    PacoUSA replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    ^^ A well-written response ErinRN2B ... and thanks for that article link. I was unaware that was even going on, I am actually glad it is because in the long run it protects future financial aid...

    Is Sanford Brown really a bad school?

    PacoUSA replied to tyandgil's topic in General Students

    Flame me if you want :flmngmd: ... but I wouldn't get my nursing degree from any school that chooses to advertise during Maury or The Wendy Williams Show ... or advertise on TV at all for that

    Microbiology problem, 3 credit course OK!?

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

    I think what is important is that the course had a lab component. If you can show that it did, then you may be OK. I say "may" because as previously suggested you should run this prereq by your...

    So .. for those of you that have accepted offers of admission to nursing schools, have you made your decisions before or after you get a financial aid award letter? I currently have an open offer of...

    PacoUSA replied to PacoUSA's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just got a calback this morning from UCF. They will accept any version of the TEAS, specifically 3.0, 4.0, or V as long as results show testing in all four categories of Reading, Math, Science and...

    TEAS Dilemma: A Tale of Two Schools

    PacoUSA posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Well, here is my dilemma ... I am applying to ABSN programs @ UCF and UNF and both schools require the TEAS. However, UNF has specifically stated they only accept version V of the test while UCF is...

    UPenn nursing school admissions question -- please help

    PacoUSA replied to n1cktm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Either I have read this story before on another thread OR your story is oddly similar with someone else's on here ... You have three options: (1) Disclose it. Because what IF you were supposed to...

    Well, No Nursing for Me

    PacoUSA replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    This was my first thought as well when I read the OP's post. Seriously, if you have decided not to go into nursing solely based on ONE test, you clearly did not want to go in the first place....

    Should I become a nurse at 30?

    PacoUSA replied to flyfish108's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By trade school, do you mean one of those schools that advertise on TV like Everest and Sanford-Brown? I am not too verse on their programs, but I do know they can be pricey. I think they are only...

    UM Accelerated nursing Program

    PacoUSA replied to mrhurricane23's topic in Florida Nursing

    I just today started thinking of applying to their ABSN program as well, though I have to check to see if my prereqs would be transferable (in terms of how long ago I took some of them). I hear varied...

    how to split taking pre-reqs

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

    I think your prereq schedule is very doable. Glad to see you don't have more than one science in each semester, that for most people is the kiss of death. I don't consider nutrition a science for...

    A&P and Micro at the same time?

    PacoUSA replied to rcfj2290's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally I would not do it. I mean, I took A&P and micro in separate semesters, so that concern is gone for me. One of my micro classmates did in fact take A&P 2 and micro together and most...

    Piercings While Taking CNA Course & Clinical?

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

    This line alone in your post should tell you what you really should do about your piercings. Best to leave them out completely. Trying to conceal them otherwise seems like more work than its worth...

    4.0 in pre reqs difficulty

    PacoUSA replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My microbiology prof is a perfect example of this. I read her reviews on RMP and a lot of people ripped her apart, while a minority of students praised her. With such a mixed bag of reviews, I did not...

    4.0 in pre reqs difficulty

    PacoUSA replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    About as hard as it would be at a 4-year university. Prereqs are only as difficult as the time that you DON'T put into them to study. Get behind in your reading & assignments and you're...
