Puerto Rico school feedback?

Published

Anyone out there have info on the school in Arecibo, PR? It is a 24 month program that begins in August.

I'd love to hear anything, thanks.

I also plan to start the English Accelerated BSN at Inter in August. I applied in mid March and haven't gotten a reply yet. Fortunately I have colleague currently in the program and they have been able to check on my application status. Last I checked "two more weeks"....as they say. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to make a pre- move trip. I will be going/moving at the end of June. I'm so excited about this endeavor but I'm extremely nervous. How is the Rio Piedras area for housing?

FYI those coming here next Trimester. There is a choice place for rent advertized on the Asociacion de Enfunmeria Facebook page. It is the nursing association page at La Inter. It's not my place (i'm graduating whooo!) But it is with a cool chick and you should check it out if you're looking for a place. I think it is for 2 female roommates. I don't think I can leave any more detail without violating terms on the website here (hopefully i haven't already). So if you're interested check it out. It's also an awesome resource for all your La Inter questions.

Cheers.

Also: The girl looking for roomies is a nursing student (if that wasn't obvious) lol.

@npandres The website above is the Nursing Association Facebook page for La Inter and a lot of people are on it. You can always post that you are looking and see if any classmates know of leads. Remember there is a whole class graduating and many of us do not plan on staying on the island so that opens up a lot of spots. Good luck.

@cahoon is your place up for rent? On the site I saw it was only in Spanish.

@nursekeke The facebook page is in english and spanish. People just usually post in whichever is their first language. There is only one page for both the english and spanish program. The person advertizing for a roommate I mentioned earlier posted in both english and spanish in the same post. My apt is for rent also, but I am leaving totally, so not looking for a roommate. It's not really a super spot either. It's close to school, but not close enough to walk. It would be a good spot for someone coming with their family. It was good for me, but honestly I would have rather lived closer to the beach. PM me if you want more specifics.

Hello, I am trying to get more information from UMET, but am having trouble reaching anyone that can answer my questions. An email or phone number with a name would be great. Or maybe someone can answer some of these questions:

1.) Where is the application to UMET BSN program?

2.) What are the requirements/pre-requisites for someone with a college degree? Do ALL transcripts need to be mailed?

3.) Where would I mail them?

4.) I am visiting PR in May. Is it possible to get accepted and registered before them from Texas? Or is there a better chance in person?

If anyone knows the answers to any of these, please reply back!

Thanks!

Hi,

My trip was great. I fell in love with the city! Both me and my friend ( moving with me as well) went to both campus. Unfortunately, we got more help at Umet and was able to sit down with the director, get our transcripts evaluated, admitted, signed up for classes, and get a tour of the facility. Umet nursing building and classes are well equipped with the necessary simulators and tools to succeed. Right now I am torn between the two, because both has its pros and cons. I will be heading back there the second or third week of May. This time geared towards La inter.

Hey Liz! have you made a final decision? I'm finishing my first year @ UMET in Cupey .. but looking foward to start at UMET in Bayamon in Aug. :)
