    iPad or NOT iPad that is the question

    WookieeRN replied to 1_fit_male_nurse2b's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I have a 2-in-1 laptop (touch screen that I can convert to a tablet) that has been helpful in class. I also have an iPad, but since getting the 2-in-1 laptop I've noticed I've really cut down on my...

    Nursing School Policy Changes

    WookieeRN replied to aaaa1577's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, a school can do this regardless of if it states so in the handbook or not. Your option at that point would be to either continue on knowing that policy change or leave the school. There is no...

    Low GPA, Regis ABSN?

    WookieeRN replied to hopeful?123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely think you will need to retake some of those classes that you didn't get an A in. The other poster is correct in that schools will not overlook a GPA such as yours no matter what the story...

    Admitted to A-BSN UM university but can't get loans?

    WookieeRN replied to ericlavin67's topic in General Students

    $75k is... a lot, I'll be honest. I wouldn't sleep at night with debt that high, but to each his own. You will always end up paying more than the $75k due to interest. I work during school to keep the...

    Questions:HACC Pre-Nursing

    WookieeRN replied to starlight2468's topic in General Students

    If HACC is like any of the other PA community colleges, you actually have to complete your prerequisites before applying to the nursing program. Then, if you are accepted, you can take nursing...

    Are there Rn to Crna schools?

    WookieeRN replied to adixon252's topic in General Students

    You would need ICU experience to be able to do RN to CRNA... I have seen some that are essentially RN to MSN programs but they all still require ICU experience and/or a previous bachelors (I think one...

    Loans for ABSN

    WookieeRN replied to Karamia0x's topic in General Students

    That is for graduate school. An ABSN is still an undergraduate degree, so the undergraduate degree aggregate limit of $57k still

    Debt for Nursing School

    Need an Opinion (As a nursing undergrad)

    WookieeRN replied to BCnursingkid's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why not? I'm not sure if you are aware but CC programs can actually be more rigorous and competitive than 4-year programs. Just a FYI, and I sincerely hope you don't day something like that while you...

    Schools for students who dropped out of a nursing program

    WookieeRN replied to male2bnurse0's topic in General Students

    You're going to want to get your GPA up, especially having already failed out of a nursing program. 3.0 just isn't going to cut it. If you're really desperate you could try for-profit schools, but...

    Getting into School with Repeated Classes

    WookieeRN replied to mls(ascp)rnhopeful's topic in General Students

    If they are focusing on repeated courses even when you retook them and got a higher score, then a high-TEAS score may help you or it may not. You may be out of the running just because you repeated...

    Direct Entry programs with the LEAST pre reqs or GPA req

    WookieeRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Direct entry programs are going to require a 3.0 minimum but will usually only end up accepting people much higher than that. If there are even any that list a 2.5 GPA as a minimum, it will be the...

    Are you currently employed by the hospital (as in they are paying you for your services, not on a volunteer basis)? If not, you are not considered an internal candidate, but

    PreReq Bind

    WookieeRN replied to apop1's topic in General Students

    My undergraduate college had a really weird rule about not accepting community college credits if you were already enrolled as a student at the school (i.e. take a course or two at a local community...

    Cheating in nursing school

    WookieeRN replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    Some schools will hold you accountable just as much as the cheater if they find out you knew and said nothing. While I do agree it is none of my business, in that kind of instance you have to think...
