  1. Drexel Ace Fall 2014

    I can assure you that your age will not be a problem. There are currently a few people older than you in the program with me.
  2. I agree with moonchild about starting vaccines now. I have some people who were supposed to start this past spring but had to defer to fall because of vaccinations. But, we are required to get the flu shot. One of my classmates who got Guillan Barre ...
  3. Drexel Ace Fall 2014

    Don't worry about them choosing based on where you live. I'm in the spring 2013 class and we have a TON of people from California and other areas all over the country.
  4. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    I'm currently in N300 and find it difficult because it is so much material as well as the way the questions are worded. We had what they said were NCLEX style in other classes, but these are different. We also have class 2 days a week and clinical 3 ...
  5. Clinicals and religious observances?

    I don't mean to be critical, but from your post it sounds like you are confusing Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which is the fast day. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish new year, not the day of atonement. I was fortunate that my university is modifying our ...
  6. How do you (or did) study for HESI specialty exams?

    I've only taken the Fundamentals HESI so far, but I did well on it, so I will offer what I found worked for me as well as many friends. The best thing to do is make sure you are prepared for your regular exams and make sure you do practice questions....
  7. Med Math...

    My program doesn't have a med math course, but we go review in two courses during our first quarter. Every quarter we have a math test on the first day of class that must be passed with at 90 in order to go to clinical.
  8. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    There are a total of about 130 of us. In Q1 we were split into 2 sections but they split us into 3 sections for Q2 for some reason, which sucks because these people quickly become your family. They don't give an iPod touch anymore, probably because ...
  9. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    We started clinical but only had 3 days on the floor, as we aren't able to do much yet. The only patient care we did was take vitals, bathe patients, and practice assessments. I was fortunate that I was able to help change and clean a wound with my i...
  10. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    My first quarter went really well. I got a 3.65, which I was very happy with. I did get a little burned out toward the end of midterms but quickly got back on track after taking the weekend after midterms off from schoolwork. I love it. They are unor...
  11. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    jl, The ACE program doesn't follow the accelerated calendar. It is the regular quarterly calendar. I started on April 1 and it does look like March 31 will be the first day of class for you.
  12. Drexel ACE Spring 2014

    Yankee, I would definitely contact admissions to find out if they are missing anything from your application. I started this spring and was wondering why it had been taking a while to hear back. Apparently one of my transcripts was lost in the mail o...
  13. ABSN programs in Philadelphia area?

    I am currently going to Drexel University in their Accelerated BSN program. It is an 11-month program in Philadelphia.
  14. Drexel Nursing ACE Program Fall 2013

    Our classes are mostly about 70 students, the exceptions being one lecture and our labs. The facilities are pretty nice. Classes are held at the Center City Hahnemann campus. All of your classes will be with the same cohort. The entire class that sta...
  15. Drexel Nursing ACE Program Fall 2013

    The credits for Drexel are different than most colleges because they have 10-credit quarters instead of typical semesters. The conversion according to their website is 1 semester credit is equal to 1.5 quarter credits, so the 24 credit quarter is equ...
