    To clarify a few things. The application RWJF scholarship for any current 4th quarter student was matter of days when we started, may have changed for the current 2nd quarters. I certainly didn't get...

    XLFord replied to phill_rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I personally never cracked open the book for Nursing Informatics, but you do need some information out of there. Get the powerpoints, if you are computer savvy...it's probably okay to skip it. If...

    XLFord replied to phill_rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Check your e-mail as it gets closer to orientation day. My book list came the weekend right before that date. So if you haven't set up your Drexel One Account yet, you may want to consider doing it...

    XLFord replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I actually enjoy my clinicals this quarter, perhaps it has something to do with closer to home for a change. I know the feeling, it feels like we are forever playing catch up. But you have to admit,...

    XLFord replied to BrieretheGr8's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    lol...multiple guess...does feel like that on days like today. Drexel does have on campus housing, I hear it's expensive. Parking is...depend on how far you are willing to walk. If you want...

    XLFord replied to phill_rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Actually, I don't think they are missing the Assessment lab. If you guys remember lecture was one day for three hours, and the lab was on another for three hours. Looks like they have it covered. All...

    XLFord replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Does it? Is it me or do you guys actually like the lecturing? I personally get more information from the book than from her lectures. You know, I actually created a master schedule at the beginning...

  14. Drexel ACE Program March 2009

    XLFord replied to phill_rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    More or less true. Clinical are a gamble. You could get a clinical about 20 minutes away from your house, or it's one and half hour away, so it REALLY depends. Starting second quarter, there is...

  15. Waiting for Drexel's orientation information

    XLFord replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Recorded immunization shots are okay, just get your doctor to fill them out. For things like Varicella, my parents couldn't remember whether I had it or not, or whether I had vaccination or not, so I...

  18. Drexel ace fall 2008

    XLFord replied to anthroperson's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You might be better off applying for the Fall 2009 as well. Not to rain on your parade or anything like that, but Drexel accepts twice the amount of students for the Fall than the Spring

  19. Accepted in Drexels ACE Program Spring 2009

    XLFord replied to nursin09student's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just a side note, starting with the Fall 2008 class, the stethescope is actually decent, and you do not have to spend money to get a new one. But if you have a birthday coming up...it wouldn't hurt...

  20. Drexel...what you should know before deciding to go here.

    XLFord replied to nevertellalie's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Someone register all of your classes, so you don't have to worry about any of that. You don't have any choice in which cohort you get placed in, and what schedule you have. You are given a schedule,...

    XLFord replied to Susie08's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    TOFEL wasn't hard as much as tedious. It's the fact I had to do it that annoyed me to no end....the score didn't matter for me. I was done in half of the alloted time. I was just annoyed that I was...
