  1. How many of you have used the anatomy/phys/microbiology COLORING BOOKS?

    AugustRain replied to emily_ganshert's topic in General Nursing

    I was a big fan of the Kaplan ones. The pages weren't too cluttered with information so it was easy to work with. Time consuming, but well-worth

    AugustRain replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Me too Loner! My application was on hold and I didn't know it...I knew someone who got in weeks before I did and was convinced I wouldn't get in. Best feeling ever when I got my acceptance (actually,...

    AugustRain replied to BrieretheGr8's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Another vote for go ahead and apply. I was accepted into the program with 9 pre-reqs in progress, which I completed over a fall/spring/summer and finished about 3 weeks before the deadline. I...

  5. Survivng Drexel ACE - advice pls!

    AugustRain replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    AugustRain replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks, I'll be glad when next week is over! Don't put too much stock in the negative posts, people are more likely to come here to vent than to tell you how great their day was. And try not to get...

  7. Survivng Drexel ACE - advice pls!

    AugustRain replied to CalicoKitty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well, Loner, I'll give this a shot, but it's a few days before mid-terms, so not sure how coherent it will be. From what I've seen, a large part of how successful you'll be in this program has to do...

  9. Drexel-HESI

    AugustRain replied to rofo4life's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The ref desk at the library should have copies of most, if not all, of the books required for classes. I don't know if they're all the most current edition, and you can only borrow them for a few...

  10. Need advice for A&P

    AugustRain replied to nurse2b2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The thing that helped me most with A&P was forming a study group. Having the different perspectives was so important to being able to understand the test questions. Some of the things we did......

  11. Getting rid of student loan-Loan Forgiveness-New York

    AugustRain replied to jaja1234's topic in New York Nursing

    The only place in the city I can think of is the VA Hospital system. Other places may give you a sign on bonus that you can put toward loans, though. Workin--loan forgiveness isn't the same as...

    AugustRain replied to nursin09student's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    my answers in blue above. also, a good tip i got from a student ahead of me was to make copies of everything you submit--it can be disorganized at times, but as long as you have a copy, you won't have...

  14. Accepted in Drexels ACE Program Spring 2009

    AugustRain replied to nursin09student's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Have you considered living in Stiles? Right across the street from Hahnemann, lots of ACE students there. Since clinical assignments aren't based on where you live, we tend to do a lot of commuting...

  15. I love being a nursing student but I hate my book.

    AugustRain replied to souhila's topic in General Students

    I used P&P and hated it too. Definitely check out the Reviews & Rationales book for Nursing Fundamentals, it was really helpful and comes with a CD of NCLEX questions. The made incredibly...
