    Getting critical care experience will be way more important than having your NP in terms of getting accepted into CRNA school. Here's some advice from a local CRNA program:...
  2. Should spelling count?

    I am a former college English composition teacher. So yes, spelling and grammatical errors make me cringe. My students used to ask me why I was such a stickler for proper spelling and grammar. I would...
  3. Benya, you would be surprised what you can grow on a back porch or small deck, if you have one! For growing things like tomatoes, Earth Boxes are awesome. But if you can't afford them, regular old...
  4. Some random money-saving things we've done around here (hubby has been disabled and unable to work for 2 years, so we are well-versed in thriftiness, LOL!): Got rid of the TV a few years ago. That...
  5. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    Anyone who's planning to go to Jeff's FACT program hear anything from them lately? I've been accepted, but that's about all I've heard. When I originally got accepted to the APW program last year, by...

    Greenland, if you want to start in 2010, the application will be available online either late August or early September 2009. You want to fill it out and get all your materials in as soon as possible,...
  7. A friend of mine had all As and Bs in her ACE courses. But she failed the HESI exit exam twice. When she was getting ready to take it the third time, I thought she was going to have a nervous...
  8. Jefferson BSN Students?

    Check LaSalle out, too. And Villanova if you can commute to Villanova. I don't know what their deadlines are/were,
  9. Layoffs!!!

    Glad to hear the folks are more friendly there! What kind of facility do you work in? A hospital, or something else? I'm sure the pay is different in NJ, but is it decent for the area you work in?...
  10. TEAS, HESI, NET nursing entrance exams

    Every school's requirements are different. Check the requirements for each school, and follow-up with phone calls if you have any questions. One school I applied to would only let you take the exam...
  11. Nln Prep Book

    no. the nln and net are actually quite different. the nln has way more science on it, including physics. the best prep for the nln is the mcdonald book on amazon....
  12. ERI's NET Study Guide worth the $30?

    Speaking as someone who took the NET and who bought the study guide, it's definitely worth it. If you can get it for less, great. If not, order it from Amazon and choose expedited shipping so you get...
  13. Jefferson BSN Students?

    jwalk, are you on the waitlist for the regular 2-year BSN program? I know for a fact that at least some students who were on the wait list got in last year. In fact, one of them was because I changed...
  14. Nursing student taking drugs

    My goodness, there are an awful lot of high horses trotting around this thread... I have better things to spend my energy on than worrying about whether a fellow student smokes pot. UNLESS that...
  15. A&P book question

    Email the prof. I was in this situation in microbiology (regarding the text, not the lab manual.) I emailed my prof and he wrote back, "Save your money! The old one will do just fine." My guess is...
  16. Transcript Request Hell

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed for ya! I know this is too late for you, but when I applied to nursing schools, I had my former schools send ME the official transcripts. The nursing schools actually...

    To this almost-51-year-old student, 44 sounds really, really great!
  20. Anyone use Secrets of the TEAS exam by Morrison Media?

    All the Morrison Media nursing entrance test-taking guides are the same. They just change the name on it from the NET to the TEAS, to the HESI or whatever. The guides are too general to be of any use....
  21. Layoffs!!!

    2bTrauma, were you a lifelong resident of NJ? How was it at first to move from NJ to WV? Do you live in a rural or more urban area? How do you like WV overall? Sorry about all the questions... my...
  22. Best Organizational Tip For Surviving Nursing School

    What Loner said. :) If you're going to start your search soon, you might want to post potential addresses here and get opinions about the area. Don't overlook Craig's List as a source of rentals. A...
  24. Layoffs!!!
