Hi everyone, I couldn't find a thread for Drexel FNP fall 2014 so I figured I would start one so we can all meet/chat ahead of time. I'm currently living in the DC area and I'm excited to be visiting Philly a few times a year. Anyone else out there find out yet?
You mean share the hotel I picked? I was looking at the Sheraton or Penn Inn, but I guess I need to make sure I know which campus it'll be on first. We have a few years to worry about that though.
Right now the OCI isn't at the regular campus. It is at the center city campus this year. There are a few hotels nearby...some with not so good reviews, at least one pricey one but some reasonable options.
Finally registered for classes. It looks like the NURS 500 class has one synchronous class time. Just sharing in case any one has to consider this in your schedule. Our schedule at work already goes out to mid October. :/ it luckily worked out for me. But there's plenty of time to try and switch of necessary.
I was worried about this so I emailed Dr. Tucker a few months ago and she told me it wasn't mandatory until the 2nd year. "The core courses during the first year do not require synchronous
lectures. During the second year (and clinical courses) the courses will
require a weekly, live synchronous session that is held in the evening. "
I hope thats still the case so I don't have to mess with my schedule. I'm still not registered though so I can't see anything yet.

There is no need to go to campus prior to clinicals. You will have your OCI during your clinical quarters and these range from 2-3 days in length. Here's the deal...Drexel has more than one campus and currently the OCI is NOT at the main campus.
