  5. Online Statistics Class?

    I am taking an online stats class now. Most of stats is simply remembering how to apply formulas, which is why I think most schools offer it online. I thought I was crazy to take it online, but so far...
  6. I am entering a 2nd degree ABSN program at Hopkins this Fall with plans of entering a CRNA program after graduation, and of course after my acute care exp. requirement. However, I've recently stumbled...
  7. RN to NP. 2015 DNP true??

    I asked this question in the forum for CRNAs because I was concerned as well. There has been no mandate as of yet. 2015 was the target date when all of this DNP talk started some yrs ago, but as of...
  8. A&P I Spring 2013

    Wow, I feel as if my class is so far behind you guys lol! My course started on January 23rd and we JUST had our first exam this past Monday (2/18), which I managed to pull a 91 on! Whoo-hoo!. It was...

    Taking pre-reqs now in the state neighboring mine and it's a/b a 35min drive (25 mi) there and back..my classes are in the late evening so traffic is lite; I just past the time with loud music and...
  10. Private vs. Public school admissions

    I've also heard that private schools are less competitive because they are more expensive. I'd never actually thought about that much until I read through a lot of threads on this site however. For...
  11. Working and nursing school?

    I am in the same boat, but since I am moving out of state it's a tad bit different. I think it would be best to get your first semester under your belt before you begin working. I worked all...

  13. JHU ABSN Fall 2013

    I've been accepted. I applied Early Decision and was notified of acceptance back in December to the 17-month prog. I too have just found out that the Fuld Fellowship is going to be given without a...
  14. You're so smart, you should be a doctor.

    ^^Which is why shows like "HawthoRNe" make me smile. But unfortunately that was canceled. In any case, I haven't even started my ABSN program and I can already decipher the looks and remarks that I'm...
  15. I understand how you're feeling. I actually LEFT Finance (literally just quit my job two wks ago) for Nursing (I start my ABSN program in August). Even as an entry-level employee the pay in Finance...

    ^^^^That's it!..I remember choosing my schools from that list, but couldn't recall where it was
  17. Anybody have Plan B?

    There is no Plan B lol. No but seriously, I'm sacrificing a LOT to do this and there is no option but for it to work out. I've already been accepted to an ABSN program...finding the money to pay for...
  18. First A&P Exams...Let's hear it!

    My first exam isn't until the 18th, with the lab practical on the 20th. I've been preparing by reading and re-reading a little of the text each day, FLASHCARDS, using an histology app on my phone to...
  19. Have BA; suggestions for accelerated BSN?

    Georgetown, UPenn, Villanova, NYU, Univ of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, George Washington, Duke, Univ of NC, Emory for starters. These were all on my list to apply to. I utimately chose Hopkins, and I'll...
  20. Yeah, crazy right?..but keep in mind they gave an estimate for the total prog, not just tuition. Tuition itself was estimated to be about $68K..but with everything else included it comes to about...
  21. Non-CNA Jobs You Can Work While You're a Student

    I agree!!! In my area, Southeastern PA, just about all of the jobs that deal with patients (unit clerk, non-certified nirse asst., etc.) want at least a year of experience in medical or hospital...
  22. Experience with PRIVATE student loans

    I don't think this is true. I have a B.A and I'm currently receiving Federal loans while taking my prereqs. The catch for me was to simply enroll into an A.S. program as a Pre-Nursing major (since it...
  23. I was accepted as an Early Decision applicant, so I'm unsure if the RD-ers have heard back yet. I'm super excited to start, and my brain is on overload trying to figure out how to pay for this. I...
  24. I'm 24, (will be 25 in two weeks) and I'm in my second semester of pre-reqs. I'll be starting an ABSN program in the Fall. Please don't belittle your own successes. You are on your way to something...
