Whose going or been to Barnes-Jewish College

I start at Barnes Jewish College, Upper Bsn in 2 months. Just checking if anyone has been or is currently attending to see what they think about it, advise and what not? Thanks in advance! Cheers.

compared to a 4 yr BSN at a regular college, is it really more expensive? As for patho, if you have Dr. Pennington which you most likely will-save your money and don't buy the book and buy a recorder. He is an awesome teacher and tests from his lecture and PPT's. I passed with an A and never opened my patho book. Write down his lectures and memorize them.

What schools are you comparing Barnes to? You're going to pay a pretty similar amount in other BSN programs such as UMSL and SLU. Remember that if you're looking at their general undergrad cost per credit hour, this is not an accurate reflection of what nursing students will pay, as there is always an additional allied-heath fee added per credit hour.

It makes sense that they don't disclose the textbooks. They don't want us trying using the ISBN codes to purchase online for likely much cheaper/used books. This sucks but it's just something that we'll have to deal with. I just look at the books as an additional tuition expense.

Wow. Thank you for the tip about Dr. Pennington. Why did you say I'd most likely get him? Is he the only one teaching that course? I hope I have a choice to choose my professors. I have so many questions :-).

Does Goldfarb offer any distance classes?

How about Pharmacology? I hear it's pretty difficult too. Who did you have with? Any other tips please?

Looks like you're doing very well in your courses. Thank you.

I believe compared to UMSL, Goldfarb is more expensive per credit hour. $600/credit hour. That is expensive. I think it's worth it but still I just think it's expensive.
