  1. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Turabo is accredited by the CCNE. It has a better reputation academically as well. I spoke to one of the Deans in English, over the phone, 6 months ago. All the classes are in Spanish, and it's not...

    Oakley44 replied to femflores1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Their website has contact-us links that you can click on to email them. If you can't get ahold of someone at the admissions office, they will respond pretty well via email. The lady in admissions to...

    Oakley44 replied to femflores1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Wow. That's reedonkulous! I was told I'd be notified WAY before June, via email. I'm planning on visiting the campus late this month so hopefully that's a generalization on their part. Who did you...

    Oakley44 replied to femflores1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    The chem is very basic. I read examples of questions online and had a copy of previous sample tests that I bought at the bookstore - which is WAY too detailed. The truth is the basic math sections are...

    I don't remember there being an gas law questions in my TEAS last year, even though it's on the study guide (ALOT of the study guide was NOT on the TEAS. Broad general knowledge is much more important...

    By emailing them and asking...really. That's what I meant by "electronically". Good

  7. <Information about Touro Nevada>

    Oakley44 replied to femflores1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No it's cool. Another student told me they didn't get an email until mid-April last year. They have very few staff apparently. I'm not worried. I just don't want to bother ------ while she's...

  9. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

  10. <Information about Touro Nevada>

    Oakley44 replied to femflores1's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Really?! It looks ahite to me. My fiancee used to live there. I guess it depends on what you like. It's development is new and growing but it seems to be super cheap which is probably its best...

  11. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    The cost of living in Henderson, NV is only about 50% that of Socal. I don't know when the deadlin for Drexel is/was for this Fall but I can guarantee that my fiancee would not be down with moving to...

  12. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Cool. Yeah their PA program requires O Chem, but not the Acc-BSN program - and I think it's about $32k for the 16months. Drexel ...hahah, I lived in Philly in High school and yeah, well it's probably...

  13. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    that's great. you might want to read some of the more jaded responses on this thread page as well as in the last 3-5 pages to gain an idea of what to expect over the next 6 months. "e" seems to very...

  14. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Touro in Nevada cause it's 16 months, has relatively high pass rates, and is conveniently located to CA and a major airport. I also applied to the Mt. Saint Mary's but it's reedonkulously expensive so...

  15. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    The program in a nutshell, perhaps? It's very much a shame. In my opinion, the concept of private education is to avoid the bureaucracy of the "lowest common denominator" and to ferment competitive...

  16. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I apologize in advance for the following sarcasm Chanel Number 5, but your last post reminded me of a sketch my comedy group did back in college called "Abroad Guy". Where the guy was retelling his...

  17. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I'd say look at the previous feedback in this thread. If you speak Spanish well, call them. You can google the school with a search like "Metro english trimester program" or "iau metro campus" etc.....

  18. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Yeah that's understandible, but what would be super helpful would be for the people like you who actually are IN the program to dose us with a little reality regarding what happens in the application...

  19. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Interesting. Let us all know what happens. The gentleman you refer to is most likely the same person who I have dealt with the past 4 months. I too applied on-line AS WELL as on paper with the same...

  20. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I wish that were true, but I really think it's simply disorganization combined with the fact that even the academic world on the island operates mostly en español. Answering relatively complex sets...

  21. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I understand you pain. I have a similar academic background. My answer to them regarding the "Dean letter" was simply, "I cannot do that." I wrote a page long email to the director of admissions at...

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Oh, Yes and please let us know what you find out about the accredidation from Metro - when they get back to you in 2014. My Dad warned me of the Island's bureaucratic mentality, but I had hoped that...

  24. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    Oakley44 replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    Ok, I'm beyond frustration with this school even though I love the idea of earning my BSN in SJ. I can't begin to describe the difficulty in getting ahold of ANYONE there - with the exception of the...

  25. What stereotypes should I expect?

    Oakley44 replied to vhinrich's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well calling your prospective-self a "male nurse" might be the first one . I believe it also depends a bit on your specialty and geography. Being a male and a nurse in a hospital E.D. in Los Angeles...
