  1. Nursing School For Older Student

    I will also be an oldie (56) (but goodie, I hope ) when I begin a bsn program. Good luck to us all!
  2. Harsh realities

    llg...Thanks for being a voice in the wilderness! I guess I just needed the ole kick in the pants. While the recession has had a major impact on most of us, it is time to face reality (as ugly as it looks!). I'm tired of saying things like "if onl...
  3. Harsh realities

    Hello all! I was wondering if any older students (I mean over 53) have dealt with the harsh reality of finding scant employment opportunities once they graduate (or heard of someone who had this problem). The nursing school's admissions committee (...
  4. older students

    I was wondering if any career changers out there have had any problems finding jobs once they graduated from their programs? I know jobs are still tight, but would my age work against me (over 55 once I graduate with a BSN)? Thanks for any feedback...
  5. Drexel ACE'rs placement rate

    Hi all...I'm sorry, but I don't remember where I read this in the posts on this site. I read somewhere that the Drexel ACE program has a 100% job placement rate for its graduates! I wonder if this is true?? Any former ACE'rs want to have their say...

  8. Any mature students out there?

    Hello everyone! I have gone and gotten accepted into Drexel's ACE program for the fall of 2009. I am a much more mature student...over 50! This is obviously a second (3rd or 4th) career for me and I was just curious if there is anyone else out the...

    Firstly, congrats to all you newly minted nurses! Now I would like to ask if any of you looking for jobs out there have noticed any problems with finding jobs? I have seen a lot of troubling news on various posts about new grads having a tough time f...
  10. Nursing grads and job prospects

    Firstly, congrats to all you newly minted nurses! Now I would like to ask if any of you looking for jobs out there have noticed any problems with finding jobs? I have seen a lot of troubling news on various posts about new grads having a tough time...
  11. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    Hi Nana! It is nice to meet another ACEr. Currently I am a high school teacher so I'm counting down to the end of the school year and things are hectic to say the least (proms, college accepts, etc.). Do you have last minute classes to take? I've...
  12. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    Hi everyone. I'm just curious how the folks in the Drexel ACE program are doing so far. I'm accepted and starting in fall 2008. I was wondering how your program schedules work. How often are classes and when (and how many hours/day) are you doing...
  13. Second Degree BSN or ADN

    One other thought to consider is where you might want to work. Some hospitals require a BSN for entry level nurses (I'm thinking UPenn here in Philly). Good luck with your searching and career change!
  14. Drexel University?

    Drexel uses GPA as their cutoff. You either have it or not. There pass rates are pretty good. Hope this helps.
  15. drexel ace and excelsior exams

    Yep, I'm in for fall 2008.
