Yeah I wish you weren't so right about this but I was relatively frustrated with a few of the questions that were obviously re-assessing a specific response two or three times. On the other hand, there's a certain subtle difference between a question...

Got the rejection email today - super awesome Good luck to everyone else.

PICU, Peds, ER

Thanks...apparently I was being a little too impatient.

Did anyone get the assessment email more than once? I received two in quick succession. I filled out one assessment then checked my status and it still said "online assessment pending". So, do you guys no how long it takes for this message to change?...

Santa Clarita by way of sunny Las Vegas. Finally got the em today!...twice.

To use the king's English...are you for reals? I know cedar's is awesome but even UCLA isn't that specific. I wonder if they'd consider the cumm. GPA including pre-nursing/ non-nursing degrees.

Exactly (...and I make my way back into the fray). That's more or less my impression of the current climate, and though I agree with others on this thread that there's a great deal of bs to the BSN (insomuch as the archetypal "Leadership" class), I ...

My reply was deleted and I don't have the will to re-write the whole thing so as to continue our rather tenuous war of 10-dollar words.... I will say that my argument was ceteris paribus and leave it at that. Oh and also your tone is starting to t...

first of all...of course it's about the money - but there's more to it. i'm not using the word professional in such a pedestrian matter. i'm utilizing it to make a distinction between a vocational approach where skills-based education is emphasized a...

Not really. The homework has already been done. Your $100k advantage is predicated upon very specific and (based on current hospital reimbursement trends) unlikely circumstances. If one is young (say 21) and with very little debt and or has the abil...

I found this on Arkansas http://www.bestnursingdegree.com/programs/lpn-to-rn/arkansas/ It seems like a slightly sketchy site based on the name but it's actually pretty up to date on everything and I've used it to search for online NP programs. I can...

I really don't know why ANY BSN program would require an applicant to become an LPN first unless that program was specifically a bridge-type program wherein LPNs/LVNs can earn their RN (ADN) and sit for the NCLEX within a year or so. These programs a...

This really shouldn't be a drawn out answer session but, just for fun, I'll add to the fray: As many said before, assuming you have the ability of time and tuition, go BSN and avoid even thinking about LPN/LVN as an option. There will be LPN/LVN thi...

Yeah not to worry. I received the information simply by being a student here with an administration that is (for the most part) very easy to access. I'm referring to the previous cohort. Those students who graduated this past Spring. The BON NV stati...

I'll be graduating from Touro in Feb. Seeing as how the NCLEX pass rates are currently above 90%, I'm assuming they won't have a problem with admitting an incoming class. That being said the current requirements are definitely more competitive as the...

So basically you have a 3.something GPA and still have to take your TEAS. That pretty much describes the majority of Touro applicants. The TEAS is easier than the PSAT...seriously, but it's very broad (Geology??). I wouldn't worry about that. I'm go...

They're joking right?

the calendar for our cohort says Oct 31st - but you guys, being 1st sem - might be on tuesday or wedneday since that's how we did it last year. I wouldn't expect better clarification until at least Sept on that date good luck :)

Just call once a week until you find out. Sometimes they know but wait to send out a group email or letter.

Hey. I sent you a PM. Could you check it out? Thanks.

Hi, Yes. If you don't plan on working part-time, it's very doable. We've only lost a few students in the cohort since 1st semester. I work an average of only 1 day a week as a CNA and I get by with occasionally difficulty around test times. There a...

Folks, I have to say with regard to Touro. The 2010 NCLEX pass rates are NOT an accurate reflection of the school's ability to educate. One only needs to take a look at some of these http://www.rn.ca.gov/schools/passrates.shtml to see that there are ...

Yes. I'm from Socal. I'll be graduating in Feb. Getting a license in CA is not or, is not, going to be a problem as the NCLEX is the same everywhere and the CA State BON reqs are pretty much no different than say Nevada's; Nevada BON's approval is no...

Current pass rates are at least 90%. It won't go down. I only know of 2 people who haven't passed from the last graduating class. Everything's changed. Most of the issues were leftovers from two cohorts ago. It's not an AWESOME place to be but proba...
