In case anybody else searches and finds this thread: 1. For new grads, you have to have begun the job by the end of the application date. A start date after the application period (even the next day) disqualifies you until the next year. 2. If you ha...

This is really old but I figured I'd revive it since I have a question and didn't see a more recent version for the loan repayment program... I will call them on Tuesday but I have an interview tomorrow so if anybody knows, I'd love to know going int...

No need to feel guilty. You are NOT the only one. I never wanted to be a nurse, but here I am, halfway through an accelerated BSN. All the other students are saying "we're halfway nurses!" I think of it as, I'm a quarter way a midwife. I happen to be...

Yeah, I saw that in the FAQs but had also seen a note somewhere about Maryland - since I can't find it anymore, maybe it's been removed. It had to do with out-of-state schools having clinicals in Maryland. Glad you'll be good-to-go with your license ...

Fitzfam2009 - I'm a BSN student and hopefully future Frontier student, but I'm in Maryland right now. I can't find where I saw it, but somewhere on the FNU page I saw that they don't accept RN licenses from Maryland right now (something about distanc...

I can't tell you first-hand, but a student told me that working part-time and school full-time, or vice versa, is doable.

Thank you so much, queenanneslace! I look forward to hearing from you guys how the program goes!

Thanks for all the info, everyone! Just so I can clarify, does the didactic portion of Frontier take a year? I see that it's 2-3 semesters for the clinical portion, but I'm wondering if the didactic part is just that first year or stretches a semeste...

Once you've made sure the program accepts online, you can look into Rio Salado, like the previous poster said - I took a couple classes from there (Microbiology and Statistics); another option is West Hills Community College. You'll get in-state tuit...

I did all my prereqs online, minus Anatomy and Physiology. I started in Spring of 2013, and am finishing up this summer (though I took a few classes I didn't need after all for the schools I chose to apply for, so if you can narrow it down you can de...

Probably, but ask the school to be sure: Nursing | Felician College The website says "Students needing prerequisite courses must satisfy those requirements prior to enrolling in the nursing sequence." I take that to mean you have to have finished the...

I'm sure there are plenty of schools without a wait list. I would start by searching the area that you're interested in; find schools that might work for you, and then go from there. The US being so big, it's kind of hard to give you suggestions; may...

^^ Seconded. It sounds like A&P probably requires a higher math level than you've completed so far, in which case they would probably only let you register for it if you passed a placement test for college level math.

Your counselor is right that many schools in California are severely impacted. That's why I didn't bother - I only applied to schools in other states. However, 4.0 GPA is pretty darn good. If this is really what you want to do, it doesn't seem worth...

I'd check with each school you're considering. Of the two I applied to, one said I must have in-person lab, and the other said online lab was fine.

^Seconded. The CC might not require your transcripts, but if you apply to a BSN program later they will - and you could get in big trouble if caught lying about that. I'm guessing some schools might revoke acceptance on the grounds of omission, and o...

I want to second the suggestion of YouTube, radio, and similar stuff in Spanish. I speak 6 languages other than my native (English), and while I've been lucky enough to work on 4 of those 6 in countries where they're spoken, the other two I haven't. ...

Just seconding (seventhing?) everyone else - you probably can, but check on the website. I applied to a school in January (for the following September) with 4 prereqs not even started yet! It's a little different - it's an accelerated 2nd bachelors, ...

Ok, so CSUS' program is a traditional BSN, which means it's meant for people who don't have a Bachelor's. So you wouldn't need to complete your BA/BS and THEN go to CSUS, because it's another 4-year program. If you finish your BA/BS somewhere else an...

I'm taking Microbiology and Stats at the same time right now - semester courses in an 8-week format. I'm just gonna say BAD LIFE CHOICE. I literally do nothing but study and I'm only taking two classes! But they're only 8 weeks long, so that kind of ...

So far it's ok. I'm at the end of week three right now. It's a lot of work to keep up on - two units per week (with long chapters and lots of notes), with at least one assignment per unit (either a lab, quiz, essay, or two of those). But if you read ...

It sucks that they weigh it so heavily! But they have their reasons. Have you tried TEAS study tools? I'm sure they stress reading and basic math for a reason - nursing school is very reading-heavy (science reading, but still), and I'm sure nurses us...

I don't think the original poster of these notes is still around, but I'm so glad that person posted them! It is so incredibly helpful - not just to have the notes but to see what kinds of information other people find necessary to write down (we're ...

Just got an email - didn't get in. Oh well, Baltimore for me! Good luck, you guys!

If you need the BSN for Army nursing, definitely go for it, then. As for whether to finish your Biology degree, obviously that's personal and it sounds like you're set on that. There are good arguments either way on that one, but if you want Biology ...
