   PacificRim replied to Portlander3's topic in Pennsylvania

   Good news/bad news: I was removed from the wait-list, unfortunately I wasn't accepted for admission. Good Luck to everyone, I think Drexel ACE is a great program and I wish good luck to all the students starting this fall!

2. Can Foreign Nurses get Government Jobs with a Permenant Resident Status?

   PacificRim replied to asiangal's topic in Texas

   The general rule is you must be a United States (U.S.) citizen to work for the U.S. government. So, if applying to work with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, you must be a U.S. citizen and having permanent residence isn't enough. State and ...

   If I'm remembering correctly, previous years' threads indicate that a second round of acceptances will come in March. I was reading with an eye toward coming off the waiting list and the situation may be different for others.

   The NSBN website shows the BSN program to be fully approved. The CCNE website shows the BSN program fully accredited until June 30, 2017. If there any recent bad news regarding the program, I haven't been able to find it.

   I'm having difficulty finding information regarding their nursing program or programs. This page references both an Accelerated BSN pathway and a BSN pathway. However, the nursing school pages reference only one 16-month program. The most current ...

   About one week ago I received a decision. Unfortunately, I was waitlisted...that's not good! I've completed the prerequisites and thought I had a strong application. Next week I'll email Drexel to see if there is any possibility of getting the dec...

8. Drexel ACE fall 2015

   PacificRim replied to Portlander3's topic in Pennsylvania

   Someone did ask about working. IIRC, the instructor answered that working would be difficult, schedule-wise and that she only remembered one student doing it successfully. My take would be that if I were working, I'd keep it on the DL and so the in...

   PacificRim replied to Portlander3's topic in Pennsylvania

   Wednesday's information session went well. Both the admissions and clinical instruction staff seemed professional, open and candid. The prospective students had far more questions than could be answered during the session's time frame. Here are so...

    [h=1]I registered, online, this morning. It seems there may be an opportunity for those traveling more than 150 miles to receive a $500 tuition break. The link didn't work for me, however. [/h] Thank you for regist...

    PacificRim replied to Portlander3's topic in Pennsylvania

    I agree! Typically air tickets get more expensive within two weeks, so it would great to have a decision by today or maybe tomorrow...LOL...I can dream.

15. Drexel ACE Spring 2015

    PacificRim replied to love215's topic in Pennsylvania

    I've decided Drexel ACE is the program for me, so news of a Spring '15 waitlist starting is important to me. My application for that cohort is still incomplete, as my status changed from complete to incomplete. They asked for another transcript abo...
