My New Idea! |

Hi Everyone,
I'm getting addicted to this board and have to stop myself from asking every little thing that I want! LOL
So, on another thread I started, I stated that I was thinking of earning a degree in something similar to the field I am currently in: graphic design/advertising.
After speaking with my husband about wanting to finish a bachelor's degree (a long discussion), banghead he said that he would be more open to me earning a degree in something that can be more of a guarantee to having a future income with it. So after talking more, he said he would actually be behind me pursuing something like nursing, etc. BTW, he really does get the whole self-satisfaction of earning a degree, etc. and is very kind, but oh so practical! Especially since he has a bachelor's degree and doesn't feel it's worth much for owning his own business (what he does). I told him that at least you have it... you don't have some desire to earn it to fill a part of you that feels inadequate from time to time (just speaking for myself here).
Anyway, after looking at some of the pre-reqs required by most of the accelerated nursing programs, I will have to most likely complete the following somehow, whether it be at our B&M college here... which BTW is cheap and a 4-year college or online:
[COLOR="DarkRed"]
Can someone tell me what will be the quickest route and degree to look into with being able to use the classes I will need for any nursing program and tying them into a Bachelor's at the same time?[/COLOR]
Here is what I think I will need for entry into most after Bachelor's degree accelerated nursing programs:
Anatomy & Physiology - Need 8 Semester Hours, with labs
General Chemistry - Need 4 Semester Hours, with lab
Organic Chemistry - Need 4 Semester Hours, with lab
Biochemistry - Need 3 Semester Hours
Microbiology - Need 4 Semester Hours, with lab
Statistics - Need 3 Semester Hours
Introduction to Psychology - Taken at Cal State over 10 years ago
Also, I have completed the following, which from what most on here have told me, should transfer into the big 3:
Intro Biology (Entomology)
English Comp I
Intro Sociology
Intro Psychology
Public Speaking
Stage Make-up for Theatre (who knows, but it was at Cal State)
Women's Studies
Poly Sci
And of course my 90 credits at Brown (AAS in Vis Comm), NA accredited and possibly worthless... still have to see! :toetap:
Thank you for reading! And, if anyone thinks of some great threads I should read... that is wonderful too!

ACE Review |

Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry if this has been asked, but I honestly have done a search! :ack:
I don't think I'm getting this ACE Review thing. Do I have to find my school in that list in order for my credits to be reviewed? So, basically does my school already have to be an ACE Reviewed / Courses approved institution?
Background: I have an AAS in Visual Communications from Brown College (90 credits), a NA school listed with CHEA, ACCSC accredited.
On another post, some of you mentioned to me that maybe I can get my credits ACE reviewed for transfer credit into Excelsior or maybe the other 2.
Can anyone explain the ACE process? Or, if you know where the thread is where someone else asked this?
Thanks!

Letters of recommendation |

Anyone have trouble determining who to use for grad school letters of recommendation when the bulk of your credits are through testing? I don't have any professors who can say anything about me..
My thoughts were:
1. one from a professional in the field I am pursuing who knows me well
2. one from a private school dean who knows me well
3. one from my employer
Any suggestions or experiences out there?
Thanks much!
