mmm62892 - I agree with with RABOEHM, slow & steady wins the race. When it comes to nursing school acceptance, GPA is super important in most cases. You should give yourself a good medical foundation by not rushing through those prerequisite classes. You are still very young and there will be plenty of working years ahead of you. Slow things down a bit and enjoy college life. Good luck!
Hi guys, I just wanted to post questions I have been asking the nursing dept. Maybe it will help some of you too.
Q: I am in the process of completing my health requirements. I have been given the H1N1 (dead) shot. Are we specifically required to get the live (H1N1) version?
Most clinics and doctor's offices are out of the seasonal flu vaccinations. Furthermore, I believe there should be a new strand for this upcoming flu season in the fall. In this case, are flu vaccination waivers acceptable?
Please clarify this at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance.

"Hi Nancy-At this point don't worry about the seasonal flu - we'll further direct you on that at Orientation. A new strand of seasonal flu will come out this Fall, you will be able to get it then. As for the H1N1, it's okay that you didn't get the live shot."
is the H1N1 shot absolutely MANDATORY ? I know it says that it is on the requirements, but my mom's friend recently died from the H1N1 shot and I am scared of getting it.
I would think it's mandatory since it is on the to-do list. I'm not a microbiologist or anything but I believe if you get the "dead" vaccination shot, you'll likely be fine. I got mine from CVS a month ago & I had no side-effects.
How can we get high scores on teas? there are people here very competitive with scores of high in 90s. My goal is to get above 85% at least. what is the best source?
hi everybody! i just recieved an email saying that i need to arrange for an interview for the nursing program. Has anyone had any experience about the interview? please share with me! and also how many percent of the interviewed students will get accepted? thanks!
