Start seeking a better position with more support/nicer people to work with while you are there learning. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself against these bullies. You didn't get this far being an idiot, you can and will learn how to do this jo...

Try contacting your local politician's office where you will be moving in PA. Try looking up local Committee Persons, Senator's, Local Representatives. They have helped me with licencing issues in the past. Seems the PA BON is understaffed and backlo...

I currently hold a BA in Psychology and am looking into a second degree in nursing. I have been considering going for my ADN instead of a second bachelors degree. Would this be a waste of time? Would being an RN and having a bachelors degree in anoth...

I was called last week and accepted into the accelerated BSN program at Temple University starting in the fall of 2008! This is after I already made my decision to go to Holy Family University and was all set to go, did not need to do another thing ...

Does anyone remember how long it took to get an acceptance letter from the Drexel ACE program after your application was complete? I applied last year for the fall of 2008 and my application was complete about a month ago and was wondering how this p...

Please don't give up on your dream. If you look at my old posts you will see that I had an undergraduate GPA of 2.29! I have been taking my pre-requisites for the past 2 1/2 years while working at a job I hate and was accepted into an accelerated BSN...

I am starting school in September and have just purchased a pair of Easy Spirit AP1 white leather walking shoes. I have a pair of these from before and they are super comfortable & lightweight. I just want to start off with something that I know ...

I worked for Friends back in 1997-1998 as a secretary for one of the psychiatrists. I don't know about how they treat their nurses. My pay was decent and I loved the nice grounds there, they have a beautiful garden and landscaping. I remember the caf...

Holy Family University has a program for a BSN that can be done at night and on weekends. I did my prerequisites at Community College of Philadelphia at night and on the weekends while working full time. Most of them I could take in the northeast, bu...

I just posted this on another thread, but I just found http://www.mainelyscrubs.com where you can order your own custom inseam up to 37" for an extra 3 dollars.

I just found http://www.mainelyscrubs.com they will let you pick your inseam up to 37" for an extra 3 dollars. I haven't ordered from them yet, but am going to give them a try as I am 5'10" and need at least a 35" inseam.

I did really lousy for my undergrad (2.29 GPA!) long story, switched majors a few times and had to withdraw due to a near fatal car accident. Anyway this was over 16 years ago. For my prerequisites I have a 4.0 for 7 classes done within the last 2 ye...

Hey thats great!!! Drexel was my first choice but they turned me down. I spoke with Temple yesterday and they said that I will receive a letter soon. Now I am having cold feet! I feel like I am getting married or something. I guess I will be marrie...

The interview was a group interview. This was for the accelerated BSN program. There were only 7 of us there (I believe 12 were scheduled). I was told that they only accept about 10 students out of around 90 applicants, although they were trying to g...

I have an interview with Temple University for their Accelerated BSN program for the Fall 2008. Anyone have any ideas on what to expect? The interview is scheduled for an hour and 1/2 with one of the nursing instructors. I hate interviews!

Hey good for you! It's a good feeling to be accepted. I was accepted to Holy Family University for the fall of 2008 but am awaiting a reply from Temple University now. Everyday I check the mailbox. I am taking my prerequisites at CCP. If Temple is a ...

Just wanted to let you all know that I have been accepted to Holy Family University for the Fall 2008 program as a transfer student. I am still waiting to hear from Temple for their second degree accelerated BSN and will go there if I get in. I am r...

I did not get in. I received my letter last week and was denied admission. I am disappointed but am trying to believe that this was just not the program for me. I will be applying to other schools now and trying to concentrate on my remaining prereq...

I believe that Drexel Univeristy has a pretty good reputation here in Philly, I am not sure about the nursing school though. I know the ACE program has only been up and running since like 2000. The old nursing school was at Hahneman Hospital I think....

This is also the only school that I have applied to so far. I am getting ready to apply to Temple. That is where my original degree (Psychology 1992) is from. My GPA is really low, 2.29 but I have earned all A's in my prerequisites so far (I have a 4...
