I hate when a doctor talks to me for 5 mins and charges me $200.00. While nurses work their *** off all day long and make very little in comparison.

First, check with the adviser at the community college to determine what credits will and will not transfer and to what university they transfer. Many community colleges have agreements arranged with some universities to transfer most (if not all) the credits. Community college is definitely the least expensive way to go. Plus you usually get a good education (small class sizes, lots of individual help, if you need it, etc). I used to teach at a community college and was impressed with the education that the students received. As with most things, you get out what you put in. With that said, the fear is that you will get your ADN, start working, and never go back to school. In most cases, once you start working a full-time job you will not want to go back to school, and if you do - you will only be able to go part-time. My suggestion is to go to community college (to save money) and get your pre-reqs done and then transfer to a 4 year university for the BSN! Best of luck in whatever you decide.

I am wondering if anyone can tell me what the lowest COMPETITIVE score on the GRE is. I think I read that a score of 150 on each section (math and verbal) is considered competitive. However, this is only the 50th percentile. That doesn't seem to be that "competitive." Can anyone elucidate further on this? Thanks !
