2014 Jefferson FACT Applicants

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hey y'all! Who else is applying to Jefferson?

Hey Suivezmoi89! Im looking into the APW program now. I was just accepted to the FACT on Friday but felt like I need time to decide. After speaking with a Former APW person I realized that one) I enjoy my freedom and life . 2) I wanted to build more connects before leaving and 3) why am I rushing for something that I will be doing my whole life plus more. After doing job research I see it is a disadvantage to do an accelerated program because 1) no exp equals less job offers 2) yes being in a BSN to MSN program is good but Rushing to be an NP without exp caps your $$$. BSN are not salary vs NPs who are salaried... so I hope this helps and hopefully you will be a) my classmate or b) happy Nursing student at TCU. Good luck! :-)

PS: We should start our own thread! Hopefully you get in.... it would be nice to actually find other APW students and find out why and how they are handling their admission. I have yet to make it in stone but I THINK I want to do APW officially...

Hey PaFW

I have decided to go APW instead of FACT. I know very well its longer but after looking at 5-7 weeks of classes and thinking to myself about the struggle of constant non stop work it didn't work out for me. Plus, I know it sounds weird but I thought classes were a tad bit longer but after speaking with a guy who attended that APW. I was told they all do the same thing -- Take a packet of exams all at once! Then quizzes every week just seemed too overwhelming for me even during a 12 week course but a 5-7 week course is even more scary. puu! But go onto FB and put in FACT 2014 you should find the class

Hey PomLin,

I get what you saying... I know it will be tough. But in my case, I want to be done with this part as soon as I can, eventually i want to do nurse anesthesia program. Hopefully... But I am happy for you, you know what will work for you best. I joined FACT group on fb. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

Hey guys! I just turned down my FACT spot (even though I already paid the $500 deposit in November-which sucks!), but hopefully it opens up a position for someone on the waitlist. Good luck!! :)

hey kgrl! what change your mind?

Hi PomLin! I got in to another program which was my first choice-so I took that offer. I was sad to turn down Jefferson though! It seems like such a great place:)

Hello everyone! I just got invited for an interview at Jefferson for the APW program this fall. Any helpful tips or suggestions for the interview process? I've actually never had an interview for school before so kind of nervous for what to expect!

I did too anniebananee, my interview is set for the 26th of March. Earlier in the thread someone posted some of the questions they had asked them in the interview, but I will repost them

why jefferson specifically, in comparison to other schools?

What's something you can take from your undergrad degree that can help towards nursing?

philly is a very diverse city, are you comfortable with that? What's your view on being in the city?

What are your hobbies?

what is one thing unique about yourself?

what do you think will be a challenge for you in school?

the interviewer really wants to get to know what you're like besides your grades and schoolwork. So I'd just recommend preparing yourself for those questions and being honest with them is key! Have fun and really engage with the interviewer.

Hello FACT students,

Does anyone need a roommate? I am relocating from GA and currently looking for housing close to the school.

Hi Suivezmoi89 and anniebananee,

Good luck on your interviews. I was accepted into the APW program for the Fall 2014 start and would love to find and connect with others who are also in the Fall APW class.

Well I had my interview today, and got accepted. I'm in Texas, but I was lucky enough to be able to speak with Mark before the interview as well as at the open house recently when I was visiting the area. I'm still waiting to hear back from some of the public universities in Texas so I'm not sure if this is a place I'm going to go, but it very well might be. :-)
