    jjsrn1 replied to ayanya's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    jjsrn1 replied to carebear91's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    jjsrn1 replied to CupcakeWHNP-BC's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm also an MPH/RN and will be starting a BSN-DNP program this fall. I'll be concentrating in community systems administration instead of becoming an advanced practice nurse. In my program, I will...

    jjsrn1 replied to meghan91's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    In nursing school I used the Littmann Classic II SE in navy blue. It was a good steth for school. However, after graduation I received a Cardio III in plum as a gift and I now use it at my new job....

  10. New grad opening?

    jjsrn1 replied to RNmeee's topic in Washington Nursing

    Due to the economy, I don't know any places that accept new grads "without hesitation." But from my research, many hospitals in the Puget Sound area do hire new grads. A few have actual new grad...

    jjsrn1 replied to lizkid's topic in General Students

    jjsrn1 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  14. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    jjsrn1 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi! I'm currently in the program now. Do not expect for them to give you a full-year calendar on your first day or during your first month. In fact, don't expect it ever. At one point, they were...

  15. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    jjsrn1 replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I feel like I don't have a life in this program either, but it IS accelerated and the instructors constantly tell us that we got what we signed up for, lol. However, I do make sure I work in breaks...

  16. Why do some people assume NS is easy?

    jjsrn1 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    The main reason I decided to go for the BSN is because I know eventually I want to practice as an advanced practice nurse, for which a BSN is required. As well, many major hospitals in my hometown and...

    jjsrn1 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  18. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    jjsrn1 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Everything that AtomicWoman said is true! Be sure to relax and have fun before the program starts because there will be little free time. I don't yet have any friends from other programs, but there...

  19. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    jjsrn1 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I live in Orlowitz, so I don't know too much about Barringer. But I hear it's nicer. Orlowitz is "okay." I live in a 1-bedroom by myself and I like it. It's typically quiet. Mostly a mix of med,...

  20. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    jjsrn1 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm a current student in the FACT program and I echo what AtomicWoman said. Be prepared to get very little sleep, as this program will keep you EXTREMELY busy. But make sure to plan study breaks so...

  21. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    jjsrn1 replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Yea, I also agree that it depends on where you live. More and more major medical centers in my state are either requiring a BSN or strongly preferring a BSN. So, an ADN won't go too far, except maybe...

    jjsrn1 replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

  23. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    jjsrn1 replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    The nursing programs that we have been describing are in the US, not UK. :) Hopefully, one day this "accelerated" concept will spread to more

  24. Is it better to do an entry MSN or BSN if you do not have an RN yet?

    jjsrn1 replied to cacurlytop's topic in General Students

    Cacurlytop: There are different "entry-level MSN" programs. All of them average between 2 and 3 years. However, some offer a BSN and MSN degree, and others offer only an MSN. If getting a BSN is...

  25. Thomas Jefferson university FACT 2010

    jjsrn1 replied to Sun1shine's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That makes sense. I used to have a smart phone, but I'm not very fond of them so I down graded. I also didn't want to pay extra for web access each month. Therefore, I'm stuck getting a pdd. I ordered...
