   @ND_Irish - Thanks so much for coming on here to offer support- much appreciated! I have an endless number of questions for you, but I'll start with this one: I took a tour of the school last year and I vaguely remember some mention of ABSN students ...

   Annie143 replied to FunkySkunk's topic in Pennsylvania

   @Morgan- I interviewed via phone a couple of weeks ago, but before I received the invite, I called the admissions office and was told that not receiving an interview did not necessarily mean that your application was no longer in the running. It is p...

    Annie143 replied to RN2bBevy's topic in Professionalism

    Annie143 replied to student789's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi there, I did not take Microbiology over the summer, but I did take A&P in a six week summer session. I think that doing any of your lab sciences in a consolidated format is going to be intense, but if it were impossible, the school would likel...

15. Nursing as a calling...is it mine?

    Annie143 replied to birdyberb's topic in Pre-Nursing

    So... I joined this board not too long ago, several years after your initial post, but I still felt compelled to respond. I really connected with your post- not because I'm questioning the nursing profession, but because I really respect and admire t...
