  1. Working while in CRNA school...

    My sister went attended a CRNA program years ago and worked two 12-shifts per week (weekends) in an NICU. She completed the 2.5 year program and finished at the top of her class and pass her boards on her first attempt. It all depends on the indivi...
  2. Did not pass my patho class and now idk what to do

    Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't understand this huge cost and time difference that you speak of. If your intention is to continue a Nursing Program elsewhere, why not retake the course(s) (Patho and Micro Lab) at your current school vi...
  3. 2nd degree BSN worth it?

    A key point to consider is that having a bachelors degree and continuing your studies will severely impact access to financial aid. This should factor into your decision as to whether to continue your current degree or switch to a nursing program. ...
  4. CNA first and then RN?

    IMHO, you should stay in school and finish your prerequisites as quickly as you can and move on to your end goal of getting your BSN (or ADN) and becoming an RN. Why delay the process? With the annual increases in Tuition at most Universities, the ...
  5. AP biology

    I have a general question: Is it better to do AP courses or Dual Enrollment Classes (if qualified and available in your State) at a nearby Community College (CC)? Doing a class at a CC pretty much guarantee that a passing grade (C or better) will b...
  6. Should I take my algebra classes over?

    I'm not sure which State you are located in, but in our State, the prerequisite for the Statistics Course, is College Algebra, not Intermediate Algebra! Curious, when you say 2.5, is that equivalent to a C+? BTW, are you attending a For-Profit Priv...
  7. ITT Tech RN program?

    It is interesting that you only sign up on July 14,2014 and has only made two posts related to ITT Tech RN Program. Are you really a graduate from the school or are you one of the paid Recruiter? I suspect the latter. Have you found a RN job to da...
  8. Quitting tomorrow, in panic

    What about taking a Month or a few weeks off? Is a leave of absence out of the question? Quitting is not necessarily the only option available or the most prudent thing to do. Are you very active outside of work?
  9. Can you expand on the reason why you were dismissed, with only 3-months to graduation? This seems like a nightmare and doesn't make sense. Do they have an appeal process and did you go that route? Have you exhausted all your options?
  10. Fortis College

    B-I-N-G-O!! I agree and if that is the case, here we have so many students who have spent over $30-$40K on an Associate Degree and cannot get a degree or sit the boards/get licensed/get a Nursing Job. This is so ridiculous and appears as a scam to ...
  11. itt tech scam?

    Many times the 75% pass rate is very misleading, since the number of people from the school that actual took the test is very small. What is doesn't reflect is the high number of their students that were not allowed to take the test in the first pla...
  12. IUPUI Traditional Spring 2015

    In most states (I could be wrong here), the traditional BSN program is two years or at most 4 semesters + a summer session. Why is it three years at IUPUI? Also, most accelerated programs at 1 year to 15-months. Is the two prerequisites you are mis...
  13. I want to quit pre-nursing for social work!

    Really???? .... and what will happen when one follows their "bliss" and cannot find a job in the chosen field and end up returning to live with Mom and Dad for an extended period of time? One should not based their career choices on easy majors or a...
  14. Azure College

    Financial aid blunder puts Azure students in a lurch SEBRING — After losing its financial aid in its Sebring location, Azure College offered 45 LPN and RN nursing students some options, but some are upset with the situation. Woei-Long La, whose wife,...
  15. Am I screwed?

    I think this is the critical point here. Getting into a CRNA School is so competitive, with more qualified prospects than there are available spots. Although posters are reticent to provide negative feedback, your chances at this point in time is s...
  16. Nursing school lawsuits

    @blackch3rry: Your post was very generic, so what specifically were you issues with the For-Profit School you attended? There are thousands of threads on this site alone, which warns potential students about the dangers of a lot of these For-Profit...
  17. Accelerated Courses in the SoCal Area

    If you take your prerequisites from a local University (within commuting distance from where you live), there is no way that the BSN program can know you took the courses online. Community College (CC) is probably your best bet for a cost and conven...
  18. Given your situation, primarily the cost factor and distance from available programs, you made the smart decision. I wish you luck in whatever path you choose going forward.
  19. Out of curiosity, why didn't you apply for an accelerated BSN program (since you already have an undergraduate degree in Biology), instead of an ADN?
  20. clinic in the bronx, dangerous?

    We live in the Technology age and quick Google search on the address shows a map of the area. The Facility is located at the corner of Washington Ave and E. Tremont Ave. Other nearby cross street are: Bathgate Ave, Park Ave, Webster Ave, 3rd Ave, ...
  21. ok this is my plan( vent)

    @jasmine.rivers451: I had a hard time reading your posts due to the minimal use of periods, etc. From a general standpoint, why do you and others feel it is automatic that you will get accepted into Keiser University Nursing Program? Is it that th...
  22. Should I pursue CRNA or Med School? (Help)

    Therein lies your answer. You seemed confident in the fact that you can get excellent premed grades and will be able to get a good MCAT Score, ultimately getting into Medical School, so I see no reason why you wouldn't pursue a medical career. The ...
  23. Does leaving CA for a BSN make it harder to get a job?

    Don't California Community Colleges and State Universities offer one of the lowest Tuition & Fees in the entire United States? Why would a California resident look at schools outside of their State? Certainly, a Community College ADN degree cos...
  24. Future RN wanting to be an Anesthesiologist

    My sister was a premed major for her first degree and did not get into medical school. She eventually went to a local college and did a year of Nursing prerequisites and got into a 2-year Generic BSN program and graduated. Worked for a year in an I...
  25. Future RN wanting to be an Anesthesiologist

    There are a lot of premed students who are majoring in nursing and eventually became MDs. I personally know a number of Engineers who eventually became doctors also. People major in specific fields to hedge against not getting into Med schools and ...
