    Mergirlc replied to starter12345's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi I can't answer your question as I have not attended SMU, but I wanted to suggest that you might want to post your question on one of the posts for the people who have already applied there and have...

    Cleveland Clinic VS University Hospital

    Mergirlc replied to A.Ramos's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Thanks for the clarification and the information! It does sound like CCF, overall, would be the place to go in terms of the benefits. $50 is dirt-cheap for having a kid! ? I'm sure by now it...

    NursingCAS Academic Status on Transcript Entry Question

    Mergirlc replied to hce_9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a tough one. I guess it also depends if the "on-the-side" class was taken at a college that you previously took classes at or was it a completely new college for you? If you have to turn your...

    2020 Spring SMU ABSN program

    Mergirlc replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    @TheBolivian Thanks for the tips. I've perused various vids on YouTube and have seen the various dosage calculation videos. I'm probably going to stick w/ dimensional analysis since it's like...

    2020 Spring SMU ABSN program

    Mergirlc replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Cool enough. I have A's in all the core sciences, so they're done -- so no problem there. I've just had one helluva time trying to get into a Pharmacology class and I finally made it into one, which...

    2020 Spring SMU ABSN program

    Mergirlc replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    @Glial, thanks for responding! Makes me have hope! From what I've seen on this board, my GPAs and HESI are competitive enough, so I feel good about that. Just was checking if I can sneak through w/...

    Mergirlc replied to Lety86's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi there. Did anybody on this round get accepted w/ one prerequisite "In Progress?" I'm thinking of applying for Fall 2020, but I just barely got into a Pharmacology course for this upcoming Spring...

    Samuel Merritt ELMSN Fall 2019

    Mergirlc replied to jackiewackie44's topic in School, College Programs

    It seems that way for every nursing school where people are waiting out decisions to decide, doesn't it? I just wanted to see whereabouts on the list do people have a shot. I recall at one school...

    Seeking advice/information

    Mergirlc replied to Nurse2007's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just came across this post since it was on the front page of the website, I'm not at all familiar w/ the whole recovery/diversion process, but if your friend is, indeed, not guilty of...

    A friend bought her degree from the Philippines.

    Mergirlc replied to thatgirlisangel's topic in General Nursing

    I would tread very lightly here and not assume anything. From personal experience, I have known quite a few Filipinas who were graduates of medical and/or nursing programs and, as somebody else...

    Hi Just came across this topic. Hoping somebody might be able to answer, or clarify, something that was mentioned in this post. I noticed the majority of people in this thread mentioned the benefits...

    Nursing Student balance Preventing NCLEX-RN attempt

    Mergirlc replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    ^^^ This is so true. A few months back I had to request a transcript from a community college I went to and it even states this on the transcript request form. This is what my college has on the...

    ABSN programs low gpa

    Mergirlc replied to Riya Patel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have yet to see any ABSNs that do not have the minimum 3.0 requirement. The best you can to do is contact each individual ABSN program and see if the 2.97 will fly. If you are still at the...

    Nursing Student balance Preventing NCLEX-RN attempt

    Mergirlc replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Sorry for your predicament, but inquiring minds want to know... Did you not know you owed this balance the whole time you were there? I'm going to assume, if it's like most schools, you sign...

    Reapplying to same school personal statement

    Mergirlc replied to 2015RNgrad's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't mention it. They get so many applications anyways, they can't remember everybody. Besides, you want to use your personal statement to sell yourself and you need all that space to do that...

    Getting Into Nursing School - Perfect Grades vs. Regular Grades w/experience

    Mergirlc replied to Quabilah Williams's topic in General Students

    I"m just going to address the cutoff GPA part of your post. This is one that you cannot really put a solid number, or GPA, on I believe. This is probably why a school will not be upfront or put a do...

    Online Prerequisite Suggestions?

    Mergirlc replied to elh733's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just be sure that whatever schools you are applying to will accept these online core classes. I've seen quite a few that will not accept them. Sure the majority will accept psychology, sociology,...

    Mergirlc replied to mn05bsn's topic in General Nursing

    I can't comment on the pay rate, but the posters above me are right on about rent and/or buying a home in the SF Bay Area. I live here and the only reason I live here is because I moved back to my...

    Honest Feedback

    Mergirlc replied to wishfulthinking_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You definitely need to get that GPA up. Try your hardest to get A's on all your prerequisites. You mentioned you got B's in A&P, but I might suggest if you have time to retake those to get As....
