Jen_Jen, one other question, do you know when school starts in January like around what date..not anything specific or anything. Also, I got a paper with dates for this semester and it says finals are from 13-16, that lands on a tuesday, what if you...

Just be achy nurse, do you know if california considers Puerto Rico as international?

I have my bachelor's degree already so I won't be getting any grants. Well at least I won't feel as bad if I have to take out both, which I think they will be giving me. And I will continue to call, I just called them today. thanks again for all your...

thanks jen_jen I did that already. I was told that its going to take some time. I didn't want to take the loans where interest accumulates while in school (subsidized, I think), but I think I may have to because I can only get 3,500 as a first year s...

Jen, Did you talk to the person in charge of evaluating your transcripts? I hope it doesn't take that long..Im trying to get more in loans and because Im a first year in the system..I can't.

in my experience, admissions was very helpful. I also saw other students being helped by other people, I'm not sure what you are referring to. Again, it does suck that you couldn't talk to her, but I'm sure others are just as competent.

nycgirl, yea you definitely needed to have spoken with the director before going to visit. Im sorry that it wasn't what you expected. are you back from Puerto Rico already? Id suggest leaving your documents with admissions and if you decide to move,...

dz, have you spoken to the real estate agent lately?

yes I have. You can take the nclex in any state you reside, its not an issue at all. I am learning though that some states consider Puerto Rico as international, so some have gone through Wisconsin.

did you decide what school you're going to?

I have received an acceptance letter for Umet. The process was not difficult at all, just have the pre-reqs done and a 2.5 gap.

Did anyone or will anyone be moving with a pet? what was that experience like and were you able to find an apartment with a pet? what about the plane ride, was your pet ok? any advice would be really helpful.

so, I found out today that Puerto Rico has restrictions on cats coming in. The rabies vaccine must be at least 6 months past and she's never had a rabies vaccine, so we can't take her with us, at least not for now. I am kind of sad about it, I hope s...

thank you caroladybelle, I have been in touch with my airline. Southwest does not require a health certificate, only pay a fee and she has to go in an airline approved carrier. I am just worried about how she will take it on the plane as she has nev...

adorno even if it is horrible, at the moment the reality is that we cannot afford to buy a car and my car is too old to ship to pr. So for now, we will have to deal with not having a car, maybe after the xmas break we can afford one. What is the aver...

I will be moving with a cat. I just wasnt sure if it was a good idea as fas as the cat goes, like if she will be ok during the flight and I am still a little worried about finding an apartment. Well, wish me luck. oh, and yes I have read that cats ca...

jen_jen, I have heard that bayamon is not a safe city to live in, but I dont think I can afford to buy a car at least when i get there, what is your experience with bayamon and if i dont live there, where else would you recommend living without a car...

i was really impressed with umet and their labs as well as with the way that they are supportive towards the students. The director of nursing gave me a tour and also set my schedule. hope this helps!

also, forgot to ask is it possible to finish in 2 years? what about a year and a half?

jen-jen, how do i register for classes, do i have to go back to dr fruge? also, how long did it take you to finish the program?

ok, thanks jen-jen

add on classes for august- oct or oct-dec?

jen jen was the two classes enough? I am starting in August and have 3 classes for August- October and then i think 1 class for oct-dec but im going to add general eds, is that too much? enough, not enough?

hi, I am starting in August i have already been accepted into the program and have my classes already! I went in March and took my transcripts, you can register for classes up until the day before the 1st day of classes which is August 20. I will be...

yes you can take them before you get to the school, at least at umet but history of puerto rico is hard to find at most community colleges, and yes you can also take them at the school with all your other classes
