    iPink replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Money, money, money.....Now back to reality...I swore I've seen this topic already. But, I wanted to go into nursing, because I've always wanted to be in the medical field since high school. I was a...

    Being around alot of women....Pros and Cons

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

    Working with all women concerns me too. While in college, I had a part-time job as a Teacher's Assistant in a Cerebral Palsy school. We only had one guy in the whole school. The bickering that went on...

    my parents think i am dumb.

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

    Don't give up. And your parents aren't helping by making you feel dumb. You could get your Bio degree and apply to an Accelerated Program. I'm actually applying to one. They are competitive too, but...

    What did i get myself into?!?

    iPink replied to cresendez2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No lab? You just have a lecture? Well, as long as the BSN programs by you are ok with that requirement. The ABSN programs by me require Microbiology w/

    What did i get myself into?!?

    iPink replied to cresendez2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the fall semester, even though it looks like you are taking 4 classes, but when you factor in all the labs, you're actually taking 7 classes. Each lab for the sciences is like taking an additional...

    ADN, bachelor or master degree?

    iPink replied to cloudy817's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow $53k! The ABSN programs by me are between $27-$30k. NP = Nurse Practitioner FNP = Family Nurse Practitioner DNP = Doctor of Nurse Practice (It's like obtaining a PhD) And you didn't ask a stupid...

    You and me both apparently applied the same time. I haven't heard a word yet either. I didn't get a rejection letter either. However, I checked the website yesterday and saw they posted a notice that...

    Honors BSN unable to find job. Can the college be sued?

    iPink replied to Tankweti's topic in General Nursing

    "The particular college I graduated from runs about $15,000 per semester for a full course load. That is $120,000 for a full 4 years." Did you spend that much for your BSN? If so, that's outrageous....

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

    I'm in New Jersey. But I'm looking at ABSN's only. Are you looking at ABSN programs or traditional BSN programs. I know a couple of programs here where a grade of "C" for your prereqs are acceptable....

    Since people are posting their ages in here, I might as well follow suit. I am 28 and have a B.A. in Information Technology & Informatics. I will be pursing a Accelerated BSN program. Why? 1)...

    Accelerated or Trad. BSN costs???

    iPink replied to aneres1390's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, the reason why most ABSN students aren't getting financial help (meaning just grants) because people who are entering the ABSN/AMSN programs already have a degree in another field. This is...

    Should I Apply???

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

    Since you have clarified, just apply and then go through the agony of waiting. If you don't get in, then brush yourself off, retake classes if you want, or apply to other nursing programs. Parents...

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

    I agree with Noel. It's important that you ask and find out. Especially since you are sensitive to rejection. Some schools are very strict with their requirements and some give leeway. For example,...

    iPink replied to carroyo90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I told you not to freak out, then I'll be lying. It's ok, freak out, then take a breather and regroup. I wouldn't take random easy classes just to raise my GPA. Work towards biology if you want,...
