1. How to become a PMHNP?

   Julie_0507 posted a topic in Psychiatric

   Hi everyone, I'm currently in an ADN program but my background is in psychology, in which I have a BA. Given my non-nursing baccalaureate degree, what would be a good path for me to take to become a...

2. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Then can I just go straight into a Ph.D. program given I have a BA in another field (and I will have an ADN)? That would be the best for me, I think. I am ready for graduate school. I haven't seen any...

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   PMFB-RN: These are helpful comments. Which do you think would be faster given I have a BA in another field: BSN-->Doctorate or MSN-->Doctorate. I'm using "doctorate" because I may actually want...

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   are_you_a_llama: You're right about the RN-BSN route. I looked into a program that's offered at a college nearby and the only required class that I don't have is Nutrition, which I could probably pick...

5. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   med-stallion: I've considered becoming an NP but I'm not sure that's what I want to do. I'm aware I would have to get a DNP to become an NP, to become any APRN for that matter. I'm just not sure. I...

6. Took Hesi Entrance Exam today at UALR

   Julie_0507 replied to ladyvp05's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

   Great job! My weakest area was A+P. I didn't even know it was going to be on the test! I've heard that if colleges require prior HS science courses then those will be on the HESI Entrance exam. Well,...

   Akanini: That's great! That sounds like something I could do. What's your concentration? I see there's informatics, education, and clinical systems management. I guess I have a while to think about it...

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Thanks for the responses, everyone. I've been MIA, I know. I've been finishing up my first semester of nursing school. It was rough but I made it. I appreciate everyone's responses. I've realized...

   Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   cocoisis: I'm not sure if a BSN is absolutely necessary. I have the same question. It seems like it wouldn't be if you get a MSN. But I've seen quite a few MSN programs that award the BSN upon...

10. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

    Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've read that a lot of nursing graduate schools do not require the GRE. I wouldn't be against taking it though. I should have already taken it. I was planning to go to grad school for psychology,...

11. BA in Non-Nursing Field -->BSN or MSN after ADN?

    Julie_0507 replied to Julie_0507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So_good124: I agree. The tuition is crazy for some accelerated programs. I'm fortunate to live close by a college that offers the ADN at a reasonable price. I really don't have the resources to...

    Hi everyone, I've been researching advice on my specific situation for quite a while, mostly by looking up related posts on allnurses.com, but I haven't quite settled on an answer to my question. I...
