    Help with the best route to nursing?

    iPink replied to momof2prettygirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, is your end goal to receive the BSN or the MSN? If you want the BSN, yeah I would skip the LPN program and go for BSN RN. I would apply to both BSN and ADN programs, with the hopes of geting in...

    Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - do I need a BSN or just an ADN?

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

    There is no need for you to generalize from my statement. I partially quoted the OP about their statement. If he/or she wants to respond to that they have every right to or not. We all know the...

    finally took the leap! Second degree BSN here I come!

    iPink replied to grasshopper7780's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I guess I'm the lucky one, because it wasn't a long journey for me. I only needed to knock out 6 prerequisites and I did just that in 2 semesters. The other prerequisites made it within the 10 years...

    Previous Bachelors degree going into nursing - do I need a BSN or just an ADN?

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

    [partial quote] "...but I'm wondering if it'd look better that I went to a nice school for BSN instead of a community college for ADN." OP, I don't want you to demean ADN programs. I know way too many...

    Congrats on your decision. I'm a career changer too. My ABSN program begins Jan 3, 2011 (Orientation is Dec. 1st). My life will be consumed by this program for 15 months, but excited about it all....

    Prereqs for ABSN or DEMSN

    iPink replied to ricky75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are certainly the first person who went from med school to nurse. I'm so use to hearing people going from nursing to med. However, it is your career choice. Even though nursing is saturated...

    Did you say in a previous post that you already graduated from med school? Are you sure you want to go to nursing

    What to do...decisions. decisions.

    iPink replied to GavinsMom's topic in General Students

    I know the market is hard right now, but do you see any preferences with hospitals hiring? I know in my area that if they are going to hire new grads, they want new grads with BSNs, not ADNs. That...

    Accelerated Programs

    iPink replied to Ennis08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in an accelerated BSN program. As previous poster stated, you must have at least a 4-year non-nursing degree to qualify for these programs. Most of these programs want you to have a minimum of 3.0...

    UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

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

    You haven't heard anything? If you haven't gotten a rejection letter that is usually a good thing. But this happened to me for last semester when I applied for the Fall. Call them like crazy (if you...

    UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

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

    I took it this Tuesday because I'm participating in UMDNJ's NALC Program. NALC (Nursing as an Additional Language & Cultural Program) runs until Dec. 21st. So we don't need to be there on the

    UMDNJ Accelerated BSN Program

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

    Hi there. Glad you are doing nursing. I will see you then at UMDNJ in Dec? 60 students were accepted this semester. I barely studied for the TEAS, since I learned that your stay in the program isn't...

    Wrong reasons for going into nursing.

    iPink replied to madfowl's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone goes into nursing because of "passion". Even though I believe passion should always drive you, not everyone agrees with that mentality. A friend of mine decided to be a CRNA only for the...

    Should I get my RN or BSN? What if I already have a Bachelor's degree?

    iPink replied to 31dunn's topic in Nursing Career

    I have my B.A. and I start my 15-months ABSN program this January. I will have to make some corrections to some of the above posts. You have the option to go for direct-entry MSN, without getting...

    Graduating from 'Pre-Nursing' Student Forum!

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

    I would wait till the 2011-2012 financial aid on FASFA is available, then apply unless your program advises you differently. On another note: yes yaay for all our men and women student nurses!! We...

    iPink replied to Spartan16's topic in General Students

    I haven't read all the responses, but I agree with some points coast2coast said. I've wanted to be a PA when I was in high school, but ended up choosing a different path. I'm now going back for my...

    Do I qualify for ABSN @ NYU and UMDNJ

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

    I see a disagreement with UMDNJ's requirements. I'll join in to add that according to Mae, they have never accepted anyone to the ABSN program with less than a 3.0 GPA from their first degree. A lot...

    79K for a BSN???

    iPink replied to wishing2BAnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a B.A. already and will be getting my BSN in 15 months and both those degrees are around 80k combined. My first degree was out of state at a top college. So my answer to your question is NO. I...

    Non-nursing degree (low GPA/stats) to accelerated BSN program?

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

    I live in Jersey. Unfortunately, if you are looking into ABSN programs, you may be out of luck here. All of the programs requires your undergrad to be a minimum of 3.0. Some schools are very strict on...

    I didn't get into any BSN programs, but I got into the ADN programs...am I stupid?

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

    This is a prime example that having a 4.0 GPA doesn't automatically mean you'll get in. The common factor between the schools was your interview. For the future I would work on that when you start...
