  1. Need info on jefferson fact!

    If you read through these boards some more, you'll find a ton of info on the FACT program. I'm a FACT grad and will agree with some of what you've read online. After reading the nightmares people experienced with the financial aide office, I paid as ...
  2. Yup, sad isn't it? When I was comparing schools, I found that my local state university charged $27,000 for tuition for their one year BSN program, but was in one of the most expensive areas of the country and would likely have required me to purchas...
  3. I worked full-time while completing the pre-reqs for my ABSN program and lived in a cheap apartment with 3 roommates in order to save money. I hated that dumpy apartment and having to share one bathroom with 3 other often inconsiderate girls, but I h...
  4. New RN, 3 weeks into orientation, total screw up.

    Hang in there, Nugget! You will be fine. I'm a new nurse too, but I'm still searching for my first job. Be glad you found a job and remember that you still have much to learn. All these mistakes will make you a better nurse because you'll remember yo...
  5. Temple's New to Practice Program

    No, I didn't even see it on their website.
  6. Temple's New to Practice Program

    Congratulations to those who've been called to interview! Would you mind sharing what you did to get a call? I've been applying for listing that I qualify for, but no response. Thanks and good luck to you!
  7. Jefferson FACT 2012

    If anyone wants to buy a used Saunders NCLEX review book for $35, I'll sell you mine. Just PM me on here. Good luck, FACTsters!
  8. Just took nclex today and I feel cheated

    I took it last week and felt the same way. After all the Kaplan preparation my program required us to do throughout our program (at least one Kaplan exam per course, the Q bank, trainers, and videos) and all the studying I did with outside sources as...
  9. Good Writing Skills Are Essential

    As someone with a BSN, BA in English and years of experience in the corporate sector, I agree that solid writing skills are essential. However, colleges today do not seem to think so and, as a result, assign As to papers that are not actually A quali...
  10. My NCLEX - for what it's worth

    Congratulations and thank you! :)
  11. Hospital Question (Childrens Hospital, Philadelphia)

    Oh, I forgot St. Chris is part of Tenet, not Temple. My mistake.
  12. Hospital Question (Childrens Hospital, Philadelphia)

    Thank you! This is quite informative and very sad to read about CHOP, since it's my top choice and I just spent a lot of time writing essays for their application. Obviously, I'm applying elsewhere and will take anything I can get. Hiddencat, how is...
  13. FACT program at TJU

    Thank you, jocy! You can post more questions on here. I'll try to answer them once my brain recovers a little. There's definitely a lot of great info on the other thread.
  14. FACT program at TJU

    Pro: You're in and out in one year. Con: You have to cram an extraordinary amount of info into your brain in one year. That's seriously all I can think of just now, but tomorrow's my last day of the FACT program. My brain is exhausted.
  15. Is it possible to get a job at CHOP?

    Does anyone know the nurse recruiter's name and/or email? If so, would you mind PMing it to me? Thank you! CHOP is my first choice, but I haven't heard anything yet.
