  1. Has anyone used the online schools for their nursing pre-reqs?

    ToTheStudent replied to erinerin87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They are right about checking with the schools you will be applying to. Because some may not allow it for the science prerequisite classes. With that said I took biostats online through Johns Hopkins....

  2. ABSN Program for Non-Nursing Majors

    ToTheStudent replied to kulinat's topic in California Nursing

    3.3 gpa isn't bad, although generally most have higher, but anyways you definitely need to thoroughly articulate why you want to pursue nursing in your essay, a good well-written essay can go a long...

  3. ACNP Programs?

    ToTheStudent replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Always apply! I got into Johns Hopkins, and I sure wasn't the top of my class, just meet the requirements they ask for and put in the effort, didn't apply to Georgetown, but they are great also...

  4. Options for scrub pants

    ToTheStudent replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The new style Greys Anatomy scrubs for men are the bomb. The Derek style or whatever they are called. Both the top and bottoms are much more comfortable than any other I've own. However, you do pay...

  5. direct-entry bsn advice

    ToTheStudent replied to Summertimefine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At Ole Miss you use to be able to receive early acceptance into BSN program out of high school, or more like conditionally accepted if you finish the prerequisite classes your first two years, meaning...

  6. ACNP Programs?

    ToTheStudent replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I did end up choosing one that required the GRE although the two that did not require it where I was also accepted were equally excellent programs. I bombed the math portion of mine so with that said,...

  7. ACNP Programs?

    ToTheStudent replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Oh and obviously mine was for direct entry students but the MSN application process is all very

  8. ACNP Programs?

    ToTheStudent replied to MallysMama's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I made a post that may be helpful to you so here's the link! https://allnurses.com/post-graduate-nursing/all-direct-entry-924276.html Also I visited Vanderbilt and heavily researched UCSF (really...

  9. Trying to decide between accelerated BSN, entry-level MSN-NP, and ADN

    ToTheStudent replied to NorthBeach's topic in Male Nursing Students

    All I will say is that UCSF is really excellent, like mouth watering excellent, it's worth the money and just think hundreds of other students are applying with the same loan risks you are. With that...

  10. For All Direct-Entry Applicants

    ToTheStudent posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Advice for direct entry applicants: Choose a specialty: Choose one specialty and apply based on that specialty. Do not apply for one specialty hoping you'll be able to switch! Acceptance chances:...

  11. My school says to only buy books from their bookstore...

    ToTheStudent replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    Interesting, I know sometimes I never once used the access codes that we "needed" in fact I almost never did. But maybe you can find a former student from your specific school and ask them! Definitely...

  12. Why are hospital television documentaries okay?

    ToTheStudent replied to Semolina's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I think the shows are good in moderation. They're obviously not going to compromise patient care for the show and it's not like the hospitals featured actually need the extra press or anything. They...

  13. Student Loans for ABSN? Need Advice!!

    ToTheStudent replied to lmnop9999's topic in General Students

    Personal opinion I wouldn't want to take on new debt of that kind if I already had debt. Cost of living is very high in Boston. You'd pay at least that in Boston. And you'd be very lucky to pay that...

  14. For All Direct-Entry Applicants

    ToTheStudent replied to ToTheStudent's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I did not, and thats definitely just my opinion everyone will have their unique situation! I just wouldn't want to go overboard with debt. Some state schools that are direct entry are obviously a lot...

  15. Looking for a Direct Entry Nurse Practitioner Program

    ToTheStudent replied to historymajor's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Along with Northeastern, and Penn. there are some that are set up a bit differently like you can be accepted into both the MSN and BSN portion or just the BSN. Johns Hopkins use to be that way and NYU...

  16. NP School

    ToTheStudent replied to mll55's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I can't help much with your questions since I'm currently enrolled and dont have much experience but if you decide to apply this post might be helpful in that process...

  18. direct entry nursing

    ToTheStudent replied to Easyas123247's topic in Men in Nursing

    I spoke to Vandy, Johns Hopkins, Columbia and Yale over the phone and visited two schools. Some schools like it some don't I guess but everyone I spoke to was very helpful! I'd just do your research...

  19. Debt for Direct Entry NP

    ToTheStudent replied to KNNMNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm enrolled in one now! I think the main thing to look at is whether you can attend a private or public university. Private schools like Vandy, Emory, MGH, Yale, Penn, Columbia, Northeastern and so...

  20. direct entry nursing

    ToTheStudent replied to Easyas123247's topic in Men in Nursing

    Firstly, thank you for service in our Navy! The skills and discipline you've acquired in the navy will be invaluable. You have good scores, although if you have an opportunity to bump us that GRE...

  21. rn experience before ACNP

    ToTheStudent replied to lmarti10's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Some schools do not require any , although it's very, very rare. But at least one year full time would be best. Although, since ACNP is really a different job, (you're an NP and not a Nurse) I would...

  22. Yale 2015

    ToTheStudent replied to BellyfullBirth's topic in Post Graduate Students

    They have excellent personnel in the admissions office. Very helpful. My advice, as far as applying, be prepared for a tricky essay. I won't reveal what it requires, as you'll find out soon, but just...

    ToTheStudent replied to KNNMNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Goodness I used the wrong your. Biggest pet peeve and I did to myself. But anyways, yeah it's worth

  24. Debt for Direct Entry NP

    ToTheStudent replied to KNNMNP's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I feel it's definitely worth it, and I think hundreds of other students must feel the same since they're taking on the debt as well at these same schools. Every major direct entry cost about the same...

  25. 2.91 GPA as Bio major to Grad-Entry NP Chances?

    ToTheStudent replied to kyrae_04's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'd pay off debt from undergrad before starting a new program. Most direct entry programs are extremely expensive already, extremely. You don't want that interest building for those three years....
