  1. Program retention rates question

    jtboog2003 replied to DegreeOrBust's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a very interesting question because here in Philadelphia there are schools that have high NCLEX pass rates but that is because you are required to take an exit exam, and get a rather high...

  3. Villanova - PLEASE ANSWER

    jtboog2003 replied to al_e135's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  4. Discouraged after speaking to a counselor

    jtboog2003 replied to DenisseG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know your school or your counselor, but it's been my experience that counselors don't really know too much regarding other programs unless it's at their own school. I can't tell you how many...

  5. Like many others, concerned that I am not a qualified applicant for nursing programs.

    jtboog2003 replied to Compassion4Others's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Retaking Physiology and accept an F?

    jtboog2003 replied to Jade8626's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not about the transfer credit below a C being accepted. But schools look at your cumulative average, which means all classes ever taken at any accredited college or university. Any class taken,...

  7. Why do people rent text books?

    jtboog2003 replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jtboog2003 replied to iwanttobeanurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At Gwynedd Mercy no matter how many courses you transfer you basically start out as a freshman once you transfer there. No exceptions. So you can do a year somewhere else, and transfer to Gwynned...

  9. Why do people rent text books?

    jtboog2003 replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Saysfaa, I never would rent at my school bokstore. They jack up the prices, I see why you believe it costs as much to rent as it would to buy used because at a college bookstore I'm sure it would cost...

  10. Why do people rent text books?

    jtboog2003 replied to Saysfaa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like to rent because for pre-req classes like Psych and Art and things like that, I don't care about keeping the textbook. So by renting, I can use the book and then don't have to worry about...

  11. Has anyone taken CNA class while taking 3 prerequsite's?

    jtboog2003 replied to ncbutterfly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I have taken four classes and a CNA course. To me the course was common sense and wasn't difficult at all, but I don't know how you will do. If you feel as if you can handle it go for it, if not...

    jtboog2003 replied to oklahomagal's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, pass rates are important and all, but ultimately it's up to the individual what you get out of a program. I know people who went to schools with great programs and pass rates, and failed the...

    jtboog2003 replied to cookie_monster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jtboog2003 replied to Latin Student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. dream school or parents dream school?

    jtboog2003 replied to lovelikeamber's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jtboog2003 replied to babyluvy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on the school. Some schools may not mind if you take it later on and do well. While some may not want to see any withdrawals. Ask the schools you want to apply to about their policy...

  23. Is it fair to have a take home mutiple choice exam for A&P1?

    jtboog2003 replied to Copperismydog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If it's a take home exam why would anyone need to cheat off of each other? You can look in the textbook, the internet, all over, you don't need to copy off of other classmates. On another note, I have...
