Got questions about Nursing Program, well we've got the answers at Nursing Online Learning.
Q: Nursing Program?
How long after you send your application to a Nursing program do you get accepted or rejected?
Who gets results first? The person being accepted or the one being rejected?
Or is it just the same for both?
A: Totally depends on the school. Some take applications on a first come first serve basis, others have an application time window of several weeks or months and then evaluate all the applications at the same time.
Hopefully you'll hear something within a few weeks at most, but call your admissions office and ask them - they are the only ones who can tell you their timeline.
Good luck to you!
Q: nursing program?
do all college require assessment test before getting into nursing program?
A: I believe it is the associates program that does, however universities usually don't (I believe) because they require more prereqs to get into the program. Check into other programs to see what your best option is.
Q: When you enter a nursing program, do you also have to fulfill general education requirements?
I'm almost finished with nursing pre-reqs, and will be applying to nursing schools at universities pretty soon. I want to get a Bachelor's in Nursing, but do I also have to fulfill the university's general education requirements?
Or all you need for a BSN is pre-reqs + nursing program classes?
A: There are definitely general ed. requirements.
Q: How long does the nursing program at University of Illinois take?
I have been admitted to UIUC as DGS (undeclared). I now know that I want to get a bachelor's of science in nursing. How many years does this program take to complete?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as my parents are willing to pay four years, but definitely not five.
Thank you!
A: you work hard and keep your grades up you can do it in 4 years. You will need to be on top of things your first year or two and make sure your grades are really good in order to be accepted into the school of nursing your first time out. If all goes well and according to plan...then you can for sure do it in 4 years...and i now plenty of people who have. Good luck!
Q: What extra things should I do before applying to nursing program?
Before I apply for the nursing program in January 2011 I was wondering if there are any extra things I could do that will improve my chances of getting in to the program. I am already a CNA. Any thing will help its just a very selective program so im really just looking for tips thanks!
A: All you can do is go by the school's admission criteria and work at improving whatever you can in terms of their requirements. Without knowing their criteria I can't really elaborate on specifics. Some have a flat rubric which leaves no room for doing "extra" other than making sure your GPA is as high as it can be, complete as many of the general ed. courses required before you start the program as you possibly can, etc. Not many schools give extra "credit" to people who have worked in the medical field or do volunteer work, not many schools (especially the ADN programs) interview applicants so you can't charm them, etc.
Best of luck to you.
Q: How do I find out if my school's nursing program is going to lose its accreditation?
I have heard through the grapevine that the community college that I attend is in the process of losing its accreditation for the nursing program due to many people flunking out and failing the N-CLEX. I want to see the information for myself because I am planning on applying to the nursing program after the Spring semester. Is there somewhere that I can go to see this for myself. I know that I can ask the counselors, but who knows if they will be truthful about the situation. Thanks for your help.
A: You can only be sure that the program is going to lose accreditation after it's already lost it.
It might happen, it might not.
But, seriously, if there are a bunch of people going through your school and failing the N-CLEX, do you think your odds for passing it are good if you go through the same schooling they do?
Q: What prerequisites do I need to take for the nursing program?

Q: How long did it take for UC Irvine to get an undergraduate nursing program?
I am a high school senior, and I was wondering how long it took UC Irvine to get an undergraduate nursing program. I would also like to know when UC Davis will be getting their undergraduate nursing program. If I go there will the nursing program start by the time I am there?
A: UC Davis will probably get an undergraduate nursing program up and running in about 8-10 years. I imagine it took UCI just as long.
Q: What is it like being in the nursing program at the Tech Center?
I'm in high school and i just found out that i didn't get into dental, but got into nursing. I want to know what Exactly is going on in this program before i finalize my schedule for my senior year.
A: The 'Tech Center' program sounds like one of those private $$ career/tech for-profit schools unless it's with the county vo-tech school or community college which tends to be a lot more affordable :)
Here is a website for general career information: http://www.bls.gov/oco and can search 'licensed practical nurses' or whatever other career that piques one's interest.
Please do talk with your guidance counselor about which exact courses to take for next year. Those interested in nursing should be strong in the sciences including biology, chemistry and anatomy & physiology. Just fyi that the nursing (as well as mental health/social work) field is supposed to have a high (emotional) burn-out rate, and that includes all levels within the industry.
For possible volunteer opportunities (usually non-direct patient care): http://www.volunteermatch.org The local hospital may be in need of junior volunteers and one may just call the main number and ask for the volunteer coordinator, if interested.
Q: How many hours a week will the nursing program take up?
Asking a million questions ahead of time, lol.... I was wondering, if going full-time, how many hours a week does a person go to school for when going through a community college nursing program to get a degree as a registered nurse? And is it the same amount of weekly hours for the prereq's too?
Just trying to see which hours I will be working around.... so a ballpark of hours would be nice too, thank you!
A: The nursing program will consume your life. You need to study, study, study, and you will be exhausted.
Q: What's a university that has a good nursing program and is ethnically diverse?
Im a sophomore in high school and i am thinking of a university to go to.
I want a university that has a very good nursing program and is ethnically diverse.
A: I would suggest a university with an accredited nursing program, a high NCLEX pass rate and one that fits into your budget...regardless of the ethnicities present.
Q: What classes are needed for a nursing program?
I was wondering what high school classes would look good if you wanted to join a nursing program.
A: Definately Antaomy and Physiology if it is offered at your high school. I took it senior year and it helped a lot because your going over the basic skeletal and body parts of the human body that you will refer back to in nursing school a lot. Um.. I would say any other health or science related classes like health, chemistry, biology, and some math would also look good. Take some extra science classes that you think would be interesting and all the basic classes like those are always reviewed again when taking your prerequisites for nursing school so If you have the basic chemistry, bio, anatomy down then you should be in good shape. Good luck with your nursing career path!
