  1. CRNA debt load, plus mortgage, kids, single income

    gabookworm replied to simvee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Income-based repayment plans help, and at the very least, you can probably get the repayment term extended beyond ten years. I am walking into my second-career BSN program with a mountain of student...

  2. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Good luck!! Sounds like I may have to wait a month or more before I get one, assuming they want to talk to me. Wonder where all the other applicants are... we can't possibly be the only ones on here,...

  3. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think that was actually before they pushed the deadline from March to February, so I doubt that will happen for us. I suspect having such a late notification meant they lost a lot of people who just...

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, at least that's out of the way. Whew! I felt like I could've gone on for much longer than 30 minutes, but I guess that's the whole point, isn't it? Get to the point, and do it quickly, without...

    Right on cue, my email to schedule the online interview came today! Still waiting for confirmation, but it should be Thursday. Wish me

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    p.s. I don't see why your new degree would count against you, especially if you have a strong academic record. If anything, I would think it could give you an advantage because you are still in the...

  7. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I haven't had it yet! FINALLY got the "Your application has been received" email on Friday (I think they don't talk to you until every single piece is done, and my TEAS scores held me up), so I'm...

  8. Has anyone gone from a BA to a BSN?

    gabookworm replied to MTmomofsix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Actually, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh has an online accelerated BSN for second-degree students, and they arrange clinicals one-one with preceptors within 50 miles of your hometown. Only the...

  9. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks! I'm itching to get it scheduled and behind me, though I know the waiting will be so hard after it's done. I'm starting to stress about how the heck we're going to pay for all of it if I do get...

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey, Undsnow, how does the online interview work? Is it via email or chat or what? I don't expect you to tell me questions they asked or anything, but am curious about the format. I'm assuming mine...

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    They finally posted this evening! I did well, actually. I'm pretty pleased, given how long it's been since I've really been in school (other than a couple pre-reqs here and there). I looked at the...

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Ugh. I am so annoyed with ATI. I took the TEAS yesterday. It was computer-based, but they gave me a printout saying it will take "48 business hours" for my results to post to my account. Does that...

  13. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, that's my biggest concern as well. I can't even get a hospital around here to talk to me because the market is so tight, so I'm short on experience. I really want to be accepted for October...

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, I agree. I'm finally taking the TEAS next week, so I'm hopeful my interview will be scheduled shortly after they get my scores. Hope you feel good about yours! Best of

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am also curious to read the answer to this question. I understand that there are 8-10 hours of reading/studying per day, but am also curious about how much synchronous activity is required (live...

  16. CNM or CPM? Opinions/advice??

    gabookworm replied to BrittK's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Ack!!! There's too much good in this thread to respond to, but I love reading the thoughts of so many like-minded people!! I am currently applying to ABSN programs, with the intention to go for a...

    gabookworm replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Just because you haven't heard about it doesn't mean the research isn't happening. http://modernessentialoils.com/Resources/SAB_Compendium.pdf Go to page 4 of this doc to see the qualifications of two...

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My undergrad and grad degrees are in dramatic lit and theatre history, but I was a biology minor as an undergrad, so I had a lot of the science classes already. I am a birth doula and childbirth...

  19. University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh

    gabookworm replied to Focused4life's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That just means you were accepted to the university, not the program. Read the application sequence link on the program page, and it tells you what to do to get the fee waived. Program decisions are...

  20. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

    gabookworm replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm applying to the program. I think the classes are mostly asynchronous, but you have to be available for clinicals whenever your preceptors are working, so the schedule is unpredictable. Accelerated...
