  1. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Exactly. The nursing director and assistant director are awesome. I don't know why all of the schools are so stuck on GPA. I mean, I get it, but still...if you don't apply yourself, you won't finish....

  2. The University of Texas at Arlington

    designer-mommy replied to zoeyzoe's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm researching my options for online RN-BSN so I'm subscribing to this thread. Thanks for the

  3. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    The minimum GPA to get accepted is 2.5, which is incredibly low and easy to accomplish. As far as working in Florida after graduating from La Inter, our Adult Care 1 professor told us last week that...

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    You will be an RN, but I hear that there are a lot of hoops to jump through in CA. I heard that when the ADN wasn't accredited though, so maybe things have changed. I think that most people are...

    And Dafina, I sent you a PM because I didn't have one from you in my inbox for some reason. I hope you get it! Let me know

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Hey Dafina! For some reason I'm not getting notifications from this site anymore--not sure why. So, sorry I didn't get to you sooner! Here is a link to our school calendar with all of the holidays...

  7. Pre-employment credit checks in Nashville area hospitals?

    designer-mommy posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hey everyone! This is a bit premature because I am not graduating until Feb of 2012, but I plan on moving to TN and I want to get my ducks in a row. My credit is horrible. When I say horrible, I mean...

  8. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Hey, how do you feel about the idiots in our Fundamentals and Pharmacology classes? Arghhhhhhhhhhh! I swear, I left school feeling like I wanted to bash my head against the wall. I seriously feel like...

  9. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    No, you didn't offend me! Sorry if I sounded harsh--I didn't mean to. That's what I hate about forums, you don't really "feel" what the person is saying because there is no body language, tone of...

  10. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I don't doubt what you're saying Veroko, but there are people who fail the NCLEX that went to highly acclaimed schools too. I'm a student at La Inter, and yes, there are things that I wish they would...

  11. New Grad looking for advice

    designer-mommy replied to reimundijanet's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Are you going to UPR (Universidad de Puerto Rico) or IAUPR (Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico)? I ask because you say you don't speak Spanish, but I don't believe that UPR has an English...

  12. New Grad looking for advice

    designer-mommy replied to reimundijanet's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    As far as Puerto Rico not being safe for kids, that's not the case for me. I have four children and I feel completely safe with my oldest two being at school. And 34914, do you speak Spanish at all? I...

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    They probably haven't even opened them yet, Jeb. They're pretty slow, especially since there is only one lady there that does that stuff. As for your other posts, I don't know where they got the...

  14. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Blah, I'm getting so frustrated with this school and the whole financial aid situation. I'm only planning on taking 2 credit hours this trimester (nursing class only) because I need to spread out the...

  15. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Hey! Yeah, that sounds right. We have long addresses here in PR LOL We include the name of our subdivision here too, so that's why it's usually 4 lines instead of 3 like in the states. I know that it...

  16. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Oh, and I had my transcript mailed to me and I just took it in there in the sealed envelope so they knew I didn't open it. They didn't require me to have the transcripts sent directly to them from my...

  17. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Hey Jeb! As far as the dean letter, I don't think you need that. My husband didn't need it, and neither did I. Registration has already happened, but last year they were still getting people in...

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Wow, so you got everything we need for $60?! That's awesome! Jennell, I'll give you the phone number of the doctor that "Y" recommended to us, and you can go to her if you want. Ugh, I'm allergic to...

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Yeah, it looks like we only need those for 2 classes, and something about measles for those 2 classes as well. Those are for the maternal neonatal classes I

  21. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Jennell, do you know what the whole nose and throat cultures are all about? ***** said it's something about the flu, but what do they do, check to see if you have the

  22. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    No problem I hope it's alright that I posted it. I don't see why it wouldn't be, since they have a PDF with the classes available online, it just seems like they clumped the classes differently now....

  25. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I'm pretty sure that "Y" said that we could take the NCLEX after Pediatrics, which for us non-accelerated people would be in February of 2012. I heard the same thing from a super nice former student,...
