I need advice, I don't know if I should push the issue because I'm a believer that if something is going wrong from the beginning that it's an ominous sign! I also know that everyone is convinced they're 'right' in a disagreement, so I'm worried I'm ...

I don't really understand the emphasis on ACEN/CCNE accreditation. Can't transfer anyways. Like as long as a school is approved by the state's nursing board, you're good to take the NCLEX. I'm currently trying to get approval to test out of some of t...

Thank you for the reassuring words. Tbh I couldn't believe I got into any programs! 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I think maybe with the covid stuff not that many people applied. My HESI was a 96, but my GPA is like a 2.6-2.7 and my work ethic/discipline is....

I actually just emailed the assistant dean and the dean about it, if nothing else than to get my money put back into my account. From the 2 financial administrators I spoke to a couple days ago, the nursing department has to confirm that I am no long...

Oh yeah, I am usually like that believe it or not. I just figured since the school texts/emails at least 4-5 times week about 'reminders' (payment due, sign up for classes deadline, financial aid deadline, 'you haven't met with the required academic ...

Well I dk about all that, I actually read the terms of it and in it, it says nothing about no compliance = dropped. No payment, yes, but I fulfilled that. I wasn't speaking legally, I was asking in terms of taking it to the dean or student affairs.

does this make it rest on your cheeks vs. the bridge of your nose? I have a rib graft on my nasal bridge that was affixed right where those n95 masks press. 'hanging on by a string' through my dorsum, literally LOL I don't know how long it takes to o...

Why wouldn't you be able to have benedryl even if you were in a monitoring program?! Didn't they remove the 'purp drank' out of benedryl kids were taking it for?

*Long post caution! NM just got their lock down extended today for the next...who knows how many weeks. Gonna be a whole lotta time spare time and I'm pretty talkative LOL I once had a teacher question me for 45 minutes on a presentation she des...

yeah if you look through the student handbooks of all the nursing programs (well, the undergraduate haven't looked into any of the master's/doctorate) you'll see there's a phrase in all of them saying, "challenge exams available for all nursing cours...

why not do an accelerated ADN at a community college? There's one in oklahoma city that's like 9 months, Houston has one that is "self paced" online didactic, Philadelphia has one for like 11 months (I believe this is a private program though, probab...

CRNA. Osteopathic programs (DO) have the same curriculum as Allopathic programs (MD) with the addition of about 20 more credit hours (these are kind of like a chiropractic education). Medical school requires calculus, calculus based physics for 2 sem...

Money I'm sure. Of all the ridiculous college success annoying stuff they made me do in high school and throughout college, none of them ever mentioned CLEP. How many people would take any gen ED's knowing that you could test out of them for $90 and ...

I know that in California there is some rule that requires nursing programs to offer challenge exams for all nursing courses (at least for the ADN and BSN programs) perhaps you could check out a FNP program based there and see if it's for the master'...

There is a girl in my small town of NM that came here just for the nursing program from California because it's so hard to get in there. I'm assuming because there's a requirement for Cali nursing programs that a student can test out of all courses t...

ah sorry I just saw your question, I got into Brookhaven in Dallas. I actually wasn't expecting it because my grades aren't too hot, but I scored well on the HESI. I'm in New Mexico and thought I'd get into Central NM community college because their ...

I'm no longer thinking about it because I got into a community college program, but some of the 'BON-only' accredited were tempting because of their credit hour requirements. Hypothetically, if you graduated from one of these associate RN programs an...

Hondros' direct entry ADN program was really tempting. They count ANY 30 hour college experience and pretty much place you on the same level as an LPN. Plus A&P 1 and 2, math, english, were all apart of the program, not pre-reqs. I don't know, I ...

anatomy and physiology is really just memorization and it's pretty hard to do without mneunomics. I always used the "for dummies" or mometrix version of whatever class I was in for about $25. It annoys me that colleges make you purchase textbooks by ...

Patients can order their own blood work now thanks to the lobbying Theranos did in AZ. I go through ultawellness, Quest does the draw, it's pretty cheap. Rising PSA, AFP? Blood work in the mean time might help ease his mind if nothing else. I ac...

oh wow, I just looked up portland's nursing program requirements and yeah, it'd be pretty hard to get in without prior healthcare experience. I noticed that like half of the health care experience points came from having a certification of some sort....

Majority of the shell schools operate on the concept of 'lost in the chaos' and it's easier to do with non-US education verification in exchange for credits

Just throwing this out there, if I remember correctly you are from Florida? When I went to med school in the Caribbean, a lot of the "main office" (shell company consulting firms, mostly) were based in Miami. I knew of 2 girls that that dropped out o...

I hate that sociopaths can claw their way to the top and keep going like nothing ever happened. And who looks "crazy?" I'm a big believer that someone can be driven into insanity. '48 Laws of Power' and 'The Art of War' helped stopped the "victim" cy...

I can't answer for California because I applied in OK, TX. All the schools I applied for took my highest grade for my pre-reqs. I was able to substitute my college algebra C for my trigonometry A for my math prereq, as well as my organic chem 1 for t...
