  1. Starting school in Fall-Scared of Chem/Math!

    arciedee replied to Hope2Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with the other posters who have said to make sure you've got the math skills down before you try to tackle chemistry. If that means that you have to go back to the fundamentals and...

  2. UNH Direct Entry Program

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate your insights, this is very valuable. I've recently decided to put off applying until next year to give me a little more flexibility in completing pre-reqs (since I'm also looking at...

  3. New here, question about letters of recommendation for applications to nsg school

    arciedee replied to Sarah Bellum's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am just in the application phase myself and my current job has NOTHING to do with healthcare. But when I spoke with someone at the program I am applying to, she said that a current supervisor would...

  4. what other degrees do you have outside of RN

    arciedee replied to Carotid's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you lasted in the financial services industry far longer than I will... BA in Math, currently in corp finance for lg mutual fund company (going on 5 years). Taking pre-reqs and applying to a...

  5. nursing or ultrasound

    arciedee replied to nursinghelp's topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend who was interested in pursuing sonography. She had a chance to shadow a sonographer and decided that it wasn't a career choice she was interested in. While it is interesting and the...

  6. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    arciedee replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that they are referring to community colleges. The CCs near me are all on semester systems. I think it's just that quarter system courses are shorter (they have to be since the year is...

  7. Accelerated 2nd Bachelor Program?

    arciedee replied to biobarbie's topic in Nursing Career

    Okay, trying to sort out your questions here... Are you talking about classification for financial aid purposes or in general? If you are taking classes without being enrolled in a program you will...

  8. Direct Entry Programs- How hard to get in?

    arciedee replied to GoodyNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First post on this thread, though I've been following along and want to congratulate everyone on their successes... It's nice to see all talk about Boston-area schools, these are some great insights....

  9. trying to find out info on courses

    arciedee replied to tamari52's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest checking out the web sites for programs you are interested in and seeing what they require. I think at the minimum you will need high school level biology and chemistry with labs,...

  10. conditional acceptance to Accelerated BSN program

    arciedee replied to moonberry's topic in General Students

    You're in... They can reject you if you do not finish your prereqs or do but earn poor grades in them, but I'm sure you have no intention of doing either. I think they just do this so that people...

  11. CNA's First??

    arciedee replied to Nurse Hatchett's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious, do the schools require you to have worked as a CNA or just have the certification? While I'd love to get the experience, the reality is that I just can't take a 1/2 to 3/4 pay cut to...

  12. Why did you become a nurse instead of a doctor?

    arciedee replied to GlowBear500's topic in General Nursing

    Up until a year ago or so I pretty much had my heart set on becoming a doctor. I had considered both fields, but felt that medicine was where I wanted to go since there was nothing really stopping me...

  13. Michigan State U accelerated BSN program

    arciedee replied to adelle's topic in General Students

    I've wondered about that too... from what I can tell CCNE only accredits baccalaureate and above level programs. NLNAC accredits ADN programs, as well as higher levels. I'm not really sure what the...

  14. Michigan State U accelerated BSN program

    arciedee replied to adelle's topic in General Students

    I just looked it up, I think they are accredited by CCNE, at least the other baccalaureate programs are, so it should be fine from that

  15. Michigan State U accelerated BSN program

    arciedee replied to adelle's topic in General Students

    Michigan State has a program now? I was thinking of applying to UMich's accelerated BSN, but hadn't heard about MSU's. I'd love to find out more about

  16. UNH Direct Entry Program

    arciedee replied to arciedee's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is a new program, I only found out about it a few months ago... so I'm apprehensive of it from that perspective (I don't want to be the school's guinea pig). Thanks for sharing your...

  17. LNA Questions

    arciedee replied to tleesto's topic in General Nursing

    I think LNA is just what it's called in NH, same thing as a CNA elsewhere. To the OP.... I would check the classifieds of your local paper (not sure where you are) and look for ads for LNAs. You...

  18. ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    arciedee replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    Perhaps as a graduate of a liberal arts school I'm more than a little biased, but it is NOT necessary to major in an easily identifiable "trade" in order to be successful in the work world. I myself...

  19. Possible relocation

    arciedee replied to tvccrn's topic in General Nursing

    Depending on what kind of lifestyle you want... the Lebanon area has some great hospitals that Pasha mentioned, but it's pretty rural up there. I love that area, but if you want something with more...
