  1. Recently Accepted into Nursing School! Answer my Questions?

    Gradius replied to joel.mercado's topic in Male Nursing Students

    1. Read the thread "Male Student Dillemma" currently on this Male Nursing Student thread and see what people have written. I read what you wrote in your #1 and think "good god that is such a teenage...

  2. UNF Accelerated BSN Summer 2013

    Gradius replied to kristinhope's topic in Florida Nursing

    I don't know the answer to your Interview score question Kristin but I will still say hello to you and anyone who joins this thread. A little about me, my prereqs have been done as of May 2012; prereq...

  3. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    Gradius replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey all... I meant to comment on this about 2 weeks ago... I wanted to write something inspirational as my final post to this thread along with my appeal update but alas I never got around to that...

  4. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    Gradius replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    -Your stats sound nearly identical to mine... I have a cumulative GPA of around 3.4 and prereq GPA of 3.85 I think. -I haven't done the TEAS yet either, taking it early December, (looking at 12/7)...

  5. Took the TEAS the second time....

    Gradius replied to avianale's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Good to hear, I ordered that book from Amazon and it will be here this week!

  6. CNA to BSN - how to get into a good college in SF Bay Area

    Gradius replied to lakent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Instead of wasting your money on a private college for the same degree you could get from a state university, if you can't get into one of those, try an ASN program first at your local CC, or try LPN...

  7. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    Gradius replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh crap, Chemistry. That wasn't an exciting class from what I recall. :\ I did just find these though... maybe I'll buy one: Nearly 200 pages for $10 is not bad: CliffsNotes Chemistry Quick Review...

  8. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    Gradius replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Can you share anything helpful about the TEAS? I need to take it for the first time, in December chances are. I recently bought this book for a math refresher (fantastic reviews): CliffsNotes Math...

  9. Is it easier for men to get into a nursing program?

    Gradius replied to erv1994's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Here's how I see it. Officially, Nursing schools will tell you no because it's discriminatory. But unofficially yes... e.g. say you apply for an ABSN program with a prior Bachelors in Electrical...

  10. Hillsborough Community College RN program fall 2013

    Gradius replied to hallberry's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey Hallberry, one idea I suggested over at the Spring 2013 HCC thread which was very well received was to make a poll specifying who is applying for what times, to give everyone on this thread an...

  11. Roll Call-November 2012 LPN Program at Galen College in Tampa

    Gradius replied to KKJA8855's topic in Florida Nursing

    Well then I can only offer 3 comments. a) I'm intrigued by why you are "running out of time..." however you don't have to share if you don't want, whether it be here or a PM to me. I'm guessing...

  12. Roll Call-November 2012 LPN Program at Galen College in Tampa

    Gradius replied to KKJA8855's topic in Florida Nursing

    KKJA8855... I've never met you nor do I know your real name, but based on our interactions on the HCC Spring 2013 board, I indirectly think of you as a friend already. And as your friend I want to...

  13. Hillsborough Community College RN program fall 2013

    Gradius replied to hallberry's topic in Florida Nursing

    Verify that HCC has your HS Transcript on file on Hawknet, or anywhere else you can verify it. Call whoever you have to (e.g. Registrar's Office). If you need to send them another hard copy of your...

  14. Hillsborough Community College RN program fall 2013

    Gradius replied to hallberry's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, but mine was from 1999 (I'm old!) so I had to go to my county school board's archive. I am not a native HCC student (I live in Orlando right now) so I mailed hard copies of all of my school...

  15. A "dating female students in your class" post

    Gradius replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    When girls actually get some spunk and make the first move I find it soooo flattering and awesome, really wish more did it, this is not the 50s anymore. However I concur with your decision to not...

  16. Hillsborough Community College RN program fall 2013

    Gradius replied to hallberry's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey all... I'm a "friend" of KKJA8855's over from the Spring 2013 thread. We just got our letters recently. I was denied due to a transcript issue that has NOTHING related to HCC prereqs. Pretty...

  17. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    Gradius replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Can anyone give me some background on the Plant City campus. That's closest to me and I have to go to building 100 by next Friday if I am to appeal. Any info you can give would be great.

  18. UCF Accelerated BSN 2013

    Gradius replied to ucfsn14's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oops, now I see someone else already started a UCF ABSN 2013 thread. See you

  19. UCF 2013 Accelerated BSN

    Gradius replied to Nursowiczka2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi all, I recently just got denied to an ASN program in Tampa, not to GPA (had a 3.52 prereq GPA with them which based on previous AN threads is an accepted-level GPA at that school) but due to a...

  20. UCF Accelerated BSN 2013

    Gradius replied to ucfsn14's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hi Lexi, I recently just got denied to an ASN program in Tampa, not to GPA but due to a missing AP/CLEP transcript whose credits aren't even considered Prereqs there. Really, really silly. I plan to...

  21. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    Gradius replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Now my challenge is going to see if CLEP and AP can have my 10+ year old scores in my hands before the week is over. 11 days is cutting it close for a 9/28 deadline. I'll be calling AP/CLEP tomorrow,...

  22. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    Gradius replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thank you for the well wishes Moneek and Rachanee... it's just really funny to me that my 6 credits in American History (AP) and 3 credits in National Government (CLEP) are the reason I'm being...

  23. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    Gradius replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Denied. No, not to GPA. "Official sealed AP and CLEP scores, listed on University of Central Florida transcript, has not been received." What's disturbing to me is that NONE of my HCC prereqs are...

  24. Hillsborough Community College Spring 2013

    Gradius replied to Rachanee's topic in Florida Nursing

    Welcome, first off. Second... we can do that? I know after Semester 1 I think I read we are CNA eligible, but we're LPN eligible after Semester 2? Is that what you're

  25. A "dating female students in your class" post

    Gradius replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Good to know you were one of the "good" girls in class. By good of course I mean someone that didn't break up with said guy prior to graduation which in turn probably would have made it very awkward...
