   Any updates? I got a voicemail from a nurse manager to schedule an interview for a job on the medical floor. This is the Trinity hospital in Minot, ND. This would also be my first interview too!

   Oh ya, there's also an open facebook group for inter students, "Asociacion de Enfunmeria". Check it out if you want. If you post, make sure to say you're a prospective student...

   Wow, I haven't been on here in ages. I just wanted to add that Inter has a lecture and practice class (2 classes) for NCLEX preparation in the last semester...and if you take nclex early, prof. a will let you skip it if you register with her. Also...

   Jeb-in-Minneapolis replied to spfd's topic in Florida

   Very ignorant. Why would someone agree to work for less than the prevailing wage? With 3 years of experience a nurse will be in great demand. If you are unable to get a job as a new grad, I would suggest broadening your area of search, or looking ...

   Ok, just made it to school after waiting an hour and a half for the school trolley. Highly recommend you get a car if at all possible, because the free school shuttle between the train station and campus really stinks. Just my 2 cents...

   Haha, I didn't know I was going to create such a reaction! For the record I've heard the school enjoys a very good reputation on the island, and naturally the culture is quite different. I'm simply directing my comments more towards the bulk of the...

   It seems like everyone's in a rush to get into the program. Let me just remind you guys you get what you pay for. The school is rather crappy, so you're pasically paying roughly 20k total for a piece of paper (BSN) that lets you sit for the test. ...

    Great news so many of you guys got in! I just want to echo yogi and say they'll keep adding classes. My 1st trimester the associate director taught a basic nursing class, and it seems like they're always hiring new profs. So try not to worry too m...

    If folks need a place to stay before they go apartment hunting, the school has some cheap rooms on campus(talk to E), otherwise I stayed at Fortaleza Guest House (hostel) in Old San Juan which was also very cheap. Its super easy to find a place, jus...

    If you're not bilingual, you won't be able to get a job, unfortunately. Only one other gringo has been able to get a job (part-time) and he worked in the states for years as a spanish interpreter (His native language was english). The numbers I ga...

    You can apply for a stafford loan (no credit checks, the federal government gives the money to the school directly, anything leftover is given to you) of 10,500 for the academic year, which is handed out to you in 3 equal payments. The first thing t...

    I totally agree with the others, I have never heard of Inter turning anyone away, and if you have a BS you are guaranteed to get into the 2 year program, everyone does. Like the others said, its unlikely to get ahold of someone over the phone who ca...
