I've been accepted to USF's BSN program for Spring 2015. I'd love to hear from current and former students who can shed some light on the pros and cons of this program. A few specific questions... 1. Why is it most state school programs last 2 years...

Yeah, apparently there are a few ways of obtaining tuition forgiveness, some institutions have agreements with hospitals that will pay a portion of your tuition if you commit to working there for 2 years, etc. Also the military. Damn that is a large...

Thanks again for your reply. How large is the cohort?? Also, have you thought about/looked into tuition forgiveness programs? I hear there's a lot of that for nurses.

Thanks, Kuriin, for your reply. That sounds stressful! Happy to hear that it's a little more spread out, though. I'd never even heard of the HESI exam until now. I wonder if that ultimately makes the NCLEX a bit easier. How many people get expe...

I'll be applying to nursing programs soon but I'm really worried about cost. I'm in my 30s and on my own so I'm concerned about being able to afford school full-time. 1. I had a couple foreclosures a few years back so my credit score is probably cra...

I applied to 4 programs, all state schools, and I've received rejection letters from 2, one of which was my top choice. I did, however, get accepted into the universities as a undergraduate transfer student. Has this happened to any of you? I need...

So do you think because you enrolled in the university that improved your chances of getting accepted into the BSN program?

stephanie -- My cumulative GPA was 3.6, but then I found out they wanted it cumulative from only pre-req coursework, so it might've been higher. I scored an 84% on the TEAS and placed in the 91st percentile. My grades were Anatomy - A, Micro - B, C...

I spent several years taking pre-reqs and took everything that was required. I thought my application was really strong, and I have no idea why I wasn't accepted into these programs, other than that they're highly competitive (all state schools whic...

I appreciate the advice, thanks folks!

I checked the ATI website for exam dates and there are very few this summer, plus they're all sold out through October. This is cutting it way too close for my application deadlines. I'm looking in the Los Angeles area and I may have to drive to Nap...

I'm confused about this...I'm applying to state schools in California (SF State, etc.) and according to assist.org, Chem 60 is an acceptable pre-requisite. But other pre-nursing students tell me you have to apply with Chem 101 under your belt. I do...

What does "developmental" mean exactly? The course I took was 5 units with a lab.

I was just wondering, for those of you in your first year of nursing school or those of you who can think back to when you finished your pre-reqs and entered a nursing program...which pre-req do you think was most useful, applicable, etc. in your nur...

I like your optimism, Phil! I'm not in a nursing program yet either...though I'll be applying very soon. After I graduate I plan to: 1) throw a huge party where I treat my good friends to endless food and booze, 2) take a vacay to somewhere in Eur...

Bigboi, what an awesome idea, taking a pharmacology class!!! I hear from most students that's the toughest subject in the nursing program.

Thanks, all, for your feedback!

Hey guys, I'm finishing up my pre-reqs and getting ready to apply to RN programs for Fall 2012. I'm a very active guy who works out 5-6 days a week and love living life to the fullest including travel, trying new activities, hobbies, etc. I understan...

Thanks to you all. I fully expected a range as far as perceived difficulty of the nursing programs, but I'm happy to read that you all think I'll have some time to work out. Great advice about balance, time management, and studying smarter, not har...
