  1. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    Yes, I believe you have to apply to the university first and then talk to the director of the nursing program. The nursing program needs your police record from here, immunization records, CPR...

  2. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    I've already been accepted into the university, but I still have to do the whole nursing school application thing. My MIL has been struck with slot machine fever, and she is NEVER home to watch the...

    Glad I can help! As far as the fenced backyard, pretty much every backyard is fenced in. The majority of the houses here have gates all around them. Here are two pictures from my town so you can see...

    Yeah, that's the thing about online maps here, they're not exactly worthless, but they're not good either. Many of the GPS systems work good here though, so I would suggest one of those, especially if...

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

    I don't know about the nearest train station to the school, maybe someone else will though. The best directions I can give is if you see a Toyota dealership and an Econo grocery store on Hwy 1, you're...

    Actually, rent in PR is very, very cheap compared to other places. In Orlando, I could barely rent a 3 bedroom shack for less than $1,000. Here, you can find a nice 3 bedroom house in a good...

    Oh man, about the notary thing, I just couldn't believe that there were no notaries here that weren't lawyers, but yep...just lawyers. I am used to the states, where I could just go to Kinko's and pay...

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

    Those maps are kinda useless here in Puerto Rico. When I go, I usually take #1 from Caguas and it's on the right-hand side, right after you pass a Toyota dealership on your right and an Econo on the...

    Yes, thanks SO much PR

  10. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    I'm full of questions today! I guess this is for anyone who knows. What exactly happens once you pass the NCLEX? Does that mean you just have to finish the program and you're done? So if you pass it...

  11. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    Yay! Someone from the program!! I do have a few questions. What is your schedule like? Is it Monday through Friday? And from what time to what time do you go? I know it depends on the general classes...

  12. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    No, I didn't mean that! I'm sorry, hope I didn't offend you. I just think that the whole college experience goes along with nightlife, having fun, etc. Then again, I'm 31, married with 4 little ones,...

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

    LOL That's sooooo true about the voicemail. We never, ever check the voicemail. I find it easier to just call the number back. People will ask us what we think about what they said in the message, and...

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

    Isla Verde and Condado are going to be very expensive. Personally, I would recommend Caguas because it's a big city, you can get houses pretty cheap and you're not too far from the school. It will...

    Ahh yes, you're right. I found the thread and it was about the CRNA exam. Let me know what E says. I just love him, he's the best

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

    I read somewhere in this forum that the pass rate was extremely high. I'm not sure where that thread is though, sorry! That was quite a while back,

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

    Scooters are pretty popular here in PR, but I wouldn't drive one. First, we have huge, and I mean HUGE potholes that don't get much attention. Second, like Oakley44 said, people here in PR drive...

    I'm sorry, I must have missed it! Our phone was dead pretty much all day yesterday. My hubby can't seem to get in the habit of charging it LOL Call me today if you still need help. As for the fall...

  21. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    Hi metrogirl! As far as the time it takes to hear back from the school after applying...it depends. They took over a month to get my credits transferred over from my school in Orlando. You should be...

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

    Thanks for the info on Turabo! I think I'll stick with La Inter because I want to hurry up and get my degree. I don't want to mess around for another 4 years. I'm 31 already, I need to do something...

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

    Hi! You don't need any prereqs at all. You can incorporate them in with the nursing classes. Supposedly if you have all of your general classes, you can be on the "advanced" track and get finished in...

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

    I don't think you'll have any problem transferring your degree to the U.S., hollybegolly. My best friend works for an optometry chain and a ton of the doctors that work there graduated from La Inter....

  25. Puerto Rico school feedback?

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

    That's very true. Honestly, it's frustrating, but trust me when I say that this type of thing is typical for pretty much every aspect of life/business here on the island. Things are EXTREMELY laid...
