    Accelerated Bachelors Program at Stony Brook U: Anyone hear back yet?

    PacoUSA replied to KA8687's topic in General Students

    Ack!!! Too late ... I checked SOLAR about 15 minutes ago. I just assumed you were talking about the message center that is on the left side of the

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    OK, so someone on another thread mentioned that there was email on SOLAR where they will possibly alert us about admissions decisions. I had no idea that there was such a thing so the curiosity got...

    Accelerated Bachelors Program at Stony Brook U: Anyone hear back yet?

    PacoUSA replied to KA8687's topic in General Students

    Hmm, for some odd reason I never realized that SOLAR itself has email .... Now you're going to make me check and see where that is, breaking my 2-month streak of not checking ...

    University of Miami Accelerated BSN Program

    PacoUSA replied to Bambina Gina's topic in Florida Nursing

    They did not specify, sounds to me like it is a general release of decisions. I suspect they have been getting many calls about this so they were reluctant to give out any more information than...

    University of Miami Accelerated BSN Program

    PacoUSA replied to Bambina Gina's topic in Florida Nursing

    You're right, I have been waiting a while. I sent in my application early Nov. You peaked my curiosity and I called them. I was told decision letters will be going out within this week and next...

    UCF Accelerated BSN 2011-2012

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    At the information session I attended, we were told that one has to have at least a 3.4 overall GPA to be a competitive applicant (that's all undergrad courses, not just prereqs as prereq GPA does not...

    Accelerated Bachelors Program at Stony Brook U: Anyone hear back yet?

    PacoUSA replied to KA8687's topic in General Students

    I don't believe SOLAR notifies you outright that you were accepted, waitlisted or denied per se. Last year, people who were eventually accepted noticed extra content added on their SOLAR screens...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    Welcome (CSy)! I expected to hear from Miami by now but nothing yet. I am not expecting to hear anything from the other 2 schools to which I applied besides SBU until mid Feb at least. It's Jan 10,...

    Too old to begin career in ED?

    PacoUSA replied to rnhope's topic in General Nursing

    Who says you have to retire when you're 65? Hopefully you will be in it for years thereafter as long as your body and mind will allow! God willing, I would like to work into my mid-70s at the very...

    Too old to begin career in ED?

    PacoUSA replied to rnhope's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a question of whether you are too old to do something, its whether you are young enough to do it. That you are! Who says you have to tell anyone your age? I am 41 and was told a few months...

    Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    PacoUSA replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You must have not had the tightest privacy settings in place for your profile. My profile is like the Pentagon, lol. To someone who is not my friend, all they can see is my profile picture, my name,...

    Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    PacoUSA replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Still does not make sense. I don't see how employers would think of finding you on Facebook if your name is Mary Smith and you list your name as Jane Morgan. You don't have to use your real picture as...

    Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    So what's wrong with using a different name on Facebook? That way if you're searched your profile won't be immediately

    Dilemma: "course" of action to take

    PacoUSA replied to nurse2B_TXstyle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this all happening at the same school? If so, I say take the prereqs for nursing and pursue that program. You're not going to be at an advantage with two associate

    Summer hours?

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

    In a regular semester, it's not a big deal. Micro, AP2 and Algebra in one 6 week summer session IS suicidal! Although I must admit I don't think a school would allow that many credits to be taken in...

    I took summer classes in 2009 and 2010. In 2009 I took A&P 1 for 6 weeks and then A&P 2 for the next 6 weeks (4 credits each course which included labs 2x a week). In 2010 I took nutrition...

    When I was @ your age, I considered being a nurse, but a few stupid issues stood in my way and I never again considered it until now - 20 years later. One of those issues was that I was afraid of...
