   I would take Clements for 500, I had him for a forensics class once. I think I had Swartzwelder for ethics. Good luck!

2. Drexel FNP program

   Tibbymc replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NP Students

   I have a year left and love it. The first year is all MSN basics, 2nd year things like patho and pharm, third and final year clinical courses. There are only 2 on campus visits for us and both are a Tuesday-Thursday in Philly. They include lectures a...

3. Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

   Tibbymc replied to Tibbymc's topic in NP Students

   I was worried about this so I emailed Dr. Tucker a few months ago and she told me it wasn't mandatory until the 2nd year. "The core courses during the first year do not require synchronous lectures. During the second year (and clinical courses) the ...

4. Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

   Tibbymc replied to Tibbymc's topic in NP Students

   You mean share the hotel I picked? I was looking at the Sheraton or Penn Inn, but I guess I need to make sure I know which campus it'll be on first. We have a few years to worry about that though.

   Do you have to come to campus at all before the year you start clinicals? I have a hotel all picked out near campus for when the time comes =)

8. Drexel University FNP Fall 2014

   Tibbymc replied to Tibbymc's topic in NP Students

   Ya I saw that, I thought the same thing about studying! Maybe we'll get lucky like Irishizrn and not have to take it. I noticed it said you should take physiology as an elective if you don't do well on the test. So how do yo like the program so far?...

   Tibbymc replied to Tibbymc's topic in NP Students

   I'm the same way. Currently I'm thinking omg I can't do that! But after a few years I sure we'll all feel more confident. I had my "moment" last summer when I was at work....I'm like omg I have to go back to school I can't be doing this forever lol. ...

    Hi everyone, I couldn't find a thread for Drexel FNP fall 2014 so I figured I would start one so we can all meet/chat ahead of time. I'm currently living in the DC area and I'm excited to be visiting Philly a few times a year. Anyone else out there f...

11. Drexel FNP program

    Tibbymc replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NP Students

    Hey Crux1024, congrats! Looks like we'll be suffering together! I'm also nervous as hell, but hopefully by the time clinicals start we'll feel a little more prepared. As far as admissions go, I applied in November and they said I wouldn't hear until ...

    Tibbymc replied to WildcatFanRN's topic in NP Students

    Hi there, I just found out last Sunday I got into Drexel for fall 2014 FNP. I've read a lot of good things about the program so far. I like the idea of campus visits so you can still connect with classmates but not sit in class every week. Anyone els...

13. Is school nursing for me?

    Tibbymc replied to Tibbymc's topic in School

    Wow you just perfectly described my job as well. I think that's most of my friends also. I can identify with all of that except the charge nursing. I interviewed for a spot already, but the only problem is that I wasn't aware that starting in the mid...

    Tibbymc replied to goopsy's topic in Texas

    Try it now if you want specifics, I had to jump through hoops to reactivate my account. This was harder than making changes to my bank account haha! As far as the schools go they're going to have the same curriculum, but I've heard UT Houston has a s...
