   Tejon, You got it: Good Luck! I'm pretty sure you're going to be happy with him. He's a very kind & patient person, and is good at explaining things with cartoony analogies where he attributes human personalities to molecules and body parts to ...

2. CCC A & P teachers - anyone had Watson or Kop?

   tofutti replied to tejon's topic in Oregon

   Watson: Is he a rockstar of an a&p teacher? I don't know. But I took him for another science class, got an A, and enjoyed his personality a lot. When his lectures wandered into a&p type topics, I could tell he knew a lot about it. If it were ...

4. Nervously declined

   tofutti replied to NurseJeanB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   JB, I did that for awhile too--sat on 2 acceptance letters to think it over. Because what if I chose one school and then, say, a meteor landed on it? And I had no option b? Congrats on getting in and having choices! Tofutti

   tofutti replied to KrisPDX's topic in Oregon

   Hi Evan, Were you able to get a facility and department that you wanted for your new grad job? That's my biggest concern. Hi Kris, I agree with you, I don't know how they'll decide which 20 get it, since all 60 looked good from what I could tell. ...

9. UP Providence Scholarship

   tofutti replied to KrisPDX's topic in Oregon

   Hi Kris, I'm waiting on that letter too. I'm still on the fence over whether I would take them up on it though, because of the strings attached. The students I saw on interview day seemed like a top notch group. Professional, friendly, polished. ...

12. Q re: schools + NCLEX pass rate

    tofutti replied to stillpressingon's topic in General Students

    Where I live, most schools are in the 94% and above range. BUT, and this a big but NCLEX pass rate is a statistic that actually tells you nothing. Instructors can simply weed out the weaker students and voila, 100% pass rate. If it's looked at in c...

    Hi Christy, Yes you can get student loans to cover your cost of living expenses too. The loans can be through a federal student loan program or a bank or wherever you like. Well worth it for an accelerated program, I would think! :wink2: Tofutti
