  1. Penn vs Jeff NP programs in Philly

    bailey728 posted a topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi all, I have been fruitlessly doing searches on Penn's and Jeff's NP programs and have not been able to find enough opinions to adequately compare the two. I am specifically interested in hearing...

  2. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think the FACT and 2-yr uniforms are different because I'm almost positive last year's FACT class had the same uniforms as us. Here is what they look like:...

  3. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sneakers are allowed, but whatever shoes you choose have to be leather and all white. I don't know how picky they'd be if you chose a sneaker that has, say, some silver on the side, although I'd...

  5. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Apoptotic, No, you do not have to go to the hospital the night before to write up care plans. I had heard many programs do this but so far, we have not had to (I assume because our schedule is so...

  6. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, you pay the FACT tuition in two installments. We just received a tentative schedule for the rest of the year. In case anyone is interested in exactly how things are structured, here is the...

  7. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'll try to answer these questions. Not sure about the rest of the program (they give us info at the last minute usually so we have no idea how the next quarters will go), but for the first quarter:...

  8. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No problem! I'm glad to help. :) Depends on the person if he/she uses a study group. I know some people who study together regularly every week. The group I tend to study with -- we usually...

  9. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Apoptotic, regarding the PDA, they strongly recommended the Palm TX. You can pretty much get any one you want; the only thing is Jeff IT only supports certain models. I know classmates of mine have...

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sure thing. Pharm book is Pharmacology for Nursing Care Sixth Edition (Lehne). Patho and Nursing Management use the same text: Medical-Surgical Nursing Seventh Edition (Lewis). If you decide to do...

  11. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi again, I currently have three 8-hour clinicals per week. I'm really going to try to get two 12s next quarter because I feel like I have less time than people who have 2/week. I'm on the 7-3 M/T/W...

  12. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the info sunshine. I didn't realize they don't keep track. They made such a big deal out of the weekend thing I figured they would stick us with one sooner or later. AtomicWoman,...

  13. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    bailey728 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in the FACT program now. Just wanted to add to what sunshine wrote. At the beginning of a clinical rotation, you are given a sheet with all of the different rotation units/times/days and asked...

    bailey728 replied to Nova11's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Nova11, Here are some links to threads on Drexel's and Jeff's programs that may help give you some more info (if you do a search, you'll find more, but these seemed most helpful): Drexel:...

  15. Jeff vs Penn NP programs in Philadelphia

    bailey728 replied to bailey728's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Forgot to mention I'm specifically interested in the FNP programs if that makes a difference in the answers to my questions.

  16. Jeff vs Penn NP programs in Philadelphia

    bailey728 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hi, I've been having difficulty finding specific info on Jefferson's and Penn's NP programs. I have heard very little about Jeff's MSN program; I know Penn's MSN program has a very good reputation,...

  17. Jefferson FACT 2008 applicants?

    bailey728 replied to byrd262's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I hope she was wrong too! The person I talked to was someone named Kathy in the finance (?) department who seemed pretty sure of what she was telling me. If this is officially confirmed, I am...

    bailey728 replied to byrd262's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    bailey728 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hi everyone, I recently inquired at Jeff about the work commitment for the FACT program scholarship. I was told that at the time they award the scholarship (before you begin the program) they assign...

  21. Work Commitment for Thomas Jefferson FACT Program scholarship

    bailey728 replied to bailey728's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi JerseyGir1 :) I live in Philly near Penn, so I'm close to center city. I agree with Mystic that it wouldn't be a bad idea for you to commute from your parents' for a year. If money's not an...

  24. Boston College Vs. Thomas Jefferson U.

    bailey728 replied to jc13's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is money the main deciding point? If so, and if you have a gut preference for Boston, then I say go to the program you are most drawn to and deal with the extra cost through whatever means you have...

  25. Why did you pick the nursing school you did?

    bailey728 replied to Mnstn's topic in General Students

    1. Most important factor for me: I wanted a school connected to a respected teaching hospital. This narrowed it down to 2 for me in my area. The other reasons were then secondary. 2. Cost: How much...
