Hello all! I will be graduating from nursing school in one month. I'm interested in joining the Army as an Officer and I want to hear opinions from current Army Nurses. What is the pay like? Do they really give you money to pay back loans? Do you ge...

This is in response to "selfsupporting"'s message from today. I knew of people who commuted from Delaware, Atlantic City, Reading, Pottstown, etc. I believe you can catch the R3 train from Delaware and get off at Suburban Station, or if you want to...

Hello. So I'm torn b/w choosing AF nursing or Army Nursing. I heard AF nursing gives you a lot more freedom. I would like to hear opinions from AF nurses, especially anyone that's ever worked at Andrews or Elmendorf. I'm guessing Elmendorf, you do...

I just met with an Army Recruiter and they are now paying back up to $110,000 for three years. Sounds fishy to me. I'm sure they are tacking on a couple more years somewhere in there and just not saying anything. Also met with the AF recruiter. T...

Lunise...what section are you in? We're obviously in the same quarter since you said you graduate in 9 days. Well, in response to the original question, you are going to find people who recommend the program and those who don't, you will find people...

I will be graduating from the ACE program in about three weeks. This program was a huge pain in my ass, and i hate it. it should not be 11 months b/c the students definitely need more clinical time. Drexel is obviously not too concerned about thei...

Hello everyone! I currently live in Philadelphia, PA. I'll be graduating in September, and I just wanted some info on hospitals in AK. I understand AK is more of a remote place than the lower 48. My area of interest is pediatrics. Are there any g...

I'm currently in the ACE program, and I want to shoot myself. I'm in the last quarter and everyone is just so bitchy anymore and there's no fight left in us. It's a struggle to go to school everyday b/c I'm so burned out. I really wish I had went ...

Because I'm burned out from the program. People just seem to be depressed. You hear about people crying all of the time. Plus the added stress of not working for a year doesn't help either. The program just seems to be slightly disorganized. And...

It's very, very stressful and disorganized. I'm sure it's like that with other accelerated programs though.

Temple doesn't advertise their accelerated program since they accept so few people. But it sounds like a great program. I asked the professors at Temple why they don't advertise, and their response was, "We want to see how well we do without the ad...

I applied for the Temple Accelerated program last summer. It's very, very competitive since I believe they only accept 10 people due to the lack of staffing. Besides the application process, you have to do an interview. It's a group interview, and...

Hey. I'll graduate in Sept. from the ACE program. Unfortunately, the program may not accept a 2.3 GPA. A lot of people apply to the program, and Drexel seems to be pretty strict about everything. In my opinion, you don't wanna do the ACE program ...

Hey. I'll be graduating from the ACE program in Sept. From my standpoint, you need to be better at math than science. The only science that seems to be beneficial is anatomy and a little bit of microbio. I don't think you want my opinion on the p...

After reading a lot of the previous posts, I haven't read too many good things about the health system in CO. Has anyone had good job experiences? I was thinking of moving to CO once I graduate, but now I'm really having second thoughts. Anyone?

Hey everyone! I live in Philadelphia but I want to move to Denver once I'm done nursing school in Aug. 07. Does anyone have any recommendations on really good hospitals to interview at? I want to work in Med-Surge. Also, does anyone know anything ...

Thanks so much. I have heard of Lakewood. I was reading some of the other posts about salaries, and the starting salaries are a little disappointing. Here in Philly you can start at $27 - $30/hr. I take it this is unusual in CO???????
