    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Whoa... I'm not sure how you think I have an attitude towards ADNs. I have never insinuated they are less important, knowledgable, 'not a real nurse', what have you. Truth be told, I would rather...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    THANK YOU, newhospicern! That was articulated very nicely and your advice is respectfully taken! You're right... I could study my hardest and still only improve my TEAS score enough to makeup 3-6...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Thanks. Loo17. The BSN program at SacState is actually 4 semesters. So I would be looking at graduating end of May 2017. But, yes, I understand what you are saying. Like I said before, it's just a...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Wow, there are some people on this site who seem like they really enjoy giving you the backhanded compliments or just being outright critical. Good to know! I figured this would be a safe forum to...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Everline: I have an Associates of Science in Gen Science from the same community college I will be taking the ADN seat with. Since I already have an Associates degree, the ADN program will just earn...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice, Esme. I guess I should have clarified that I already have an Associates Degree in General Science, so it would just be the addition of the RN certification/ licensure. But, yes,...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Thanks, rob4546, the NCLEX pass rates at ARC are quite good for a community college program. Earliest chance I would have at getting accepted to the BSN program is Fall 2015. I'm taking the ADN seat...

    Thanks for the advice windsurfer. I thought about that and did my research. There are some acute facilities that hire new grads... It's just extremely competitive. One of our regional hospitals has a...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the advice, caliotter, but, ouch! "Applying again probably won't yield much better results"? That's a bit harsh. The whole idea of applying again was supported by an action plan of...

    KathyVandy replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Thanks, akulahawkRN. :) Do the colleges allow you to apply to other programs once you've already started? I was told by ARC's advisor that they 'frown upon' that kind of thing. I think I will end up...

    KathyVandy replied to sj94's topic in California Nursing

    I'm sorry cuethemusic... I feel your pain. Now I'm stuck making a decision between taking the seat at ARC's ADN program then doing a RN-BSN bridge program or reapplying for Fall 2015 after I improve...

    KathyVandy replied to sj94's topic in California Nursing
