Hello Everyone, I'm new to the site and looking for other students that will be applying to bilingual nursing programs in Puerto Rico. I am looking at UMET & Interamerican University. I was hoping we could help each other out throughout the appl...

Thanks I did try but I was only directed to registrar which was not helpful because they wouldn't review my paperwork. I'm sure things would have gone more smoothly if the director was there. I'm just referring to the fact that I thought I would get...

If I had come to visit just for the school I would of been so ****** off but luckily I was on vacation. I was def surprised I was not able to get any help or more information . I guess the director is the only competent one there which is a shame but...

I was coming here anyway to visit my parents but wanted to stop by to check out the school. I didn't know she was gonna be away until after I booked my ticket and I def think the crappy visit was due to her not being there. I won't be coming back for...

I feel like I really wasted my time visiting the campus. Some people told me the process was super easy and the director signed them up right away . That was def not my experience. They didn't even look at any of my documents.

Visited umet and not what I expected director was on vacation and couldn't even get a tour. Seemed like they don't know much about the program . Went to registrar and they wouldn't review my transcripts because they are from New York and they said t...

I would go to Texas probably San Antonio. Love warm weather, the culture, the atmosphere and economy is good. Beautiful homes and apartments and no state tax :)

Does anyone have an address for UMET? Something that can be typed into GPS. I emailed the director but she sends me the mailing address. I will be driving to Bayamon. Thanks :)

Where did u find the agent? Also, how far is that area from UMET? Thanks dz.

Yes of course it does depend on the state. But once u have your license it shouldn't be that difficult to transfer. I think it's more of an issue when u want to take the nclex. Some states want a specific course break down if u graduated from pr. Tw...

Also once u get your license from Wisconsin u just transfer it over to the state u want to work in and u would have skipped the whole international process

Hello ladies that is because many states consider Puerto Rico international. Most people I talk to on this site say they got licensed by Wisconsin because they only require 1 document from the school and don't consider pr as foreign. I'm surprised th...

I need to take micro too . Does UMET offer micro? I'm planning to take it at home but would like to know just in case.

Will be in Puerto Rico July 12. Hoping to visit umet during that week and drop off my application documents. :)

Dz cafe pls keep us all posted on how things go once u get there. Would love to know about your experience. Thanks

Thanks for replying, I have heard that as well. I did email the Wisconsin BON and they did clarify that they do not consider PR international as long as the school is accredited which UMET def is. When are u moving to PR? I would like to keep in touc...

Thank you amguzman :) have you gotten information regarding it will be an issue to take the Nclex and get your license in the states?

Hello, If anyone is UMET alumni, I would like to know if you had any issues getting authorization to test and getting a license in the states. I know each state has different rules so I am trying to get an idea of any challenges that may arise from ...

Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for reading. I would like to know if anyone is Alumni of UMET, if so have you had any issues working as an R.N in the states. Were you able to transfer your license to other states and start working without any issue...

Hello, has anyone actually completed the application process and received an acceptance letter from UMET?? seems like most people are still in the process. Would like to know how the process went and if you encountered any challenges during the proc...

so far im using the ATI book, [COLOR=#004b91]McGraw-Hill's 5 TEAS Practice Tests and [COLOR=#004b91]Davis's Basic Math Review for Nurses: with Step-by-Step Solutions by Vicki Raines BS.

hello ladies, im also applying for the spring 2015 class. Need to take Micro in the fall. Been studying for the TEAS so far and hoping for the best..:)

thats so GREAT!!!! God is def. amazing and good things always come to us when we are patient and have faith. I am genuinely very happy for all of you that are starting this journey together and I wish you the best. I hope we get to meet in the Spring...

no problem, i may very well be in your boat but i learned not to stress anymore. as long as you get in, thats the most important thing. best of luck and keep us posted

Hey CJA, Getting wait listed is annoying but at the same time, its good news because it means you were accepted, they just dont have enough seats. So hang in there, you'll be starting soon enough. At least you were accepted so the hard part is over.
