Well, not so much NO desire...but are there any NP's out there that wanted to become (and had their sights set on being an NP from day 1) an NP with no real 'drive' to be an RN first? My cousin is finishing up her RN-MSN program and never really want...

Maybe I can't read between the lines, or maybe I'm missing it here: http://www.allnursingschools.com/faqs/nursing_2nd_career.php * but... I was wondering. Do you need a BSN to apply for an MSN program? I already have a bachelors in Psychology, if ...

That comes out to what...$42,000 a year after taxes (factoring in 40 work weeks?) I wonder how much TJU would cost tuition wise if you go there for undgrad (undergrad (RN/NP)) cheaper? - and then work at the hospital.

I know, and I know there are other options. I'm just looking local and the closest thing to me within about a 2 hour radius is the community college that offers as associates. Just wondering in case I do decide to later on explore other options, if ...

I think ADD can be somewhat curbed through behavior modification. If you're in college, most 4 years have a mental hygiene or counseling you could go to that may help you. They would probably be the best to tell you. Note: Mental health isn't onl...

How hard (gpa) wise would you say it is to get into CCBC (also...isn't there a test (TEAS?) you have to take before entering? I wonder what score is good enough to get in)?

More or less: You complete a BSN program, take the N-Clex, pass, you are an RN You complete an MSN program, take the ? exam, pass, and you are an NP? *With all MSN programs, it is a pathway to NP right? There isn't a master's given out then you have...

If you don't mind, I'd like some mucho advice here. Two tiers of questions: I started college with a poor gpa, but finished strong with a B.S. in Psychology. My overall gpa is a 2.81 with a 2.83 in sciences (including behavioral sciences like Pysch,...

I did talk to those schools and ask if I would be 'competitive' with my situation and all of them said they couldn't say. Which makes me wonder if they really can't say or they just want my money from the application.

So how many hours a day are you (avg) in class vs clinicals? How much will that be different next quarter?

For those of you who got in, if you don't mind, what's your cum. gpa/pre-req gpa? Or, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, what "may" be the avg.'s of those getting in.

Interested in these as well. What a typical day is like and, if you had to, how would you describe a nursing semester from undergrad (the equivalent of 3 science classes + 3 hour labs + 2 non-science classes)? A lot of people say no to take 2 or 3 ...

Well, you guys answered some of my questions already, thanks! From what I'm told, a semester in college is 16 weeks and 15 credits is full time. In the ACE program, it's quarters which is 13 weeks and taking 21 credits. I'm still trying to get a gras...

^should have used http://www.ratemyprofessor.com :)

Whoa, you are retaking classes you've already had and got B's in? I did take a class over (kinda). I was told that my medical microbiology wouldn't count as their micro requirement (Forget which school) so I had to take micro...which, to some school...

My post probably won't help much, because I tend to be 'everywhere' when it comes to explanations, but here goes! lol... I took A&P I, Medical Microbiology and Chemistry II one semester. Got an A, B, C, respectively. I had to quit my 8 hour a w...

Would you say that is the difference for most programs? It's not a heavier load during the semester, but you just go to school when you would normally have off (like at the end of winter and the summer)?

Do you guys know the answers to these questions: Are all your ACE classes at Hahnemann? How intense do you think the program is? If you could compare to a normal undergrad semester (i.e., I don't understand quarters...I've always had semesters) ...bu...

Are they more like (if you had to describe) Communications/Psychology with a little Science/Chemistry or weighted heavier in Science/Chemistry with a little Communications/Psychology?

Hello, I was wondering about a specific difference about NP vs PA's. I was talking to an NP last night and he said that NP's can go into any field they want to, regardless of their past. He said he could go into geri's, peds, surgery, ortho....whate...

Allright, so typically let's say, you have 5 nursing classes a semester. Would it be like taking A&P III, Mico II, Chem III, Psych II, and another Bio III type class?

Hmm, ok. So, for the most part, as a FNP you have most roads open, even in some specialties. It's up to the employer, for the most part, to determine if in their speciality requries that a specialist is needed or a FNP would be fine. However some ...

Well, not all PA schools are full-time. Although, like 98% of them are. I tried to find the NP, but I think it is what was mentioned here, I think he hates PA's. The whole time I was talking to him he had great things to say about RN's, NP's and MD's...

Hmm, I'm wondering then...I was talking to the NP about RN/NP/PA/MD stuff and he said about becoming a PA, "Why would you want to pigenhole yourself like that?" - Does anyone know what he could of meant by that? I asked him and he just kept on sayin...

so who would have more or less an opportunity to change fields w/o more education, a pa or np? or are they the same?
