  1. How Intense are Master entry programs?

    arciedee replied to lc3's topic in Post Graduate Students

    First off, congratulations! I'm in a direct-entry clinical nurse leadership program, started in January. Currently we've got two full days of lectures and two full days of clinicals per week. We have...

  2. BS in Chem, Quickest path to RN?

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

    To add to what others have said, besides accelerated BSN programs there are also direct-entry MSN programs. Associate's degree or diploma programs are always an option, too. As others have said, you...

  3. UNH Direct Entry

    arciedee replied to CapeJaz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm actually in the 4th cohort, just started this January. I believe the first class graduated last May. They did change the curriculum starting with my class, though, which has streamlined the...

  4. UNH Direct Entry

    arciedee replied to CapeJaz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student in the program. What are you interested in knowing? Also, there will be an info session at UNH on the 8th at 6:30 and a few of my classmates will be there to talk about their experience....

  5. Help! choose Duke BSN or UVa MSN?

    arciedee replied to Mintaka's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Disclaimer: I'm a direct-entry CNL student, myself, though not at UVa I would actually suggest the MSN route mostly because I see that your #1 nursing choice is education. I'm not sure where you're...

  6. 18 y/o RN!

    arciedee replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    kukukajoo, I know that the voc center at the high school in your town offers a health sciences program that allows the students to become LNAs, but I, too, would like to see they bring the LPN...

  7. Alright, so what school are you all going to choose?

    arciedee replied to roxxy3773's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that you're going to be going to clinicals in different places one or two days a week, too. I don't know if any of the schools you're looking at give you any sort of choice in clinical...

  8. Anyone hear from NHCTC-Manchester yet??

    arciedee replied to roxxy3773's topic in General Nursing

    The NCLEX pass rates are here:

  9. Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

    arciedee replied to Talulah117's topic in General Nursing

    roxxy3773, NHTI has an articulation agreement with UNH as well (they also have one with the University of New England in Biddeford, ME). I'm not sure the details, but I'm sure your contact at the...

  10. Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

    arciedee replied to Talulah117's topic in General Nursing

    I just checked the NH Board of Nursing website and the rates are actually pretty comparable between UNH and Riv. Though UNH's pass rates wouldn't really matter for NCLEX purposes if you were doing the...

  11. Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

    arciedee replied to Talulah117's topic in General Nursing

    Jamie-Sue, Concord, Stratham, and Manchester also have articulation agreements with UNH, I believe it's only takes a year after you earn the associate's degree to get the BS. I don't think you have to...

  12. ADN is fine?

    arciedee replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    mtruland, another thing to keep in mind as an option is that UNH's nursing department has started a bunch of "3+1" articulation agreements with the NHCTC schools (not all of them, though, I believe...

  13. ADN is fine?

    arciedee replied to mtruland's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would apply to both (assuming you haven't already applied to UNH's program). If you check out the NH forum you'll see that there's lots of competition for the local ADN programs and lots of...

  14. Career change

    arciedee replied to spartus's topic in General Nursing

    Each school has its own requirements, so I'd suggest looking at the schools around you that you're interested in to see what their requirements are. Some of the basic ones across the board are A&P...

  15. Frustrated- What Are My Options!?!?!?

    arciedee replied to ryansmum's topic in General Nursing

    I would check with UNH... I'm in the direct-entry grad program and they had no problem with us taking our pre-reqs at the Tech (I took four of mine there). I am not sure whether you need to be...

  16. Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

    arciedee replied to Talulah117's topic in General Nursing

    patientone, I just wanted to say that I'm in the DEMN program at UNH. So if you have any questions, feel free to PM me. Good luck to

  17. Accelerated Programs!

    arciedee replied to Ling07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is the AACN's list. Again, this isn't a comprehensive list (because it is up to the schools to self-report to the AACN), but it covers some of the schools you mentioned:...

  18. Premed to prenursing?

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

    I think the questioning process is incredibly important and it's good that you're doing it now. That way when you apply (whichever direction you go) you will be able to speak that much more clearly...

  19. What do I do?? Confused Newbie needs answers

    arciedee replied to Rtkam's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I just checked the AACN website and I see that the University of Portland has a direct-entry MSN program in clinical nurse leadership (which is a generalist role). I don't know how theirs is set up,...

  20. Premed to prenursing?

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

    I didn't read any books, but I did do my research. For one I have friends who went both routes (med school and nursing school). So talking to them was valuable. I also participated on one particular...

  21. Premed to prenursing?

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

    Well... it may be a quarter-life crisis. I think that was about the time that I decided to go for nursing But I just wanted to throw out one thought that made me realize that nursing was a better...

  22. Nursing program

    arciedee replied to sumo123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At most of the programs in my state (except accelerated nursing programs) the summers are off, so you could theoretically take some of the sciences during the summers, but look carefully. A lot of...

  23. Premed to prenursing?

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

    They are tough decisions. And to be honest there are times now that I still think about medicine. I guess I haven't completely written off the idea that one day I may decide that I want to go that...

  24. Premed to prenursing?

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

    I made the switch... and quite a few people in my program did, too. But I think you have to be sure that you're making the choice for the right reason. I had some similar concerns as you, but more...

  25. Any ACTUAL Second Degree BSN/RN's?

    arciedee replied to buddhak0n's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I haven't the foggiest why I'm even jumping into this thread, but I just wanted to note that the idea of having to retake pre-reqs because they are "too old" is not unique to nursing and it's not a...
