    Heads up on the sweater, if they're still doing "one size fits all" then it is HUGE. And to anyone taking pharm along side nursing, be prepared. You're going to have an exam every week, alternating...

    They'll be assigned to you. 1/2 the semester is acute (hospital) and the other half is long term care. For the most part they try to chose locations close to

    You got the scholarship? I was denied because my "GALLUP score did not fall within the minimum range established" But apparently everyone who is denied gets the same BS response. How convenient for...

    I had 26.?? for spring, which is lower than fall. I would think 27/28ish would be the cutoff. Are all your prerequisites done? 90+ on NLN? volunteer/work experience point? Also, if you're Haitian,...

    I'm not sure how helpful it actually was. Most of it was introductions of people who I'll prolly never see. I'm hoping the first day of class will be better. Tour was kinda worthless, but I was glad...
