    Too low of gpa to get in?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Jamjams's topic in School, College Programs

    Shameless plug for my article - https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/applying-to-nursing-1048760.html . It has advice for your GPA situation, which hopefully

    University of Rochester ABPNN Sept 2016

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Esmeraldap's topic in School, College Programs

    I've tried to research this program, which sounds very promising. But, could someone explain how they plan on managing the cost of this program, after they graduate? I believe the cost should be...

    Kaplan Entrance Exam

    oldsockventriloquist replied to HopeinGod's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So the first thing I would suggest is determining what subjects you are struggling with. To do this, first you need to figure out how the test is divided for each subject and how much time you might...

    I have an AA from CC, can I apply for an accelerated BSN program?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to hollycamillex3's topic in General Nursing

    Again, you usually need a bachelor's degree for an ABSN. With your AA being in another field than nursing, you should look at a BSN program, especially two year ones where you'd start as a junior....

    NYU ABSN Fall 2016

    oldsockventriloquist replied to MissOhh's topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone actually calculated how long it will probably take to pay back the loans for NYU, given the expected new grad salary in this area? I'm assuming everyone has a degree already, since it's an...

    $100,000 for accelerated BSN to MSN?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to dre13day's topic in General Nursing

    First, it would be good to know if that MSN pertains to getting an NP license, once you're done with school, meaning no additional schooling needed. If you will not be becoming an NP, then I don't see...

    Accelerated BSN (/MSN) that have scholarships

    oldsockventriloquist replied to disneyprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I forgot to mention about looking at military benefits (which I only have a basic understanding of, so double check what's stated here) in your family, receiving GI bill benefits if you're willing to...

    Free Money????

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Dyvinite's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely check with your school's financial aid office before proceeding. They would likely have a list of scholarships that are applicable to your situation. I would be wary about applying...

    Nursing corps scholarship 2015-2016

    oldsockventriloquist replied to Jm12345's topic in General Students

    If you don't get an answer on here, I believe there is contact information found in the NURSE corps.

    Accelerated BSN (/MSN) that have scholarships

    oldsockventriloquist replied to disneyprincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many nursing programs will have a financial aid and scholarships section on their websites and if you don't see one, you could inquire about it via email or phone for someone with bachelor's and...

    Has anyone had any luck who applied for the scholarship shortly after being accepted into a nursing

    ADN vs ABSN (cost vs job opportunity)

    oldsockventriloquist replied to LGDee's topic in General Students

    Yah, so if room is approximately $14k, that should be about the cost for one year in many areas, just to gauge the duration of the program. 71k for one year is incredibly expensive. Just to give you...

    How do you know when to get an order?

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have always wondered when there is a physician on-call, what autonomy do you have in your unit and when must you get permission for something? My next question is, do you trust verbal orders or do...

    How do you know when to get an order?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    But, don't you have multiple witnesses in the OR. I guess in that circumstance it could be better, since many people can hear what the surgeon is saying. Although, it can be pretty loud in the

    How do you know when to get an order?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    I guess this is a good policy, but I'm wondering how often facilities institute policies like that one. Also, I think this a reasonable thread that is relevant to this forum section, since if...

    How do you know when to get an order?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    So most of the time, when there is no status change, you don't call. If there is something you need from the unit supply (non-pharmacy) AND it does not effect the status of the patient in any...

    PMHNP Outlook

    oldsockventriloquist posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, I've been doing some research on becoming a PMHNP. I think the work seems pretty cool, but wanted to hear how great the demand is for nurse practitioners in mental health. Upon researching on...

    PMHNP Outlook

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    So, if there are not enough psychiatrists or if they cost too much, how are the mental health facilities usually staffed? Are there usually a number of PMHNPs under one or two psychiatrists? If so,...

    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    I'd also be curious to hear how others financed their ABSN

    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    It would actually cost about the same for some of ABSN and BSN programs, considering the time difference and room and board. The lowest cost would be the ADN to RN to BSN route. However, less and less...

    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    To those that state that I should avoid getting into debt to begin with, I want to say that if you have a degree all ready, you qualify for very little financial aid. That means that even if you were...

    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    What's your plan for overcoming that debt? How much are planning on paying per year? To @TheCommuter, unfortunately, that is what ABSN programs usually cost. That salary is more along the average...

    How did you pay off your student debt?

    oldsockventriloquist replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in General Nursing

    Compared to the cost of some programs, that does not seem like a whole lot. I know many programs can cost $50k+. I'm curious to see how people have developed plans to pay it off in a short period of...
