    DYS NP replied to Ashley313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Kriscat, They didn't mention it on the call; they said they'd be mailing an official acceptance letter, and that might have something with it. I hadn't applied for scholarships/aid yet though, but...

    RN ~ BSN @ 55 ?

    DYS NP replied to tjmrn's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Gizmo, I hear you on transcripts. My undergrad was typed manually--couldn't tell you if it was Pica or Elite--so they had to go to some warehouse and dig it out to xerox. Does anyone still say...

    DYS NP replied to Ashley313's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never heard of College Factual, but they seem to use much stronger assessment criteria than USNWR; yet the latter gets all the attention. USNews says they rely 'solely' on faculty opinions to...
