Hello, I graduated nursing school Dec 2012 at 6 months pregnant. I got a job doing flu shots/corporate health screenings. I also did some home health for 8 months but I didn't really feel comfortable out on my own as a new grad with next to no traini...
We just started our psych rotation and I'm having trouble choosing and prioritizing my NANDAs. Would anyone be willing to put in their 2 cents? Dx: Bipolar I Disorder, Most Recent Episode Mixed, Severe With Psychotic Features Pt has persecutory delus...
I apologize. I would never want anyone to do my homework for me. I'm 2 weeks into my second semester and this is my first cancer pt. I'm looking to do a concept map with the start of the disease and ending with metastasis to bone and anasarca. I'm...
Did you ever figure this out? I'm trying to put together a similar concept map for prostate cancer, metastasis to bones, pleural effusion and anasarca.

Hello all, For those accepted and planning on attending, it looks like we need to either enroll or waive the student health insurance by Sept. 30th or else we are automatically charged. Does that apply to us? Also, it looks like we might be charged ...

Finish your prereqs. I know we need to be CPR (Healthcare Provider level) certified. Make sure you're up to date on all your immunizations: MMR, Hep B, Tetanus, you'll have to do a 2 step TB. Other than that I think we have to wait for futher directi...

My assumption was that the $19,000 they are charging in tuition is for the 2011 school year. My guess is that we'll get a similar bill for 2012 since we are split over 2 academic years. Is that right?

Hi EMM, I am from the LA area too. I actually live in Moorpark, CA. I'm also really unsure of the housing/transportation. Everyone has said University City and Center City are the best places to look. I really hope to find reasonable rent in Cent...

I just paid my deposit! Eeeeeeee!!! See you all in March. Any tips on finding housing? I've never been to Philly and I'm in California...is Center City the area I should be looking?

Does anyone know what Philly's job market is like right now? My husband works in post production in Hollywood, so I doubt there's a lot of work like that in PA. What's the average salary for someone with a bachelor's degree and a couple years work ex...

I did get accepted, but I'm still trying to decide if I am going. My other options would be junior colleges in Southern California (Associate's programs.) They are way cheap, but you have to wait your turn for a 2 year program. I would be able to st...

I feel like they take the most qualified applicants first and then wait to see how many spots they have left. Then they start taking the more average applicants...like me (My GPA is closer to 3.0 than 4.0.)

I called and left a message with Fran last Friday just to ensure all my transcripts have arrived, etc. I never heard back from her, so I called the general admissions line yesterday. They confirmed that they had everything and that my app was under ...

Thanks for the insight XLFord. Would you mind sharing how much the program cost you after all tuition, fees, uniforms, books, etc. etc? Ballpark would be great. I'm hoping to use mostly savings, but I'll have to supplement with loans, I'm sure.

Hlelstone, one of my acquaintances went through the ACE program last year and graduated. She actually recommended me to stay away! She says its very intense without any sympathy. You must maintain very high grades and test scores throughout the progr...

I applied last week and assume my transcripts are arriving now. This is my second attempt applying to Drexel. I applied for Fall 2009, but I didn't have a lot of my science pre-reqs done and they lost my transcripts so I was late in applying. But I'...

Congrats j450n! (and everyone else accepted!) It looks like they lost one of my transcripts, so I had it resent last week. *crosses fingers* As far as housing goes, I'm from California and I've never been to Philly. I'll probably look for something p...

So I'm a little confused. I had all my materials into Drexel prior to Oct. 15. I've received 2 letters and an e-mail stating that my application was complete and was being reviewed for admission. Yesterday I get a letter saying that my application wa...

Is anyone still waiting on an acceptance letter for Fall 2009 entry? I see that quite a few people have already received their provisional acceptances. Congratulations to everyone, but I'm getting nervous!
