I have 2 red light violation tickets because I "failed to stop at a red light". When in truth, both of those tickets were from a 'right turn on red' and It never occurred to me that you had to stop completely before turning at a red light even when t...

What is your work schedule for those days? You have to manage your time better. At the job I used to work at before I quit about a day ago, I used to have nights and had to close the store (4pm-9pm) So I would study in the mornings. But then I took o...

I went to my police department and they don't give them out and then I went to the head Chicago police department and since I don't live in that county anymore they won't give it out. So I'm legit wondering where everyone else go to get their backgro...

Trust me I tried. I Waited there for 3 1/2 for them to only tell me that they don't expunge juvenile records there and I head to go to some place that they reccomended me to, who in turn said I need to obtain my arrest records to get them expunged wh...

I'm trying to expunge it before I have to go through it with the school. :/

I find this really annoying that the school I want to go to has considered a 94 or higher to be an A. And after talking to some of the Alumni I have found out that this program is really strict and you need an 82% to pass a class (they base their cla...

4.0 for both semesters. Though I have one more year of prerequisites since my school requires 19 prereqs and 60 credit hours. So we will see how that's going to be...

The nursing school that I will be applying to has a NCLEX pass rate of 73% (2015). But the problem is since 2011 the pass rate has been dropping down to 4-7 points yearly. So who knows how low it will be before I try to start in 2017. Should this be...

Yes, why was it wrong to do that??

I guess I was so shocked by this because a 90 was always an A for me in school. And in some cases an 86 or higher was an A for when I was taking my hardest science classes. So I truly never actually thought that a 94 could be consider an A.

So I just talked to the program's director of nursing (I emailed her) and she said that they made changes this year and they don't plan on losing their accreditation. She also said they are working on getting off of probation this year and the next.

Lol I have no clue.

Sorry I was talking about PVAMU not TMU. And I only know the school because of their vet program but I can only assume they have a stellar nursing program since their admissions are so competitive.

This is all true. But the reality of the situation is UIC is really I'm the top 10 for nursing programs. I was shocked myself when I found out their NCLEX pass rates but it doesn't seem to stop that ambitious pre-nursing student from applying. Also...

Actually I just rechecked the pass rates to make sure and that was the year before that passing rate when 111 students passed. In 2015, 147 students were admitted and only 107 passed. Which is really bad.

Wow only 9???

My friend goes to PVAMU and it is known for being one of the top HBCU colleges. But I heard the nursing program there is terrible and I hear a lot of people don't recommend it. I have no clue about the other universities so good luck finding a school...

You make a pretty good point and I understand where you're coming from. And it's true they do have sosome pretty lax standards. And they admit 130 students each year and usually it seems that only 111 students be surviving and gets to graduate.

Wow I really did not know the majority of nursing schools has a similar grading scale like this. And it makes wonder how some Allnurses members can keep a 4.0 in nursing school.

I 100% agree with this. Going into professional careers like this is never an easy way out and you may just have to work 10x as harder for it. Especially if you GPA is not up to par. I would suggest that if nursing is what you really want to do then ...

I guess that's just the thinking here in Illinois because it's the best program in the state. But granted it still ranks top 10 in the country for it to have some low scores though.

University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) people would cut off an arm or a leg to get into that program and I live in Chicago Edit: Search UIC nursing program ranked #1

I'm now looking at the nursing program that was ranked #1 in the country and yet they have a 75% pass rate that was also 68% the year before that. But I know they could afford to keep their title lol. I could apply there and you need a 3.5 or higher...

So I just did some more research and it says this nursing school has been on probation for 2 years!

I am taking MB too over the summer but I am working part time. However, I think if you just show up to class on time everyday, take notes during lecture, and review the chapter before/after class and then you should be fine.
