I was accepted to a local Community College RN program, and today was the orientation. Only 10 students were there, apparently we were the early acceptance group as no other students had been notified as of yet. We were all called on Friday, informed...

Its a tough situation, and many people don't realize the hole they're putting themselves in. Especially after the bankruptcy reforms of 2005 these private lenders are/were giving out student loan money like it was candy. They know people have no chan...

my wife laughs at how I am with my pens...I'm very picky about using Pilot G2's, and when people ask to borrow my pen I get kind of defensive...lol, its a sickness

Pilot G2...best...pens...ever. .07's for index cards and I use the .05's for notes, etc...

Hey Lisa, thanks for offering to give a little insight into the program. I know I have a few questions for you off the bat, and I'm sure plenty more to come, but here are a couple to start: -did anyone find any scholarship/grants in your class? -kin...

I'm not yet in my BSN program yet but when I was flying most people, including myself, rocked a sub-$20 timex. Not saying many of us didn't have some really nice watches but nobody would wear those to work. The Timex was inexpensive, lots of function...

is that a normal route for people? I've heard that at the school I will be attending that those who applied for Pharm but got rejected often end up in the RN program, but I haven't heard of people going RN then Pharm. any input on that?

cool, thanx

I know there was one thread but it has seemed to gone dead...so, anyone hear back from SUNY@Buffalo for the ABS program? Been contacted? Had an interview? Anything?

thats hilarious, lol

CONGRATS! that's so awesome, equally excited over here! Anyone else??? check your email!

well, just received the news that I was accepted into my program of first choice! I started this thread based on the really bad experience I had during the orientation from my second choice school. First choice was SUNY@Buffalo ABS (accelerated) prog...

GOT ACCEPTED! Recieved an email this afternoon letting me know I was accepted and that official letters/packets would be sent in January...anyone else hear anything???

Last Spring I took: API (lec and lab), Micro (lec and lab), Statistics, Nutrition, and Pathophysiology all at once...and having done all of it together I'd say that I agree with the earlier poster who said AP and Micro kind of overlap in places. To m...

the school I was accepted to has supposedly changed its way of picking students for the program. It use to be purely grades and NET test, now that has all changed. They made it sound like they wanted a little more latitude when trying to pick student...

thats what I'm trying to say, makes no sense. maybe a 4.0 in a particular semester, maybe a 4.0 in your program, but not a 4.0 overall if you have anything other than ALL A's, in EVERY class. not to be a jerk, but maybe you're getting rejections for ...

okay, thanks. I wasn't trying to be a jerk or put the girl on the spot. Its just not a good idea to go around saying you have a 4.0 when you don't. Imagine filling out an application that asks for GPA and you misrepresent yourself by saying you have ...

its not in Texas but Cayuga Community College in New York has an online Pharm for Nurses class that does not require you to be enrolled in any other program. Call, sign up, pay, take the class type deal.

even if you had 30 A's and one B its a 3.97...thats a 3.97, not a 4.0. you can never have a 4.0 unless you have all A's. you see my confusion with what you're saying? anyone want to jump in and correct my thinking, please?

I am also waiting anxiously, hopefully we both get good news sooner than later! I haven't had any contact with them besides a similar question to Krisite asking when they would send out letters. good luck, post if you hear anything! -Mark

Obviously the title is meant to have a little humor to it, but after today I'm questioning that. I had orientation for a Community College RN program and the instructors were VERY unprofessional. It was 2 1/2 hours of them huffing and puffing like 6 ...

I'm with the flash card people on this. You've got to know how to study in a way that works for you, period. For me it was flash cards. Its also a skill to know how to make flash cards, I like to keep them simple. Some people will put paragraphs of i...

I'm confused, I'm really not trying to be a jerk I'm just trying to understand: how do you get a 4.0 having had a B(3.0) in any one class? That B will forever keep you from having a 4.0, right?

I'm going to be professional, I don't know how not to be. I also think that with all the "career changers" with similar mindsets, in terms of professionalism, might just enact the change you speak about Tabitha.
