  1. Nursing School question.

    Student4_life replied to MOTOvation's topic in General Students

    Many highschool educations do not properly prepare a student for college level courses and they spend time in community colleges taking courses they should have taken in high school instead of taking...

  2. Nursing School question.

    Student4_life replied to MOTOvation's topic in General Students

    You got it. It's 2+2. unless your high school sold you short, cause remedial classes will extend your pre-reqs. Some schools are 1+3, and there are a few 4 year programs, but the vast majority of BSN...

  3. If I already have an undergrad degree, could I transfer to a regular BSN?

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

    Short Answer: You can apply to regular BSN

  4. Howard CC RN program vs Towson BSN program?

    Student4_life replied to akumal987's topic in Maryland Nursing

    IMO, stay at Howard to knock out all your pre-reqs and then see which school accepts you. I know Towson is very difficult to get into so keep your grades high. MHEC has info on Grad rates and nclex...

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Yeah it's 60 credits or an AA from a MD cc before august 1st. The website is

  6. Touro Nevada cancels Spring 2011 BSN cohort!?

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

    I think that not telling you of the new cutoff would be unethical. Surely they are so overwhelmed with applications that they made their last GPA cutoff well above 3.0 and are saving applicants time...

  7. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Nice. I just took the rest of my application into Admissions in Baltimore. I was killing my paper with revisions, so much so that my final paper had no soul. Luckily I had an early rev saved, made...

  8. Scholarships, Grants, Living Allowance for Pre-Nursing Students

    Student4_life replied to Slemon1982's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I see you are in MD, check out MHEC. You can get upto 19k a year. There also is HRSA, but I am not sure that is an option since you have a family. Other than that the pickings are pretty slim for...

  9. The nursing surplus and "timing it"......

    Student4_life replied to WittyUsername's topic in General Students

    People have been writing about the lack of jobs and the glut of new nurses due to the economy on this forum since 2004 (and I am sure it goes back later than that, but that the oldest I've seen). Do...

  10. Why do people rent text books?

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

    Renting is more convinent then buying and selling, and it places the risk on a company vice the student. Many of us dont have the time to monitor Amazon accounts and prep books for shipping, so...

  11. I don't think my TEAS score is good enough :(

    Student4_life replied to Strawberrygirl2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dont worry, the only people that post their scores here either have really high scores or are liars. Its a percentile based test, so its impossiable for everyone to get a high score, for ever 99th...

  12. UAA BSN/ADN vs Charter College?

  14. Hospital Corpsman needs an advice..

    Student4_life replied to repsol23's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Look at UMUC, it's a great school, fully accredited and will grant you some credit for time served. You really should look at taking classes locally though to maximize the effect of the GI Bill and to...

  15. chances of getting in? :(

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

    I don't like your odds. Your sci GPA is just too low, but the good news is that spring is easier to get into then fall, so be sure to crush those last two sciences and if you can take the teas again....

  16. Johns Hopkins acceptance?

    Student4_life replied to future nurse1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I know what its like to go for the req of multiple schools, I was going for 4 when I started pre-reqs. I even made a spread sheet of the schools, their pre-reqs and a list of all the courses I would...

  17. Johns Hopkins acceptance?

    Student4_life replied to future nurse1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Can anyone tell me a little bit about John's Hopkins nursing programs in regards to how difficult it is to get in. I've heard people compare it to ivy leagues so that is why I am asking. I am...

  18. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend and that you will have some time available to reflect on the reason for the time off. I posted this as a stand alone in the MD forum, but wanted to be...

  19. Distinguished scholar community college Transfer program apps are posted

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Maryland Nursing

    So I really hope alot of you are taking a look at what I posted and checking it out without posting. As of 2008 (again the reports in edu are delayed, just like all reports) only 17 nursing students...

  20. Schools that select based on GPA and tests.

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

    Not a silly assumption, I have a highly competitive GPA no matter what classes you count and got a highly competitive precentile on the TEAS, so there is definately a connection there. But I feel you...

  21. Schools that select based on GPA and tests.

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

    Sorry but I dont know of any that dont at least want an essay and a letter of rec or two. Just wondering what kind of grades and test scores you have to warrant such a

  22. TEAS Test study guide

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

  23. Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    Student4_life replied to okiedokie123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, Ghetto schools are great for clinicals. USC in LA teaches Army trama docs, UMB and JHU are in the heart of Baltimore and produce great Doctors and Nurses. You got to think of the

  24. Chemistry

    Student4_life replied to StL_Momma27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chem is a beast. Although I got an A in it, I dont think I would take it in the summer. But since you are on a wait list I am guessing you are going for Pass/Fail and not an A. If thats the case, go...

  25. Do I still have a shot at getting in?

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

    The C & B in A&P hurt, but that D is much worse. I know that you are going to retake it in the spring, but the admissions board isnt going to see the retake grade, just that you got a D and...
