    nurseman78 replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    HALLELUJAH! I received my acceptance letter for Davis Applied Technology College's LPN-to-RN program today! I will do my LPN year at DATC, and then move on to do my RN through Weber State...

  2. Private Colleges???

    nurseman78 replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    That's true about what you said regarding the tendency of SLCC applicants to drop off of the waiting list. From what I've seen with applying for nursing schools, a good rule of thumb is to have...

  3. Private Colleges???

    Yeah, it's a ridiculously long wait. The way Salt Lake Community College does things is a joke. You do all their pre-reqs, and only THEN can you be put on the 3 year

    Getting a BSN from Weber State would be great. But despite being what they said was a "very competitive candidate", I was passed on for WSU's RN program. Some people I know with near-perfect GPA's...

  5. Loads of questions, please help!

    nurseman78 replied to Sweet_Nurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    Weber State University's system is still point-based, no waiting list. That said, it's very competitive, and most applicants I know (myself included) don't get in the first time. But it's good to...

    nurseman78 replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    Just for the record, I applied at Weber State by the early deadline, raised my cumulative GPA to a 3.64, 3.9 prerequisite GPA, A's in Anatomy, Physiology, Patho, Chem 1110, Nutrition and Microbiology,...

  7. What would you do?

    nurseman78 replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a white, male 30-year-old nursing applicant. Just got my rejection letter from WSU's RN program. They said I was a strong candidate, have my CNA, 3.64 cumulative GPA, 3.9 prerequisite and...

    CTenney1, First of all, congratulations on getting in! DATC is really a great place, I love the small campus and small class size. If you see a girl named Heather Buttars, let her know Sam Potter...

    Whoops, I mean beaten. Beated? Wow, should have caught that

  10. Seeking the truth about Nursing School acceptance...

    nurseman78 replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    That's sort of what I meant... I think high GPA is important no matter what. I'm not attempting to say that physicians are any more intelligent or qualified than nurses. I'm also not saying that...

    nurseman78 replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't gotten into a nursing program yet, because I haven't applied yet. I plan on applying in Spring 2009. The school's I'm going to apply to are Weber State University, Davis Applied Technology...

    nurseman78 replied to nurseman78's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'll explain my comment about med school. My intention wasn't to offend anyone. It wasn't even really meant as a serious comment. The significance of that statement was more like, "Geez, if...
