Don't know about the other schools but I think your chances are good at Jeff. I was admitted to their 2nd degree BSN/MSN program with a much lower GPA. In fairness however, I should note that I...

No diploma yet. On the plus side, I did get an interview for a nursing position as a result of having a BSN, which is one more than I got with "only" an ADN. Did not get the job however.

Something does not sound right about what your CC is saying. Assuming your prior BS degree from an accredited institution, it does not make sense that they will not accept prior coursework. I'd...

The preceptor issue is kind of puzzling. As I indicated above, I applied to the MSN program at a local college and recently had my interview for admission. My interviewer took care to state that...

Congrats to all, especially those who journeyed in person to the campus. Anyone have any idea when diplomas might be available?

Thanks to all but I think some further explanation on my part is needed. I was really asking if it is feasible to transition from FNP to PMHNP and what was involved in doing so - not if it was...

I am a second career RN interested in becoming a PMHNP. While a number of universities in my area offer the MSN-PMHNP, all are too expensive for me to attend (I will likely not quality for financial...

That brings up a question: When will our diplomas be available? The reason this is important is because the OU transcript - or at least mine - does not indicate that you've completed the program.

I just read this article. What it describes is not a shortage of workers per se, but a shortage of workers willing to accept: 1) low pay; 2) A high personal injury rate and; 3) A poor working...

In my humble opinion, the gift that most new nursing grads would most appreciate is a job lead . . .

I have a very short ride but if I'm on the powered two-wheeler (BMW Roadster or Suzuki V-Strom - maybe some day the Darmah that needs more than a little love to be back on the road), I look for the...

Though I finished the program last Fall with folks like rninme and mtsteelhorse, I neglected to file for graduation in time for the December and so had to wait until Feb to get the application in. I...

Ha - I wonder how close the "Circle of Trust" is at the OP's facility? On a nitpicking kind of note, I would suspect that the not just the OP's facility but nearly every LTC facility (and hospital...

Thanks Annie. I'm rethinking my move west, at least in terms of timing. I'm planning to start an FNP program this Fall and while theoretically, I could do my clinicals in MT (the didactic portion...

No plan B - right now, I'm all in on Wilmington. I'll reassess based on the outcome.

There is another alternative and that is to buy a used previous edition. I did this for all but one of my nursing classes, never paid more than $25 for a book and often found the text for less than...

Thanks for the sentiment. I have a good grad school cum (>3.6) and a BSN average near 3.9, but my overall GPA barely makes it to 3.0 because of a poor academic record in my first undergrad degree....

I have to say that I agree with the above. The reaction of the institution seems extreme and unwarranted but this seems like such a trifling thing, my first reaction would be to try to find the nurse...

Thanks for the feedback besaangel . I'm aware that tuition is reasonable at Wlimington and frankly, that's why I find the school attractive. I got my application and supporting documents in before...

There are a great many options in the Phila area for the education needed for a nursing career with 5 diploma programs and about 20 colleges offering either the ADN or the BSN (some, like Jefferson,...

I'm considering the Wilm U MSN program but don't really know anything about the college. must less the program. Can any DE residents provide some feedback about either the school or the program?

I agree and if the system continues along the path it is presently on (and I see not reason why it will not), CNAs, MAs and other unlicensed assisting personnel will essentially replace the RN and...

In the US, there is (and has been for some time) a shortage of physicians. While in the past, there may have been some localized shortages of nurses, in most parts of the US, there is now a...

First, let me recommend in the strongest possible terms that you contact an attorney for advice on what is an important legal issue. You need to fully understand the liability issues before...

bushrn75: I'm also in the Phila area. While there are lots of choices locally for the MSN, the programs are either too expensive (such as Jeff and Widener) or both too competitive and too expensive...
