   chicurious replied to RNcDreams's topic in Illinois

   I was a volunteer at Mt. Sinai in peds and it was a good experience. It seemed like the nurses were happy for the most part. The area is a little rough, but not the roughest. I think there is a free shuttle from the hospital to the EL station (you...

   chicurious replied to jessica75's topic in Illinois

   I got in as well (I found out earlier this month, but was abroad and didn't have the right internet access/time to respond to this). Rush was my first choice so I cried when I got the news and called home immediately! Jenna- My GPA from undergrad wa...

4. Washington Hospital Center - Good for grads?

   chicurious replied to chachi69's topic in Washington DC

   I'm still learning the lingo, but rotating shift refers to a rotation of actual days/dates or a rotation between night and day shifts? So, does it mean you work nights consistently, but the actual dates you are scheduled rotate? Or does it mean you...

5. Washington Hospital center scholars program at Georgetown University

   chicurious replied to chicurious's topic in Washington DC

   Thanks for the answer. Do they explain all of this clearly and in detail at the interview weekend? Also, a friend of mine who is a nurse smartly suggested I ask how WHC places scholars after graduation. Do you get to choose what areas you would l...

   chicurious replied to chicurious's topic in Post Graduate

   Thanks for your response and encouragement. Perhaps what I lack in terms of your GRE scores and GPA, I can make up for with my work experience, Spanish language skills and (now volunteering at a hospital) health care experience. :)

   chicurious replied to EffinP_Meg's topic in Post Graduate

   Hey, you're probably in the midst of the program now. Do you have any thoughts? I'm really considering Columbia but the price and the cost of living in NYC really freaks me out. Let me know what your experience is.

10. Survivng Drexel ACE - advice pls!

    chicurious replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania

    I applied to Drexel well before reading the large amount of negative feedback on here. I'll continue with the application process (mainly because it is so inexpensive- sending my transcripts), but I'm thinking less and less that it sounds appealing ...
