   Heads up on the sweater, if they're still doing "one size fits all" then it is HUGE. And to anyone taking pharm along side nursing, be prepared. You're going to have an exam every week, alternating pharm and nursing. If you have to sacrifice one, pu...

   They'll be assigned to you. 1/2 the semester is acute (hospital) and the other half is long term care. For the most part they try to chose locations close to you.

   A few things I can think of: Prepare for chaos for the first few weeks, especially front loading. The professors are quite unorganized and schedules changed, students didn't know where they were supposed to go, and it was just confusing. Considering ...

   I'm starting 2nd semester this fall. I don't remember the price of my books, but I do remember the weight. 36 pounds! Let me advise you to get your books online at Amazon or similar. I've always done this with my classes and can get a brand new book ...

   are your transcripts from different schools? that was my first thought. or are any of the classes from this spring? maybe those are going through the system slowly.

   that's the big secret! They don't tell you! It's basically a personally test where they say "I am a perfectionist" and then you chose "not like me" "sorta like me" "very much like me" It's a pain the ass. And to PurpleVega; I think that's a bit stran...

   You got the scholarship? I was denied because my "GALLUP score did not fall within the minimum range established" But apparently everyone who is denied gets the same BS response. How convenient for them that the GALLUP score isn't released to applica...

   If I needed to take 500mg of Tylenol, and they came in 250mg tablets, how many tablets do I need to take? Yes, I am serious. Most of the questions on the first procalc are like that. Just go over the equivalents chart that is provided on the procalc ...

    I'm stuck in this area and there aren't too many nursing school choices. Even tho I applied to PBCC and FAU I chose PBCC because I found out that I was accepted there about 5 months before FAU sends out letters. Therefore I was able to start nursing ...

    I had 26.?? for spring, which is lower than fall. I would think 27/28ish would be the cutoff. Are all your prerequisites done? 90+ on NLN? volunteer/work experience point? Also, if you're Haitian, make sure to let them know. They have some program fo...

    pickledcookie replied to rain.jenn's topic in General Nursing

    PBCC is a lot easier to get into, plus they provide a point system so you know EXACTLY where you stand compared to other people, if they share their points. I was accepted to both PBCC and FAU, but since I'm already in PBCC's program I'm just stickin...

    Are you saying I'm wrong? Can you honestly tell me that the majority of students were under 35?
