1. Should I even be considering nursing? (Asperger's)

   Morjayne4 replied to RustyS's topic in Career Support

   As a recent graduate of an accelerated program, I can clearly remember my first clinical instructor (who is an acute care np) telling my clinical mates and me that some of the best surgeons she knows have Asperger's. I think you're looking into a car...

2. GMU Accelerated BSN Fall 2016

   Morjayne4 replied to BrainsRCool's topic in School Programs

   I was accepted to VCU. I chose GMU over VCU for my own personal reasons. I wouldn't have to move and find a place which would have cost more $. Also, VCU is a year and a half program and I was able to take a leave of absence from my current job for u...

   Congratulations to you all! I'm currently in the program as well and live in Arlington. I wasn't thrilled when I found out that all of our classes were at the PW campus but it's actually not that bad of a drive and I can only think of one time traffi...

   Deej394- Did you not buy any textbooks beyond the first semester? Also, would you recommend using the shuttle between Fairfax and Manassas or was it more of a hassle? Thanks again

   @deej394 - I was wondering if you could recall when your test etc. were done for the Fall semester? I'm just wondering for winter break and will be flying across the country so I want to get an idea of when in December we more or less will be done w...

   Ugh I am not looking forward to the shoes...they're all so ugly. Also, check out pulseuniform.com, they've got pretty cheap scrubs in a variety of styles and colors etc. @deej394, thank you for all of the information you've provided, you've been EXT...

   Thank you kaw5cv! I just have a quick follow up opinion question. My friend used to live in Richmond so I know the area pretty well and I grew up in DC. I know that after school is over I want to return to the DC area so do you think it matters wh...

    Thank you for your insight! You may want to consider George Washington University in Ashburn, Virginia since they have Accelerated BSNs that start in the Spring as well if you don't want to wait for the Fall 2016 cycle. Good luck!

    @deej394 Thank you so much for all of the information you've provided. I was wondering how you and your classmates are doing grade wise. I don't need specifics but are most people feeling good about their GPA's as far as you know?

    Thanks Amanda! I know from previous years that usually a June or later orientation is best because then they'll have more updated information about any changes to the program for the upcoming year.

    Hey Talfan, I was admitted to this program last year but had to withdraw for family reasons before it began so I'm happy I've been given a second chance. I didn't attend the Patriot prelude but did do an evening transfer orientation. The first half...

    Congratulations Teena! I am in the same boat as you. I filled out my FAFSA back in February but I will definitely need personal loans as well just to live while I'm in the program. I know Wells Fargo has healthcare related loans and just research ...
