   Hi all! I have just been accepted to a master's program in Leadership and Education, a program that I'm excited about and I feel that it would be a good fit. I also have applied to two FNP programs...

   nursewithgrace replied to VAorthoRN's topic in General Students

   They don't ever communicate over weekends, and you could hear Monday! And don't worry about registration, the one on Monday is for summer, we can't register until July or so for fall! Plus you'll have...

   Yes, absolutely!! I've never felt uncomfortable where I live, since it's a mostly quiet, residential area. Personally, I feel that the only places you might not feel safe in walking alone at night...

   I do! Henrico is a huge area, and for safety, I'll just say I live in the west end. I really like it but my fiancé and I don't have kids so we're kind of out of place here. I'll DM you with some...

   I figured since you posted in the VCU thread! April is beautiful here, so at least if you do decide to come you'll have lovely weather to walk around the campus--there's not much to the medical...

   nursewithgrace replied to flrn26's topic in School, College Programs

   I went to UC for my first bachelor's degree and had many friends in the BSN program, and they loved it! I know it's a little different than the MSN, but I highly recommend UC, especially the nursing...

10. John Tyler Community College Nursing Fall 2015

    nursewithgrace replied to VAorthoRN's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if they look at the GPA from the previous bachelor's degree, but having one may help. I have a BS in business and while I had a high-ish GPA from that, I don't think that was considered....

    I'm in the traditional program, and ended up buying the set with physical books. I debated over and over whether or not I'd use the hard copies, but I tend to study better with a physical book in my...

    I only have to take Nutrition, everything else is done! I may have to take Sociology again if they don't allow me to use the credit from my previous bachelors. But I plan on continuing on to get my...
