   tentay87 replied to tentay87's topic in Post Graduate

   Moogie, I just wanted to say a belated thanks to your response. I don't really know how to use this site. Just an updated, I volunteered last summer in a clinic in South America. It was amazing and I am looking forward to doing more mission-type trip...

2. Northwestern Application

   tentay87 replied to kujomonster's topic in Illinois

   Kujomonster, The students from my graduating class who interned there last summer were told that they were 'welcome to apply' but there was no guaranteed job. One of the girls is waiting for a job to open up in the unit where she interned last summer...

4. Northwestern Application

   tentay87 replied to kujomonster's topic in Illinois

   Hey, I checked my application status and it said "not in consideration." I applied last weekend.... I received an e-mail today saying that they reviewed my application and will contact me by phone if they want to request an interview.

5. Getting a job without connections

   tentay87 posted a topic in Illinois

   Hey all, I will be graduating in a few days. I have started my job search last week (I applied to a few positions throughout this semester) but I am now expanding to include non-RN residency programs. From the forums/stories I've heard, it seems like...

7. job prospects for a new grad

   tentay87 posted a topic in Illinois

   So this has been worrying me for awhile. I'm a junior on a BSN track. I will graduate next May (2011). I don't think I will be getting an internship this summer. I go to school in Central IL but I would like to move back home (to save money) when I ...

8. What should I expect? New nursing student, begining Jan 2010.

   tentay87 replied to Elizabeth Oliva's topic in General Students

   After your first round of exams, (and you didn't do so well) go to your teachers and go over your tests. It really helps a lot because although each exam tests different materials, the questions are usually structured the same way. Teachers want to h...

9. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

   tentay87 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I took Micro after Chem. It does help now that I think about it :) I would recommend asking around within your program and get feedback from people who have taken Micro... I think it varies where you take it and your overall background in bio classe...

10. So discouraged

    tentay87 replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was in the exact same situation you were in. I applied to a top ranked nursing school in my state. My gpa was a little bit below the average (3.5 instead of 3.7), my letters of rec were from a manager at a non health related field and my CNA instru...

11. Has anyone here gotten into nursing school with a 'B' in Anatomy?

    tentay87 replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yes, I got a B in Anatomy and I'm in nursing school right now. It really depends on your other grades (ie overall pre reqs GPA), volunteer/work experience, essays, letters of recs..... Where are you applying?

13. Studying/Volunteering Abroad after BSN

    tentay87 posted a topic in Post Graduate

    I'm a first year nursing student (almost done with my first semester!) and one of my regrets is missing out on studying abroad. Are there any decent masters program that I can pursue abroad? Possibly in England or Australia (or any English speaking c...

14. PharmD student - pursue FNP afterwards?

    tentay87 replied to BSNtoPharmD's topic in General Nursing

    I am almost 100% sure that all NP programs require 1 yr of experience, 2 yr+ preferred. I can't think of why someone would invest in an NP program without testing if they liked nursing first. With me, I'm a first-year nursing student and I'm planning...

15. If you are a CNA in California, Can you continue as an RN in the Philippines ?

    tentay87 replied to markie07's topic in International

    I don't think they will since CNA work is very basic (vital signs, ADLs). Plus ( no offense) they really want your money, so they are probably going to make you take the whole program (4 years... I think they have already changed it to 5 years this y...
