I'm 1st semester right now at Forest Park. I have no complaints and am very happy. My only negative however is that all things being equal, I think it might be advantageous to start in the fall....
It's great. I really like my classmates, several of whom I'd taken prereqs with but never had realized we were going to end up in the same class. And my lab prof is really great. The fundamentals...
Hi lovescoffee. I'm currently a p/t PCT and hope/expect to start the 1yr accelerated BSN program in Jan '10. I would love to maintain my p/t PCT employee status but that requires a min....
Woohoo! Got my admission letter and dropped it off today at the office!! I'm very excited and just a little scared of it all. Anyone else out there starting this January? I can't
I gather you're in the 1-year (or is that 15 months?) accelerated BSN program? Prior to starting, did you do comparisons with the Barnes/Goldfarb 1-year accelerated BSN program? And if so, what were...
I have to disagree with the first 2 replies. Being a PCT is a great experience - an eye opener and a good way to familiarize oneself with many of the basics of nursing and hospital floor nursing in...
Woohoo!! That's great - congratulations l2rl, and enjoy your preceptorship. You're so close to being finished! (or maybe I should say, to beginning... :)) I'm
We had our orientation Thursday and we got the flyer - I'm signing up on Monday for the "Prep for Success" 2-day workshop. It sounds like a smart thing to do. Btw, orientation was great: Cheryl...
Hey! You're kinda like me, and I say go for it. The books and the courses are of course a big part of it and will give you insight about what you're getting into. But I strongly recommend you find...
So it would seem the first couple posters were wrong in their presumption of a left-leaning bias in the allnurses population, at least to the extent that in 2004, apparently we were just slightly to...
Check out this BJC link which lists NS graduate internships and fellowships. http://www.barnesjewish.org/employment/default.asp?NavID=3179 I don't see anything specifically for Childrens but maybe...
can you refer me to any link online? how did you discover this info? i've searched the stlcc websites w/o luck... the only orientation meeting i've received info on from the school is for 2 hours...
Our first meeting (for the Jan program start) will be in mid-November, but it's just for a couple hours. To my knowledge we have nothing else scheduled. Still I really hope they'll offer something...
They really want nursing students and students who are accepted and about to start nursing school - I'm, of course, in that second category - but simply "applying" is rarely enough for getting any...
I'm sure they're both great programs, but I'm sorry to lose a future Forest Park classmate! I wish there were more local students online at this website... wonder if allnurses.com promotes itself at...
Thanks again WDW! I've been away from the forum for about a week. This is great info too! I will definitely sign up. I can't wait for orientation. And thankyou doeRAYmee and nurs2be09! And see...
Thank you WDW for your comments - I/we really appreciate it!!! And hello STL2008!! Glad to know there's at least one more person out there. Anybody else??? Btw, if you or any current students have...
Ah, sorry. I'm not a student there but I did meet someone this summer who is starting the 2-yr weekend/night program in January. But anything's possible - maybe they're changing their programs. I'm...
