5. SLU Accelerated BSN starting in May 2013?

   malenurseftw replied to as_nurse's topic in Missouri

   Hey Krackley09, apparently I don't have enough "quality posts" to send a PM. Yes, I do like the program! However it is far from perfect. Clinicals are sometimes poorly organized, I've had a couple professors either not show for class or just cancel ...

   I'm currently enrolled in SLU's Accelerated Option. I know I had a lot of questions after I was accepted and seemingly no one to answer them. Feel free to PM me and I'll try and get back to you. It's a very busy time for me (as is ALL of the accel...

    Hello sehartma, I don't have any answers to your questions but I was curious how your search was going. Did you find a job, and if so was it at SLU or in the St. Louis area? I'm a student nurse who graduates in May that wouldn't mind hearing about ...

    I got a packet in the mail today that explains a lot about the orientation, background check, drug screen, etc. It looks like the orientation starts at 10:30 but they ask you to be there by 10:00. Official run time is from 10:00-3:00. I wonder how...

    malenurseftw replied to as_nurse's topic in Missouri

    Unfortunately, swhirls, I do not know. I know the area gets safer the closer you get to Tower Grove Park but it's not the best area (not to mention you'll probably have to walk a mile from TGP). The Saum apartments are on South Grand and looked som...
