  3. Associate or RN?

    arciedee replied to veronica77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Human Growth and Development Course

    arciedee replied to kayel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't gone yet, it's an evening class (7:40-10:10, ugh!). But I'll definitely let you know. What textbook do you use? Ours is "Development Across the Lifespan" by Robert

  11. Planning ahead and thinking outloud for a minute

    arciedee replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the poster who said if you don't get in this year you could take classes next year that would count towards a BSN. Even if you're not sure at this point whether you'd want a BSN at least...

  12. ***Fall '05 A & P II Club***

    arciedee replied to Annabelle57's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start next Saturday... found out I'll have the same prof as for A&P I... not sure whether that's a good thing or not. He definitely seems to know his stuff but the way he handled the class...

  13. Chemistry...not as bad as I thought it would be!!

    arciedee replied to SDNurseWannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yup, just signed up yesterday, will start on Tuesday. I'm actually looking forward to it, it sounds very interesting. Hopefully the instructor will be

  15. unusual career path: phd to msn?

    arciedee replied to janony's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hmm... can't say as I know of anyone who has gone that path, but I'm sure it's been done. As for coursework, you should probably check out the schools you are interested in to see what their...

  17. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

    arciedee replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I meant it's for non-nurses who have a bachelors in something else. So no

  18. Paying for Accelerated BSN?

    arciedee replied to Hannahhmc's topic in General Students

    An accelerated BSN is one for someone who already has a bachelors degree in something other than nursing. It's usually somewhere between 12 and 18 months

  19. A&P and basic Chemistry

    arciedee replied to fuerza757's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P I and gen chem II together this past spring and found it to be very doable. I work full time so a lot of my "free time" was spent studying, but I never felt overwhelmed. Good

    arciedee replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    arciedee replied to janiebane's topic in General Nursing

    Ah... you won't find many of those. I think I've heard of one or two programs, Deaconess and Excelsior come to mind, but you'd probably want to check with your state BON to make sure that you'd be...

  24. Question about becoming an RN

    arciedee replied to janiebane's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what you're looking at... here is the PDF from the AACN of BSN/MSN programs for non-nurses http://www.aacn.nche.edu/Education/pdf/APLIST.PDF When you go to the school's websites look for...

  25. Question about becoming an RN

    arciedee replied to janiebane's topic in General Nursing

    You have a few options... 1) get an ADN - some MSN programs will accept students who have an ADN plus a bachelors degree in another field, but not all, so this is something you'd want to check into...
