If you are a new grad, I would encourage you to look elsewhere. GW is a hard hospital to work in as a new grad. I came to GW with a year of experience in New York, thinking I could handle DC. My reply is for the general med/surg floor (the only one i...
Macizu, I made the leap three years ago and just finished the BSN portion this month (May). It's a decision i only wish i'd made sooner in life (let's just say i'm a little older). Your A&P will be a fundamental skill throughout your nursing clas...

Hope to meet y'all during visiting day... it's a great way to meet faculty, see some potential classmates, and get your bearings around campus before you actually get here. I highly recommend you coming to visitation day! And who knows, I may get to ...
Question for the 2007 class: Anyone having trouble finding the recommended reading texts? The Henke's med-math is unavailable on amazon. Just wondering if others are finding it and where? Thanks!
