Congrats, I too, am hoping to be an OB nurse. That's really inspiring.

What are the hours for night and weekend classes at B&S?

I guess nobody has enrolled or is not speaking up!

I went to a for profit school so my credits did not transfer unfortunately. I wish I was able to tranfer something and the medical assistant training counted for something but community colleges aren't excepting medical assistant training as valid.

So do you have to pay monthly installments? I will not be working during school at all.

Yes I was thinking of applying but was a little afraid of the hefty school loan that I'll be stuck with after completing the program. I am supposed to be going in to speak with someone about the program pretty soon and was just wondering about others experience at WCU. I can understand completely about having support before starting the program, makes plenty of sense.

Wow! I didnt know having a family had such an impact on the work schedule. Makes plenty of sense to me.

@GrnTea that's exactly what I wanted to know, how nursing has changed your life and others around you. Your response put a smile on my face. As the old saying goes: Knowledge is POWER!

How has nursing changed your life? Best decision you've ever made? Tell us how it has played a positive role in your life.

@britbrat23 How did orientation go?

Concorde grads where are you now? How was your experience at this particular school? Which program did you choose? LVN or RN? I am asking because I'm thinking of taking the entrance exam to attend this school for the 15 month RN program. Please give feedback, everyone is welcome :)

True. Maybe it will help someone else searching for these types of schools. :)

Have you ever thought about going to a private school? I know, I know its expensive but maybe they will give you a chance.

Your classes taken at DNI will not transfer to a university. Your LVN certification WILL transfer though. You just can't quit in the middle of the program. Once you are finished you'll be able to bridge from LVN-RN and your school of choice will let you know which pre-reqs you need to take. For example, El Centro wants A&P, you may have already taken that and your classes at TCC will just need to be evaluated is all. You're actually ahead of the game if you ask me. After DNI, decide which school you'll bridging at and go from there. Concorde Career Institute also has an LVN program (13 months) and RN program (15 months) just incase you didnt know. Good luck on your endeavors :-)

Yes but when the shoe is on the other foot, what goes around comes around.
