1. New nursing student advice

   Jennybird replied to AlyssaSUNYOrange's topic in General Students

   I used a daily planner, a binder for ppt printouts and took handwritten notes, had a few folders in the binder for more organization. I used my iPhone voice memo recorder for recording lectures- just upload files to iTunes and you have better contro...

2. Attention Goldfarb Students

   Jennybird replied to jab79's topic in Missouri

   Hey there, I'm a Goldfarb grad and there are no restrictions on employment while in school. they just strongly encourage you to not work because you have to commit a lot of your time to school. I didn't work, but there were several students in my c...

3. Barnes Jewish Accelerated vs. UMSL Accelerated BSN Programs. Which to choose?

   Jennybird replied to pcal777's topic in Missouri

   I'm a current ABSN student at Goldfarb. I also chose it for the reasons that stealthkit listed above. I also was deciding between UMSL and Barnes. The programs are competitively priced, but Barnes is a bit more pricey, in addition UMSL factors boo...

   Jennybird replied to nancypants's topic in Missouri

   Update: Wow, I just revisited this page and see that I meant to say that UMSL and Barnes are competitively priced. For the Accelerated BSN: Barnes: $36,694 UMSL: $31,876

   Jennybird replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Missouri

   What schools are you comparing Barnes to? You're going to pay a pretty similar amount in other BSN programs such as UMSL and SLU. Remember that if you're looking at their general undergrad cost per credit hour, this is not an accurate reflection of...

6. Goldfarb vs. Chamberlain

   Jennybird replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's wonderful news! I'm really excited as well. I'm sure things will fall into place for you and it will all work out. My only concern now is to secure enough financing for the program. Since we can only get up to $12500 in fed loans, I'm hopin...

7. Info on Goldfarb/Barnes

   Jennybird replied to nancypants's topic in Missouri

   The programs at Barnes and Goldfarb are actually competitively priced--UMSL is certainly not half the price! UMSL: http://www.umsl.edu/~nursingweb/pdf/academic/bachelors/accelerated-cost.pdf Barnes: Fall 2011 - BSN Accelerated Program Costs - Busi...

   Jennybird replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Ok, turns out Chamberlain does have an accelerated BSN, according to some other posts? This was not made clear on the website to me!

9. Goldfarb vs. Chamberlain

   Jennybird replied to Isaacsmom09's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Chamberlain doesn't seem to have a strong "voice" on the boards. You could try to do a search to find more info from past postings. But, I persoanlly have not heard anything re: Chamberlain. I'm a future Barnes student and I didn't consider Chamber...

10. Stuttering + interview???

    Jennybird replied to nurseypoo87's topic in General Nursing

    I would simply just focus on the interview itself, on your responses, building confidence in what you say, etc. I think this will in general help you to feel less stressed and likely will reduce your likelihood of stuttering. I do think it's a good...

    Jennybird replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Missouri

    I have not heard anything yet, either. My application was complete a bit later than yours, on July 20. They initially told me the processing time is 4-6 weeks! So, for me I'm going on 6 weeks and thought I'd hear back soon, but sounds like I'll be...

14. healthcare cost

    Jennybird replied to link51411's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's unfortunate that the new health care reform laws don't target the front-end of the problem--exorbitant fees for services. Like someone above noted, having medical insurance can somewhat protect you from these costs by negotiating an acce...

15. Lunches: Brown bag or cafeteria?

    Jennybird replied to PediNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    I roll up lunchmeat in romaine leaves, pack a handful of grape tomatoes, and sometimes a hard boiled egg. Handful of almonds/walnut mix. Always fresh fruit-berries typically, loving cherries right now though.
