I'll also be taking A&P 1 @ UALR this semester. Good luck!

Hey kimhaw, how do you like UALR? I am going in the fall to finish up my prereq's. I plan on applying to the nursing program in the spring. I was leaning towards Baptist at first but decided that UALR would be a better choice.

Thanks for your help Brian. Eventually I plan on getting my MSN. I want to be a pediatric nurse practitioner. I have narrowed it down to UCA or UALR. I plan on applying to both schools in Jan. I also plan to stay at UCA next semester and continue my pre-rec's. Thanks Again, Jeremy

Hello guys, I am wanting to go to nursing school but I need some help on choosing a school. I am 27 (Male). I already have a B.S. degree in Safety management. I worked as a safety manager for two years and decided that wasn't for me. I don't know to much about any of the schools I listed. I am going to UCA right now to get some of the pre-req's out of the way. I still have to take chem and A&P 1&2. I got some info on baptist and it says that it is a RN program with a diploma. What are the pros and cons of each school? Does it really make a difference out in the nursing profession if you have a BSN? 1. UCA- BSN. 2. UALR- Associate 3. Baptist- Diploma I thought this would be the best place to post this since it is state specific. Do hospitals/employers look down on nurses with an associate or diploma RN? Sorry for all of the questions, I just want to make the right decision the first time around. Thanks for all your help.
