   Puerto Rico school feedback - thread #2

   ChanelCinq replied to WorldTravelingYogi's topic in US Territories

   Yes they did change this. I had a friend that had a really bad GPA from her first Bachelors. She applied the exact year they changed it which was in 2012 I believe. She had like a 2.40 GPA and they did not let her in. That is after she already sta...

   CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

   ChanelCinq replied to WranglerRN's topic in California

   I would call the National League of Nursing on Monday. Ask them directly. Don't believe what the school tells you as they are only looking out for themselves. I am sure things will be clarified more and more each day. Here is an SF Gate article th...

   CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

   ChanelCinq replied to WranglerRN's topic in California

   My professor who used to teach at CCSF said that anyone in a program prior to July 31st 2013 (this year) will be able to complete it and the credits will be transferable. However, anyone starting a new program as of August 1, 2013 (this year) may be...

   There are pros and cons with both schools. I had a friend that started at UMET and ended up leaving. SHe started in Jan of last year and was really the only accelerated student so they kept canceling her classes because of enrollment. I think if y...

   My gripe with the scrubs is the guys get any old white scrubs and we have these striped hospital green ones. I did a CNA course last summer to help get me into nursing school because some CA state schools give brownie points for those things. Anywa...

   OK I am going to just keep my mouth shut on this one because I think I am confusing everyone and what I have in my head may not be what really will happen. So if a former grad could chime in and straighten me out please do so. Thanks! Nope I ...

   Oh no not everything. 60 USD was for the stethoscope, the blood pressure cuff, the penlight, the weird scissors we need, and some other stuff. It was the whole kit. The uniform was 40 for the set. The patch cost 1.60 to sew it on but I am not su...

   MMR (Measels, Mumps, and Rubela) is an easy one. I thought I had it but I was going to volunteer at Stanford. Stanford has a huge laundry list of things you have to do before you can volunteer (like I am sure all hospitals do). The employment clin...

   I don't know but "Y" said only some clinicals require it. She said we do not have to get it in advance. I was under the impression if the hospital requires it for clinicals that they will do the testing. I could be wrong about that. But I know sh...

    Yes this is true. Both the accelerated and non-accelerated group can take the NCLEX for the AND/LVN/LPN (what ever you call it in your state) after pediatrics. As I posted previously

    You cannot take the NCLEX for your RN until you are finished with the program. However all students can take the LVN/LPN/ADN (every part of the country calls it something different) after you have finished pediatrics. ******* told us this yesterday...

    Yes they said some hospitals will accept the copy of the police report. Other schools want the original and will not accept the copy. The cost 1.50 each so I am probably going to get at least a half a dozen to be safe. She rattled off a bunch of di...

    A dorm? Are you planning to live there the whole year? Can I ask how much that will cost per month? I'll have to post more later when I have details in front of me about orientation. It has been a loooong day and I had 5 hours sleep last night. I...

    I looked at 3 places that were all 2 bedroom, 1 bath. One was 775 and the other 2 were 750. They are a little more expensive than what we were budgeting but they are 1/4 mile from the school and really nice. "E" said I would find places this nice ...
