MoAta · Aug 12, 2009

Hi. I just recieved an email from DePaul today that I was accepted as well into the January master's entry. I'm so excited.

Congratulations!!! :yeah: This is too exciting!!! So how did you decided on going to get a masters in nursing? What is your bachelors in? I am finishing my chemistry major this fall semester at EIU. I am too happy to find out that I'm going to be a nurse!!! :nurse: Is DePaul your first pick... Do you live in the area? DePaul is for sure my first pick and I don't live in the area (I'm from the rural St. Louis area on the Illinois side) but my boyfriend lives in Roscoe Village so I am so happy that we won't have to be in a long distance relationship any more!!! Where were you planning on living in January... or were you thinking that far in advance yet?

Congratulations and welcome!! I'm in the Fall 2008 cohort so I won't be around when you guys start (or are you starting in January 2010?) but I just wanted to extend my congratulations. As with any nursing program, there are a few kinks in the system, and some profs are WAY better than others, but you'll come out competent and motivated (at least I'm hoping to, haha!) Let me know if you have any questions (including for living, I have some great recommendations). I'll be glad to help!

hi Thank you very much. I dont have any problem about living accommodation because I live in chicago. Can you tell me little bit about program and job opportunities after graduation? Thank you again.

IGiveTheShots · Oct 14, 2009

I can't really tell you much about job opportunities aside from the fact that you come out with an RN, MS. The program is quarterly, and you take anywhere from 16-20 credit hours a quarter. Classes have labs and clinicals. Quarters are 10 weeks long so the pace is pretty fast. I'm not really sure what else you would like to know about it, so if you have any specific questions that may help.

Thank you very much. how many hours we have clinics and lectures, means what are time schedules in a week?

IGiveTheShots · Oct 14, 2009

You will find out when you register for classes, that will all change. Each class is usually 1 day per week and range from 3 to 4 hours long (you will have 3 -4 classes, for a total of 12-16 hours of class a week, plus lab hours that might be 4 hours long). Clinicals start out as 5 hours/wk 1 day a week, then as you progress in the program they lengthen to 8 hours, then 12 hours/wk 1 day a week, and at the end you do an internship of a total of 160 hours in 5 weeks (so approx. 36 hour/week).

Thank you very much. we have orientation on 23 october. I donot know when we have to register class. Do you know about credit transfer because I already studied Pharmacology, physiology and biostatistics in my bachelor degree.? Thank you

IGiveTheShots · Oct 14, 2009

No credits will be transferred unfortunately. Our curriculum prepares you for the NCLEX, even if you may have covered some of the material. Just think of it as an easy A!

Thank you I got good information from you. R u doing specialization ? Where r u in the program? I m considered as international student SO I am not eligible for FAFSA. This program is very expensive for me because I have to pay all full fees. So I m worry about job opportunities after this program. Thanks.
