Just thought I would check to see who else might be applying for Spring '09?

So, if UPMC is so terrible (The DarkSide...as one called it) what are the other hospitals in the city to work for? What schools have a good RN to BSN program, other than Pitt? I grew up in Ellwood City...loved my childhood there. I love the area, th...

Also, 11/4 is an RN to BSM/MSN info session in the evening-6-7:30.

I was wondering how you may have fared in your externship or pursuit of one? I will be starting my nursing program in January and would love to find a similar oportunity in the area. (Balt.) Do you have any advice for me? Thanks!

Me either. I have a previous undergrad with a 2.6. I had a 3.47 or so in the 59 pre req's that UMB requires. I also had a 4.0 in all of the core sciences that they require. I know they look at those very closely, so focus on those if you can. Oth...

At this stage of the game, all you can do is wait. There will be people who choose to forfeit their spot, and then they will be systematically opening up spots. Try not to let it eat you up. I know how stressful the process is...I'm walking throu...

That is really affirming too. I am currently deciding between a spot in a BSN program and a scholarship paid ADN spot. Duh? Why I am confluxed is beyond me. I understand that it will take longer for the BSN but in the end, it will cost me next to...

Kiero..., I know how it feels to get yourself all worked up over something. It likely doesn't make you feel any better but, it will work out somehow. Have you applied anywhere else? Do you have a back up plan? Sometimes your "first choice" really mi...

Thanks everyone. I have to decided to mail in my letter declining the university offer. I finally got a hold of someone in FA who confirmed to me all that I had researched on my own (no free $ for me) and while singing the praises of the low intere...

Would anyone like to give their opinion, please. I am deciding between a BSN program and a CC program. The CC program would cost me almost nothing ($2500) b/c I have gained scholarships there. The BSN has not shared any information re: aid yet, but...

Last year, there was a huge long thread on the JHU ABSN progra. Do a search for JHU, Hopkins, John Hopkins...on the forum search.

First, you will receive your acceptance letter which will tell you that you are required to place a non refundable tuition deposit. I'm a little unnerved by having to put a large down payment down without having any idea what the FA offered might be....

You need to go to a session or email the coordinator. The RN to MSN page is really quite confusing. It looks like it takes a similar amount of time but that is only because the page doesn't list the 28-40 credits you need in addiyion in your special...

If I were young again, 20k would be relatively small. What i didn't mention, is that this is second degree, I have a family, and my husband and I both want to begin spending more time focused on the various urban ministries that we are interested in...

Thanks for the info on the skin tag...I was just been advised to try the dental floss route by some family memebers but think i will stick with the friendly derm.

How long is the winter session? Our winter session's (AACC) are only two weeks and I don't think A&P is offered in that format.

Bee76-aren't you already in the program? or do I have you confused with someone else? I'm wondering what happens next. I haven't allowed myself to consider it until now. I guess we get a package with directions? Any insight?

My application status has been updated to Decision made, admit institution also!!!!! Whooo-eee! I think. Are we sure this means we get in? Can I call my friends and family? What a dork I am. Yikes. I'm stunned.

Yeah!!!! Congrat's to you! Yes, I was told they do stagger, but the fact that they have made some decisions is good! I really, really want to know. If I don't get admitted I'm going to drop Algebra this semester and take it over the summer. I'm k...

Is your acceptance posted???

You can begin by looking and asking questions under the Nurse Midwife forum under advanced practice in the specialties tab. They might have some reral world info for you. Also, the ACNM web site is very helpful. They have tons of job listings that ...

I am getting ready to begin NS. I don't have firsthand experiance but have ask the question myself. What I have heard is a resounding NO! ADN grads do not have a problem getting a job. Where it varies is that some have told me that the BSN might ...

It's absolutely possible, but be diligent. If you're like me, Algebra does not come naturally. If I get the slightest bit behind, I get panicky. Plus, Algebra is one of those classes that really builds on itself. You need to have the beginning st...

No, it won't harm you at all..unless ofcourse she had terrible things to say about you! Someone ask this question in one of the info sessions I attended. They said two is what they request, but additional ones will be read and considered. Your Psy...

Hmm...first you need to clarify what type of midwifery you speak of. Nurse Midwifery is the Masters level which requires (almost always) a nursing undergraduate or portion. Nurse Midwives are employed by hospitals, birth centers, and in private prac...
