Hello all, I just received my L&D Resident offer and start next week! I am hitting the books hard to brush up on assessment and emergency protocols. I have also looked through a lot of threads here for what I should know as a new grad/new L&...

All Nurses has been my go-to resource from pre-nursing, through school, and so now I am throwing this out there in hopes of getting some good feedback. I'm a new RN working in pediatric home care just shy of 3 months. Before I ever pursued nursing,...

This formatted a little weird, but you get the idea. :-)

Does anyone know how many spots are available for the residencies? I am applying to all things Mother/Baby related. I am curious how many applications they get compared to how many positions they have available. My application says "Under Consider...

I just submitted my application today! Does anyone know the timeline for the application process...when they close the application, when they start making calls, etc.?

That message got edited in a weird way. Anyone starting at La Inter, I'm interested to talk to you! Time to get things done in the financial aid office, figure out housing, etc., etc.! Much to do...

Hey all! I am landing in PR on Sunday. I am interested in talking with. You can private messge me. Take care! Kelly

For those of you starting the accelerated program at La Inter this August, what have you been told in terms of registration, orientation, and anything else that needs to be done before classes start? I am getting contradictory information about when...

Yeah I know it is not a for sure thing. I am taking a Basic Concepts class online right now, so hopefully they'll accept that. It's weird to tell people that I am moving down there probably/maybe/hopefully for school, but starting in August just wa...

Hey all, Curious if there is any word on the new director starting at La Inter? I am still planning on coming down to start in November, if under somewhat tenuous circumstances.

hey worldtravelingyogi, thanks for your reply. i am going to go speak with the assistant director or director once more on monday before i fly home. she didn't seem very excited about me wanting to change my start date, so i think it will take some...

Hey all, So I am in PR now and visited/applied to La Inter this week. What I am wondering is this: I want to do the Accelerated BSN and I want to start in November instead of August. I have a previous BA, all my credits transferred so that I don't ...

hihopes22, I haven't quite made the minimum # of posts to PM someone...if you PM me your email (is that weird?), I can get in touch. Or I'll keep posting things until I can use that private message feature! I get into town on Tuesday and be explori...

Alright...I'm arriving in San Juan this Tuesday and on the island until April 2nd. I plan to visit La Inter and U Met and apply/register. Any tips for navigating the schools? Head straight to the English Trimester program folks? Anyone in San Jua...

If you go in late March, let me know! We could do some investigating together. I will be there the 20th to April 3rd. Kelly

Right now it sounds like I will have one or two adventurous friends moving down there with me, so I will hopefully have cheap rent. I have a Bachelor's degree already, so I'm not elligible for grants but the loans will at least take care of tuition....

snowshyne, Have you gotten any info on how folks are making it work in the financial arena? I am just trying to get a sense of how to prepare for moving down there! Being a full time student and not working and running out of money is not fun! I d...

I'm curious if anyone can tell me how they are supporting themselves while doing this program? It sounds like after your tuition is covered, there is some--but not a lot--of money left over for living expenses. If I stayed where I'm at (Seattle) th...

I think the November date is something you have to ask for specifically. And that some people at the school will tell you that you can't start then, but that you actually can.

Well I guess I've thought more about La Inter because there is more info on this thread about it. I want to work through summer and save money until I move down, so I would like to do the November start date I've heard people talk about. I don't ev...

Hi all! I posted here a while ago and am showing up again now that the application process is becoming more real. I plan on visiting PR in March to check things out. Does anyone know if UMet or LaInter require letters of recommendation? I have re...

So I've been reading through the posts on this thread for a while...what a wealth of information! I am planning on applying for the accelerated BSN next year, starting in November. My main question now is about money for living expenses, since it s...

I am hoping some folks may have some insight on a question I have. I am will be entering an accelerated nurse-midwifery program next year, and I would like to get some experience outside of a hospital environment. I have been trained as a birth and...
