    Bachelors in Biology. Now what?

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

    I don't know much about the EL MSN programs, just the Accelerated BSN. It's best for him to look through the list of ABSN programs in Arizona or California in the link I provided in my previous post....

    Bachelors in Biology. Now what?

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

    OP: Your friend can look into Accelerated BSN programs, with the goal to be an NP. Some students in my class are taking that route, because they too didn't make into med school. OR, your friend can...

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

    Each school/program is different. For my ABSN program, they looked at the GPA you graduated with and the prerequisite GPA (both are treated separately). They wanted your previous GPA to be a minimum...

    iPink replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in General Students

    I'll be 30 when I graduate in 2012 from my BSN program. As long as the body and mind can keep up, I still can put in 25+ years in the profession. Tell your friend not to worry about their

    RN to BSN (with a prior BA)

    iPink replied to dawadall's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with poster above. Those RN-BSN or RN-MSN programs are for those who have their RN (ADN). You need to look for ADN programs. Some Community Colleges do offer accelerated RN programs for those...

    Are you looking into Accelerated BSN programs? I would look into those programs and apply. In addition to applying, I would apply to ADN programs. This is to cover you just in case you don't get into...

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

    8pack: from some of the things you just said, there seems to be a difference with Stratford and Newark. All the Level 1 students I spoke with and others who spoke with them said all books will be used...

    iPink replied to mangopeach's topic in General Students

    Our book list was close to $1000. I did serious searches online and my total came to about $300 for 16 books. I didn't rent, because some of the books I will need for the remaining of the program as...

    Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - Should I do BSN or ADN???

    iPink replied to k.ronning's topic in General Nursing

    That is such a sad reality. I just started my ABSN program and the previous Nursing students told me in our area, the hospitals are hiring BSN students and not ADNs. However, this may not be the case...

    Career Switching and Schooling Questions

    My Community College offers accelerated ADN. It was my backup plan just in case I didn't get into my ABSN program. You can Google any accelerated ADN programs in your area. If you're looking for...

    Only an ADN

    iPink replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    Just check your area. Mine, hospitals want BSNs only. RN's with ADNs & BSNs may end up working in nursing homes as jobs are scarce in certain states, so they'll take what they can

    Do pre-req's all have to be at the same institution?

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

    Didn't matter for my ABSN program. When I was taking my prerequisites, A&P 1 was full at my CC and the Chairman of the Biology department refused to sign a waiver to let me in. I didn't give up...
