1. disorderly person charge and continuing in clinical rotations and nursing school

   SPG1975 replied to jrsygirl's topic in Criminal

   I found a law site that talks about this. In english, (I'm translating the legal jargon) In NEW JERSEY...for a Township Ordinance Violation... if you can manage to keep out of trouble for 2 years since your conviction, you can file for the offense ...

2. Question for Aria Health SON or CCP Nursing students/graduates?

   SPG1975 replied to SPG1975's topic in Pennsylvania

   I've heard a lot of good things about it, anything in particular you liked about it?

3. Introduction with some questions!

   SPG1975 replied to Vegemite's topic in Male Students

   Actually, there is such a glut of nursing school applicants, that they are extremely choosy. The average GPA to even be eligible to apply can be as low as 2.75! But the rest of your application must be spectacular. Admins have told me frankly, "We...

4. Introduction with some questions!

   SPG1975 replied to Vegemite's topic in Male Students

   1) Looking healthy and clean cut will help you in this profession more than looking like a pro wrestler or a strip club bouncer. I think you're on the right track with staying fit. Being strong looking should help also but keep in mind that being ...

5. Just been accepted to Community College of Philadelphia Nursing Program

   SPG1975 replied to ncfalcon03's topic in Pennsylvania

   The people who told me that CCP had required online classes, were in the RN program. Maybe I misunderstood them or they themselves were mistaken. I definitely want my BSN, as soon as possible. Money is not really a factor but time is, I'm an older...

6. Just been accepted to Community College of Philadelphia Nursing Program

   SPG1975 replied to ncfalcon03's topic in Pennsylvania

   I got accepted into both CCP, and into Aria Health Hospital School of Nursing. I've heard both good things and horror stories about both places and trying to decide. I'm leaning towards AHHSON right now, because I heard that CCP has a lot of online...

7. Question for Aria Health SON or CCP Nursing students/graduates?

   SPG1975 posted a topic in Pennsylvania

   About me: Older male student (30y.o) I'm decent academically, 3.7 cum. GPA. I live near Northern Liberties, to give you an idea of my location. I've been accepted to both Aria Health (Formally Frankfort) School of Nursing, and to the RN program at ...

8. bad experience with a male nurse

   SPG1975 replied to bigd123's topic in Male Students

   Sounds like someone on the Burn-Out Boat to me. There's no reason to be that short with even a rude client. Don't take it personally, and at best, use such people as an ANTI-role model. "that's what I will NOT be like!".

9. Where do I take the TEAS......???

10. A&P Coloring Book

    SPG1975 replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing

    If they're required for your classes, well then by all means buy them and use them.

11. Where do I take the TEAS......???

    I just received my appointment to sit for the TEAS test to complete my application to Aria Hospital School of Nursing (formally Frankfort) My question is,...WHERE do I take this test??? I went to the ATI homepage and they needed a student ID to be r...

12. Can I become an RN with a BS in Health Sciences Degree ?

    SPG1975 replied to gjet68's topic in Pre-Nursing

    On the bright side... having that degree under your belt will look very good on a Nursing School application at a more competitive nursing school. But yeah, only a Nursing School can reserve a seat for you to sit for the NCLEX-RN. Nursing Sch...

13. A&P Coloring Book

    SPG1975 replied to mangopeach's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Waste of time and money. For passing a class, stick to the material given to you by the instructor. The coloring book has about 1000% more information than you'll need to know and it will just end up getting muddled. For actual application on the...

14. Why do Hospital Schools of Nursing ask for so much more personal information?

    SPG1975 replied to SPG1975's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for the great answers, all. I didn't know about the transferability of a Diploma into a BSN program, glad to know I was mistaken about that. I also didn't consider that it's more of a Job Application as WELL as a school application. I do...

    SPG1975 replied to ncfalcon03's topic in Pennsylvania

    Good job, man! Well, I was accepted to CCP last week, also! Advice-wise, I'll just relay what I've gotten from RN's in my family about nursing school: Make no mistake: They don't let just anybody in...and they don't let just anybody finish, either. ...
