Drexel ACE Spring 2014

Olive,

You're fortunate that you're hubby's schedule is flexible. My hubs is a police officer with a rotating schedule (days and nights). He is very supportive and I know his heart will support me but I worry if he can maintain the pace of Mr. Mom. My DD is 10 and my DS is 8. My parents and inlaws still work. My siblings are useless for childcare. Perfect storm for drama. With WCU I only have to depend on me, which is how I like it. UMDNJ has some attractive midwifery programs and their accelerated bsn is the same length as WCU but I would pay out of state tuition. So the cost isn't that different from Drexel. ACE student and Alumni support is unmatched hands down. We know what to expect on exams and such from all those who've done it before. (Thanks NurseTina and Jillyplot!) I can't wait to check out the facilities on 8/13. Drexel seems to have the accelerated bsn down to a science. There's barely a murmur lately on allnurses about any other programs unless I missed something. NurseTina or Jillyplot, what's your Q2 schedule like? How much time are you spending out of class studying? Any late nights with class or clinical? My apologies if this has been answered before.

I just realized that Q2 will be over the summer for the Spring cohort. That is great! There's no homework from summer camp and my chiclets are so tired they go to bed by 8. Plenty of time to study! Woot woot, even the smallest victories excite me Lol.

Nursing school is nothing but late nights studying Lol! Get ready! Not to scare you but it gets crazy. I was physically sick for 6 months out of the year due to nursing school. The professors put alot on you because there is clinical work plus classwork... Clinicals can be morning or afternoon and they may be close or far away from your house... Yes, it is literally crazy!! Lol

Hi megan, I was also accepted into Spring 2014. I'm really looking forward to it. I got my BS from UC DAVIS in California...So I will be moving to Phili In March. I recently finished Computers applications but I will also be taking ethics in Fall. I'm very glad this forum is here. It really helps to meet everyone and share useful information.

Hey Ajaek,

This will also be my second Bachelors and I thought you couldn't qualify for financial aid but Im glad to hear that you can. !2,000 is better than nothing. Did you just apply through FAFSA? or did you actually contact the school and go through some different route? Please let me know I would really appreciate it. Or anything else in terms of best loans to take out etc.

I received my award letter. I am receiving 0 dollars, absolutely nothing! ugh bummer.

Yes, when should we start with all the immunizations?? I paid the deposit a few weeks ago. It seems very overwhelming to complete everything on time.

Hey RobynPSU, where are you finding this calendar!?

Hey all, I was also accepted for Spring 2014! I'm applying for financial aid this week and feel nervous about everything we have to get done before we start. I know some of the immunizations take months since they're in a series. Has anyone done the HIPPAA training yet? I'm trying to see where I can do that. I deactivated my Facebook awhile ago but I'm planning on making a new one if the group on there is helpful. Good luck to everyone!

Congrats! I just joined the spring 2014 group, just because it is great to make sure I stay on top of everything, there is so much we need to get done!

Does anyone know if the Nook is compatible with the ebooks? I read on an old forum that the ebooks were only compatible with iPad/iPhone/itouch and laptop but they were working on having it accessible to other tablets etc.
