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...
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 (...
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...

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...
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...

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!
