1. If accepted to R.N and P.A school, which would you pick?

   julesjmf replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing school -- you can always do your NP, and work as an RN while you're doing it -- but I really believe nursing gives you much more flexibility than PAs. Plus in many states, I believe that NPs actually have more autonomy than PAs. It's also ...

2. How much time do you have to get the pt. to the admitting unit?

   julesjmf replied to I<3H2O's topic in Emergency

   Our goal is 45 minutes for admits -- and to be honest I'm not sure if this goal is from the time that they are put in for a bed assignment or just once they have the bed assignment I just treat it like it's the time from the bed assignment because t...

   julesjmf replied to vwde's topic in Virginia

   From what I've heard, all of the schools have their problems. I know several people who were graduates of Marymount (private) who had similar problems with organization. I think the problems with organization/communication at GMU stem from it bein...

   julesjmf posted a topic in Virginia

   most people i know have been able to call the va board of nursing the next day after taking nclex, put in their ssn, and find out that they have a license and therefore passed the boards! i have tried the "pearson vue trick" and i get the response "t...

5. Question re: scheduling NCLEX-RN in VA

   julesjmf posted a topic in NCLEX

   Hi everyone! I am graduating from nursing school next week! I am eager to take the NCLEX-RN as soon as possible. I know that I have to wait until my school sends my transcript to the board of nursing (I'm in VA), but I'm wondering about the turnaro...

   Oh I meant to mention that you do not have classes during the preceptorship period in the summer, but you do have a class during the last part of the summer when you are in your Community Health clinical. We are done on August 6th!!!! :)

   Hi guys, I'm in the program now, so I can try to answer a few of your questions, although they supposedly make changes each year, so I can't promise things will be the same for you guys. First semester, you take a LOT of credits, it's stressful and ...

   sorry, just re-reading the messages above, and it looks like you'll hear in april about getting into the nursing program? also, i didn't realize you'd already sent in your deposit. you may want to contact gmu and see if they can cancel the payment u...

   julesjmf replied to vwde's topic in Virginia

   Yes, it looks like you have SO FAR just been admitted to the university, not yet to the nursing program. Don't panic, though, last year the nursing program didn't send out decision letters until June. I think this year it may be a little earlier, b...

    julesjmf replied to vwde's topic in Virginia

    i can't believe you find out in april! that's an improvement from last year -- we weren't notified until june. as far as gpa, i don't know about anyone else, but i got As in all of my prereqs and i think that's really the only thing that matters. ...

    I think they are very strict on the prereq policy -- we had to send our transcript in by the end of May. If you can't make it to an information session, definitely give them a call and see if you can talk to/email one of the advisers.

12. Any recent grads/current accelerated BSN students at GMU?

    julesjmf replied to julesjmf's topic in Virginia

    I knew you were being funny I just wanted to make sure I didn't come across as if I thought it would be easy. When you say major changes, what types of things are they changing? Do you think it's for the better? Also, a more specific question, we ...

    julesjmf replied to julesjmf's topic in Virginia

    Thank you for your response! I know that we won't have a day "off" and that this is an extremely intensive program, I was just thinking how great it would be to have one unscheduled day to work from home or just to have several straight hours to wor...

    julesjmf posted a topic in Virginia

    Hi everyone, I am looking to get some information about George Mason's accelerated BSN program. Is anyone out there currently in the program? Or graduated recently? I am attending the university's orientation on 7/21 where I am hoping to get all o...

    julesjmf replied to vb2vthokie's topic in Virginia

    I'm going into the Accelerated BSN program this fall and I'm attending orientation on Tuesday July 21 during the day -- I hope that was ok because that was what worked with my schedule. I also didn't know we had to take the TEAS so I'm trying to sch...
