    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know what it's like to live in Brockport but it is a very small town. Many said that it can be a bit boring. The upside is that you would be very close to school. I live in Rochester and did...

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    She didn't give a specific time frame. I think once we get the official letter we only have two weeks or so to send the deposit to save our spot. I hope it's not as expensive as U of R's

  6. SUNY Brockport BSN Second Degree Program - Summer 2016

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    I got the email around 3pm. In the past years where emails were sent, I don't think everyone got one. I don't know how they decide. She said the official letter will arrive in 1-2 weeks. She did ask...

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    I was previously accepted to the University of Rochester program starting in January but it was too expensive so I had to back out. Brockport was my only other option and I'm definitely excited to be...

    Not $75,000 in private loans. That's too much. The other school I'm waiting on is a public college and half the

    When you say the transfer application do you mean the one you see on web banner (i.e. the one that states 'nursing intent' and not the secondary application we had to send)? Because mine still states...

    Tink87 replied to Tink87's topic in School, College Programs

    Another spot may be opening up since my financial aid award is nowhere near enough. I haven't made it official yet but I will soon. I'm still waiting on a decision from another school so here's...

  12. SUNY Brockport BSN Second Degree Program - Summer 2016

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    The closer we get the more I freak myself out. I just received my financial aid award from University of Rochester and they didn't offer me anywhere close to enough to make it worth it. It looks like...

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes, Rochester. I actually drive a small hatchback with front wheel drive and it's just about as good in the snow as my old AWD cars. I'm a Rochester native so I'm used to it. FYI, make sure you check...

    The lack of snow days is definitely true. It especially sucks if you commute from the city. I almost slid into a ditch many times trying to drive to campus but hey, it's upstate

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    Actually, I got an email from them a week or two ago saying hello and that they are currently reviewing my application. You didn't get anything like that? I hope it's a good sign. It was from the...

    Tink87 replied to r2ellie's topic in School, College Programs

    The campus is okay. It's in a small town about 20 minutes outside the city of Rochester. I got my first bachelors there. The nursing program actually just got a newly remodeled building with new labs...

    I'm glad to have found this. I also applied for the summer 2016 cohort. I was actually already accepted to the University of Rochester's accelerated bsn and paid my deposit but honestly, if Brockport...

  20. Is it true all nurses get MRSA or C-DIFF?

    Tink87 replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    I was one of the unlucky who did, indeed, get c diff. However, I got it while I was working in a position with limited patient contact (and those that I did contact were healthy individuals). I hadn't...

    Anyone looking for housing: don't overlook the city outside of the u of r area. The south wedge/monroe ave area is still very close and a rather 'trendy' neighborhood. I'm right off of monroe and I...

    I know that we probably have another week to go but I must say, I'm having a hard time focusing on other things with this wait. So much anxiety No calls to anyone yet,

  25. HOW do people do well in Anatomy & P?

    Tink87 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

    I passed A & P 1 and 2 with a B+ by reading, studying the diagrams in the book, using the coloring book, and online games. Unfortunately, it really is all memorization. I have to say, you're lucky...
