   colorful777 replied to BusyBryRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Nothing concrete in terms of #'s, someone I know in the prgm said they had lost about 1/3 of their class by the last quarter. I will be contacting the school next week to get specifics on attrition rates. I'll also be going to the OPEN HOUSE in Janua...

   Hi Tina, I think we'll be in class together, I'm supposed to send the deposit to hold my spot, by ~ Jan 15th. I'm a bit concerned they have a high attrition rate.. Lots to think about.. Perhaps I'll see you in class :). Virginia from Bucks County

5. 2nd Degree Accelerated BSN at Pittsburgh or Drexel?

   colorful777 replied to ShelbyMaser's topic in Pennsylvania

   I totally understand. It's frustrating, as I too am a much better and stronger student. When I asked that same question of the lady at Upitt, she said they had so many applicants that had well-above 3.0 GPA's that they didn't really have to consider ...

   Honestly, I felt really nervous during the interview and she actually asked me several questions. She asked questions about why I moved from CA to PA, and about my current job, what I did at my current job, etc. She asked very general things, nothing...

   colorful777 replied to Susie08's topic in Pennsylvania

   I'm not orginally from Phila, but moved here a year ago, since you just graduated from ACE, can you tell me what the avg -starting- salary is for BSN graduates? Since I don't know other nurses here, I searched the internet and the ranges seem very br...

   colorful777 replied to BusyBryRN2B's topic in Pennsylvania

   Thanx -so- much for your words, they mean a lot to me.. I guess I'm just getting a little worked-up about not knowing/ the suspense.. It's exciting but nerve racking too.. :) I applied to four schools and have only heard back from one (bad news from...

    Hello. I think you and I must have interviewed on the same day for the Villanova BSNExpress program. I was there on Nov. 4th, I interviewed right after I voted :). Do you remember who you interviewed with..? I was really nervous, and I've not heard...
