplus in your geogrphic area. On top ...

Thank you for responding. Do you see it improving over the next five years or so like I do? With the bill going down soon, the economy very slowly turning around and the mean age still going up I would expect another hiring surge somewhere dow the ro...

They still hire new grads in eastern PA with BSN's rather quickly.(I believe Stony Brook U in PA is where OP is referring to) When the current bill gets voted down and as the economy slowly picks up, while the mean age keeps rising, their will again ...

nguyency77...really? Intro to Biology was harder than A&P I and II? Those must have been some easy A&P professors even reading you had a difficult professor as far as Intro goes. At my school Intro to Bio vs A&P is akin to Elementary Alg...

1A. Physiological Chemistry(due in part to professor) 1B. A&P II(due to difficulty) ...A&P I was extrememly time consuming due to vast memorization as well.

Likewise! Hahaha I guess my LCCC isn't big enough yet...

Ummm, I just realized this thread's LCCC is not my LCCC. CSU? LCCC for me is Lehigh Carbon Community College....in Pennsylvania. Sorry.

I only have two courses left as well.....plus I have 65.5 credits. Sure, but if they believe taking two or three classes in HS is equivalent to the load I have taken in college, well that would be wrong. Northampton CC - ADN program CSU? I don't thin...

That would be their loss then as I will be a great nurse. I'd prefer the BSN anyway, but if what I have accomplished in school(credits/gpa) is not enough for them to choose me that is their choice. Heck, I know someone that graduated h.s., took one s...

I have all gen ed's and pre-req's completed with at least a B, with the exception of A&P II and Stats, which I have this spring. After next weeks' finals I will have 65.5 credits and a 3.61 gpa.

I submitted my application for LCCC's ADN A.A.S. last week for Fall 2012 consideration. I have also applied to DeSales, ESU and Alvernia for their BSN programs. I hope at least one of the four accept me for fall. Current student at LCCC.
