  1. How do you think I'm doing for a Pre-Nursing student???

    Shorty11 replied to keithm101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In all honesty, yes, this transcript does look bad....But as one poster said, you don't have many credit hours so you have time to raise your GPA. My school only allows you to "grade replace" or...

  2. Accredidation

    Shorty11 replied to ddl77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO, accreditation by NLNAC or CCNE are the two you want to look for. Search "accreditation" on this website and you will find many threads/posts about this subject. (this one comes up all the time)...

  3. Miami Dade accelreated vs generic

    Shorty11 replied to yadi87's topic in Florida Nursing

    Shorty11 replied to katherinejoy's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Shorty11 replied to Ashleym9831's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Different schools (may) have different admissions tests requirements. Most schools list the test(s) they required for admission on their website. If not, call the school and talk to an advisor. Once...

  8. How exactly does a BSN program work?

    Shorty11 replied to AlexisNicole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shorty11 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

  11. Accredited or not Accredited ?

    Shorty11 replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    I personally would stay away from any school that is NOT accredited! I only looked at schools that were accredited By NLNAC or CCNE. The National League of Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC)...

    Shorty11 replied to FutureRNLosAngeles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After I finished my prereqs, I took co-reqs also. I took developmental psychology and nursing statistics. At my university (BSN program), those classes are required co-reqs. They dont have to be...

    Shorty11 replied to mab066's topic in Texas Nursing

  15. Why is it all so difficult?

    Shorty11 replied to K3ndraR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not to sound too harsh, but if you don't like science, then nursing may not be for you. Part of the reason I decided to go to nursing school is because I have a passion for science! The science part...

  16. Social life of a nursing major?

    Shorty11 replied to futurenurse97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. phentermine/drug test

    Shorty11 replied to pacific23's topic in General Nursing

    I googled it for you and the general consensus seems to be that phentermine should be out of your system within 2-4 days following a single use. So you probably will be fine. I know you are already...

  18. what if you already have a B.S?

    Shorty11 replied to laurie121's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was what my school called "TEAS exempt." My school does require the TEAS for admission, but since I already held a Bachelors Degree they did not require me to take the TEAS to be accepted into the...

  19. Q!!!!!! about UTHSC

    Shorty11 replied to HoneyBug0112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just noticed you wrote UTHSC, instead of UNTHSC. Silly me! Sorry about that. In that case, I take it that you are refferring to The University of Tennessee Health Science Center, which does have a...

    Shorty11 replied to HoneyBug0112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm assuming that you are referring to University of North Texas Health Science Center. My sister graduated with her PhD from there. As far as I know, UNTHSC doesn't have a Nursing Program. I could be...

  22. Heart sounds with large breasts

    Shorty11 replied to tsm007's topic in General Students

  24. what if you already have a B.S?

    Shorty11 replied to laurie121's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
