    apply before prereqisites are done?

    PacoUSA replied to jennyjuniper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think these issues are unique to the West coast, they seem to be in line with every accelerated BSN that I have read up on: many programs state that you can have no more than 1 or 2 prereqs in...

    I heard prerequisite is not require at bmcc, is it true? Somebody helps pls???

    PacoUSA replied to sherikhawo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is any other school in NYC that accommodates weekend students other than BMCC, and with that I am not completely sure whether you will still be required to attend classes during...

    What do you think of this suggestion?

    PacoUSA replied to rn/writer's topic in Men in Nursing

    To be quite honest, I did not even realize that there WAS a name change to this forum. If I had not seen this thread I would have never realized Male Nursing was changed to Men in Nursing. There...

    Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

    PacoUSA replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am originally from the Bronx as well and moved to Florida in 2006. Like many people from NY I visited Florida incessantly before I moved here, and I can tell you now that no matter how many times...

    I heard prerequisite is not require at bmcc, is it true? Somebody helps pls???

    PacoUSA replied to sherikhawo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've heard the BMCC program is not only extremely popular, it is extremely competitive. Very GPA oriented. You will want to work towards getting an "A" in every prereq, plenty of other candidates...

    Accelerated BSN or 4-year Program better for Grad School acceptance?

    PacoUSA replied to FortunateFool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I honestly don't see any substantive difference between a traditional or accelerated BSN program. You would be taking the same quality and number of nursing courses as a traditional BSN. A...

    Does anyone have experience with UCF's accelerated program?

    PacoUSA replied to Callister's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did sit with one of the advisors in Orlando some months ago when I was considering going here. She noted that the average GPA of the last entering ABSN class was 3.7 ... very competitive program....

    UCF At DSC Spring 2010

    PacoUSA replied to conandcait's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    VERY GLAD to read your email ... keep on going, you will find a way to get your RN. Even if it is the ADN route, you can get your BSN online and perhaps get an employer to pay that portion, who...

    PacoUSA replied to Airfixit's topic in Men in Nursing

    I thought you sounded familiar ... had to find your prior post to make sure you weren't asking the same question: https://allnurses.com/men-nursing-forum/need-help-making-412543.html Anyway, it...

    Interested in Nursing School, but?!

    PacoUSA replied to Reallyconfused0160's topic in Men in Nursing

    Wow ... Where do I begin with your post? Well, I personally cannot begin to even discuss topics of addiction with you because the only addiction I have ever battled was nicotine and I successfully...

    Nassau CC or Elsewhere?

    PacoUSA replied to Murse7's topic in New York Nursing

    Regardless of what you do, you need to get those grades UP! The pool of applicants are getting higher GPAs every year and the competition gets stiffer and stiffer, especially at the publicly-funded...

    UCF At DSC Spring 2010

    PacoUSA replied to conandcait's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty sure the nursing advisor was in no position to predict months ago what this year's applicant pool would look like - it has the potential to radically change. Unfortunately, it's easy to...

    A question about taking pre-reqs

    PacoUSA replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every nursing program is different, most all the programs want different prereqs - some want nutrition, others want chem, and a few others want stats but not nutrition or chem and then there are those...

    Can't stop talking about nursing school?

    PacoUSA replied to mydee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school dreams ... we're in the honeymoon stage I think :) ... I wish I could roll out of bed tomorrow and start working as a nurse, this was something I should have been doing 20 years ago but...

    Is taking Microbiology online a recipe for disaster?

    PacoUSA replied to Ted D's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your transcript should not really have any indication that you took the class online. The online classes I took look like any other classroom course on my transcript. As for taking Micro online, I am...

    What type of Chemistry did you take?

    PacoUSA replied to laughoutloud8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Inorganic Chem I & II, which I suppose was designed for all the medical professions. I took it 5 years ago when I thought I wanted to do chiropractic (that is before I ran screaming away...

    Georgetown U. Accelerated BSN - Spring 2010

    PacoUSA replied to JLSELD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sure -- my 1st choice is Columbia. I eventually want to do my MSN there, but I would not mind going elsewhere for my BSN if I had to, especially Georgetown and the draw for me is also the WHC...

    Is this normal?

    PacoUSA replied to nohika's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have not mentioned whether or not you're volunteering @ a hospital. Are you? If not, I highly recommend it. It not only gives you excellent exposure into the hospital environment and to nurses...

    what school are you looking into??

    PacoUSA replied to Kaligirl02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Looking @ accelerated BSNs for 2010, still have to take micro, which I am dreading but hopefully will not be as bad an I am making it out to be. Columbia University in NYC is my first choice,...
