    How to get into school?

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

    Prereqs are courses you need to take before you are accepted into a formal degree program. Seriously, you need to aim for an A in every class you take, competition for nursing school is higher than...

    What is so hard about A&P 1?

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

    :flmngmd: Flame me if you all will, but A&P is NOT hard. If you read before each lecture (even if you don't know what you just read), sit & take your notes in the front row like a good little...

    PacoUSA replied to branch2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to speak with an academic advisor at your school, they can guide you specifically with what you need to do to pursue a nursing degree there. Every school is different in their requirements,...

    PacoUSA posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I was waitlisted earlier this year for an ABSN program that started last July, one that ultimately did not offer me admission due to filling all their seats. This school requires 3 letters of...

    Re-Applying to a Nursing School: Use Same Prof for LoR?

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

    OK, no takers. Never mind my request. I decided for myself that I would ask him for another recommendation, and he was very happy to oblige. I'll just take a chance that this repeat recommender...

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

    Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

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

    Now I know the story behind your username ... I would be curious to know how receptive they would be to your offer (if you were so inclined) of helping them get just as good a grade, assuming of...

    Competitive Pre-Nursing Students?

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

    I stay far away from people with competitive attitudes like that. It's one thing to surround yourself with people that want to do well in school, but it's another to associate with ones that will step...

    new grad who didn't get into a specific nursing program

    PacoUSA replied to dedicate's topic in General Nursing

    my first instinct was why you immediately thought there is something wrong with you. perhaps the employer determined that their facility was not quite the right fit for someone of your caliber. it's...

    Stony Brook BSN - Summer/Fall 2011 Applicants

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in New York Nursing

    THANKS for the heads up on the dual application thing. I am inclined to just apply to the ABSN only if I will have to ask my references to submit their recommendations twice to SB. Bad enough I am...

    Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    PacoUSA replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    I stand corrected, you're right. I should not make such a blanket statement about all schools, and being originally from NYC I should have remembered that some reputable schools do advertise on TV...
