  1. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thank you so much for all that detail! A couple of questions: how many hours per day or week do you study? Do you have 2 clinicals/week or 3? How long a commute do you have? (I'm in S. Jersey.) Have...

  2. Clinical sites in Philadelphia

    AtomicWoman replied to chaxanmom's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't know any of the hospitals in the Willow Grove area. WG is about 40-45 minutes from center city Philly, IF the traffic is decent. (Which it usually isn't!) Some Philly hospitals are: Thomas...

  3. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    How are you finding the program? I know you just started at the end of May. Does it seem overwhelming? Do you have

  4. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    AtomicWoman replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm reviving this thread to see if any of you helpful people who posted know the answer to this question: can you choose to do 2-12s for clinicals, or is it out of your hands whether you do 2-12s or...

  5. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    AtomicWoman replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    If you go the nurse-first-then-doctor route, cast your net widely when applying to med. school. I hate to say this, but SOME med schools will look down on someone trained as a nurse, no matter what...

  6. Wait list vs. no wait list

    AtomicWoman replied to JettaDP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    But the OP has to factor in how much s/he would make as a nurse during an additional 3 years of employment versus how much s/he would make doing something else while waiting. That could tip the...

  7. I Got the Minimester A&P II Blues

    AtomicWoman replied to Absolutely13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was also going to suggest a face-to-face meeting. Maybe the prof. can suggest something you can do to earn extra credit. Maybe he is clueless about how important this class is to your chances of...

  8. Extern? Preceptor?

    AtomicWoman replied to goodgalpal's topic in General Students

    Some hospitals around here are cutting back on extern

  9. Hrsa 08-09 Nursing Scholarship

    AtomicWoman replied to geteducated123's topic in General Students

    Note that your SAR says your EFC has to be $0.00. If your EFC is more than that, they won't even consider

  10. Chemistry Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The chemreview.net is essentially an 800+ page book with lots of problems and very clear explanations that you can download (in pieces) for free.

  11. Chemistry Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Math skills review: http://www.chem.tamu.edu/class/fyp/mathrev/mr-algeb.html There are also reviews on significant figures, scientific notation, etc. You can find them by scrolling down to the bottom...

  12. Having major concerns going the FNP route....

    AtomicWoman replied to jlcole45's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Dixiecup, where do you live (approximate locale)? Just curious where NPs are in much demand.

  13. Hospitals in South Jersey

    AtomicWoman replied to MelodyRNurse's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Cooper Hospital in Camden is big, and it is a Level I Trauma hospital as well. There's also Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden and Virtua as well. Virtua is a growing hospital group (hospitals in Camden...

  14. Help me from getting discouraged

    AtomicWoman replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't let his discouraging words discourage you if being a nurse is what you really want to do. However, maybe he's just trying to open your eyes and that's not such a bad thing. We *are* hearing more...

  15. Getting a MSN without a BSN

    AtomicWoman replied to tracie0305's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    OK, I just took a peek at the Vanderbilt program. It's essentially the same as doing an ABSN and then going right into your MSN program, similar to what you can do at the school I'm accepted to. The...

  16. Getting a MSN without a BSN

    AtomicWoman replied to tracie0305's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Anyone know of any programs in the southern NJ/Philly/Delaware area? Drexel has an RN-MSN program with a very short bridge (3 courses, I think), but they want you to have 2 years experience as a nurse...

  17. Any Np wished they went to PA school?

    AtomicWoman replied to RN28MD's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Where is said PA forum, url-wise?

  18. LaSalle University

    AtomicWoman replied to rodeo417's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't give you any insight into their program, but you might want to check their NCLEX pass rate, which runs about 80%:...

  19. Biology and Chemistry

    AtomicWoman replied to jjnRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took A&P and Chem at the same time. It wasn't difficult, but it was occasionally stressful when I had an exam in both classes on the same day! Time management rules...

  20. Patrick Leonardi study guides?

    AtomicWoman replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They are good if your prof. gives a lot of multiple choice exams. If you have a prof. who gives lots of "label the diagram" exams, they won't be helplful. They are good for reviewing main/important...

  21. Micro Fall 2008

    AtomicWoman replied to NYC Nurse Wannabe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NYC, I replied to your post in the Micro Heads Up thread. Micro is a great course. It's so interesting you won't mind working hard. Check out my post for online sites to give you a leg up. Good

  22. Take Two Science Pre-Reqs at Once

    AtomicWoman replied to rozlips's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Key question: does your Chem II class include any organic or biochem? Or is it strictly Inorganic Chem II? I'm in Inorganic II right now, and I have to say, it wouldn't have mattered which other...

  23. New Grads - where is there a nursing glut?

    AtomicWoman replied to spudbunny's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Since I am in the Philly/South Jersey area, this discussion (which has been very helpful, thanks to all you posters) has made me realize that when I start nursing school, I *should not* assume I'm...

  24. Any older people in pre-nursing?

    AtomicWoman replied to Dancinagain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome. :) My plastic apron got some stares the first day, but after that it was no big deal. Not that I gave a rat's backside what anybody thought of my plastic apron. At least *I* didn't...

  25. Micro Heads Up!

    AtomicWoman replied to rayele's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NYC, see my post at the top of page 2 of this thread for some great websites. Also, read my other post to see how to prepare in advance for Micro. Micro rules! It's a lot of info, but no way is it a...
