I tried to respond to your message, but it's blocked. If you PM me your email address, I'd be more than happy to talk to you there :)

I'm in an accelerated BSN program and I am also driving an hour to and from class and clinicals as well. I have clinicals once a week and classes 3 times a week. I just have to wake up at 5am the earliest and I don't mind it at all, I use it as my ti...

I spoke to the nursing director of the emergency room about this. She told me that absn and traditional bsn students are viewed the same, you both come out with a BSN.

I went to 6 different community colleges to take my prerequisite classes. I went where ever there was a space available. It didn't affect me at all when I applied to nursing programs.

After a year, I have finally been accepted into nursing school! I'm super excited, but I know that I have many challenges that lie ahead of me. For those of you who are currently nurses or nursing students, what can I do to prepare myself during my s...

You're correct. While I was working on my undergraduate degree the nursing students would complete their bsn in about 6 years at the very least and that's only if you did everything on time. There is the nursing prereqs you have to take on top of the...

How many schools you should apply to is completely up to you and your circumstances. There really is no average number because it really depends on the situation. You should consider your financial situation, your location, the school itself, and whe...

I applied to the nursing program at Rio Hondo earlier this year and it was for the RN program. I got accepted into the program and it was my first time applying. I don't ever recall that there was a waiting list there for the RN program. Rio Hondo al...

I don't think you should become a nurse. As someone previously stated before me, you're trying to find reasons to convince yourself to go into nursing. It's an area that you really need to be passionate about since it's not just about you, but your p...

I think that one of the most affordable ABSN program in CA is at CSUN as a previous poster mentioned before. I will be starting my program there next month, and it is by far the cheapest ABSN program I applied to. Since you're opened to out of state ...

I've done my share of informally teaching children from kindergarten- 8th grade. I can tell you just from my own experience that teaching is not an easy job. If you truly believe that teaching is where you belong, go for it! Just like we need nurses ...

You're 20 so you have a lot of time ahead of you. I too looked into West Coast for their nursing program, but I did not attend. If the school keeps calling you about your progress, application, and intent to enroll, there's a reason why. The tuition ...

I too looked into the program offered at WCU as well, but it was just way too much for a BSN degree. In the end, I decided to finish up my bachelors degree and I applied to ABSN programs in SoCal. Like others have said already, I highly recommend tha...

I just bought my Littman cardiology III the other day. I had my first and last name engraved on the head. I did not put RN after my name after another user asked the same question and I read some of the responses.

Like you, I do not like chemistry at all and did not do well on it in high school. I also took it during summer and it was 5 weeks long. We had labs twice a week, and lecture M-F for 4 hours. It was brutal, but it was worth it. I had a study group a...

I made a comment a couple posts back regarding the interview.

You're very welcome! I chose to attend CSUN and I will be starting this August. I got my email for an invitation almost two weeks after everyone else so they do spread out the interviews. I hope you get that interview soon!

Hi everyone! I was originally accepted to the ABSN program here at MSMC for summer 2013. I chose not to attend because I got into a different school. Just wanted to let you all know that the invitations are sent out over a span of 3 weeks or so. I go...

I was really excited when I got into my first choice school. I was so shocked that I had to call them to confirm for me, twice! It was such a difficult program to get into, and I didn't feel like I had the qualifications so I thought they made a mis...

I'm 23 years old and I will be starting the ABSN program this August! I'm very excited, but nervous at the same time!

My anatomy and physiology classes were separate, they were not combined and I had no problem with it when I was applying. The school also did not allow for us to repeat a class unless we got a D or lower.

I think it might be something you can say in your personal statement if you can tie it in very well with what you're writing. Otherwise, they probably wouldn't care for it since there are many people who can't give blood due to many various reasons. ...

In my school, anatomy and physiology are two different classes, they're not combined. I got B's in both of those classes. I got A's in microbiology and chemistry. This is my first time applying to nursing school and I got accepted to an ABSN program....

I volunteer in the emergency department at my local hospital. I originally started volunteering to make up for the fact that I can't donate blood (don't meet requirements). While I was starting my nursing applications, I noticed that there was an are...

I haven't had a problem with the timberland, and some nursing friends of mine loves them! I think it just really depends on you and your feet so best to try on different brands and sizes as well. The Timberland Renovas are sold in store at Sears, but...
