  1. Program retention rates question

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

    You are correct that NCLEX pass rates alone are useless. Sadly students don't ask the retention question, and some schools do end up with a very small portion of the cohort sticking around until...

  2. Took pre-requisites 17 years ago - should I retake?

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

    So much has changed in the last 17 years, but I'd still say don't retake the classes. Cali seems to have alot of schools that frown on repeats of both classes and enterance tests (although I am sure...

  3. Distinguished scholar community college Transfer program apps are posted

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Not sure if anyone else ending up applying for this, but the Scholarship has been abolished by the General Assembly. Kind of upsetting that they waited to inform anyone until after scholarship season...

    Student4_life posted a topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hey guys. MHEC has posted the 2011-2012 transfer scholarship applications. If you are not in the know. The DSCCT is a highly competitive merit based scholarship for MD students that have 60 credits or...

  5. Montgomery College, how long?

    Student4_life replied to mom23boyz's topic in Maryland Nursing

    A big reason MC is accepting people later than UM or GW is that MC's deadline was 1 April where UMB had a 1 Feb deadline (and took until April 12th to send letters of acceptance). MC is ranked #2 by...

  6. Is anyone confident about getting into Nursing School?

    Student4_life posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I spend alot of time on here (more than is healthy, I am cutting back) and have noticed that no matter an applicants stats they seem to be bitting their nails waiting on Admissions to make a move. I...

  7. Are prereq. credits from community college looked down upon?

    Student4_life replied to legr's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Hey I was looking for some info on fin-aid for UMB and stumbled across some things that you might find valueable: From UMB FAQ "Can I take the prerequisite courses at a community college? Yes, we...

  8. Are prereq. credits from community college looked down upon?

    Student4_life replied to legr's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I went to MC, not BCCC or CCBC, but I assume BI101 is biology for non-science majors and BI110 is biology for science Majors. I tutored for both and found 101 to be more difficult as it focused on...

  9. Are prereq. credits from community college looked down upon?

    Student4_life replied to legr's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Why the swap from CCBC? If you look at MHEC's data BCCC (or as they call it CCB (it's old name)), student that transfer from BCCC don't do as well as other transfer students. I doubt admissions will...

  13. Scared and Giving up because of failed mathcourse!!!

    Student4_life replied to Moni1033's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you given thought to taking a lower level math course than the one you failed. It seems to me that failure in math courses is due to not understanding the underlying concepts, and you won't learn...

  14. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    Well I am the one that is saying not to worry about getting less than a 4.0 and I am fully aware of the competition to get into school. I have done a heck of a lot of research, thats why I posted data...

  16. What would you do?

    Student4_life replied to Stever01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Slow and steady. Getting into Nursing School is not a given, nor is getting a job when you are done, so don't take on debt that you can

  17. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    It's very funny to see this thread get to a CC vs Ivy League school debate. Reason being that I first researched and posted the rarity of a 4.0 on a thread that was debating CC vs Ivy Leagues. Full...

  18. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    Not going to give you slack, but I would like to open your eyes to one thing. Mike could not have done better than a 4.0, so no matter how amazing of a school John went to there is no comparison that...

  19. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    So just went to an awards ceremony at my school. It was to recognize students that were on the deans list for a full calendar year, and to award calendar year 4.0 students with a pin (a very ugly,...

  22. Do nursing schools frown on repeat classes?

    Student4_life replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends, in CA there are no repeats. My school averages the two, other schools drop the lower. But even if the school offers full replacement of the lower grade with the higher; if there is a tie, the...

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Just what I mentioned earlier about your wait being longer than the BSN wait. Hang in there, they really do look over everything (which stressed me to no end as my essay had unfourtnate timing), and...
