My BF and I will be moving to Las Vegas (along with my 4 year old daughter), in July and we're beginning our apartment hunt. He's lived there before, so he has an idea of the area we're looking at. I was just wondering if anyone out there has any a...

My fiance will be looking into University of Rochester for grad school, and I was curious what RN's typically make in the area. I'll have a little over a years worth of experience by the time we would be moving there. Also, what are some opinions a...

At my school its broken down like: 4.0 A 3.7 A- 3.3 B+ 3.0 B 2.7 B- 2.3 C+ 2.0 C 1.7 C- 1.3 D+ 1.0 D 0.7 D- Anything lower is considered Failing.

Okay HUGE HUGE vent here. I found out today that aparently the nursing students have a really bad reputation within the biology department at my school. Now, i'll admit that there are a few whiny pre-rn students at my school, but it makes me sooooo...

It used to be that you had to wait 3 years to reapply, but they changed that this year. Now if you don't get your B on the second try you're out for good. As for the wait list, the nursing advisor told me in October that there was a small wait list ...

There isn't really a wait list at UNLV right now. Once you've completed your pre reqs, you are eligible o start the program. They base entrance on when you were admitted to the school of nursing. At most, I've heard that people may have to wait a ...

I'm at UNLV right now. The last time I saw a pass rate posted, it was 83%. However, since then the entrance requirements to get into their program have gone up. They require a 3.0 overall, as well as a 3.0 in all math and sciences. This isn't OVE...

Does your school allow you to switch to "auditing" the class? If it gets to that deadline and it looks like you're not going to pass, you can switch it over to audit, that makes it look like you were taking hte class for fun. You don't get credit, ...

Thanks so much! I feel better today. My next lecture exam isn't untill the week after spring break, so I'll be spending my break with my nose in a book. My classes avg for the test was a 79%, so it helps me feel better that I was above that :)

Hey everyone! I haven't posted since the beginning of the semester, but since we're all talking about our first exams... I got my score for my first lecture exam, and I only got an 82%. On the one hand, I'm pretty dissapointed in my grade, on the ot...

Have you thought about taking other courses that might interest you? Are there any other gen-ed requirements of the university that you applied to? Go part time to the community college and take things that are interesting/fun.

I had to take my SAT's for math placement when I got accepted at UNLV. I never took them in highschool. I gotta say, the strangest part was being older than all the highschool kids that were there. Luckily, I'm only 24 and I lookyoung, so I didn't...

oh my :uhoh21: This makes my class load look like a walk in the park!! Good luck next semester!!

I'm starting A&P I this spring as well! Along with Spanish, English 102, a lifespan development class (encompassing psychology, sociology, nutrition, ets), and GOLF!! It's 15 credits, which in a quarter system is fine, but here in "Semester Land...

Hi all!, I was watching a rerun of ER the other morning, and the nurses were talking about getting OT for working more than 8 hours in a shift. I'm still a student, but I always figured that if I worked 36 hours a week I wouldn't have overtime, rega...

Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the proper thread so please bear with me :) I'm currently a pre-nursing student, and my fiance and I have been discussing children. We know we want to have them, but are unsure about timing in realation to me start...

It really depends on how much experience you have. After waiting tables for 5 years I was able to get hired at a fine dining restaurant making $100-$150 per night. If you've never waited tables before, it could be difficult to find work, as most p...

Yup, that's my situation. Luckily we both work in restaurants as servers, so we are able to make full time $$ working >20 hours per week. We don't use child care, so we work opposite shifts (me during hte days when I don't have classes, and he w...

I'm planning on taking everything ($$ wise) that my school is willing to give me once I start my actual nursing classes, I want to work as little as possible. I'm projectng that I'll have at least $35k in loans when I graduate. I know some hospitals...

The real reason I'm going into nursing is because I want to work in the medical profession. Honestly, I would have preferred ot go to medical school, as was my plan all through highschool. However, an unexpected pregnancy, and even more unexpectedl...

That's definatley one of the scholarships I'll be looking into. Is it the same thing as the "adopt-a-nurse" program? I think it said it was a loan for 2k per semester during the last 4 semesters of your program, in return you work one year for ever...

If we would have stayed in Seattle, that's how much I'd be paying per year at a private college as well. The odds of getting into the Universtiy of Washington's program was so slim I didn't even want to apply. I guess thinking about it that way put...

Vegas is growing REALLY quickly. Last I heard, the houses have appreciated between 20 and 30% over the last year. However, it's still cheaper than where we live now. The apartment we're getting there for $785 would cost us at least $900 here. I'm ...
