  1. Disappointed, now what to do??

    Student4_life replied to Gavinsmama's topic in General Students

    You're only a failure if you give up. Cliche as it is, that quote really applies here. You aren't a failure for getting the pre-reqs for multiple schools done. If setting your self up to apply to...

  2. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    ^you nailed it. Except UMB doesn't tell people they are waitlisted. 1st round gets 14 days to accept or decline. If they decline then some of those that are still pending are offered a seat and so on...

  3. ASN or BSN?

    Student4_life replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Well, you just missed the fall deadline for UMB so it would be a year before you started classes at UMB assuming you got in (unlike MC that uses grades pretty much as p/f and ranks using the TEAS, UMB...

  4. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    So I crunched the numbers (cause thats what I do) to see when we would hear back. If we go off the average for the last 4 admissions cycles for the traditional BSN the date of the first round of...

  5. Searching for Essay Help. Original, I know.

    Student4_life replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not several, just one. Too many cooks ruin the pot, and too many English Professors strip a paper of it's soul. Go for a professor that is close to your maturity (as immature as possible with out you...

  6. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I just hope the weather stays good in the Baltimore area so the admissions comittee can make it into review apps. Last year a whole week was lost in schools across the state in Snowmageddon, and I am...

  7. Searching for Essay Help. Original, I know.

    Student4_life replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like it, didn't count the words as I am on my phone (the snow storm took my cable and power so no PC with it's word processor for me), but if you are under keep it as is. Again it's original, I can...

  8. Searching for Essay Help. Original, I know.

    Student4_life replied to punkydoodlesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly it's the best essay I have read on here. It's clear, orderly, answers the question and includes humor. To clean it up a bit: you kind of go on about your F ridden semester, I am sure they...

  9. Nursing essay help. ASAP please!!

    Student4_life replied to Stphnie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Its strong, but tighten it up. They are reading anywhere from Hundreds to thousands of these essays, one after the next (just think how tedious that is). Keep it clean. For my style of writing I stay...

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    It's Feb 1st! Hurray for reaching the first milestone. Now that everything is in and the deadline for application is behind us there really is nothing to do but wait (well that and crush our classes,...

  11. Prospective Nursing Student - Admission Anxiety!

    Student4_life replied to cccormier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Canadiens have a 4.2 scale? That's kinda cool, but it just doesn't sound as cool as 4.0. How does that work? Do you get more points for an A+ (here in the states both an A and A+ just give you 4.0) or...

  12. prerequisite grade question

    Student4_life replied to tamosaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some schools drop the old grade. Some schools average the two. Some schools do not allow repeats. Call the school that has the nursing program you want to apply to and ask them what their policy

  13. MILITARY NURSING?!

    Student4_life replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A GED will definitely hinder your ability to get the military to pay for school prior to service, not that it's impossible, just a very long shot. Active duty Air Force and Navy have no use for ADN...

  14. GPA for California Schools

    Student4_life replied to Eddiec28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3.46 is a good GPA, but it is not as close to a 3.8 as you think. That being said, 3.8 is the average, not the minimium and each and every semester is different. You really need to get going on vol...

  15. Need advice - bad grades from past degree

    Student4_life replied to average_student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every program is different on what it allows. One school may only look at Prereqs while the next will look at all courses taken. Some schools will drop the earlier grade if the course is retaken,...

  16. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Opps, I just discovered that I left my Phi Theta Kappa membership off my application resume. I doubt PTK status shows anything that GPA doesn't, but I only joined to put it on my

    As a back up you can get blood work done(Titer)to prove you have had the vaccine before and most 85%ish develop long term

  18. Low GPA...

    Student4_life replied to Kim45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You messed up, but it's high school and after you knock out your prereqs no one will care about how ya did back then (ok there are some schools that still want HS transcripts, just like there are some...

  19. Looking for ways to finagle my way into ADN program ...

    Student4_life replied to anpvk7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^ on top of that, classes are limited by clinicals not classroom space so there is no way to squeeze into a class. Sorry that you are so close, but I think you are on the right track with improving...

  22. what are my chances at chamberlain?

    Student4_life replied to cmay1124's topic in Chamberlain College

    Private does not mean for profit. JHU, Harvard, Yale etc not-for-profit. ITT, DeVry, Drexel, Strayer, Kaplan, etc are for profit and very concerned with keeping their stockholders happy by earning...

  23. what are my chances at chamberlain?

    Student4_life replied to cmay1124's topic in Chamberlain College

    It's a for profit school. If you have a pulse and the ability to pay they will find a way to get you in. Your stats aren't bad, have you looked into other programs that are not for profit in your...

    Student4_life replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Are all nursing schools based on a point system?

    Student4_life replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
