Oh, absolutely. That, plus a better externship, or maybe previous work experience or a resume that looked better than mine. But I'd absolutely bet on them knowing someone on the inside, too. That's...

I know how you feel. A lot of my classmates and I applied to the same New Graduate Nurse Residency Program at a hospital that is very friendly to grads from our school. Despite having the same if not...

Whoa now everyone. I only wanted to point out that discrimination towards ethnic/minority names occurred in the hiring process (and backed it up with sources). Please don't go pointing out that life...

Curious - are you volunteering? I am planning to go this route myself. Has it helped you make any connections (that lead to job opps)?

I don't believe anyone would deliberately or blatantly discriminate that way (by tossing a resume strictly based on the name). But in the face of many, many applicants per job, they might narrow...

No matter how many self-righteous managers and nurses might deny it, there is still plenty of discrimination against job hunters with ethnic names. All you have to do is Google to find plenty of...

Hey there, I'm from the 2011 APL program, so I can answer that for you. While the traditional program is slower and includes more classes, many of those classes are things like socialization, nursing...

Aw, you guys are a semester after me! (I started in May, and am in the APL program.) I wonder if you guys have to buy the same stuff that we did? Because I definitely didn't use most of it this...

This reminds me of an article I read in the New York Times about how the market is being saturated with law school graduates - just because a law school exists, or that it accepts you and your money,...

Hey guys, if you're having trouble finding the facebook group page, why don't you just post the URL? Then everyone can click on it and then request to join.

Runnermom - oh man, I totally just saw your post on the JU thread saying you were accepted! Congrats! So now you have three schools to choose from? I was the Asian girl in our interview group....

Waitlisted! :( Oh well, UNF - here I come. Congrats to everyone else though! Please let us know if you were accepted!

FLmomof5, what school did you go to? I've applied to both UNF and JU but I still can't decide! I've been told to pick the school with better clinicals, but since there are so many hospitals in Jax,...

Hi guys, sorry I'm late to the party. I interviewed at 9:30am in group 4 and was also accepted to the Accelerated program. Congrats to everyone else for getting in too! I'm also waiting for...

Hi guys, I just spoke with Chris in person today and as of yet letters have not been mailed out. He said that there was an unusually large number of applicants this year so it's been taking longer....

Is anyone deciding between UNF and JU? UNF requires you to RSVP by 8am Monday the 28th at the absolute latest, so if JU sends the letters out too late then you really have no basis to decide. I'm...

So I just checked my Degree Evaluation...yep, they're still using Animal Physiology II as my anatomy prerequisite. What's going on? I'm really worried that they would slip up on their choice of...

Yeah! I finally got a reply this morning. She said everyone would be updated by next week. Hopefully this also includes my GPA though? It's a .4 difference, which is huge. They used gen chem for my...

Ly55flipz, what time did you interview? I was there on Monday too! :) By the way everyone, I asked Chris how many seats were open for the 2nd degree students. He clarified that there 41 seats for...

Wow, I am really glad I checked this thread. I went onto my myWings account and went onto the "Degree Evaluation" tab...they used the wrong course to calculate my prereq GPA! (Since I am a bio major...

At this time of the year, most of us nursing school hopefuls are about to deal with interviews with our school of choice. Does anyone know what kinds of questions they'll ask? For those who still...

Hi guys! I've been following this thread for a while and finally got an email for an interview next week! I'm also applying for the second-degree program, so I'm sure transfers will be next. Does...
