    BSN Last Minute Prereq's & How I almost got Screwed...

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

    I would like to second this point, as it seems that the requirements are changing moment by moment for some programs. It almost seems as if it is harder to navigate the specific requirements and fine...

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

    If you're speaking of NCLEX pass rates, the admissions office would definitely be the best route to get an accurate

    2nd BS...Tuition Reimbursment? Loans?

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

    Seriously, your entire post was quite rude, and completely uncalled for. We our free to express opinion around here, but there is absolutely no need to do so in a snarky manner. As you seem to be...

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

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just an FYI to any JHU applicants who are on the West Coast and can't make it out to Baltimore for the Open House in October, they sent out an invitation/announcement for a Fall Reception they are...

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

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    As per what was told to me by a JHU admissions officer, they like to see their applicants around a 3.3 gpa minimum (cumulative undergrad, including pre-reqs), and GRE scores of 500 each on...

    Discouraged over the "last 60/90 degree units" policies

    Asherah posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hey all, I wanted to post really for the purpose of venting my frustration at the admissions policies of some of the direct-entry MSN programs I have come across in my research the last year and a...

    what would you do?

    Asherah replied to chill65's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of the nursing program information sessions I've attended emphasize the fact that it is not recommended that you begin a nursing program when you are undergoing a major life event, for obvious...

    California Nursing programs

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

    All of the nursing programs in the state do have a core set of pre-reqs that are mandated by the state, this is how each program becomes accredited and how its graduates are eligible to sit for the...

    Anyone else's bookstore doing this???

    Asherah replied to LMRN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, this is a frequent practice and it can be very frustrating, but easy to work around. I've never seen a bookstore employee that refuses to let you see the book in person (Heck, I always check...

    CHEMISTRY: Need I say more ;-/

    Asherah replied to JBGC4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are nervous about experiencing Chem for the first time, I would recommend trying to get a referral from friends or student peers for a dedicated and supportive professor (Note: This does not...

    Anyone trying for a 2nd degree?

    Asherah replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest looking to 2nd BSN or Accelerated BSN programs that look at a cumulative GPA, including all of your undergrad work, even post-grad pre-reqs (as opposed to your last 60/90 degree...

    Ridiculous BSN rules in southern california?

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

    I agree with this wholeheartedly...I had very demanding professors and didn't shy away from the experience. Dive in and realize that doing well in the more difficult setting is in fact more rewarding...

    GRE.. pointless exam??

    Asherah replied to cvicu80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You may view the exam as pointless and irrelevant, but clearly if there are potential schools that you would like to have a chance to be admitted to, you should consider it to be very relevant....

    What do you think this means?

    Asherah replied to Hoping4RNin2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were in your position, I would inquire about something that is often termed academic renewal. In some cases, schools will offer to line-out or disregard your old grades if they are more than 10+...

    What have you guys done about the prereqs?

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

    My strategy for success in the core sciences was to focus on them one at a time (while taking other more basic pre-reqs, such as Human Growth & Development, Nutrition, etc.) I went back to tackle...

    Asherah replied to jenevieve's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Jen, Thanks for the insight regarding the application considerations. I'm getting ready to submit an app for the ABSN/MSN program (May 2008) and was worried about my GPA being nowhere close to...

    Discouraged over the "last 60/90 degree units" policies

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My comment about the policy being ridiculous pertains to the fact that they won't even allow you apply if you don't meet the 3.0 cutoff in the last 60/90 units of your degree. I completed my degree...

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

    Asherah replied to Asherah's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I posed that question to one of the admissions officers as I would prefer the accelerated track but if offered admission to either, I would be happy with the traditional. He basically stated that the...

    the 2 free powerprep practice tests on ETS

    Asherah replied to megamiepona's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm taking the GRE in early October, and am hoping that two months of focused study time will be enough as I'll only have one shot to take it before I need to report my grades on November...

    Yale GEPN vs. UPenn BSN/MSN -- thoughts?

    Asherah replied to tanya4444's topic in Post Graduate Students

    AK....As you seem to be posting brief statements of your opinion of Yale you may want to expand on your reasons. Statements such as "Don't go to Yale," don't do much for anyone looking for a valid...

    You may want to post the region of California you are most interested in, as there are probably hundreds of programs. You listed Cypress, so I'll assume Southern California at this point. Golden...

    anyone try to test out of anatomy?

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

    I would not recommend testing out of it even though you took it nine years ago and received an A. I know it sounds tempting to get it out of the way, but wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry and...
