  1. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    It's cool. The 1+3 programs are not very popular. I only started to look at one of them seriously when a poster mentioned she finished BSN prereqs in a year (and ment a school year, 2 semesters) which...

  2. Montgomery College pushed it's deadline back to April 1st (no joke).

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Maryland Nursing

    LAST CALL!!! Last day to apply for a MC health program is

  3. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Mine says the same, and I remember the spots being blank before... Oh and no problem Bak, I am here to

  4. Got my rejection letter today..

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

    I second the spreadsheet idea, it helped me decide which classes I took (although only two schools were similar enough to go for and one was next to my house and was in line with my values where the...

  5. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    Oh, it's not my ADN program just the one close to me. The way it works out is the ADN has "recommended" courses that are technically co-reqs but applicants can't get in without them, it seems like...

  6. Worried about not having a 4.0? DONT!

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

    California BSN programs across the state enjoy a pretty lax amount of competition with just over 2 qualified applicants for every 1 slot. But you are totally right that every school is different in...

  7. UMB FALL 2011

    Student4_life replied to kayroool's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Mombak2skool, I think you missed this post by Grey Lady. The Fin Aid office wanted FASFA's in by the 28th of Feb. for priority funding, but you should still try to get your app in ASAP....

  8. Scholarship app-what are they looking for?

    Student4_life replied to Mom/Nurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your GPA is great, but I suspect that the are going do something like take the top 3x canidates (where x equals the number of spots available) and then see what the letters of recommendation say about...

  9. Got my rejection letter today..

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

    The 21 on the ACT isn't doing you any favors. That score only puts you in the 57th percentile, so 42% of the population (and about 42% of the applicants) scored higher than you. You should really...

  10. Is it REALLY possible to quit my job and go to school full time??

    Student4_life replied to horseygirl2rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can also do what I did and squirrel away every un-needed penny for a while so you have supplemental income. There are also scholarships of every color out

  11. GPA Question

    Student4_life replied to Mom/Nurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The schools that do +/- give an -A a 3.7. So it stands to reason that anything over a 3.7 is an

  12. Is the TEAS test one BIG standardized test..or?

    Student4_life replied to cocopie1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Wow, the exact same test? That really limits the validity of the test taking system that is ATI, and I guess thats why my school doesn't put too much behind the TEAS

  13. Is the TEAS test one BIG standardized test..or?

    Student4_life replied to cocopie1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I only took it the one time but I am sure there are multiple variations of the test, otherwise no one would be allowed to take the test a second

  14. Who's still waiting?

    Student4_life replied to ksm84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to the same program as the OP, but they were smarter than I and have a back-up. All my eggs are in one basket and there is no telling exactly when we are going to find out. The apps were due...

  15. I go to ITT-Tech...

    Student4_life replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

    Not really. Each and every addition student causes the school to lose more money. The increase of students and decrease of funding is causing a nightmare at the CC's nationwide. CC's break even with...

  16. I go to ITT-Tech...

    Student4_life replied to TeamSteven01's topic in School, College Programs

    CC's lose money, every single one of them. The state or county government pays for that new structure. The state and county also pay for the vast majority of the cost of tuition (easy way to see this...

  17. BSN program with no waitlist

    Student4_life replied to scm1990's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although there are tons of BSN programs without pre-reqs I really dont think there are too many programs taking applicants this late in the cycle (none in the MD/DC area). I am not sure why you are in...

  18. repeated one of the pre-requisite class, still wants to get in nursing school

    Student4_life replied to Mentalageis16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, sometimes an F is not counted as a repeat because the initial grade was not passing and the F will not show up on transcripts at all if you retake it. Its not a policy I agree with as I worked...

  19. Semester is than half over- How is everyone doing?

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

    Psychology is my weakness, I barely staved off a bad grade in into Psych and not Developement Psy is threating to destroy my GPA... The rest of the smemster is going well, just this one dang class...

  20. finding schools - application due dates and prereqs

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

    ^what they said. Plus pre-reqs you take in California might not transfer to a school in NY. The list is a good regional idea, but only as a plan and not as an absolute. I did a spread sheet for all...

  21. Looking into Nursing Program, Weighing my options

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

    Do community college. The market isn't great for new grads and the last thing you want is +70k in loans (if you can even get banks to loan that kind of money), and no way to pay it

  22. Reality Check for Nursing Hopefuls

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

    Just dont go to a for-profit school thinking its ok to rack up a huge debt because you will get a job after you graduate. I have no issue with people making informed decisions (afterall thats how I...

  23. Montgomery College pushed it's deadline back to April 1st (no joke).

    Student4_life replied to Student4_life's topic in Maryland Nursing

    They extended it last fall as well, not sure why they extend it (maybe not enough qualified

  24. Tired of Pre-Reqs

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

    I so feel you OP. I am a strong student but just can't concentrate enough as I come to the end of my Pre-reqs... Its to the point where I am about to destroy my GPA... But that's not why I hopped into...

  25. What prereq coures should I try to not overlap in a semester

    Student4_life replied to mike0930's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Summer I AP1 Summer II AP2 Fall the rest of the junk. This will keep you at or above 3/4 time, and shouldn't be taxing (I took AP1&2 over the summer and loved it, very brisk
