Hi, I was accepted to 's ACE program for the Spring 2009. I was wondering where their clinical placements are located. I'm debating moving (I live in Bryn Mawr right now, but was wondering if north of Philadelphia would be a better location). Currently, I live off of the 100 line (a trolly that goes to 69th street) and a few blocks from the R5 stops. Basically, I'm about 4 blocks from Bryn Mawr hospital.

Moving into the city isn't an option. Does anyone know of a list of the hospitals used, or the general locations (Montco, Delco, Bucks, NJ)? Also, when you have to go to Drexel 'the night before' for pt info, what time frame is that (8pm, 11pm?)

Also, how about 'getting ahead'. Now that I'm sure all my prerequisites are done, what should I study for the next 8 months till the program begins? Should I pick up a pharmacology book, or maybe try to learn some Spanish with my old textbooks.

I still feel like I have 10000 more posts till I can do the whole PM thing, but I'd like to hear from current students to see what they find the most challenging part of the program (hardest classes). What about administrative help for figuring out what you want to be when you grow up (or at least get the RN). I think I want hospice care, but I realize there are a lot of other options out there.

Shyrie, you might get more responses if you post this message in the Pennsylvania nursing programs discussion. I'm not sure the ACErs will see it here in the general discussion area.

Good luck in ACE!

Heh.. wow.. more forums than the general nursing ones. Sorry, I'm a newbie. I didn't realize that all of the tabs were forums, only thought the forums tab was forums. Thanks a lot =)

:thankya:
