  1. Pre-Reqs from diff schools, does it look bad?

    I doubt it'll be an issue. I've got the same thing happening. Prereqs from 4 different schools! It just had to happen that way. Someone at one of the schools I contacted even gave me suggestions for schools I could try out, knowing how many schools I...
  2. Need suggestons for online Statistics & Lifespan Class

    Rio Salado Community College has both classes, and they have start dates just about every Monday as far as I can tell. I'm signed up for the statistics class in the spring, and it does require proctors for exams and proof that you've taken some math ...
  3. Ain't nobody got time for DEBT! (paying for nursing school)

    Two possibilities: UCSD Medical Center, for new grads: Opportunities for New Nursing Graduates | UC San Diego Health System Sharp, for full time employees: Education Reimbursement
  4. Fall '14 Applicants!!!

    Oh man, anybody else working on their essays right now? I'm so nervous I'm gonna screw them up!
  5. I'm applying regular admission for the Fall Entry BSN, so I figure I'll drop in and say hi. :) Working on my essays right now, and trying to figure out who my references should be...
  6. Fall '14 Applicants!!!

    Applying to NYU, Johns Hopkins, and George Washington.
  7. George Washington ABSN Spring 2014

    Although does your cousin take the shuttle from Foggy Bottom or from WFC? Because according to the schedule (which obviously could be wrong), the first shuttle bus from WFC leaves at 6:15. That and the 6:45 (again, THEORETICALLY, according to their s...
  8. George Washington ABSN Spring 2014

    Huh. Well, that's no good. What's the point of a school-sponsored shuttle if it won't even get you to early classes on time? Clinical sites, ok fine, there are a lot of possible locations. But classes...
  9. Hey, has anyone taken classes in-person through National University, particularly the Rancho Bernardo campus but really any San Diego campus? I'm trying to figure out if they offer A&P I or Microbiology there, but I can't figure out if they are o...
  10. Georgetown ABSN Spring 2014

    Haha, thanks. Yeah, thankfully in Jordan we have pretty easy access to health care (not that it makes them figure out the problem any faster!). And since I don't have any health experience, I do hope Peace Corps gives my eventual application a boost!...
  11. George Washington ABSN Spring 2014

    I think the closest metro stop is probably West Falls Church, on the orange line. (here's a link to the campus' website: The George Washington University Virginia Science and Technology Campus: Home Page). You'd have to take a bus from there. (unless...
  12. struggling in non science class.

    There are tons of videos on YouTube if you search "beginning computer lessons" or "beginning computing" it comes up with lots of stuff. Depending on what, exactly, you're supposed to be learning, you can put that in the search bar, too. Don't give up...
  13. NP starting salary

    I think that's awesome, but then again, I'm a professional volunteer with no income at the moment. I think for CNMs, the average starting salary (according to the internet, at least) is in the 70s. So for an NP I think 82000 sounds great.
  14. Class of 2016

    Congratulations!!
  15. Class of 2016

    Yeah it sounds like an amazing option but pretty hard to get. I'm planning to apply, too, but not yet. The problem is it only pays for fall-start programs as far as I understand. If you do spring start, you can't get the spring or summer paid for eve...
  16. Class of 2016

    I haven't started yet, but hopefully I'll be graduating Spring 2016. (fingers crossed that getting in goes smoothly)
  17. Midwifery 101

    To my knowledge, all nurse-midwife programs ARE masters programs (or, at least most of them are). So after the BSN you'd go into a MSN program at a school that has nurse-midwifery as one of its options. Here's a list of programs: http://www.midwife.o...
  18. Long sleeves in a hot house

    Oh man. I live in the Middle East right now and even when it's 100 degrees out, I have to wear long sleeves, high necks, a second shirt/tunic on top that reaches to mid-thigh, and long pants. I'm jealous that you guys have A/C, ceiling fans, and the ...
  19. What's the best book bag for Nursing School?

    If you could design your dream bag for school, what features would it have? I've got a little while until I start in-person classes (I'm doing my prereqs online so far), plus I've got some sewing skills. So I might try making my own. Here's what I've...
  20. Non-Nursing Undergrad trying to get into Nursing

    ^^Sweetcorn, did you mean CSU Stanislaus? One option for prerequisites if you're having trouble finding what you need is West Hills College District (they have two schools - Coalinga and Lemoore). I'm going through them, taking classes online (I'm a ...
  21. George Washington ABSN Spring 2014

    Whoops, sorry, brain fart. Apparently there is a free shuttle bus to the GWU Loudon campus from Falls Church Metro. So if you can live on the metro line that goes there, you could avoid some traffic.
  22. George Washington ABSN Spring 2014

    Congratulations on your acceptance! I'm not applying there for another year, but I visited about 2 years ago and just wanted to say try to go with public transport if you can. Georgetown isn't on the metro line, but I think some busses go there. It's...
  23. Georgetown ABSN Spring 2014

    Hi, no, I'm not doing any health-related projects. Unfortunately it's kind of hard to do those here. The closest I could get is starting a walking club so that women have a chance for some exercise - but I'm nursing a fractured foot so I haven't been...
  24. Number of pre-reqs and encouraging words

    As for whether a year of prereqs is normal, I think longer is totally normal. I'm going to take a hear and a half, personally. Some people can speed through them and others take a couple years. So I wouldn't worry about that. For whether you should w...
  25. Accepted :).... now what??

    Wow, what program requires a perfect score on the competency test?! Never heard of something like that.
