Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies! I had no idea that Owens had a 3 year wait! That is ridiculous! What are you supposed to do in the meantime? I can't even see new HS grads waiting that long! They need to pay those teachers more so the wait list isn't so long! I have looked at Mercy and Lourdes, and they are quite expensive, not to mention their requirements and curriculum seem tough, not that NS isn't, but WOW! I think that I'll go with UT. The BSN route looks so much easier. The first two years are basiclly science and math classes, and the last two years at MCO are ONLY nursing classes. I like the idea of having all your time devoted to nursing classes at one time without having to focus on other classes at the same time. Again, thanks! You have helped me decide! I still can't believe that there is a 3 year wait at Owens! Kristi :)

Hello YOU GUYS (Just read the other thread I live in Toledo and I am trying to decide on what college to attend. It is more between Owens and Toledo. I'm not yet sure if I want an ADN or BSN. I am sooo much closer to UT. I will be open to any input, suggestions, or ideas. Thanks! Kristi :)

Have any of you diagnosed a patient, only to have the doctor look at you like you are crazy, and tell you that you were wrong, but it turns out that you were indeed right? My husband was having chest pain on his right side, so our GP ordeder a CT. It showed that he had nodular infiltrates. He also ordered bloodwork, which all came back normal. I told the doctor that I believed that he had Sarcoidosis. He said..."That's impossible, I ran an ANA and it came back negetive." I told him that an ANA was not diagnostic of Sarcoidosis, he just laughed and rolled his eyes at me. After many months of diagnostic testing, my GP decided to send him to a cardiothoracic surgeon. He ended up doing an opn lung biopsy, which proved that I was right. We had to follow up with our GP, and he said "I thought that's what was going on!" I was speechless. Anyone have similar stories to share? Kristi :)
