if you haven't taken pharm yet, then yes, it is mandatory to take first semester. however, if you fail, you have summer to retake it and continue onto 2nd semester in the fall.

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 pharm and nursing. If you have to sacrifice one, pu...

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.

A few things I can think of: Prepare for chaos for the first few weeks, especially front loading. The professors are quite unorganized and schedules changed, students didn't know where they were supposed to go, and it was just confusing. Considering ...

I'm starting 2nd semester this fall. I don't remember the price of my books, but I do remember the weight. 36 pounds! Let me advise you to get your books online at Amazon or similar. I've always done this with my classes and can get a brand new book ...

are your transcripts from different schools? that was my first thought. or are any of the classes from this spring? maybe those are going through the system slowly.

that's the big secret! They don't tell you! It's basically a personally test where they say "I am a perfectionist" and then you chose "not like me" "sorta like me" "very much like me" It's a pain the ass. And to PurpleVega; I think that's a bit stran...

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 them that the GALLUP score isn't released to applica...

If I needed to take 500mg of Tylenol, and they came in 250mg tablets, how many tablets do I need to take? Yes, I am serious. Most of the questions on the first procalc are like that. Just go over the equivalents chart that is provided on the procalc ...

I'm stuck in this area and there aren't too many nursing school choices. Even tho I applied to PBCC and FAU I chose PBCC because I found out that I was accepted there about 5 months before FAU sends out letters. Therefore I was able to start nursing ...

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, make sure to let them know. They have some program fo...

PBCC is a lot easier to get into, plus they provide a point system so you know EXACTLY where you stand compared to other people, if they share their points. I was accepted to both PBCC and FAU, but since I'm already in PBCC's program I'm just stickin...

The syllabi are here: http://www.pbcc.edu/x5768.xml and I warn you, they're really long. and do we need the uniform then? I thought we didn't need it until the following Monday

I'm sorry, but a facts a fact. The National Center for Education Statistics "found that in 2001, the number of students age 35 and older in degree-granting institutions was 19.2%." The Department of Education's website sta...

Are you saying I'm wrong? Can you honestly tell me that the majority of students were under 35?

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 to take a peek at the skills lab. I did LOVE the ra...

got my nursemates today (Dove). they're pretty comfortable. I wore them around for several hours. They have a bit of a heel and firm heel support (and maybe low arches?), but I think after wearing them a bit more I will be used to them. in terms of l...

to cprincess: if your doc didn't say anything when you went in for your physical, then you should be fine on immunizations. for lexi: that bit about the packet is confusing. whoever wrote it sure wasn't thinking right. since the background and drug a...

I bought a raspberry colored Littman (classic II??) for about 60 online. There is no mention of color in the info packet we got. It should arrive later this week along with my shoes. Hope they both work out.

I had all my vaccinations done years ago. for shoes, I actually got them from target.com I got the nursemates Dove. I had trouble finding all white shoes that aren't hideous and look comfortable, so hopefully these work out.

you needed vaccines? I just had to get the PPD and bloodwork to confirm I had chickenpox since I never had the varivax. I'm waiting on my stethoscope and shoes to arrive. Hopefully next week I can test them out!

alright. well here is my 15th post.

I tried to email you but it bounced back because of "unknown FAU recipient"

I had 26.42 or something. I believe the cutoff was 25.something. make sure you pre and co requisites are COMPLETED before applying. I am currently taking micro so it will be finished by Jan, but I didn't get points for it because it's not completed, ...

NMS wasn't bad. They require a good amount of urine, so make sure your bladder is full! But it's a nice looking place, not sketchy. Copy's was cheaper than I thought it would be. I decided to get my stethoscope elsewhere, so I still have to get that....
