    Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    It's Jan 24 and I still have not heard anything from UM. I'm not really sweating it though, because I have decided not to attend if I am accepted. The timing of the admissions and the scholarship...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I never did ... I did contemplate it for a while. I was a little hesitant to ask my recommenders for more than two recommendation letters each, which is why I narrowed my schools that required them...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    This thread was REALLY quiet during the weekend. Either everyone was out and about forgetting about SOLAR (that would be a good thing!!) or everyone was locked in a dark closet sobbing and heaving...

    Meiosis-haploid... and then????

    PacoUSA replied to TheresaW.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I recall correctly, haploid cells by definition only have one set of chromosomes. You can't have less than 1 chromosome (absent some genetic defect I guess). This is why sperm and eggs are haploid...

    Ranking of nursing schools + undergraduate degree (ABSN)

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

    You won't find rankings of undergrad nursing or ABSN programs anywhere because there is no such thing (and believe me I have looked into it). I do know US News and World Reports has rankings and...

    Worried about getting into nursing school

    PacoUSA replied to Shanny246's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    30 more risky to have kids? Geez, I know dozens of women personally that have given birth throughout their 30's (and early 40's) with no problems. There's no magic number for all women. As long as...

    I'm jealous of YOU! Let's trade!! Gosh, what I would not give to be decided about where I am going by now, and financially assured to boot! Just because you're headed to MGH does not mean you have...

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

    Only if it's a book in high demand can you buy it used and often sell it on eBay or Half.com for the same or more that what you originally paid ... believe me, I have done it. But really, it's more of...

    Why do people rent text books?

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

    Knowing my school and everything else they do, I am pretty sure it's THEM. Thankfully I was only attending there to complete prereqs and I am done with that
