  1. Opinions on Rivier University for BSN?

    I did end up going there, yes. I finished my first year, aka the prerequisites, May 4th (that was the last day of finals). I'm starting Nursing 101 w/ clinical and lab and Microbio w/ lab in the fall. I've seen the sim lab, it's very good and pretty...
  2. I've been accepted to Rivier University in NH for the BSN program. It's cheaper than some of the other colleges I got into, and I liked the campus on a tour, so I'm highly considering going there. Does anyone have recent experience with Rivier nursin...
  3. I am starting work towards my BSN this fall, and as of now I want to be an ER/trauma nurse. This may change if I discover I actually can't handle that much blood (though I think I can), but that's the plan right now. When I looked into how you get a ...
  4. 1. That's good to know, thank you. 2. That makes sense. How long do you recommend working in another unit before going to the ED, and which units would you recommend?
  5. I found a list of programs by state and found 3 in MA and 1 in NH. I went to the websites listed AND googled them and got dead ends. Maybe it's because I'm searching on my phone, rather than my desktop? edit: I googled the suggested searches and did ...
  6. I have heard of ER residencies. Unfortunately, it seems there aren't that many of them near me. I think there's one in MA. Either that, or they just don't advertise/talk about the other ones very well. Currently, I live in central-southern MA. I'm mo...
  7. Are you going for BSN or ASN?

    In my area, BSN is required for most positions. I'm going for a BSN. I'm taking the standard straight out of high school 4 year program that includes the prerequisites in the first year.
  8. What Kind of Nurse Do You Want To Be?

    I'm a senior in high school right now. I'm applying to 4 year BSN programs. Actually, I already applied to 7. For specialty, at this point I want to be either a trauma nurse working in a major trauma center or an L&D nurse.
  9. I'm about to finish my junior year of high school, which means it's time to get serious about looking at colleges. My grades aren't the best (mostly B's and C's), but I expect my SAT scores will be very good. I did well on the PSAT. My last report ca...
  10. The nursing programs I'll be applying to are 4 year bsn programs that include the prerequisites in the curriculum. When you apply for the college, you apply specifically for the nursing program.
  11. Online pre-nursing courses?

    I really want to be able to complete my prerequisites before I finish high school. What are some online schools that offer nursing prerequisite courses for high schoolers? Or, if it helps, community colleges in Worcester county, MA that offer them?
  12. I want kids early but I don't think I could have kids during nursing school. Then I thought, maybe I could do evening classes at a community college and get my associate's degree there, so I can stay with the kid(s) or work during the day... My local...
  13. Evening Nursing Program at Community College?

    You can get a BSN online if you already are and rn with an associate's? That's kinda great...
  14. Evening Nursing Program at Community College?

    I think I might get my associate's at a community college then transfer to a state college for the BSN. Until then I could possibly work part time as an EMT
  15. How do prerequisites work?

    How do you get the prerequisites before you apply for nursing school? Do you have to take a year of college first, or take them as a summer program during high school or something? Or do they have you take them at the beginning of the nursing program...
  16. 1) Alfred State (SUNY) https://www.alfredstate.edu/academics/major?ID=Nursing-%20AAS This is stated on that page: "The associate’s degree in nursing (AAS) can be completed within a 2+2 format which includes two years of associate degree level coursew...
  17. I'm a sophomore in high school, so this year and the previous year we didn't get choices for classes. However, next year we get to choose science classes. I'm guessing I should take chemistry (recommended for everyone by the school) and anatomy. Not ...
  18. How do prerequisites work?

    Ok, so basically what you guys are saying here is that you have to go to regular college to take the prerequisites for a year or two before you can enter a 4 year BSN program? You can't enter the nursing program straight out of high school?
  19. I'm taking AP Statistics this year actually. You have to be taking or have taken algebra 2 for the class, so most people in my class are juniors and seniors, but I've always been pretty good at math so I took algebra 2 my freshman year (I took algebr...
  20. I meant just to get into nursing school, to be accepted, what grades should I get in high school?
