Greetings! Thank you for clicking on my question. I am a recent college grad who has decided to return to school for nursing. But... I don't know which program makes the most sense. Eventually, I want to become a nurse practitioner focusing on mate...

What is your job title CNA/Home Health Caregiver (actually not sure of official title!) Where are you located? Oakland, CA What is your hourly wage? $11.00 ($157 for 24 hour live-in shifts) Are you paid shift differentials? No What shift(s) do you us...

Hm.. I'm worried I won't be able to individually message you all and I think we aren't supposed to post direct links, right? So... another way to find it is to go to facebook(.com) / groups / 1443440959204638 Or search for this: UVA CNL CLass of 2016

Ok everyone -- search for the group UVA CNL Class of 2016! It's a closed group so just request to be added!

Hey Keepupwithkaitlyn, I just sent you a PM with a link to my fb account. To start a group I have to invite someone else. Friend me please. :)

Me too me too! Can we form a group on facebook or something? Is it too early for that?

The interview went well--at least I enjoyed it. It was short, friendly and relaxed. What I learned: I want to go to a school that I can believe in and love. I don't mean school spirit, but the mission and the philosophy and I was curious if what is w...

Yaay! I am so happy for you guys who are getting calls! I received an e-mail that they cannot evaluate my application until my last two prerequisite grades are in. This contradicts what they had told me over the summer, but oh well. They also only r...

Hey traumaRUs thank you for the caution. I do not think anyone is planning any legal action unless writing a letter of complaint is considered as such and if it is, please delete my post (I read that I must ask admins to delete posts). I am sorry I ...

Hey! Just wanted to write in that I took two more courses through Cayuga: Genetics and Nutrition. They were both great. Like, really, really great. The discussions were thought provoking and my professors provided feedback and seemed like they actual...

Just saying hi to everyone waiting for December 21st—hopefully we are future classmates! I have read this message thread a few times now and am hoping for all of us. I watched a documentary last night that I wanted to share with you called The Waitin...

Hi, Be VERY wary of this school. My classmates and I are drafting a letter to the Better Business Bureau to issue a formal complaint. Yes, that is how bad the experience has been for all of us. There is too much to share now, but please stay away ...

Hey all, I still haven't heard either. I tried e-mailing and didn't hear anything but I just called and they said (very nicely!) that not all acceptances have gone out. As someone else mentioned, it is taking longer than usual because they received m...

Hey, I have not heard back yet and I am worried too. Although I sent everything in, I never received any confirmation that they received everything. Did anyone get any email that ones application is complete? i just called to ask and they said decisi...

After reading the responses, I want to add one more voice: it is possible! I think it totally depends on you, your background, and your schedule. Are you working? Do you have a lot of responsibilities at home? Will you be able to devote at least 80%...

up_a_hill, yes! Good! I am so glad that you had a positive experience. I really think my experience was professor specific. It sounds like you had different requirements which makes me relieved. I am hoping for a more positive experience this summer...

I am in the process of applying to the Peace Corps and so I am reading everything I can find and would appreciate anyone else's thoughts. Memol, to answer your question, (I am not a nurse—I am taking pre-reqs to return to school for an ABSN or direc...

Yay!!!!! Yes, thank you for posting and sharing your story. Congratulations on bringing your grades up and, more importantly, feeling confident about the material!! I search these boards for the experiences of those in accelerated BSN programs. :)

Hi, I am taking Human Development through Cayuga online right now. While I cannot speak for the specific classes you are interested in or how schools will view those courses, I do want to share my experience. I have never disliked a class as much as ...

I would like to know more about the psych speciality too! Thank you in advance to anyone who responds. :)

Hey guys, I am taking classes at WCC but I am not in the nursing program. I am taking pre-reqs to apply for an ABSN program elsewhere. I have heard there is a waiting list at WCC---maybe 2 years? I have no idea what that means... maybe the most quali...

Thank you all so, so much. I have a bachelor's of arts in Human Ecology and experience working abroad (summer trips) in various countries in Central America and Africa. I do understand that being a nurse in the US doesn't necessarily "equate to going...

Yes!! I'm alive! I am still learning how to use Allnurses.com and I still can't PM people. I thought I would receive a notification when someone replied and I never received one... I was so bummed, I thought my question must have gotten overlooked, b...

Yes, yes! Please share your experience working with Doctors without Borders if you choose to go. I am taking pre-reqs for an ABSN and eventually want to become a nurse practitioner and work with Doctors without Borders. I am trying to decide which sp...

Hi Benm93, I am in a similar position right now—trying to decide what to do first, ABSN, peace corps or master's in public health. If you see this, would you mind replying or pming with what you decided, where you're at right now, and any advice? I ...
