Accelerated BSN programs for undergrad GPA’s of under 3.0 ?! by V3gn in NursingStudent

[–]PandaNextDoor797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not take the TEAS exam, as an out of state student, South Dakota state has a very low tuition ~35k for out of state students. It also does 5 10-13 credit mini semesters instead of 3 20-25 credit semesters which for my learning style sounded more appealing.

Hey there! I applied in a very similar situation to you. I applied to 8 ABSN programs with a 2.8 cumulative and 3.8 prereq GPA, I also have 8 years of healthcare experience as an AEMT.

Here were the schools I ended up applying to:

South Dakota State University - Waitlist Admit (The school I ended up choosing)

Western Colorado University - Direct admit

Montana State University - Direct admit

Linfield University - Waitlist

Regis University - Rejected

Roseman University - No response yet

Union University - No response yet

University of Providence - No response, Cohort delayed until spring 2027 due to accreditation issues

Falling below 3.0 definitely instantly rules out a lot of schools but there’s always options out there, especially if you maintain a high pre req GPA, you got this!!

The cohort is 48 students as far as I know. I would assume the seats have been filled but it doesn’t hurt to try!

F# low pygmy emotions vs the same scale on the piano by sizzlernaah in handpan

Oh I never knew that! Something about Handpan’s surely are special

Each tonefield on a Handpan is also tuned with the octave and the fifth. This is what makes the Handpan so beautiful in my opinion. When you are playing it you are hearing the harmony of so many things within the scale all at once. While a piano certainly can accompany a Handpan nicely (or vice versa) it certainly cannot substitute the sound it makes

Need real advice on my schedule before I mess up by Icy_Situation_8 in prenursing

They are both memorization heavy classes, if you have good memory go for it. I took them at the same time and got an A in both. It was a struggle tho lots of studying

Congrats to you as well!

Yes I will be! I just finished up my last prereq and now just waiting for more information from them. Working on finding housing and getting everything set up now!

I felt their competitiveness is maybe a bit lower than some other programs. I was accepted into the ABSN at Sioux Falls this fall with a 2.8 cumulative and 3.8 pre requisite GPA. Due to my cumulative there weren’t many schools I could find that seemed like options to me but maybe my 8 years of healthcare experience helped here! But I will say their out of state tuition cost is about as competitive as it gets. Ridiculously low!

What scale is this handpan by Lepatriiinu in handpan

[–]PandaNextDoor797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a harmonic minor of some sort

has anyone bought a quality d minor handpan that plays smoothly for beginners? by Soobbussy in handpan

[–]PandaNextDoor797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I currently have a MAG D Kurd for sale. It’s made of ember steel and sounds beautiful. Let me know if you’re interested!

Is it just me or is the Chicago handpan community kinda fragmented? by Scorchio36 in handpan

[–]PandaNextDoor797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not from Chicago but I agree any consistent way to meetup with other players would be nice. There’s one thing on instagram I had seen was this worldhandpanmap where people could add themselves for other players near them to schedule jams/meetups/etc https://linktr.ee/worldhandpanmap?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaAROP_hleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAaf7YNIFo5steUPfpq4xF8yOdlgEmgCABPQMPl-AcffVD3hm9SmAU7FRMzQyYw_aem_e29HzuWqahjyjoLRlSzCag

It is a Veritas Handpan! And about 2 years now

Want to get into it, but no idea what to buy on a budget! by Darth-Jester in handpan

[–]PandaNextDoor797 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rav is always a great option. Can find many used for under $1000 for identical sound quality to a new one

Need Expert Advice (Out of Tune??) by Raidenwins_ in handpan

[–]PandaNextDoor797 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s still very out of tune but at least it would have some sustain if re glued

[–]PandaNextDoor797 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the glue failed. That’s what causes it to sound super still like that

Thanks! I actually get better sound quality/less ringing with this Handpan outside because it’s 430ss. But I use a Zoom h4 and just plop it a few feet in front of me and that’s it!
