    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes, GOOD LUCK to us all! Honestly don't know if anything will change from last year as to what happens on SOLAR, which was the addition of new student tabs/boxes that clued people in to a possible...

    Why do people rent text books?

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

    Um, renting is my ONLY option when there is a new book that costs over $200 and I don't plan on keeping it and I can rent it for $50. Same goes for a used book which is non returnable at the end of...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    I would have applied to Binghamton, I SHOULD have but perhaps I was reading too much into their chem requirement so I just assumed they would not accept it (mentions something about organic which I...

    Gay Nurses... help!

    PacoUSA replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think that's all that's really required. Why does one have to go around and make an announcement that one is gay? You don't see straight people making similar announcements. Anyone should be able...

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Aw shucks! Thanks lisa_toronto! :) As for being anxious, I can't lie and say that I am not, but it's not to the extent that I can't function. I really can't do anything to change my application, only...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    LOL! I went through this a year ago and I promised myself that I was not going to freak out again. It's a horrible feeling. There is nothing I can do to make the decision come faster, and...

    OK we get it STUD, you're straight

    PacoUSA replied to bigrigcowboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    A major insecurity about people perceiving me as gay is what prevented me from entering the nursing profession when I was in my early 20s. I made up every other excuse in the world to rationalize why...

    I have my Bachelor's of Science and am getting my ADN now...Need YOUR Advice

    PacoUSA replied to RamblinMan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Did you know that there are MSN programs out there that will accept you as an RN with an ADN that also has a non-nursing bachelor's degree? No need to do the BSN. Check the MSN admission requirements...

    chances of getting in? :(

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

    You would not believe the competition to nursing school these days. Get into the mindset of getting the highest grade possible, because there are many many others who are already doing that. Case in...

    history class for a pre-req to get a BSN?

    PacoUSA replied to meghan91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will want to check with the BSN programs that you are considering. Every program I have seen requires different prereqs. A&P and microbiology however are the only courses that they ALL have...

    can i bring my gpa up?

    PacoUSA replied to meghan91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I am assuming your 2.424 GPA is based on these 27 earned credits, this is what I used as a basis for calculating your potential GPA IF you were to earn all A's in your current classes: 2.424 GPA...

    UCF Nursing

    PacoUSA replied to vccorscc's topic in Florida Nursing

    I submitted my APG Petition form a while back for half of the 8 prereqs, which I completed out of state during my first bachelors. The rest of my prereqs were completed in FL (not @ UCF) and did not...

    PacoUSA replied to kheldenb's topic in Florida Nursing

    If I remember correctly, letters won't go out until at least mid-Feb. The interview date is Mar 11, they notified ahead of time so you can keep the day open in case you're selected to

    Advice

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

    The NCLEX is the exam you take after you graduate from nursing school to get licensed as a registered nurse. Clearly that's not the test your advisor was talking about for you to take before the...

    Is it Worth it to Buy the ATI TEAS Online Practice Assessment Test?

    PacoUSA replied to live&love&heal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I bought one of the practice tests and for me I thought it was worth it. After you complete the test under timed conditions, a score report is generated and it pretty much guides you on topics you...

    University of Miami Accelerated BSN Program

    PacoUSA replied to Bambina Gina's topic in Florida Nursing

    Exactly! And what's the point of joining the group if you later discover that you were rejected or you decide to go to school elsewhere? I like allnurses.com just fine for now

    Have to send all transcripts? Online classes?

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

    Schools differ in which GPA they look at for admissions purposes. Some look at how you did on your prereqs only while others look at your GPA across all undergrad courses ever taken. Online classes...

    Submitting Transcripts to Schools

    PacoUSA replied to futurenurse310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to send in EVERY transcript from EVERY college you have ever attended, even if it was just one class. If they posted a grade for you, even if an F or a W, you better send it in. Schools...
