  1. Microbiology

    Micro is all memorization. Are you making flash cards? Creating mnemonic devices? Studying each day instead of cramming is key.
  2. themed scrubs

    Tooniforms Cherokee Uniforms, Character Scrubs & Disney Scrubs at Medical Scrubs Mall I saw batman and other DC stuff on this site.
  3. There is graduate financial aid. You can get federal direct loans; I think it's about $20,500 a year.
  4. 12/31/15: What I learned this year

    Losing a parent is the worst thing I have ever experienced. I miss my mom everyday. Hugs to you
  5. !!! :) Well as long as you are eligible for financial aid here then you should be golden! I believe that you still would be ineligible for grants but would have all of the loan money available. There are also PLUS loans but I am not entirely sure h...
  6. Also, if you have not capped out your federal loans (it's around $57,000) then you are still able to get some loan money but you will not be eligible for any grants. Unfortunately the loan money most likely will not cover each semester's tuition so y...
  7. Any federal financial aid you have received is stored in the NSLDS and when you file your FAFSA, which you would have to do to receive financial aid, anything you have ever received will show up (Subsidized, unsubsidized, any federal grants).
  8. NYU Spring 2016

    Private student loans are notoriously hard to get, it's not like the glory days of 06-08 when they were handing them out like party favors. *shivering thinking of my undergrad private debt* But seriously, you need a co-signer. >90% of private s...
  9. luzerne county community college

    I had Dr. Campbell, he is hilarious. I guess he also teaches at Kulpmont. Here are 4 oranges, now which is the most orange? Good lord. What even is that?
  10. luzerne county community college

    Congratulations! I took pharmacology this semester and the professor, who also teaches the nursing classes, mentioned that over 20% of the new nursing students were going to fail the first semester; scared me a bit. I am really happy that you did so...
  11. luzerne county community college

    Hope your semester was awesome!! I am hoping so hard to get in this year.
  12. luzerne county community college

    Hi! It's done on a points system to get accepted. Each grade in the pre reqs is equivalent to 1-6 points. Those with the highest get in the program. You get bonus points if you were denied last year as well as if you are registered for spring.
  13. Luzerne County Community College

    Thanks! I will only have one pre req left after this semester so hopefully that doesn't hurt me come application time.
  14. Luzerne County Community College

    Hi! Congratulations on starting classes! Hope everything is going well so far! I also attend LCCC. I am really hoping to get accepted into the nursing program for 2016.
  15. Hi! I am looking for anyone who is attending/has graduated from LCCC's nursing program. Can you please share your acceptance details (when you got your letter, g.p.a., pax scores)? The school is so vague with their admissions details and rumors a...
  16. I passed the first time. I studied the book for 3 weeks or so before taking it.
  17. Try not to look at it as a wasted year. Use this time to study for the pax. Take it in April. If you do not pass, take it in the fall. You have two chances to pass it! :) they do not care what the score is, just that you get over 100. The best advic...
  18. Have you gotten the nln study guide yet? I think it helps, especially as a physics refresher. I used that and got a 141 on the pax. Unfortunately I did not have enough pre reqs done so I did not get in this year. I will have everything done in Decem...
  19. It's a point system. Each grade has a point equivalent and you have to pass the pax exam. The students with the most points get in.
  20. Hey guys! Anyone else hear anything? I just made my schedule for fall. I will be done with all my pre reqs by December. Hopefully then I get in :)
  21. Have you been given a reason for denial? Is there someone you can make an appointment with at your school to discuss how you can make yourself more competitive?
  22. The letter won't tell you the reason, you have to make an appointment in admissions to speak to the nursing guy, his name is Jim. I took my pax in November. My denial wasn't my PAX it was because I still have pre reqs to do. I am taking ap2 and micr...
  23. Did you sign up to retake the pax? Do you have the study guide? The study guide helps.
  24. I am pretty sure that if you go to the admissions office they will let you know. If its a "no" then you can make an appointment with the nursing guy and he will go over the application with you and what you need to do to try to get in next year. I...
  25. I am still holding onto hope that you are in because you don't have a denial. You could have enough points to be in the small waiting pool for hose who don't make their deposits by the 3rd.
