There are a ton of career possibilities in health care; nursing is just one of them. With your grades, it is extremely unlikely you would be admitted to a nursing program. Why not look at other, less science intensive, healthcare career options?

In my state, employers may be required to reimburse you for the CNA course. Basically, I think the first place you work for for 90 days (if within a year of taking the course), must pay. You might want to check if your state has something similar.

How'd it go? I'd think it'd be equivalent (thru extrapolation), but you might want to contact potential employers about it. As for a BAN vs. BSN, it appears to be equivalent. i found this at Magnet Recognition Program® FAQ: Data and Expected Outco...

Oregon State and UC Berkeley extension also have online organic chemistry courses. I'd check your local community college to see if it had a class. Organic chemistry is one of the few courses I would not chose to do online (and I do everything I pos...

People are overweight for reasons over than sloth and overeating. One's BMI is just one measure of health, but it certainly is a very obvious one to others. For those who suffer from eating disorders and/or other conditions that prevent or hinder th...

Surf these boards. Not only have plenty of fantastic nurses "failed" (you didn't fail) a prerequisite, they failed a nursing course or got kicked out of nursing school. It can be done.

You should talk to your school. Some places require that classes be taken within a certain time frame. Some prefer or even require you take classes at that school. Some won't let you repeat classes. For of me, I had a less than stellar GPA from m...

So you are not currently a nurse? I don't think this program is appropriate for you, but let us know what you find out. Augsburg's website states: Selection of candidates will be made on the basis of an evaluation of the following items: An earned ...

While I'm sure that I'll get some bias view points on this board, but I recently came across the anesthesiology assistant program. I had not heard of this type of program before. It appears to be limited, at least at this point in time, to the southe...

I am starting my ADN program this fall, with an ultimate goal of CRNA (maybe....). Several of the programs in the area where I live allow a bachelors degree in something other than nursing, as long as you are a RN. I would take a look at the program...

I'll be 43 when I start my ADN program and I'll finish at 44. I'll be 44 in a year and a half either way. If you do a cost benefit analysis, the cost of a community college for a RN is going to be made back in higher wages in Avery short time frame....

I don't know where you are, but I can tell you that the ATI site lets you search for test locations by city. For example, there is a test in Brainerd on 5/23. I suggest searching for locations near you to see if there is a date that works with your s...

Acroagogue -- me too (night & weekend). I'm not looking forward to the 9 houses of class two days a week. That will be rough!

I got in at NHCC. Anyone else going to NHCC? For those who will be reapplying for the Spring admission, I wish you the best of luck.

Many years ago, I had a classmate with a similar background to you. He was deaf, but got a cochlear implant at some point. His speech was difficult for many to understand, but I usually did not have a problem understanding him. Most of my classmate...

St. Kate is starting a program this year as well. https://www2.stkate.edu/nurse-entry-level/home

I realize this thread is old, but I was happy to see that someone else is an attorney who wants to leave the law. I am doing the ASN route; hopefully, I'll find a job when I'm done and then get my BSN online. Due to timing, an accelerated BSN or di...

I have no opinion on Chamberlain, or any other school. I do have comments on the cost. I have been there/done that on school loans. You sign the papers, never realizing what it all means. Do you know how much it will cost, start to finish? If not f...

Admissions are very competitive. At each school, the applicants will be ranked based on their GPA and their TEAS score (divided by 10). In other words, if you have a GPA of 2.75 and a TEAS of 75%, your total is 2.75 + 75/10 = 10.25. The higher your ...

With the MANE program, you just have to complete the first semester of classes in order to apply (there are other requirements, but these are the classes you have to have done): ENGC 1101 Freshman Composition CHEM 1050 Foundations of Organic and B...

I'm applying to NHCC, but I'm not sure if that matters much. On NHCC's website, it states: The Associate of Science in Nursing is designed to articulate to: Bethel University B.S.N. in Nursing degree Metropolitan State University B.S.N. in Nursing de...

Before the start of the program, you will need to have: 1. Documentation of current BLS (Basic Life Support) for Healthcare Providers through the American Heart Association. 2. Completion of current Minnesota Human Services Background Check. If an ap...

I will be starting an ADN program in the fall. This will be a career change for me. I already have a BS. Unfortunately, a direct entry/accelerated program was not an option for me (I had a little difficulty in the grades department back then). Alth...

Where I am, they have a new dual admission program. You go to a community college and do the ADN, then you can go to the university to get your BSN if you want. The best part? admissions is based on just on the first semester of prerequisites and ...

NHCC's website mentions an orientation, but all it says is that it takes place after acceptance into the program. Your best bet is to contact the schools and see if the dates have been scheduled yet.
