  1. Any recommendations on commercial templates? There are several available to assist in formatting papers to the APA format.
  2. Anyone starting @ VCU this summer?

    I'll be one year ahead of you in the accelerated program when you start and graduate in December 2006. Classes for AB's and A2D's are identical the first semester, and all the clinicals courses are identical all the way to BSN. Clear your life for no...
  3. There are several commercial templates aavailable to format APA type papaers and I'm looking for recommendations. Anyone use one and can recommend as outstanding?
  4. Accelerated Nursing School Advice

    I agree with that. I'm in a 5 semester accelerated program which equals 1.5 years. We're busy as well, always studying, but not stressed to the point you described here. It's been a steady pace with only a couple lack of sleep moments. I recommend...
  5. APA Paper Formatting - Anyone using commercial templates?

    I wound up using styleezze simply because it had a free demo to try it out and it worked fine for me. Really cut down on some major formatting headaches due to lack of understanding. Learning as I do. Perrla looked good as well, similar in functio...

  7. How long should you be an RN before starting NP school?

    why wait at all? Physicians don't have to wait. And start practice as new beginners. 1/2 the people I'm studying with in an accelerated program will immediately go on to obtain their masters. And begin practise will little previous experience. Who...
  8. What are the pros of getting your BSN?

    One should not forsake the benefits of a BSN program, such as high quality instruction, if he/she has the qualifications to be accepted to study. Otherwise take the path of study, which is available. It all leads to RN. There after, study for an adva...
  9. Pass/Fail rate in your ADN program

    Some schools weed out after students have started school. Get rid of the one's that they think can't pass the NCLEX. The behavior of insturctors toward students in those schools is crudy as well. I like my ACCelerated BSN program I'm in. They did ...
  10. Accelerated Nursing School Advice

    The diploma program I was in was more butal than the accelerated BSN program I'm in now which is 5 semesters. The diploma program was cruddy with the academics and so I had to spend hours and days pouring over the text books. And that was after spe...
  11. Disappointed about nursing school :(

    Apply as another major or undecided or biology major and take the preq.'s for nursing and the language courses required and then apply to their nursing school or another BSN program.
  12. Why so much IT people switching to nursing?

    one industry sends jobs or it's factory to china, india, elsewhere....... the services and products that industry purchases is no longer needed in the usa as well. For example, all those walmart goods you buy with china printed on the box, well that ...
  13. What are the pros of getting your BSN?

    University study is AMAZING! We get the best of everything. Including instruction, concern for US, the students. It was worth all the agony and effort to attain the grades to be accepted to study .
  14. Why so much IT people switching to nursing?

    there are no secure, enjoyable, technical jobs within the usa anymore.
  15. Accelerated BSN and GPA

    I had a 3.2 for two BS engineering degrees, but then 4.0 for all my prereq's (nutri., anat., phys., micro, dev. psy.) and had already studied two semesters with a 3.5 average at a diploma nursing school when I applied to VCU in Richmond VA. They mus...
  16. APA Paper Formatting - Anyone using commercial templates?

    Does PERRLA do more than cover and reference page?
  17. APA Paper Formatting - Anyone using commercial templates?

    I was looking at some of these. Don't really want to learn another way to format and write papers. Rather focus on content of writing and other studies. http://www.charm.net/~rps/index.htm http://thewritedirection.net/drpaper/dp-home.asp http://www...
  18. What are the pros of getting your BSN?

    I started in a diploma program. It was just OK regarding the actual learning experience. Decided it was not enough and applied to a BSN program and started completey over (after a year at diploma). There's no comparison. The BSN program is incredibl...
  19. Unfair tests?

    And I think it has alot to do with either cruddy and/or lazy teachers. I 'll qualify my ability to state comments about teachers with this. I've alot of education completed (two BS degress and massive continued studies) prior to becoming a nursing ...
  20. PDA-Hardware

    Palm os has more sofware available. Don't get anything that can't accept additional memory, so the minumum palm would be a M125. You will want memory to store the programs. Speed. A palm m125 is sloow, a m500 faster. Newest even better. I thin...
  21. I applied to vcu/mcv in Richmond, VA for entry summer '05. Fingers crossed regarding entry. I'm already studying in a diploma program for RN. Hope the fact that I'm already studying nursing helps "get me in". Unfortunately, none of the nursing cl...
  22. PDA software???

  23. Lost 6 out of 29 from beginning of 2nd semester. Lost 1/3 of original group I started with.
  24. A 4.0 and now this...

    take the job, cut your expenses to the bone, cancel everything, and save every penny, pay off the house, cars, go to school when the ax falls again and have a huge savings account to rely upon.
  25. Clinicals: BSN vs ADN

    That 200+ is for the first 2 semesters. Beginning with the 3rd semester, it exceeds 300 hours of clinical time. And preparation for patients is required. Leaves little time for studying. Crazy buzy nutty diploma school I'm in;so much clinical tim...
