  1. Which would be better--MSN or Ph.D?

    karmyk replied to catlady's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Have you considered any other schools for your MSN or PhD? I know that Samuel Merritt College has an online distance-learning MSN program. While the Prereqs state that applicants should have a BSN,...

  2. Need some help!!!!!!

    karmyk replied to starlitex1280's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My bad, then. I'm just going to take this as a lesson to avoid all BSN vs. ADN discussions on this

  3. Change in BSN requirements

    karmyk replied to texan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    All of the NP entry-level masters programs that I've considered actually require their students to work as nurses a minimum required of hours before starting the meat of the post-licensure portion of...

  4. Need some help!!!!!!

    karmyk replied to starlitex1280's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And I was just trying to offer a different point of view, since all of the advice here was ADN-heavy.

  5. CliffsTestPrep - NET

    karmyk replied to abrainerd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only book you need is the ERIworld guide. Not only is it based specifically on the NET: it was written by people who helped develop the NET. The practice tests are so similar to the NET that...

  6. Need some help!!!!!!

    karmyk replied to starlitex1280's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man, you must have a lot of hate for BSN

  7. What to do? What to do?

    karmyk replied to adurham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try re-taking the courses at a different school or with a different instructor. Also, apply for other programs in Georgia. There are other schools out there that might give you a better chance (or, at...

  8. Need some help!!!!!!

    karmyk replied to starlitex1280's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you should also take into consideration what sort of specialty you'd like to work in as a nurse... because in some hospitals, there are some areas (i.e. Pediatrics) that want a BSN instead of...

  9. Seeking some advice with my career

    karmyk replied to nepsys's topic in Post Graduate Students

    the answer is: it depends (sorry... my favorite calc teacher used to say this a lot). do you want to work pediatrics or possibly some other specialized nursing field? i think in many hospitals, they...

  10. NET practice tests

    karmyk replied to *lisa*'s topic in General Students

    This is probably the closest online practice test I've found (for the NET reading comprehension portion): http://www.hfcclab.info/NET/readingprelude.htm I posted the link to this portion because it...

  11. Samuel Merrit Info .Direct entry

    karmyk replied to Orthonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's strange... While I've heard some complaints about the ABSN program before (part of the reason why I decided on the ELMSN instead of the ABSN program... but problems are always expected from...

  12. Info on direct entry w/MSN + BSN?

    karmyk replied to Myethpio's topic in Post Graduate Students

    There are several ABSN programs out there that are only 12 months

  13. necessity of prereqs if you already have a science degree

    karmyk replied to neidin23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In neuroscience, you looked at science/the body/life/etc. from one particular perspective. Nursing looks at it all from a different perspective. Thus, nursing is going to require different classes...

  14. Info on direct entry w/MSN + BSN?

    karmyk replied to Myethpio's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Why not just do an Accellerated BSN program and then get an MSN shortly afterwards? If you plan it out semi-carefully, you can actually get it to work out to taking roughly the same amount of time to...

  15. Samuel Merritt ELMSN... anyone else applying

    karmyk posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi! I have an interview with them in a few days... I was just wondering if anyone else was applying for their Fall 2006 ELMSN-FNP (or even CM) program and was scheduled to interview on Feb 21st? (I'm...

  16. Accepted into Samuel Merritt ELMSN?

    karmyk replied to wildmountainchild's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wrote a nifty little blog entry about the NET: http://rxmetamorphosis.blogspot.com/2006/04/increasing-your-net-worth.html Not quite sure... I know that the ELMSN-FNP program had about 300...

  17. Samuel Merritt ELMSN... anyone else applying

    karmyk replied to karmyk's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I took the NET for the ABSN program... at the time, I didn't think the actual score factored into their overall scoring system for each individual applicant, so I didn't really pay attention to my...

  18. Pharmacology as a pre-req?

    karmyk replied to ORaddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My cousin is currently in a program that doesn't have a distinct, official pharmacology class. Instead, they integrate pharmacology into the curriculum. She told me that she understands why they do it...

  19. ANy guys from GA in here?

    karmyk replied to 2bnurseguy_2005's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wasn't looking for nightlife in Georgia (hell, if anyone wants nightlife there, they can find all the semi-decent nightlife they want in "Hotlanta")... I think I missed Northern California... and...

  20. Does anybody work as a CNA?

    karmyk replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work full time as a CNA at the moment... but I already finished my science prereqs that require labs. Right now, I'm just taking online classes, so it isn't too difficult to fit things around my...

  21. Accepted into Samuel Merritt ELMSN?

    karmyk replied to wildmountainchild's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It's called a private message. ;p I'll shoot you one with my e-mail

  22. Accepted into Samuel Merritt ELMSN?

    karmyk replied to wildmountainchild's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yaaay! I finally found a classmate through Allnurses.com! Which program are you doing? I'll be starting the ELMSN-FNP program this fall. xD I actually ran into someone who's also in our class (FNP...

  23. Nursing Shoes-Where are the best and most comfortable

    karmyk replied to nursinginga's topic in General Students

    I'm working as a CNA in a Skilled Nursing Facility for the few months I have to wait before nursing school starts this fall, and I'm using these white cheap Nurse Mate sneakers I got for a little over...

  24. Are people treating you like a nurse and asking you nursing questions?

    karmyk replied to Faeriewand's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's something that happens to a lot of people, regardless of what field they decide to go into. When I was still getting my undergrad as an electrical engineer, people would always ask me all...

  25. Jittery about NET test

    karmyk replied to GAA30's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dunno if this helps any... but I wrote a blog entry in the past about my experience with the NET.
