    Meredith09 replied to celclt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Thanks for the replies! Since I've grown up in an area that required a 25 mile drive to school every day, I really don't see the driving thing as that big of an issue. I would prefer to be within...

    Thanks Med It still hasn't sunk in yet. I'm spending my little remaining summer reviewing A&P and Pharm stuff so I can hit the ground running. I did my BLS certification back in October, and I...

    Meredith09 replied to celclt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Iv, I guess I'm what Vandy terms pre-specialty, as I do not have an RN yet :-) Some other schools call that direct entry, so I get confused every time I hear that question, lol. Have you found any...

    Meredith09 replied to celclt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Meredith09 replied to celclt's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm kind of scared to call and bug them at this point, since the last time I sent them a perky little "update" email with some new (and dare I say, fabulous, grades ) he was like, "thanks, we'll let...
