    dondk replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    candidly, I am considering switching for the Fall 2010, at that point Boyce and the fast track does little for us. We would be even with all the 2nd year students who started last fall and will...

    you forgot to mention the "or else" with Boyce. OR else=removed from the program if you did not meet the deadline on the 18th. Personally, Allegheny has the books with ISBN's on the online bookstore,...

    Hopefully it will work out, lets be honest with the late notice we got it is very difficult if not impossible to get everything completed by the deadlines they gave. I don't recall seeing AP2...

    dondk replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    really? I was told that you need the titer completed before you can enter clinicals. I thought clinicals do not start immediately, something like 1/2 way into the semester. Regardless, my titer...

    dondk replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sorry, the books vary from campus to campus. From what I am gathering, some have not completed choosing the text's. Rumor is in the next 10 days or so it should be complete. Books also are...
