    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    What's meant to be will happen, don't be distraught! My being waitlisted last year for me was a sign that it was not the right time but not to lose hope. What is yours will come to you! MERRY...

    need advice about taking prerequisite courses

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

    I don't see why you would not be allowed to pursue nursing OR teaching for that matter, as long as one has the proper non-immigrant visa that allows for legal employment. Am not aware of any rules...

    What are the "private forums" you get...

    PacoUSA replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    I just found the link to this "private premium forum". It appears as a link right under this notation on the comparison chart, but I suppose you will only see the link once you're a member. I simply...

    PacoUSA replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    I've been premium for several months, and I think I have yet to venture into those private forums. Now I am going to look for them ... ... I was happy to get a larger private mailbox, more time to...

    Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

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

    Because they can't afford to get a bachelor's degree right now, perhaps? Questioning the reasons people pursue either an ADN or a BSN is really kind of ridiculous, and I am personally tired of it...

    Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    I also thought there were 2 deadlines. Early Decision being Dec 1 and regular being March 1 for the accelerated. Remember reading that somewhere on the website. March 1 seems so late for summer...

    Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    Had I known we could apply that early I would have sent it in before summer as well. I was under the impression (as with my other schools) that applications were not available until Sept at the...

    Univ of Miami Accelerated BSN 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    BIG TIME!! I should have listened to that little voice in my head 16 years ago while I was in class as a first year student, it was screaming GET OUT, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU! I finished my degree...

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    Congratulations Gina!! I'm very surprised there are not more applicants or students on Allnurses.com. What's up with that? When did you send in your application, Gina? Trying to gauge timeline from...

    A Moronic Professor's Feedback - Am I being too sensitive?

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

    I agree. As a nurse, you're going to have to brush off much more severe criticisms than this you perceived. And just to note, I read the professor's note not as a personal attack, but as a general...

    Online CPR Cert

    PacoUSA replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, they look very similar ... See below! Unless it says american red cross, it's not a valid certification. I went to that scam website again and read their faq. They claim: after passing the online...

    need advice about taking prerequisite courses

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

    I would suggest that you start volunteering now, never too soon to start doing that. UCLA has a medical center, no? They are a big hospital and will have more opportunities. That way you can start...

    Online CPR Cert

    PacoUSA replied to CNM2B201?'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most schools and employers specify that the CPR course must be taken through the American Heart Association, and your link does not look like its in any way affiliated with it. Don't do it. Save...

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

    As long as the school at which you take your prereqs is regionally accredited, it does not matter if you take them at a CC or a 4-year
