    iPink replied to enilrek's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Hi. I'm a 3rd level student at UMDNJ. From experience the Admissions department has claimed to have lost my stuff as well. You won't be the last. The program has been good. You get 90 hours of...

    iPink replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    iPink replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Don't think it'll become obsolete, but as others have said the hiring depends on the area. I went to a nurses association brunch last week and got the opportunity to speak to Nursing Directors of a...

    ADN to BSN or Accel BSN program?

    iPink replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Go for the BSN. I don't see where in the OP's post where they stated Accelerated BSN is better than RN to BSN route. Anyways, if the BSN is your goal, then work on that goal. I know there are...

    Clinicals = networking!

    iPink replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in General Students

    I've been networking with the nurses at one of my clinicals. In fact the CEO of that hospital had approached my clinical instructor about volunteer opportunities. When she asked my clinical group who...

    Second Degree options.. oppinions needed!

    iPink replied to LeXxBelieve1's topic in General Students

    First, check out all the ABSN programs in your area to verify their GPA requirements. If 3.0 is the minimum, ask if they have ever accepted students below that GPA who have done well in their...

    Is this doable? ABSN program

    iPink replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    I'm not a Purdue student, but I am an ABSN student. My schedule is about the same as the one you posted. I didn't think I would have made it passed the first semester, but now I'm one semester left...

    iPink replied to greyL's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May and felt as you did until I met some former students who graduated from my program. They were hired as new grad RNs at the hospital where I do my clinical. They have told me they are...

    iPink replied to 3Triages's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    The website should answer most of your questions: http://sn.umdnj.edu/academics/ptbsn/index.html As far as stopping your current program, that will probably depend on how many credits they will...

    Planning to get RN, should I get my BSN?

    iPink replied to TiffCNA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I agree you should get your BSN. I also have a BA and after much research and speaking to current nurses (both RNs and LPNs) who advised me to do an ABSN, I went in full...

    Currently working on BS for dietetics, but want desperately to be a nurse.

    iPink replied to Emily103's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To me I don't see the point in obtaining an entry level master's degree especially since there is no pay difference and I prefer my employer to pay for my advance degree. I don't know about other...

    Finish your degree and then apply to an accelerated BSN program. I'm not from your area but did hear from people on here that say California nursing programs are tough to get in with many of them with...

    iPink replied to nursegc's topic in General Students

    I'm a career changer too, but doing an accelerated BSN program. There are days I want to give up, but I always encourage myself to continue on, with God's help. I was forewarned nursing was going to...

    Are there any fast-track nursing programs/schools for undergrad students?

    iPink replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    I haven't heard of any, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. I know there are accelerated ASN programs, but the one in my area also require their applicants have a previous college degree. How far...

    Career changer

    iPink replied to loriidel's topic in General Students

    Definitely check your area for that answer of a ADN vs. BSN. I did some homework in my area as well, before deciding to go back to school for nursing, and the answer to that is a BSN is desired. All...
