  1. lump sum payment at end of camp?

    nanagose posted a topic in Camp

    Hi everyone, I am an RN just hired for my first camp nursing job this summer (8 week camp). My contract states that I will be paid in a lump sum upon completion of the camp. I've never had a job...

  2. Fingerprint card for RN endorsement

    nanagose replied to garfield1910's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    To get the cards, fill in the online form here: http://www.state.nj.us/lps/ca/nursing/inforequest.htm They will send them to you via mail. Take them to your local police station and have them...

  3. oh so now we PAY to do residency to get a job?!?! seriously?

    nanagose replied to bymysoultosqueezeRN's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Whether it's during school or after, that preparation you are talking about has to take place in a hospital, at the bedside. The hospitals that are fighting back about having to provide additional...

  4. Admission Chances in nursng with a F?

    nanagose replied to DannyA's topic in General Nursing

    Chiming in to say that I also got into nursing school with an F on my transcript, in organic chemistry. The school didn't say anything about it and neither did I. An F never looks good, but having on...

  5. New GN's Question About Resume and Reference

    nanagose replied to HappyMeNow's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having a little bit of the same problem since a lot of online job applications require you to type all that information in the little boxes. Once you put down *some* information for an employer,...

  6. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    nanagose replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Some complaints that people have about Drexel are that the administration can be uncooperative and the program is very intense. I had a positive experience like some others here, and I thought that...

  7. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    nanagose replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    This thread is now huge! But I don't think anyone has answered you yet. In my first degree, I tested out of "English 101" and ended up taking a couple of upper level English classes... "Historical...

  8. Drexel University-ACE Program Fall '09

    nanagose replied to BrieretheGr8's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I probably spent about $1200 for the whole year. You don't need all the books that they "require," and lots of the textbooks are on reserve at the library. Use your judgment and be careful about...

  9. New grad with no clinical skills

    nanagose replied to malone2192's topic in General Nursing

    My school has emphasized clinical hours and skills, but it just depends on where you end up. Some hospitals are better than others in terms of "letting" students do things. I've worked with some...

  10. Wondering About Accelerated BSN

    nanagose replied to cheesetoe's topic in General Nursing

    It's frustrating. I did my anatomy and physiology separately, but in the end the anatomy class wasn't counted as having enough of a lab. I couldn't find a school that offered just plain anatomy with...

  11. Drexel University ACE Spring 2010

    nanagose replied to BibaBibaa's topic in School, College Programs

    This is key!!! An 87% on a HESI is not the same as an 87% on a regular test. You can get several questions wrong (out of 55) and still walk away with a 99% on the HESI subject tests. So appearances...

  12. What is the atmosphere like at the Drexel ACE program, just got accepted.

    nanagose replied to engineeringdude's topic in General Nursing

    All of the classes award letter grades. Clinical courses have more credit hours attached to them and carry more weight in the cumulative GPA than, say, an ethics or informatics class. However, there...

  13. anyone here get a degree in psychology?

    nanagose replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    My first degree was in psych. Halfway through my program, I realized I wanted to go to nursing school, but my university didn't offer a nursing major. I figured transferring would add on another...

  14. Accelerated RN Program

    nanagose replied to lslkim's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of information are you looking for? I'm at Drexel's 11 month program, and I like it. Many people don't. It's intense and challenging - a LOT of information to cram into 11 months. My...

  15. What is the atmosphere like at the Drexel ACE program, just got accepted.

    nanagose replied to engineeringdude's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't say there was inflation or deflation with grades. The means on tests hover around a B, so I'd consider that an average grade. There is no curve, but the professors will throw out...

  16. What is the atmosphere like at the Drexel ACE program, just got accepted.

    nanagose replied to engineeringdude's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats!! I'm in the third quarter of the program right now. The gender ratio is pretty skewed, although there are some men. If I had to throw out a wild guess as to numbers, I'd say maybe 10%...

  17. Advice needed about Drexel's ACE program

    nanagose replied to marie_ash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the first quarter of the program right now, which people say is the easiest. It's really not that bad. If you have good study habits, it is completely doable, and I know many students who...

  18. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    nanagose replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hey, I was just wondering if anyone had ordered their uniforms yet. The email from Kelly Myrick was a little bit vague about the coats, and the website has a few options. Do we need one short one...

  19. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    nanagose replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    So glad to see that there are other people here from the program! I am also finishing up ethics and A&P II now also - definitely looking forward to the end of those so that I can enjoy the rest...

  20. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    nanagose replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi Geomar! I'll be entering Fall '08 too - happy to meet someone in my class on these boards! I wish they would provide some way for us to connect before starting in the program. There was some...

  21. Drexel ACE Acceptance

    nanagose replied to whitehat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Fouzia, So sad to hear your news! Definitely try again for spring - the admissions people told me many people re-applied for spring and were accepted. Be sure to keep us all posted! If nursing is...

  22. Drexel ACE Acceptance

    nanagose replied to whitehat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Fouzia, thank you so much for your warm congratulations. I too am so thankful that we have this forum - I would feel so lost without everyone's support and advice! I will graduate this June from...

  23. Drexel ACE Acceptance

    nanagose replied to whitehat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I got my letter today - it was an acceptance. The best Christmas present, for sure! Fouzia, I would call if I were you, ASAP after the holidays. You should have heard by now no matter what the...

  24. Drexel ACE Acceptance

    nanagose replied to whitehat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I called and she said that I should get a decision letter by Christmas. So I'm crossing my

  25. Drexel ACE Acceptance

    nanagose replied to whitehat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I called and they told me to fax unofficial transcripts - she said she'd take a look and get back to me as to how I should proceed. Emailed, didn't get a response, emailed again a few days later,...
