  1. Dade Medical college?!!

    Psata replied to sayitaintso's topic in Florida Nursing

    Despite a gazillion of warnings, students continue to flock to these unaccredited institutions whose sole purpose is to rip-off the federal government (subsidized loans, Pell Grants, etc.) and...

  2. Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Psata replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A fact that most fail to comprehend. A large number of tertiary institutions grant extra points for incoming freshman due to "legacy", the mere fact that a parent/parents graduated from that...

  3. Jacksonville U. vs U.of Phoenix

    Psata replied to prplRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Is there any reason why you are looking at Online only option? Online Programs are convenient, but the quality of the education process at a lot of Online Institutions are questionable. I would...

  4. Struggling at a four year

    Psata replied to AbbyJones's topic in General Students

    Could you tell us what is your out-of-pocket tuition cost is? Do you HAVE to work? Are you commuting (from home) to the 4-year University or live on campus? Is this a For-Profit University? Maybe,...

  5. what to do while waiting

    Psata replied to amazinga921's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is this a BSN or ADN Program that you have been wait listed for? If an ADN, you could continue doing other BSN Prerequisites. Any reason why you haven't applied to other Nursing Programs, instead of...

  6. Nursing vs. Dentistry vs. Optometry vs. ???

    Psata replied to sophia33's topic in General Students

    Are you nearing the end of your Freshman, Sophomore or Junior in College at the moment? How many credits have you completed so far and how many credits are required to graduate? What is your...

  7. Medical school after nursing school ?

    Psata replied to Harlee92's topic in General Students

    I disagree with the statement that pursuing a undergraduate degree in Nursing is "worst round about way to become a doctor". Many premed students do their undergraduate degree in one of the...

  8. West Coast University - BSN Program

    Psata replied to Anonymous83's topic in California Nursing

    @ShondaJ appears to be either a major Stock Holder of the For Profit School or one of their unofficial recruiter. She tends to pop up out of the blue at the mere mention of the name West Coast...

  9. Hunter College Nursing Honors Program

    Psata replied to DakotaSecondino's topic in New York Nursing

    ..................which means I would start my nursing courses as a freshman. Are you sure of the above? I thought that as part of the Generic Nursing Program, ALL students start their Nursing...

  10. West Coast University - BSN Program

    Psata replied to Anonymous83's topic in California Nursing

    Someone needs to protect you from yourself. First, you started out at Dade Medical College and for some reason, realizing that they were a fraud, went on to University of Southermost Florida (same...

  11. The Wait for Community College Nursing Program -_-

    Psata replied to MarquieshaH's topic in General Students

    Your original post was slightly confusing. Are you saying that you have NOT taken the Nursing Prerequisite classes as of yet? It seems to me that you are getting ahead of yourself. If I was in your...

  12. Dade Medical College

    Psata replied to nurseangelique's topic in Florida Nursing

    How can an individual complete Science Prerequisites in two weeks? Why does the Florida BON allow these schools to exist? With such poor standards, how could any of their students even pass the...

  13. Professors who don't make their own tests...

    Psata replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @dc1994 Not only do "most" undergraduate Professors use questions from Questions Banks, they recycle most of their test questions. That is why students try to get past exams from students who have...

  14. How to pay for school?

    Psata replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You did say they were faking grades, among other things. That alone would raise some red flags in a lot of people's mind about the authenticity and capabilities of the graduates from this...

  15. West coast university help!!!!!!

    Psata replied to leitha's topic in LPN to RN

    I just stringed a bunch of your comments together to highlight how dangerous For-Profit Universities can be and specifically, one of the most expensive of them all, WCU. Based on your own accounts...

  16. Transcript on hold

    Psata replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But they do know about the Fall and Spring Semester Courses you did at the University, since they have a copy of that transcript. There are gaps in your education which will lead them to ask for an...

  17. How to pay for school?

    Psata replied to nickimarie93's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OP, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you attending Prism Career Institute, where I think the Tuition for the LPN program is $24,990!! Do you think this is the best option for you, given that...

  18. Transcript on hold

    Psata replied to studentih's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The OP is being disingenuous in what she has written. According to her timeline, she graduated High School in 2009 and went away to University from Fall 2009 to Spring 2010. She then returned home...

  19. West coast university help!!!!!!

    Psata replied to leitha's topic in LPN to RN

    It is easy access to Federally-backed student loans and other form of college loans why individuals like Leitha can approach such a High Tuition Institution. Schools such as WCU will eventually bring...

  20. Private ABSN vs Traditional BSN

    Psata replied to Gatennis09's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Is the private ABSN program an accredited Institution for a BSN Program? IS it a For-Profit

  21. The private college cash grab

    Psata replied to malenurseFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    @malenurseFl: You readily admit that 50% of the Students that attended that For-Profit School eventually passed the NCLEX Exam. This tells me that although the School is deficient on many levels,...

  22. The private college cash grab

    Psata replied to malenurseFl's topic in Florida Nursing

    Legal action? Is this a case of buyers remorse? Would you start this thread had you successfully passed your NCLEX on your first or second attempt? There have been zillion of threads on this forum...

  23. BS --> CRNA

    Psata replied to JAMSiExcitement's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Evidently, based on your hypothetical question, you firmly believe that Anesthesiology Assistants (AA) are not equally qualify to administer Anesthesia as do CRNAs. No, I'm not promoting AAs over...

  24. BS --> CRNA

    Psata replied to JAMSiExcitement's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your other Option is to become a Anesthesiology Assistant (AA), which is a more direct path to being a Anesthesia Provider. There would be no need for getting your RN or the one year minimum ICU...

  25. CRNA Schools No Experience Required

    Psata replied to utahskiier's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I a little bit confounded as to why CRNA programs require at least one year of Critical Care experience, when Anesthesiologist Assistants programs have no such requirement. Both CRNAs and...
