CMartin, a CLEP test lets you get credits for simply taking a test. Look it up. Saves a lot of time and money. You can take many of the 101's. College Level Examination Program.

Do you strike a Director of Nursing as someone likely to kill a patient or panic when someone codes? This is still blue collar work and the interviewer wants to see if you're a competent individual. Practice interviewing. Why did you choose nursing? ...

Thanks. And yes that's what I meant. The BSN program wasn't available previously and the school never offered a degree, only a diploma.

No bachelors at this school yet. I have heard they will be phasing out the associates though and making it a bachelors program in the future. No NURE courses in the summer for a couple years now. They did a NURE 130 summer but it was once and not sin...

Freckles, this may be too late a response but yes it is possible. We had 210 in our entry class and 70 pass at the end. Any good program will have many people fail. A school in Staten Island had 30 entrants and only 2 pass recently. Trinitas does not...

The more details you can give, the better. I'll talk to *** and see if the process has changed. Thanks for this update.

don't worry about the classes being filled in the computer system. i doubt the classes have even been opened in the computer system. no one can register except in person, by invitation and with the invitation letter in hand. sounds like you're on the...

did you get an invitation letter? the process is 1. a consideration letter to which you respond, expressing your interest 2. an invitation letter on which there will be a specific date to register. i don't think the spring registration happened yet. ...

****** at the Elizabeth campus would know.

There are two books. Nursing Fundamentals by Potter and Perry Edition 10 and Medical Terminology though I don't remember which edition. These were the ones I got but you may have a different edition for both so ask the book store people. If you tell ...

it's tough, especially with kids. parents had the toughest time of all. if you can do non-science courses in the summer and take regular session science courses you might find it easier with the kids. i would'nt do that in the summer but in a regu...

Also, I took ***** summer 1 microbiology (BIO 108) course. *** was the Lab prof. Don't know my grade because UCC's IT department consists of a bunch of encephalic crack babies. I have to physically go down there to ask a counselor what my grade is. ...

Also, Christy, about how long do you think it will take to get your MSN?

Thanks, Christy, for being so specific. I would like to encourage any other WGU students to write a more thorough description of their experience including dates and time lines, fees, counselors, books, tests and all the other things that other stud...

Remember, the UCC to Trinitas acceptance system will only give you points for courses you took at UCC.

Our school will not accept you in unless nursing is your major. You cannot be considered regardless of the classes you take. Keeping nursing as the major costs more so some students wait to change the major. I didn't wait since I wanted to always be ...

i think you'll be okay. i deal with my slight claustrophobia by ignoring it and moving on. take a deep breath, and mentally suck it up. it might help you to watch surgery shows to desensitize you to it. maybe you can visit a slaughter house or watch ...

Everyone wainting on any competitive medical program feels this way at some point. 6 months will be over in a flash. Just keep your face pressed against the glass. They'll let you in.

Your GPA will rise if you take a couple of the Chem courses required for the BSN. Better yet, take a couple of electives. They should be easier, and wil be required also. As far as I can tell, anyone with a BS is more likley to get in to a BSN progra...

New Jersey has closed 13 hospitals in the last 4 years so there are a lot of nurses in this (the NYC metro) area. New ASN's aren't getting hired as quickly if there are 10 year BSN's around and there are. But all 60 nurses in my school's last graduat...

BTW:I like Pimsleur too. It was a nice way to simulate conversations. But it's expensive and unnecessary. Do people with expensive treadmills in their house run more that people who don't? No.

i'm a white american guy who learned spanish and then portuguese. i've seen the rosetta stone software and i can't see how it can teach you a language. rosetta stone is good at marketing, not teaching a language as far as i can see. i took one colleg...
