  1. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    climberchick, I have an idea of who you are, but I'm not certain. Anyway, you've done an absolutely PERFECT job of summing up important details. The new class will find these details incredibly...

  2. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The iPad is great for watching Netflix while you're at the gym relieving all your stress. Seriously, sometimes it comes in handy, though I'm really not a fan of it for academic purposes. Some of my...

  3. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    One more thing, I did a tremendous amount of research on these boards before beginning this program and no amount of what I read on here prepared me for the program. The idea is to go in knowing that...

  4. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm currently in the program and saw a few comments by Sato (not sure who that is in my class, though) and thought I'd offer another perspective, since we all study and learn differently. I actually...

  5. Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    kdrose01 replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

    Shah, Thank you for an insightful comment. I don't want to pass judgment on another culture or condemn them as being awful people - I don't think that. However, I'm not sure that Saudi women have much...

  6. Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    kdrose01 replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

    No problem. It's easy to confuse all those husbands and wives. Thanks for the clarification! Interesting story on that link.

  7. Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    kdrose01 replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

    Really? That's not what her memoir said. Where did you hear this? As I recall from the book, it said she met and fell in love with the Bin Laden brother in Europe and they married. Her story sounded...

  8. Saudi Arabia - Good Idea or Not

    kdrose01 replied to 43RN20's topic in General World

    I'd also recommend Carmen Bin Laden's book "Inside the Kingdom" for more details about what it's like to be a woman in Saudi Arabia, particularly if you're a western

  9. 2015 DNP

    kdrose01 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I don't look at the DNP as being a savior for the nursing profession; I see it as a doctoral option for NPs who want to earn a doctorate that is geared toward leadership positions and will still allow...

  10. 2015 DNP

    kdrose01 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I'm currently in an ABSN program after spending years climbing the corporate ladder. During my time in corporate America, I've never heard of anyone being accused of "drinking the Kool-Aid" because...

  11. 2015 DNP

    kdrose01 replied to BabyLady's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I think that's really sad, since the debate about the title "doctor" extends far beyond the medical profession. Many physicians want that title designated only for them and not for scholars who have...

  12. Jefferson FACT program 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm in the FACT program. I love it. I have no life. The professors are awesome and so supportive. My classmates are an amazing bunch of people, who I feel lucky to have met and spend my LONG days with...

  13. the university of pennsylvania school of nursing?

    kdrose01 replied to dyslexicandetermined's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That's actually somewhat incorrect. While you're correct that it's not known like Wharton is, Penn has one of the most well regarded nursing programs in the country and is consistently ranked among...

  14. Child Psych? Your opinions...

    kdrose01 replied to nursemelyn's topic in Psychiatric

    Thank you so much for posting this response! I've just had the lousiest day on the clinical floor and was considering dropping out of nursing school, but this description matches me exactly! Now I...

  15. Best and worst states for new grads?

    kdrose01 replied to mysticpenguin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    " They have 5 schools here that offer 2 year contract positions with Baptist hospital which also pay for your entire tuition" I'm sorry, but WHY would you want to give this up?! Tuition for my...

  16. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congratulations! You found a job quickly! Can you offer any advice on finding a job so quickly? I graduate in May and love it so far! The faculty are just wonderful, so I completely agree with you....

  17. Best and worst states for new grads?

    kdrose01 replied to mysticpenguin's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm so happy to hear this, since I've been worried sick about finding employment after graduation next year. I'm in an ABSN program, so an externship is pretty much out of the question, but it still...

  18. Moving to Philly.Need help with programs

    kdrose01 replied to IndecisiveInMiami's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    For what it's worth, I'm currently in an accelerated BSN program, and all I hear on the clinical floor is that hospitals are not hiring new grads unless they have a BSN. Considering the glut of...

  19. The "dirty" side of nursing...

    kdrose01 replied to jordanl's topic in General Nursing

    I just wrapped up my 4th clinical day, and I have to say that all the things that I thought would really freak me out on the floor haven't felt anything but natural. I haven't been disgusted yet (a...

  20. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm also a current FACT student. I live on my own, am single, and saved and saved for this program. I worked full-time (long hours) and went to school part-time while completing the prereqs, so I had...

  21. Thomas Jefferson University

    kdrose01 replied to Haleycarolyn5792's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I just started their FACT program and love it! The faculty is fantastic and they really root for you - they want you to succeed. The location is great too. I'm in a different program than you'll be...

  22. Nursing shoes for overpronators

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Wow. Thank you, all! I see I have more choices than I thought! I will spend some time this week trying on these brands and seeing what works best. Thanks

  23. Nursing shoes for overpronators

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks! I'll check those too. Are you an overpronator? I just need something that offers a great deal of arch support or that will allow me to fit my

  24. Choosing a Nursing program

    kdrose01 replied to shuttlin's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would visit all and see which feels best. I'd take into strong consideration the financial aspect, since I'm assuming you'll have student loans. I don't have student loans from my first degree, but...

  25. UPenn Nursing vs. Drexel Nursing Undergrad

    kdrose01 replied to i-heartnursing's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I second shuttlin's response. Go for grad school and save yourself the financial headache. There's no reason to give all that money to Penn just to jeopardize your financial future. You won't be paid...
