1. How to obtain job as Diabetes Educator?

   NetteNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi all, Question... I'm confused as to how to transfer into a specialization as a diabetes educator. When I look at job postings, it seems every potential employer wants somebody who is already a certified educator. However, when I look at the quali...

2. Georgetown ABSN Fall 2011

   NetteNurse replied to LizLemon's topic in School Programs

   Hi all, I'm reading through the WHC scholarship contract and it trying to sort out if maternity leave is covered during the program. I think they said so during the Q&A for the WHC scholarship, but can't remember specifically what was said - does...

   Thanks, very helpful!

4. Georgetown ABSN Fall 2011

   NetteNurse replied to LizLemon's topic in School Programs

   Hi Pokytrokyt, Quick question - for non WHC scholars, would you say you're very likely to find alternative funding for the program (i.e. other loan reimbursement programs) or are most stuck with the full cost of the program? Do the bulk of the loans ...

5. Marymount Accelerated Fall 2011

   NetteNurse replied to Mamz1's topic in Virginia

   Hi all, I'm trying to decide between Marymount and Georgetown. Couple questions... 1) Without the WHC scholarship, I'm thinking Georgetown is way to steep, but they did impress me with their simulation facilities. I haven't been over to Marymount yet...

   I don't think it would be as late as August... The brochure indicates mid-April for issuing the decisions. Granted, they are behind just in getting out the admissions decisions, but I don't think they'd make people wait that long to issue scholarship...

   Not sure about the decisions - supposed to hear back before the deadline to submit your decision and deposit, but that's late May. I already have a deposit into one school I'm guessing I won't get back as it's non refundable after May 1.

   In as well - but not letting myself get too excited as the scholarship makes or breaks whether I go there...

   Can I ask - which other DC area school did you get into?

11. Georgetown ABSN Fall 2011

    NetteNurse replied to LizLemon's topic in School Programs

    Adding to what I wrote before...I do think one other major advantage of Georgetown is that they would potentially make you better prepared to feel like you have some semblance of knowing what you're doing than other schools. I assume I'm going to spe...

    NetteNurse replied to LizLemon's topic in School Programs

    i question how useful those rankings are. if you pass the nclex, you pass the nclex. for instance, i've heard much, much better things about marymount's program that they overhauled in recent years vs. catholic's program (and that includes input from...

    NetteNurse replied to ktg2122's topic in Washington DC

    I thought Marymount can be done in less than that? The website vaguely says four semesters, but I've read elsewhere on allnurses.com that it can be done in 16 months as one of the semesters is usually over the summer. Are they no longer doing the sum...

    Thanks... unfortunately, moving is not an option as my fiance and I bought our home and put a lot of work into it over the past year, and prefer not to sell. Looking at google maps, and considering traffic, I'd anticipate the drive to be an hour and ...

    NetteNurse replied to ktg2122's topic in Washington DC

    Does anybody have any opinion on how commutable GWU's nursing school is from DC? I live in the city and cannot move, and Loundon VA seems a far drive when some of their classes start as early as 7:30am. I'm also worried about whether I'd have to do c...
