  1. Anyone using VA VOC Rehab...

    Not if you're employed full time.
  2. Anyone using VA VOC Rehab...

    They pay for a full ride and stipend. Tuition, books, computer, etc. and they pay you a stipend. The stipend varies depending on when you were in the military, post-9/11, etc.
  3. Safety for Nurses and Nursing students

    What state do you live in? Each state's laws concerning guns, knives, weapons in general, etc. can be very different from one to the next. My suggestion is to get professional instruction and training in whatever you decide will work best for you. Fo...
  4. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    I'm taking my pre-reqs at CSN and the counselors there are useless for any info or help. Some of the general ed requirements online state Phil 102 is a pre-req but the BSN list does not have it listed. Is this class a requirement to get into the BSN ...
  5. Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    As a 39yo starting my pre-reqs I find this topic very interesting. The one difference I have is the V.A. is paying for my schooling so I won't take on that debt. Currently I'm interested in working in the ICU and possibly pursuing a NP in a few years...
  6. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    Thanks for your help.
  7. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    Quick question. I know UNLV scrubs are red but do they require students to wear all white shoes? As a guy with big feet it's gonna be a bit of a chore to find. Sorry for the thread drift.
  8. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    Congrats!
  9. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    I did my time in the Navy. That's why I have the Popeye avatar
  10. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    Thanks. As a vet returning to school I'm a lil' rusty but I am more than determined!
  11. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    Thank you. I'm just starting my pre-reqs but hope to bang them out ASAP. Getting my first year done at CSN and then transferring over to UNLV. Nice to know what my "odds" are.
  12. UNLV SON Summer 2013

    Does anyone know how many applicants on average the SON gets each semester? I believe they accept 48 but out of how many?
  13. Anyone using VA VOC Rehab...

    Why not go for your BSN since you've already qualified for Chapter 31? Get it done now while the VA is covering your tuition, books, stipend, etc. Just a thought...
  14. Anyone using VA VOC Rehab...

    I've been accepted into Voc Rehab using the Chapter 31 benefits and have been approved to pursue a BSN along with my NP if I can get it knocked out in the standard 48 month window, that's the tricky part. As it stands right now I'm going to be meetin...
  15. History and affirmative action aside... I'm interested in learning more about scholarships.
  16. Interested in NP field

    That's completely dependent on the school. I know at UNLV you can go straight from BSN to NP classes. I'm 39 and just starting towards my BSN with an end goal of NP as well.
  17. Is there really a "nursing shortage"

    Absolutely. I'm just starting my pre-reqs but understand that I may have to move to seek employment. The market will be different next year and the year after. Those experienced nurses will have to hang up the cleats at some time.
  18. 29 too old to start nursing school?

    39 year old male, USN veteran, starting my pre-reqs online in March.
  19. Question about UNLV

    Is it possible to start taking summer classes this summer as a freshman or do you have to wait and start in the fall? I'd like to knock out a few pre-reqs if I can and I'll also be taking a few at CSN to try to get ahead of the game.
  20. UTA FALL 2012

    How many BSN applicants does UTA accept per semester?
