   Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

   The instructors that you have now are not the same ones that we had. We were enrolled in a different nursing program than the programs that they currently offer; the program that we were in was cancelled after one semester and most of the instructor...

   Katie1770 replied to heathert_kc's topic in Illinois

   Hi there! Lakeview is accredited through several accreditation boards, two of them being the CCNE and NLN. Though it varies by school, most graduate programs require your BSN to come from either a CCNE or an NLN accredited school. You mentioned the...

   Katie1770 replied to heathert_kc's topic in Illinois

   Hi! I go to the Danville campus, and Danville isn't the greatest town, but it's close to Champaign which isn't bad (a lot of people commute from Champaign)...at least there really isn't anything to distract you from studying here! The program is real...

   Have you seen this on their website? They assign points to your application and the do look at science GPA in addition to cumulative GPA, so your great science GPA will help you out too. http://www.lakeviewcol.edu/AdmissionCriteriaPointSystem.asp

5. Lakeview College of nursing

   Katie1770 replied to heathert_kc's topic in Illinois

   Hi there! I was really worried when I applied to Lakeview, I also had a rough period when I was working on my first undergraduate degree...they accepted me with a 2.8. I think a 2.5 is the minimum that they will accept, so I think you'll be fine, b...

6. BEWARE: Pace University

   Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

   You should double check, but I've heard that Pace did away with their evening and weekend program. There have been a number of posts on this website from people who attended the information session and they said that the evening program no longer ex...

7. Pace University CDP

   Katie1770 replied to graceland's topic in New York

   The Micro would be fine. When I applied to Pace I still had Micro outstanding and didn't finish it until the middle of August. I would be more worried about your GRE scores making it on time...if you took it now, it would be okay. Please review othe...

   Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

   Please forgive me for my poorly written, bitter note. I have tried to delete it, but unfortunately I can't. I appreciate your giving feedback on your experience at Pace and agree that the more information that incoming students have, the better. I...

   Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

   CDP stands for "Combined Degree Program," and is for students who already hold a degree in a field other than nursing to get both their bachelors and masters in nursing all at the same time. I already have two bachelors degrees, one in Microbiology a...

10. BEWARE: Pace University

    Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

    Oh and in the CDP, bad grades are not allowed. If you get a C, you are kicked out of the program with no possibility of returning, you have to get a minimum of a C+, but if your GPA slips below a 3.0 you are out of the program. My classmate failed ...

    Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

    Jayhy15, Hi there, thank you for sharing your experience. Many of us were specifically speaking about the Combined Degree Program which is completely separate from the RN4 program. Of our program 80% of the students failed out and these were all Gra...

12. Lakeview College of Nursing?

    Katie1770 replied to Katie1770's topic in General Students

    Hi there, Thank you so much for the information! As far as I understand, I think if we start in the Fall and get a 3.0 in our first 2 semesters then we are able to take summer school and finish Fall 2011...if we don't get the 3.0 the first 2 semester...

13. Lakeview College of Nursing?

    Katie1770 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi there, I recently applied to the BSN program at Lakeview College of Nursing in Danville, IL and I was wondering if any of you could tell me a bit about it. I'm transferring from a program that I felt I couldn't graduate from and after my first sem...

    Hi CaffeineRX, I'm sorry, I'm not able to send private messages, but I was able to read the one you sent. I'd love to chat, so maybe you could send me your email address in one of the private messages?

    Katie1770 replied to ZionsWrath's topic in New York

    Me? No I will not be graduating from Pace...I was with the 80% of my classmates who failed out in my first semester. I'm starting at a new program and have already had a significantly better experience with this school. This school is honest, help...
