1. How is the job situation for RNs and LPNs near Philly area/suburbs?

   lovelymama replied to missa8182's topic in Pennsylvania

   Not sure on the other hospitals you mentioned, but at least for Bryn Mawr, (which is part of Main line Health, along with Paoli, Lankenau, and Riddle), they announced a while back that they were only hiring BSN, so you won't be able to find a job the...

2. My prereqs will take ...3 years *sad face*

   lovelymama replied to beyondtrouble's topic in Pennsylvania

   The Villanova BSN express has micro as a pre-req (well, it's micro, cell biology or genetics) so I'm not sure your current proposed schedule will work - you need to get micro in there at some point. (see pre-reqs here: http://www.villanova.edu/nursin...

3. Anyone going for IBCLC?

   lovelymama replied to MamaRose's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm taking the exam this year, following pathway 1 - I've been a LLL leader since 2001. The application for pathway 1 is very specific that you cannot count any lactation-specific clinical experience or breastfeeding-specific education from priot to...

5. Chemistry Fall 2010

   lovelymama replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm 33, with 4 boys (11, 9, 6.5, and 4) It's been very challenging finding time to study in between all their stuff! I'm taking nutrition also this semester, and not enjoying that class at all (but I think that's because it's online, and I really en...

   lovelymama replied to FutureRNVaNess's topic in Pennsylvania

   updating...got a 92 on the teas, yeah! I'm shocked, since I studied for all of 3 days before the test. So, when do they usually send out the acceptance letters? I'm already antsy , and I know it's going to be a long while before we know anything, l...

7. Chemistry Fall 2010

   lovelymama replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   doing awesome here! I'm actually enjoying this class, which is funny because I expected to hate it! (all that math eck!) I got a 99 on the first test (next highest grade was an 89, so I'm pretty darned happy about that; especially since I'm a good...

8. Mom thinking about going back to nursing school... NEEDS ENCOURAGEMENT!!!

   lovelymama replied to JenInSchool's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm a 33 year old mama of 4 boys (11, 9, almost 7, and 4 next week!) doing pre-req's now for an accelerated BSN, so I'm encouraged reading all these posts! I've been a SAHM since my first was born; though I've been running my own business (I'm a kni...

9. Chemistry Fall 2010

   lovelymama replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I didn't think that the Mastering Chemistry was too bad; and I like that there's the possibility of bonus points! (I've done the first two homeworks and gotten the bonus pts on both - hey, every little bit helps that GPA, right?!) It definitely takes...

10. Chemistry Fall 2010

    lovelymama replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Unfortunately, that won't be the case at all. Sig figs will be a part of all the labs, and any calculations you do on all the future tests; at least, in my class that's how it is. Once we learned sig figs, the prof said that every single answer we ...

11. Villanova (answer me please....somebody)

    lovelymama replied to DLC-CNA-MA's topic in Pennsylvania

    I'm sure that it is a specific class, not just any theology class; so you'd definitely have to find out specifically what the course is to ensure that a class from somewhere else would transfer. Delco is Delaware County Community College - the main ...

12. Villanova (answer me please....somebody)

    lovelymama replied to DLC-CNA-MA's topic in Pennsylvania

    Obviously, you can take them at Villanova :) Eastern, Immaculata, and Delco also offer classes that will fulfill Nova's requirements. at Eastern and Immaculata, they'd be in the Theology department, at delco I think it's in the Philosophy department...

    I'm going to go to the info session tonight, and hopefully can get the TEAS scheduled soon, will probably only get one in though so i'm going to hope for the best! I'm taking Chem 110 with Ed Miskiel, and Bio 220 (nutrition + well being) online with ...

    I'm taking pre-reqs at dccc this semester, and was originally planning to do my BSN/MSN somewhere else (I've already got BAs in political science and english) Have been thinking that it would be really nice to save the boatloads of cash and do dccc ...
