    Hopkins...Who Else is Applying?

    Asherah replied to SFChef's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The ABSN has more applicants (at least in the past 5 years) and thus is a bit more competitive if you consider the sheer numbers v. the available spots. However you are the correct if you mean that...

    Anyone getting ready to apply for Fall 2009?

    Asherah replied to CarinaBallerina's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your GPA is very competitive for the BSN program and based on your volunteer experiences, I would doubt very much that you wouldn't offered admission. If you are waiting on Hopkins to give you notice...

    Hopkins...Who Else is Applying?

    Asherah replied to SFChef's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Accepted cohort size can range from a low of 120 to a high of 150, just an FYI. Of approximately 1,000-1,100 applications received to both ABSN and Traditional BSN programs, 600 are applying...

    What is the characteristic of a community?

    Asherah replied to *IshTudEnT Nurshe*'s topic in General Students

    Seriously? Not to be harsh, but we're not here to do your homework for you. Your entire posting history here at AN (all of three) reflects your desperate need for help without even listing what...

    Is anyone else thrilled???

    Asherah replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    Include me in the group that feels a novel kind of excitement, of course being only 11 weeks into a two-year program. My peers are amazing and for the most part very supportive of our collective...

    Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN 2009 Applicants!

    Asherah replied to karrie8o3's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You may want to ask a mod to move this to the Graduate Student Nurse forum as the Graduate Nurse forum is primarily focused on topics for nursing students who have already graduated from their...

    Paper due and clueless about APA style research papers!

    Asherah replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    Utilize the Cochrane Library for current evidence-based practice research. We get full text articles from the university, I'm not sure if you have to pay as an independent user....

    Have BBA & MBA, schooling options? Work/School/Money juggle!

    Asherah replied to blueelle's topic in General Students

    Nursing programs across the country recognize the demand coming from all demographic populations as well as that of non-traditional students. However program curriculum often involves a fine balance...

    question about withdrawing???

    Asherah replied to hushpupgrl's topic in General Students

    Yes, some colleges/programs can potentially hold excessive withdrawals against you (especially in the core science pre-reqs) and those programs that use points systems as the basis of their admission...

    Clinicals???

    Asherah replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    We are assigned to neuro/rehab units for our first semester clinical (1 day/week), second and third semester we have 16 hours per week x 7 weeks each in Psych, OB, Med Surg/ICU and Peds. Final...

    U of Michigan Flint - Second Degree Program/CRNA

    Asherah replied to nursestudent11's topic in General Students

    The best thing to do is contact their admissions office and ask them! Most schools will clarify exactly which criteria they examine for their program and how heavily GPA is weighted. They will also...

    How many tests have you taken so far??

    Asherah replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    We've had one quiz in Health Assessment, one quiz in Nursing Trends & Issues and the first exam of the semester is coming up tomorrow for Principles & Applications of Nursing Interventions....

    Why are we learning all this stuff?!?

    Asherah replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    We also use Health Assessment & Physical Examination by Jarvis and I've found it incredibly detailed and helpful. I wouldn't say that its a text intended for NP education only. My only comment...

    So. Californians please help: Having a meltdown trying find a school!

    Asherah replied to joliemolie's topic in California Nursing

    Saddleback College (Mission Viejo) admits half of their students on a merit-based points system. Finish your pre-reqs with a 4.0 GPA, take some (or all) of them at Saddleback or Irvine Valley College...

    Why are we learning all this stuff?!?

    Asherah replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    I understand what she meant, I'm trying to get some clarification. If the school is truly incompetent enough to order advanced practice textbooks then perhaps it isn't a program worth attending, or...

    Why are we learning all this stuff?!?

    Asherah replied to JillFRN's topic in General Students

    Perhaps you could expand a bit on what you mean by "all this stuff"? If you can describe what you're actually spending time on and if you wish to know if you will actually use it, experienced RNs who...

    CPR certification?

    Asherah replied to twoanddone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The school/program will always tell you which option satisfies their requirement. I wouldn't use the recommendation of anyone here as you want to make sure you comply

    Asherah replied to bayyinah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The Purdue Online Writing Lab is the best free resource I have found on the web.

    hesitations about nursing

    Asherah replied to Nurse wanna-be's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only way to know is to gain experience, dive right in...obtain a CNA certification or volunteer as the previous poster stated. If you begin working with patients your comfort level with the...

    Prerequisite Order A & P

    Asherah replied to Bo Shoi Ming's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought it logical to master Anatomy prior to tackling Physiology, based on the fact that I preferred understanding structure before

    Admissions Statistics for Competitive Programs

    Asherah replied to Hopkins_undergrad's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would recommend using the advanced search option (top right) to search for the schools you are hoping to get more information about and find some AN users who are current students or alumni....

    Rankings for Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN

    Asherah replied to swhwang's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, there is no such ranking. US News & World Report ranks nursing schools/programs in general and also ranks by specialty at the graduate level. Each school offering an ABSN program will offer...
