  1. University of Hawaii-MEPN PROGRAM...anyone heard about it?

    mcubed45 replied to starangel2's topic in General Nursing

  3. University of Hawaii-MEPN PROGRAM...anyone heard about it?

    mcubed45 replied to starangel2's topic in General Nursing

    mcubed45 replied to ArkansasFan's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    mcubed45 replied to Vanillanut's topic in General Nursing

  6. Help!! looking into UH Manoa's Nursing Program.

    mcubed45 replied to Pvalencerina's topic in General Nursing

    HI residents get a couple extra pts on their app but it's by no means impossible for out-of-state students to get in. we've got quite a few in our class and many are pretty typical students. so it's...

  8. University of Hawaii Fast-Track Program

    mcubed45 replied to kelsie*bear's topic in General Nursing

    mcubed45 replied to oreo29's topic in General Nursing

  13. Just applied to UHM fall 2010 nursing program

    mcubed45 replied to jellyishh's topic in General Nursing

    you're limited on your pre-req retakes for UHM so you're not going to be able to raise it unless you take different courses (e.g. taking the 300 level A&P). other than A&P and Microbio you've...

  14. HELP! Filling Out UH MANOA Nursing App

    mcubed45 replied to hikari808's topic in General Nursing

    mcubed45 replied to JOLIEDAME's topic in General Nursing

    sometimes people end having to withdraw very last minute. at that point, if the alternates aren't already up to date with their health clearance/cpr/etc. there's no way they can start and it'll be a...

  19. New Grads... Is Anyone Addressing The Issue?

    mcubed45 replied to Lisa From Maui's topic in General Nursing

    what exactly do you expect the universities to do? training new grads is expensive and no one has money to spare right now. the faculty at UHM have been very clear in emphasizing the current state of...
