  12. Brookhaven Spring 09

    coolpeach replied to MissJS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I remember feeling the same way. When I didn't get in the first time I applied I was just numb. The funny thing about it was that I really didn't have that many points, and didn't expect that I would...

    coolpeach replied to MissJS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    coolpeach replied to MissJS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yes, you have to do community service every semester as part of your clinical grade (but it cannot be where you do your clinicals at). I hope you all get in too. Good

    coolpeach replied to ovnerati's topic in General Students

    I have talked to people who are going the LPN route. At most LPN programs there is still a long wait list, then you go for a year so it's almost as long as you would go to finish up if you went back...

  20. Brookhaven Spring 09

    coolpeach replied to MissJS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am nervous for you guys, and I am already in the program. From those of us in first semester they never told us our ranking (so I wouldn't hold your breath on that). I didn't have to an interview so...

  24. Do you think there are any negitives to getting accepted to the Spring start program?

    coolpeach replied to mom25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started my program this fall. The biggest negative I can see if you were accepted into my program would be the time/cost situation. When I got accepted I had the whole summer to pay for all my...
