1. Got accepted to Univ of San Francisco's BSN Program...advice???

   LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

   Yeah, apparently there are a few ways of obtaining tuition forgiveness, some institutions have agreements with hospitals that will pay a portion of your tuition if you commit to working there for 2 years, etc. Also the military. Damn that is a large...

   LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

   Thanks again for your reply. How large is the cohort?? Also, have you thought about/looked into tuition forgiveness programs? I hear there's a lot of that for nurses.

   LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

   Thanks, Kuriin, for your reply. That sounds stressful! Happy to hear that it's a little more spread out, though. I'd never even heard of the HESI exam until now. I wonder if that ultimately makes the NCLEX a bit easier. How many people get expe...

4. Got accepted to Univ of San Francisco's BSN Program...advice???

   LatinoHealthNut posted a topic in General Students

   I've been accepted to USF's BSN program for Spring 2015. I'd love to hear from current and former students who can shed some light on the pros and cons of this program. A few specific questions... 1. Why is it most state school programs last 2 years...

5. How will I afford nursing school?

   LatinoHealthNut posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'll be applying to nursing programs soon but I'm really worried about cost. I'm in my 30s and on my own so I'm concerned about being able to afford school full-time. 1. I had a couple foreclosures a few years back so my credit score is probably cra...

6. I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??

   LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

   So do you think because you enrolled in the university that improved your chances of getting accepted into the BSN program?

7. I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??

   LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

   stephanie -- My cumulative GPA was 3.6, but then I found out they wanted it cumulative from only pre-req coursework, so it might've been higher. I scored an 84% on the TEAS and placed in the 91st percentile. My grades were Anatomy - A, Micro - B, C...

8. I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??

   LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in General Students

   I spent several years taking pre-reqs and took everything that was required. I thought my application was really strong, and I have no idea why I wasn't accepted into these programs, other than that they're highly competitive (all state schools whic...

   I appreciate the advice, thanks folks!

10. I Didn't Get Into The Nursing Program...now what??

    LatinoHealthNut posted a topic in General Students

    I applied to 4 programs, all state schools, and I've received rejection letters from 2, one of which was my top choice. I did, however, get accepted into the universities as a undergraduate transfer student. Has this happened to any of you? I need...

11. Is ATI the only way to register for TEAS??

    LatinoHealthNut posted a topic in TEAS

    I checked the ATI website for exam dates and there are very few this summer, plus they're all sold out through October. This is cutting it way too close for my application deadlines. I'm looking in the Los Angeles area and I may have to drive to Nap...

12. Chem 60 or 101 as a pre-req?

    LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Pre-Nursing

    What does "developmental" mean exactly? The course I took was 5 units with a lab.

13. Chem 60 or 101 as a pre-req?

    LatinoHealthNut posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm confused about this...I'm applying to state schools in California (SF State, etc.) and according to assist.org, Chem 60 is an acceptable pre-requisite. But other pre-nursing students tell me you have to apply with Chem 101 under your belt. I do...

14. Hey guys! Post what you are going to do right after you graduate. I'll start.

    LatinoHealthNut replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Students

    I like your optimism, Phil! I'm not in a nursing program yet either...though I'll be applying very soon. After I graduate I plan to: 1) throw a huge party where I treat my good friends to endless food and booze, 2) take a vacay to somewhere in Eur...

15. Most useful pre-req in the nursing program?

    LatinoHealthNut replied to LatinoHealthNut's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Bigboi, what an awesome idea, taking a pharmacology class!!! I hear from most students that's the toughest subject in the nursing program.
