Hey Gents, I will be leaving for Drexel University's ACE program in a few quickly approaching weeks. They said we need to have all white, leather sneakers or shoes. They can't have any other colors in them. This leaves out crocs, etc. Does anyone ...

I took the HESI yesterday and passed! A lot of weight is now off my shoulders. Now onto the NCLEX!

Pupule, We didn't have anyone from Hawaii in our program but we did have about 4 people from California, 1 from Washington, and 1 from Oregon. The large majority were from PA, DE, and NJ. Curiosity, I believe we started with around 88 or so. We hav...

I have a big foot and the XXL crocs fit me well. They say they're for 12-13 shoe sizes. This post was started a year ago by me. I went with a pair of all white Nike shox which have served me well. I'm beginning to search for jobs because I'm gradua...

Oh yeah I forgot to add, I'm not sure about placements for the last graduating ACE class, but I have ran into a lot of past ACE grads at hospitals where I had clinicals. They were all great nurses and have all said that their employers love ACE grad...

Pupule, We have about 3 weeks left in the program right now. A couple already have jobs lined up but I've heard they have good connections that got them in around the philly area. No matter what school you're from, job placement in the philly area ...

Pupule, I had a good experience with the ACE program. You'll hear a lot of people complaining about it but I just chose to distance myself from them. Any accelerated program requires 100% commitment from the start. You can't let yourself fall behi...

I'm ready to graduate from an accelerated BSN program within two weeks. Out of 70 people, we have 8 guys so

Good luck with your decision. I've been on the floor with students from both schools. Both schools have a great reputation. I'm in my last two weeks of the ACE program at Drexel Univ.

Just talked to the director of public safety at HACC. . .he said that HACC tries to do a PHRN program every two years. If interested, call and put your name on the list. They will run it as soon as they get enough people enrolled in the class.

To any ACE'ers entering their 4th quarter. . .any advice for 2nd quarter? I can tell already that Monday's and Tuesday's are going to be loooooong days. The classes don't seem too terrible (so far) but it looks like there's going to be a lot of wor...

I heard that Harrisburg Area Community College has a PHRN program don't they? Or they had one in the past. . .

You will learn about it during orientation. The lady who's in charge of insurance does a big talk about it. No matter what, you must have health insurance prior to starting the program. I kept my own insurance rather then taking theirs because I t...

I graduated three years ago with an Environmental Studies degree. Worked for two years for State government and wasn't happy. I've been an EMT for a hobby for 6 years and figured why not pursue healthcare a few steps farther? I'm now in an acceler...

Scrubs01, I'm wearing the navy Landau cargos now too and I love them. I'm a big guy and they're comfortable.

Fayemotui, I'm just about ready to finish my 1st quarter. I've only had one clinical site so far which was Lankenau Hospital, on the outskirts of Philly (actually in Wynnewood, PA). I drove but others road the train with some walking involved. Nex...

There's always spring semester too. There were 84 of us that started in March. We're down a few people already due to various issues. I think they take around 120 to 130 people in the fall classes.

The sole reason why I moved into Stiles was convenience. I only have a one block walk to class. Everything's included so I don't have to worry about utilities to pay, etc. The apartments are pretty small. I live in a 2 bedroom and my room is a 10x...

oh yeah, there are other lots that are probably cheaper. I was warned that some are pretty shady though especially if you living downtown and leaving your car in lots overnight, etc. I just chose the lot due to it's location and security compared to...

I am currently parking my car in the garage right across from the New College Building (where the majority of classes are held). I pay per month at a rate of $240. Daily will cost you around $15. I live in campus housing (Stiles Hall) so I leave m...

the only thing that i'm really stressing about right now is the upcoming math quiz next thursday. My math skills aren't the greatest. I like how they call it a quiz but they give 60 minutes for it. I guess I'm just freaking out because there is so...

Thanks for the words of wisdom! Today went pretty well I suppose. Informatics seems like it won't be too bad at all. Health Assessment I'm unsure of just due to the fact that the prof breezed over 7 chapters today already! Tomorrow's assessment la...

haha! I've been printing out syllabus's and ppt's all day since class has been over. Now I guess I better start reading! Where to start??

wow. . .so much reading to do already and it's only the first day! To the ACE'ers that have been around the 1st quarter block already. . .any suggestions? What to prioritize, what to really read vs. skim over, etc? Your help's greatly appreciated!

hahaha...well i have a mac so i'm screwed with syncing it to my laptop. I'll have to use the computers in the lab. I am busy trying to get all my stuff together to move. I can't move into student housing at Stiles Hall until Saturday.
