    Asherah replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    Yes, and I believe my statement was that I'm glad it didn't turn out that way...but that statement did indeed precede what has been said by a handful of individuals. Its quite a good thing I didn't...

    Asherah replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    Who has ever claimed that in this thread? Geeze louise! :uhoh21: Good for you if you are education debt free and living the dream. No need to preach it to me, I agree with you (for the most part)! By...

    How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

    Asherah replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    You may certainly express your opinion, however I wrote that due to the fact that I have seen past threads turn into a downward spiral of that exact demonstration. My expression was not intended as a...

    How Much in Student Loans Do YOU Have?

    Asherah replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

    I'm glad that this thread hasn't turned into something it could have, a few folks on their high horse about not taking loans and looking down on those who do (I'm being sincere). When it comes to...

    Why Bachelors over Associates?!? is it worth it?

    Asherah replied to NurseToBe20100102's topic in General Nursing

    Anyone take Pathophysiology & Physiology in SAME semester???

    Asherah replied to geekchick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Patho in the semester after Physiology and based on my experience I think you would be much better served doing Physiology first. Simply, the understanding of Pathophysiology or the many...

    I think we need a second degree student section...

    Asherah replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many factors, but just because someone has a BA/BS doesn't mean they are qualified to enter a rigorous nursing program. Primarily however, there are too few open positions in nursing programs and not...

    I think we need a second degree student section...

    Asherah replied to touchhealth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I can provide some clarification regarding this common misconception. The only federal aid that a 2nd bachelor's student is absolutely NOT eligible to receive is a Pell grant. There is a...

    what are the requirements?

    Asherah replied to rtray's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Getting Accepted on a GPA only system

    Asherah replied to MikeInCO's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mike, It seems as if you already have the answer to your question. If the admissions counselor from the program you would like to enter stated that a 3.5-3.6 would be competitive, you merely need to...

    Any Johns Hopkins (JHU) BSN/MSN 2008 applicants?

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Well, the big question I see is...when will the financial aid office be sending you your aid package? I'm a traditional student who received a substantial portion of the SON grant funds and that makes...

    Previous health care experience

    Asherah replied to stormee94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well in this case, the original poster has a strong GPA and experience, thus I think there is a chance that they may be favored over another candidate if the other student had the same GPA and no...

    Previous health care experience

    Asherah replied to stormee94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would disagree, in part, because many schools I've talked to value any direct patient care experience you've had even in an MA capacity. This experience confirms that you are comfortable and...
