    When looking at colleges (financial aid)

    WookieeRN replied to losthorizon43's topic in General Students

    I've been 2 colleges so far and it's been the same system. One school I did not receive dispersement for the remainder of the loan until 6 weeks after classes

    Disruptive & talkative students (vent)

    WookieeRN replied to Little_Bear2013's topic in General Students

    This is exactly why I always sit in front. First, very few of these Chatty Kathies seem to sit closer to the front in my experience. Second, it helps me resist the temptation to talk myself as the...

    What's your Opinion

    WookieeRN replied to MrRager's topic in General Students

    If they ONLY reason you are getting into nursing is for the money and financial stability I think you may be in the wrong field. Outside of the reasons you mentioned, what in nursing would give you...

    WookieeRN replied to highschoolrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I finish with a 3.2 GPA at Valencia college, will I get in the Nursing program?

    WookieeRN replied to delimina's topic in School, College Programs

    It's difficult to say. Each nursing program has their own criteria for acceptance. Some base their acceptance on GPA and test scores, some use a points system, etc. 3.2 is low for a nursing program...

    Boston area

    WookieeRN replied to Aspiringnurse0421's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Readmission into Nursing School Letter

    WookieeRN replied to olivia91's topic in General Students

    I think you are coming off very unsympathetic in this letter and it comes off like you're using your children as a scapegoat. I think the admissions committee, or whomever you are sending the letter,...
