  1. WGU RN-BSN prereq question

    nickasarbata replied to Nurseades2b's topic in Western Governors University

  2. Austin community college nursing program: what to expect

    nickasarbata replied to Mindy679's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'll also chime in. I'm also graduating in December. In my experience, one thing I would have liked to know is that the calendars are hugely deceptive. Our calendars (especially in level 1) would...

    nickasarbata replied to lejpej's topic in Texas Nursing

  7. ACC Spring 2013 hopefuls

    nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    It is pretty overwhelming to take all three, but it can be done. I did all three plus human g&d and still got all A's. Things are different now - perfect grades are no longer enough, reapplication...

    nickasarbata replied to lw7789's topic in Texas Nursing

    We don't have rankings until we get the letters (and even then I don't know if they "rank" the people who actually get in. Last time when I didn't get in I had 56 points and was ranked 167). This...

    nickasarbata replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    Didn't get in, y'all. Perfect points definitely aren't good enough. I did all pre- and co-requisites in two semesters with perfect grades, and it wasn't enough. My rank was 167 out of 478. I'm...

    nickasarbata replied to tnAustin's topic in Texas Nursing

    nickasarbata replied to missie1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    nickasarbata replied to nickasarbata's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I confirmed that the course I'm taking is accepted where I'm moving before I started, so that's not a problem. And I wasn't told that any of this would be a problem when I registered. I was told the...
