  1. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hehe. Maybe I'm just not thinking. (Or reading, apparently.) Just curious if you remembered where you thought you saw it, really, since the documentation is still online and then I could track it down...

  2. Ridiculous book vent

    twois replied to JBMmom's topic in General Students

    Yeah, check the company's website - almost all of them allow you to buy the online access separately. It's not cheap (often $70-100 per class) but definitely better than paying for some ridiculous,...

  3. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Where did you see that? I sent everything in one big packet... confirmation of delivery, Priority Mail, etc... I don't trust a government agency to put 4 different mailings together under my file! It...

  4. WOW!!! I just saw how much first semester books cost!!!

    twois replied to Waitingtill2010's topic in General Students

    Half.com and next-oldest editions (if the required text is REALLY new) are the greatest thing ever! I think my required books were around $5-600 new for our first semester, but I paid about $80. If...

  5. Waiting acceptance/rejection letter....

    twois replied to ambition2012's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I did my NS prereqs at SFC over the last fall/spring, so I know how many people apply to their program. The points system is so stressful, I feel! I was shocked to find out that students...

  6. dealing with a fetal demise

    twois replied to babymamaRN6's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Something else to consider in the seeing the child, memories train of thought... there's an organization of photographers called Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep who volunteer their services for free to...

  7. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    SandyH, one of my transcripts was delayed as well... let M know and email her an unofficial transcript if you can. They will use it to make initial decisions and make sure the official one tells the...

  8. 1460 on GRE and not accepted?

    twois replied to sandmanwife's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hard to tell... GPA might have been too low, though a 3.5 is generally quite good... were there deadlines you were pushing? Really, the only person who'll be able to answer this is the program...

  9. Nudity?

    twois replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Interesting! I start at Duke in August. Not that I really care about briefly letting the girls loose for medical inspection - parts are parts, I don't really mind if my classmates see some skin. (And...

  10. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    twois replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    For the Fall 2010 class, we had to send in ALL transcripts. Every single class you've taken, even if it didn't end up counting towards your BA/BS/etc. Which was a pain to me, because I switched...

  11. Good idea to take micro and anatomy together?

    twois replied to dangerkader08's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely agree with the "know thyself" comments so far. Are you talking about A&P I or II? Since you have to take both in sequence, likely, I wouldn't take A&P I and Micro together - let...

  12. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think so. I spoke with the admissions coordinator from my school (which is an exquisitely expensive private school) and she said they have had awardees in the past. If they're awarding based...

  13. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been reading through last year's thread and I'm curious how the application process has changed. Several times in last year's group it was mentioned that the final recipients were selected at...

  14. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think from what I've read it's just to establish that you're not in default on any federal financial obligations... it seems silly to base the scholarship, which essentially requires you to have no...

  15. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An accelerated BSN is not a bridge program (those are RN-to-BSN) or a dual degree program (that means two degrees simultaneously). Accelerated BSNs are eligible for the scholarship, as far as I can...

  16. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sent mine in today... whew! I feel like applying for this was more intense than applying for nursing school was. :) I checked, double checked, and triple checked everything and still was a little...

  17. The HRSA Nursing Scholarship

    twois replied to Rags2Riches RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does anyone know if the awards are first-come first-served or if they're waiting until the deadline to start doing this? Another thread here suggested the former, but when I spoke to someone at the...

  18. nursing scholarship from the US Dept. of Health

    twois replied to rocky16's topic in General Nursing

    Is this really first-come first-served? When I called for information about it, I was told that decisions wouldn't start being made until the deadline! Crap crap crap. This semester's been so crazy...

  19. Accelerated BSN program choice advice

    twois replied to tink0820's topic in General Students

    Check out Duke and UNC in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, both top-notch programs in a fantastic and affordable area. (I'm starting at Duke in August and I'm absolutely over the moon about it,...

  20. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    YAY!!! So excited you guys got in! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=310603520278&ref=ts - our Facebook group for the Fall class.

  21. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I'll send you a PM when time gets closer... we head out there May

  22. ABSN Duke Fall 2010

    twois replied to Maryash79's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Sarabear, I'm sad you won't be with us at Duke, but totally jealous of OHSU. :) That would have been my first choice if they didn't very strictly hold to the 3.0 cumulative minimum GPA... I'm one of...

  23. What are you taking your first semester Summer/Fall 10

    twois replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    So, this is our first semester schedule in my ABSN program. There are two tracks (research and Spanish) hence the "or" in the last class. Introduction to Professional Nursing (2 undergrad credits)...

  24. Who's starting (or hoping to start) this fall?

    twois replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I start this fall! I still have to finish A&P II and Micro and I swear this semester is just absolutely dragging on. I want summer to get here and all the exciting getting-ready-for-nursing-school...

  25. Losing my superpowers

    twois replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Man, I am right there with you guys. Halfway through spring is ALWAYS a 'slump' for me and it's worse than ever this year, knowing that I'm already accepted to NS and just need to get through these...
