Yes you can. As long as you pass the NCLEX and the Metro program is still accredited (which it will be) then you can work in any state/territory including Florida; even Guam, Marianas Islands, St. Thomas/John/Croix, and PR itself There are a plethora...

You can take the NCLEX after completing all the ADN level classes - which I think about a year (just after the Peds rotation). Then continue on to finish the BSN classes at Metro campus or...I suppose, transfer to a school in another state. It's kind...

Yeah sorry everyone...it's true. The pass rate was really bad last year new and they aren't gonna be able to admit new students until at least this fall after the march class gets better results in the boards. Our was just as surprising to us !! Now...

I like it overall. The professors don't communicate well with the admin. and vice versa so the beginning seems rather disorganized but the quality of teaching is pretty solid. It's pretty much 8-9am in the morning until early to mid afternoon Mon-Fri...

Hey, I've been lurking on this thread since 2008 but yeah, as far as I know the NCLEX is standardized nationally - same questions WHEREVER you go. I believe the CT thing is regarding working as an LVN. There's an NCLEX site in San Juan. I called them...

November....as in starting in Spring '11? If so...best of luck. I'm 1st semester and we're going on week 7 now. It's been up and down but overall, the program is accessible with pretty good professors.

There's the same. Metro is a campus of Interamerican University of PR. Read some of the posts about 20 pages back to get a better idea. Good luck.

FYI, There hasn't been new additions to the class via email for about a week. Still....Good luck.

Yes folks, The official incoming class received emails from "G" yesterday. Congrats to those who've still been waiting to hear. There was about 30 people give or take. Good luck.

Exactly. Go ask Enzo Ferrari if he considered driving to be "slave's work". The bottom line is that no society needs to dictate what half the population should or shouldn't do at the other half's whim; Happens all the time but that doesn't make it a...

Taxi. They'll know where it is.

Haha. I got my acceptance letter 3 days AFTER the first orientation meeting a while back. Still wish the Mrs. and I could move down there but I already sent my acceptance response elsewhere. Keep updating the thread once your semester starts. I thi...

Once again this guy (JacobK) is right on the nose. The truth is that I think you all will have no problem getting in but they will continue to string people out until very end of the month. It's like the Mt. St. Mary's program here in LA. It literall...

See above ...

What he said. I second this a gabillion times. Good luck everyone else. This school is/seems more than competent but they're also private and want our $. So keep trying.

Congratulations to the people already accepted . I will be attending in Nov as well and will be moving sometime in Oct. I find going on Google maps in Vegas and typing apartments for rent helps. My wife used to live in Henderson a while back and is ...

Wow, A lot happens in 6 weeks. Congratulations to those attending later this Summer. I got my letter a couple weeks back. I had finally gotten a hold of someone who didn't mind emailing me back at the school (initials G.D. in the financial aid offic...

It's not that I'm trying to rain on the parade here. It's just that I don't know of any schools that have done that. I've heard many stories of schools losing their accreditation but not losing it and getting it back the following year. Let's just ho...

Yeah, I guess employees of NLNAC can't exactly give you hints - That was a total boiler-plate response. What does continually monitoring mean? Secret agents or just strongly worded emails?

They were probably referring to the pass rate for the CRNA examination and not the NCLEX. I emailed "E" today and plan on calling him 11am P.R. time tomorrow to ask him about the applications/pass rate.

Exactly.

Why not? The NLNAC has to maintain rigid ever-expanding accreditation authority in order to remain legitimate - and also compete with the CCNE. If a student that actually GOES there doesn't really have faith in the program then that should say someth...

A scooter is kinda a death wish in San Juan. I mean, fun sure, but I live in LA and we drive rather tepidly compared to the locals in SJ.

Make sure you send it priority mail or certified and also call "E" in the English Trimester office to ask him to look out for it, if you can. I really wanted to go to this school until a. The whole island time thing? It's complete horse manure. I kn...
