Hey hey! So decided to forgo attending a public university for nursing school. Real pain the buttox!!! Super cheap super competitive. Now all bets are on getting into this private university nursing program.
Super flexible only meet 2 days a week and it's a 21 month program. Only downside is cost, which isn't to terrible $28 grand total and the drive. About a 80 mile round trip from home but you gotta do what you gotta do right.
If I do get in thinking of sticking with 40 hours first semester; 1 8 and 2 16s a week. Then dropping to 24 to 32 the last 3 semesters. Be a beauty if I could work something out with work having weekends off (Doubt it). Probably do 3 8s 2 during the week and one 1 weekend. Could do a 16 during the week and 1 8. Have to see where I am at with money wise when the time comes. So my total mileage won't be devastating think about 400 to 500 miles total for the week.
In limbo stage have all the prereqs done, TEAS done, and most of the BSN courses done (So when I get the RN can jump in finish up their RN to BSN program at a faster rate).
Program requires 4 to 5 clasees have to be taken at their school. So taking Stats, Healthcare Writing, Healthcare Spanish 1 & 2, and think one other class. I get a freebie class to but doesn't count towards GPA.
Where are you currently on your nursing journey and how long is your commute?
I got accepted to my BSN program for next Spring. The only prereq I have left is Patho which I will take in the Fall along with 2 extra classes for a minor for a /full/ time schedule so I can utilize a scholarship. I'm lucky that it is only a 30 min drive from me!
My commute is about an hour, which gets old but also just sort of becomes a blur now. I've been trying to find nursing podcasts to listen to, but not much seems to really line up with my classes, or at least the classes I want to have some more time with. I imagine it'll be easier to find things for med surg in August.
