  8. Drexel ACE'rs placement rate

    AtomicWoman replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  13. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I had hooked up with T.H.E. last year, when I was supposed to start the other BSN program at Jeff. Even though I didn't start the program, I liked T.H.E.'s customer service. They actually answer the...

  14. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Pianitra, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic? Did your "aid" consist of "here are the federal loans you qualify for", like mine? :) I planning to apply through T.H.E. and Discover:...

  20. Student Uniform - My Gosh!

    AtomicWoman replied to Meg_student's topic in General Students

    I had the same reaction some other posters did, although I didn't put it in my original post. It looks like some male fantasy of what nurses *should* wear. I think one of the posters referred to it as...
