1. Students for Fall 2014 Tri-C program?

   musaafirah replied to Bubbly26's topic in Ohio

   I submitted for evaluation the day grades came out for Fall 2013 and it mentioned taking about a week before receiving a response. I haven't heard anything and I know I still need to take the HESI so does anyone know if this is probably because of th...

2. job market for new grads-Cleveland

   musaafirah replied to vitalsignz's topic in Ohio

   Does St. Vincent's Charity Med Center hire new grads? What about ADNs? I saw they have some openings and it doesn't look like they require experience (though it is "preferred") and doesn't specify BSNs either...

3. Students for Fall 2014 Tri-C program?

   musaafirah replied to Bubbly26's topic in Ohio

   Thank you! I originally wrote off CSU's program I believe because they did not allow summer classes and would take me longer to graduate than other schools however I ended up going over and taking another look at their program and it definitely looks...

4. CWRU BSN

   musaafirah replied to musaafirah's topic in Ohio

   Thank you for the information. For me, the desire to apply there didn't really have much to do with ranking but more to do with their reputation for considerable involvement in international healthcare endeavors and service learning as that is where ...

5. Students for Fall 2014 Tri-C program?

   musaafirah replied to Bubbly26's topic in Ohio

   Well, I'm about to submit for review and I currently attend Tri-C as a student but I'm not sure if I will end up going there. I'm applying to a few places and will make a final decision when I hear back from them. I'm applying as an evening/weekend E...

6. CWRU BSN

   musaafirah posted a topic in Ohio

   Does anyone have any information on this program, particularly if you're applying as a transfer student? I've heard good things by word of mouth but very little actual detail regarding the program. I am very curious as well, if any of you know someon...

7. Psycho Psych Instructor

   musaafirah replied to Ruba's topic in General Students

   Are you Arab? Is your family from the country you're studying from or anything? Personally, I think you are lacking understanding of the cultural climate in that area. It doesn't matter how bad the teacher was, what you did....going up and getting in...

8. BSN vs ADN in Cleveland/Akron Area

   musaafirah posted a topic in Ohio

   Hello, I've heard a lot of conflicting information but I am wondering what the general consensus is in terms of new grad jobs for ADNs? Are the BSNs pretty much monopolizing the job market now since local hospitals seem to prefer them (and I've heard...

9. New Grad Advice

   musaafirah replied to StudnetAmanda's topic in General Students

   It will help you and definitely makes a difference if you want to be a CNM (just thinking this might be what OP is aiming at since she wants to specialize in L&D).

10. Muslim nursing students

    musaafirah replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    I do agree with the others however that if you think it is possible at all that you don't want to be a nurse at all, take a step back and consider what you might be better suited for. There are plenty of jobs other than nursing that do provide financ...

11. Muslim nursing students

    musaafirah replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    Like the OP, I am pretty strict including in dresscode. I wear dresses, a headscarf, and never do short sleeves. I haven't found it to be problematic in the areas I live and I do think it is an advantage that there are plenty of stricter Muslim women...

12. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    musaafirah replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    I think this thread has certainly spun off quite a bit. I'm not sure how a Vera Bradley tote bag in school = hello kitty scrubs or whatever and not being taken seriously. It seems like you completely jumped to conclusions because a VB bag or pink scr...

13. Muslim nursing students

    musaafirah replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    No facility can tell you that you can't wear your hijab as has been well covered above. Around here, there are enough Muslims that the nursing schools are familiar with the alternative dress requirements. I would say the majority wear a long sleeved ...

14. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    musaafirah replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    Just wanted to thank all of you for your input. I had originally been pretty set on the 'get carried away' bag, especially as one of the first reviews on the website is from someone who used it during nursing school and raved about it. However, based...

15. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    musaafirah replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    Oh, I definitely agree. I am not typically one to spend lots of money on bags but I have a coupon and a gift card so it would actually be more affordable to me than one that is typically cheaper .
