  1. Volunteering!! How much time should I spend??

    Hello, I am going to be volunteering in my local hospital, their volunteer program want you to commit to a specific shift each week, so I will be doing a four hour shift on sunday afternoons. Volunteering will give you a great chance to meet other p...
  2. Low GPA

    Depends on the program... most all the private schools I am looking at are very competitive. Your friend should contact the schools she is looking at and ask them what their minimums GPA's are and also what is the average GPA of people accepted. Then...
  3. can anyone come in and see if i can get into a bsn program?

    Have you talked to the schools that you are interested in applying to? They would be able to best tell you what their requirements are, each school is different.
  4. Thank you for this post.. I have also wondered if I should go to med school instead of nursing school. But I don't want to lose my family life & social life to become a doctor!
  5. Fall 2013 Schedule

    This fall I am taking Chem, Stats, Physiology and Soc 101. The soc class should be relatively easy and I took Stats 10 years ago so hopefully it will all come back to me! Slightly nervous about taking both chem and phys together, but I have taken ot...
  6. ASBN Programs

    You can check the prereqs that different schools require on their websites or by calling them, they may require slightly different classes. Although out of the 5 programs I am looking at that are in my area, only one does not require chemistry.
  7. Huge List of A&P Videos

    This is a great set of information, thank you!! The series by the UC Berkley professor is of particular interest to me; I am taking an anatomy class this summer and I am watching the series to prep myself.
  8. Are any of you active coupon users?

    I do use coupons when I can, but you have to be careful that you aren't using them to buy something you really don't need or that you wouldn't have bought anyways. Like in the example above: yes, it's great if you can get a few dollars off a movie ti...
  9. University of Rochester - ABPNN Fall 2013

    Thanks for the input :) I still have a little ways to go before applying and will have to make my decision based on the schools that accept me (hopefully all the programs I am applying to will have me!). Til then, nothing to do but bust my butt finis...
  10. Denied for a mistake made by the University

    Appeal for sure, and let us know what happens!
  11. University of Rochester - ABPNN Fall 2013

    Hi All, I am wondering if I could butt in with a question about the U of R program.. I am looking at applying for fall of 2014 and it looks like a fantastic program but the only thing holding me back is the cost. It is by far the most expensive progr...
  12. Premature Clinicals Question??

    Have you talked to your school to find out if it is feasable to hold a job while in the program? Some of the schools I am looking at come right out and say it is impossible or nearly impossible to hold a job outside of the program. Even when you are ...
  13. What was your GPA if you were rejected?

    I agree, that's one of the reasons I was curious... the schools I am looking at won't disclose their average GPA because it is different every semester. Some people seem to be getting rejected with high gpa's and some get accepted with lower gpa's th...
  14. Can I still get into clinicals?

    I also recommend talking to your school, it may depend on their policies. One of the schools I am looking at takes the average gpa of ALL the prerequisite classes you took, including the failures. So, even if you get an F on one try and an A on the n...
  15. What was your GPA if you were rejected?

    Even if your school is points-based, I have found that the points are usually tied directly to your gpa. For example, one of the schools I am looking at uses a points system and you get more points for higher grades (If I get an A (4.0) in a 4 credit...
