Why When You Obtain A Bachelor’s Degree….?

Filed in The Category Florida Nursing Schools

And try to go back to school for a lower degree, the only financial aid you are offered is loans? I just got my Bachelors degree and wanted to go back to get my A.A. in nursing. I chose A.A. because my university is doing budget cuts. Anyway, I contacted the financial aid office at the community college to apply and was told that because I have a Bachelor’s degree, I will only get offered loans and no grants. I didn’t believe her, so I went and asked for a 2nd opinion and sure enough I got the same answer. That is a retarded policy. Why since I have a Bachelor’s degree and want to go back for a totally different degree I can only get loans? Why can’t I get grants? Is this everywhere or just Florida?

What Are Some Really Good Medical Schools/colleges In The Northeast?

Filed in The Category Delaware Nursing Schools

I’m going to be a freshman in high school this year, but I already know what I want to be when I’m older. I’m interested in becoming a surgeon who works in the ER (yes, I know it takes about 12 years and I have to intern and all that), but I’m at a loss for what schools are in my area. I am a straight A and B student who’s in all advanced placement classes. My school offers a program where once a student is a junior, we can participate in that program called “shared time”. We may take half our classes at our school and the other half at a local college where they offer a program for practical nursing. If you do the program for Junior and Senior year, we’re permitted to take the state licensing test and I could become an certified nurse by the time I graduate. I live in New Jersey and would prefer a school in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, or Maryland because my family doesn’t have enough money for me to travel far or get a dorm. What colleges would be best and would being a licensed nurse increase my chances of getting into medical school?

How Does One Become A Court Reporter In Montreal?

Filed in The Category Quebec Nursing Schools

Hi!
I’m a 34 year old single mother of 2 trying to find my nitch in this world. Now, I’ve decided to return to school in the hopes of getting a degree that will enable me to provide a good living for my family. Since I already have a DEC, I’ve decided to enroll in a 2yr nursing program. Honestly, I’m not too sure if this is really the right fit. I’ve been told court reporting was a career that was really on the rise and in high demand…similar to nursing. Only thing is, every site I fall on only caters to Americans.
Where can a Canadian (in Quebec) go to acquire a degree in court reporting? How many years will it take? Is the earning potential as lucrative here as it is in the States?
I thank you, in advance, for your responses!

Does The Prestige Of A College Matter For Nursing School?

Filed in The Category Private Nursing Schools

I have worked tremendously for the past 2 years at a local community college. As of right now, I have a 4.0 GPA, extracurricular activities, EMT-B, ex-military, and volunteering.
When I was at the transfer center preparing to apply to the 4 year universities (i’m deciding to forego the associate’s degree route). While I was applying to cal states across california, the majority of students majoring in other fields (business, engineering, liberal arts) advised me to apply to the best 4 year school out there (e.i. : UC berkeley, UCLA, UCSD). However, what they don’t understand is that there are limited prestige 4 year universities that offer the nursing BSN program in the state of California (UCLA and UCI) and that my major is highly impacted, which is why I am applying to cal states.
I’m pretty sure if I majored in a different subject, I’m pretty confident I could potentially be accepted to UC berkeley. From where I’m from, numerous counselors, advisers, professors have said that the cal state system is a joke. But, due to the shortage of nursing instructors, impacted major, and competitive major, is it acceptable to say that you went to a cal state because of those aforementioned reasons?
The reason why I stress about this is that my family asked me “which school will you be attending”? and I responded by saying “cal state long beach” and they looked in disappointment because everyone else in my family went to private school and UC’s. But, how come nobody understands that my major is highly competitive?
