Puerto Rico school feedback - thread #2

World US Territories

Published

Wow after 9 years and 1336 posts they closed our thread because it was too long.

The original thread and all the helpful posts can be found here:

https://allnurses.com/international-nursing/puerto-rico-school-28678.html

There are 134 pages in that thread but the last 130 pages were from 2010 and beyond and there is a ton of helpful info in there. Hopefully the current students will continue this thread as I graduate this month. Please try to read that thread at least a little bit before posting your questions here as it is very likely your question has been asked and answered on the other thread more than once.

Good luck on whatever path you choose!

Specializes in Geriatrics.

Classes start on August 1st yes. I am not sure what other dates are available for orientation, but call the school and ask to be transfer to the nursing department so you can ask about ways to register for the classes. They usually have several orientation dates when I started last year I chose the last one in July however I came to Puerto Rico to register in May of last year.

Thanks again,

I'm going to try to give them a call again tomorrow to see about registering.

Hopefully I can get through to them.

I appreciate all the help

Is there any way possible you can copy paste the link to the page? All i found was an actual person with that name and they have 24 friends..i sent a friend request. That is not it right?

I am doing the accelerated one. I can't come on June 21 because of work, is there any other way to register? I'd like to do it ASAP so I can to get a better schedule.

Also, do you know when the first classes start? Is it August 1?

They don't really tell you anything at all on the acceptance letter..

Thank you..

There's an academic calender online which gives you all those details :) http://www.metro.inter.edu/calendario/201513.pdf

Hi lstsmile,

Thanks for your help..

One other quick question about the documents we need to get (Hep B, CPR, Health Cert, Police Check etc etc). In the manual they gave me, it states that they must be handed in the first week of class, but I also remember hearing that we have a year to get all these done. Do you know if I have to have evertyhing done by August 1 in order to attend classes, or will we be given more time? I just arrived in PR and am trying hard to get all done as quick as possible..

Thanks

You will definitely have enough time to get all of your documents together. On your first day of clinical, your prof will be able to tell you the deadline in which everything should be turned in. Please don't stress yourself out in trying to get those documents for August 1. You will need all those documents listed, yes, but you have time. (Usually the professors made us turn in those documents 2-3+ weeks into the trimester)

Great!

Thanks so much.. it definitely would've been pretty stressful trying to get all that by Aug 1.

Thank you for your help

This is a three year old thread. The member hadn't been on this site in over 6 months. You can't "tag " people by quoting them like on Facebook. Have you tried contacting the school admissions department directly?

Yes I have and havent heard anything back.

I am a RN, ASN i graduated May 14, currently working as a CC nurse. My goal is to become an billingual NP and open my own clinic. So i figured the best thing for me at this point is to move and finish my degree. I am looking for information on the RN-BSN program at InterAmerican. Have you completed the program?

I am a graduate of the BSN program.

What information are you looking for that you haven't found on the thread?

Is the process of applying the same for the Accelerated program (RN-BSN). Also, this thread is pretty long and dated so I wasn't sure if the process was still the same. I have applied and I guess I'm waiting on information in the mail to send to complete the program. When did you graduate from the program? I also wanted to know what is the program like for a nurse just trying to complete his/her degree
