@sleepwalker @Numenor @amoLucia WOW!. Thanks for all the input, Karens. If you didn’t have anything beneficial to say you could have just not commented. Or better yet you could have suggested a program instead of being so demeaning.

@203bravo what school is that tuition information from please?

What program are these fees from? Thank you!

Hello all! I'm looking for some input on online NP (MSN) programs. What programs do you recommend or not recommend? Pros/cons? Do all of them cost roughly $800 a credit hour? Thanks for your input!

Thank you for your reply. I've already submitted an appeal to the Dean of our program. I also had my pharmacist write a letter as to why I cannot currently have the Varicella vaccine and when I can get the first and second dose. I'm still thinking about repeating my titer since I was so close to having the positive antibody.

I'm hoping to get some insight on the Varicella titer, I am starting a BSN program in August. I had my Varicella titer and it came back equivocal but the ranges are different than I've seen on other postings. I've seen a lot of ranges from 0.9-1.11. Mine is scaled from 135-165, 165 and above is said to be a postive titer, my results were a 160.7. And the equivocal range is huge 135-164.99. I'm wondering if I should retest the titer at another lab. Am I asking for the wrong titer? I ordered it from labreqs.com and had the test done at Quest Diagnostics, the results show Zoster virus antibody (IGG). I'm kind of in a predicament, I already have proof of 2 MMR vaccines but my last one was in 1999, so instead of getting the expensive MMR titer I had a booster MMR. I wasn't aware that if you don't get both the Varicella and MMR live vaccines at the same time that you then have to wait 1 month before receiving the other live vaccine. Since my Varicella titer came back equivocal I now have to get 2 Varicella vaccines and I'm unable to get the first for 4 weeks now because of the MMR vaccine. I'm supposed to have both Varicella vaccines or a positive titer before August 1st.

I was just accepted into a highly competitive accelerated BSN program. I really thought I wouldn't get in and now I'm finding that I'm not as excited as I thought I would be. I have a 15 month old that I stay home with much of the week, I'm currently only working 3 days a week. The program starts in August and it's an hour commute from where we live. The schedule for the first half of the first semester isn't bad, but clinicals pick up the second half so I will have class 2 days a week then 12hr clinicals 3 days a week. I'm already feeling guilty about the time I won't be getting to spend with him. I'm 30 and I know nursing school is challenging but I was hoping to get some insight from moms that have been in my shoes.

Hello, I currently have a Bachelor's degree in Biology and am trying to find an online program in which I can obtain a BSN without already being an RN. I have yet to find an online program that allows you to do clinicals in a local area (I am located in Arkansas). If anyone knows of such a program/school please let me know!
