  1. Reputation of BSN nursing schools in Philly

    kdrose01 replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Penn has its Ivy reputation, but they've also built an outstanding nursing program and are ranked with Yale, University of Pittsburgh, University of Washington, UNC-Chapel Hill, and UCSF as the best...

  2. Reputation of BSN nursing schools in Philly

    kdrose01 replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    "So I think some of it depends upon who you talk to, but some schools are more regionally known and others are more locally known." Sorry, meant more nationally known versus

  3. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    kdrose01 replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Nope. I paid my deposit, then went with my gut and decided on Jefferson instead. I begin Jeff in

  4. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    kdrose01 replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sure. There's a link to a pdf within this link.

  5. UPenn Nursing vs. Drexel Nursing Undergrad

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

    It's cheaper than a lot of other schools I looked at! After looking at NYU, Columbia, Penn, Mount St. Marys, and some others, it's half the price! It's even cheaper than Drexel by a few thousand...

  6. Drexel ACE versus Jefferson FACT

    kdrose01 replied to lnr103's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You should also search for the Drexel dissertation, which a PhD candidate wrote based upon her research regarding the success vs. failure of ACE students. It will give you some ideas about what to...

  7. Reputation of BSN nursing schools in Philly

    kdrose01 replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Without a doubt, Penn has the best reputation and is consistently ranked within the top 10 nursing programs in the US. This is just my guess, but I think Jefferson and Villanova have a longer...

  8. Thomas Jefferson FACT BSN Pre-Fall 2011 Student!

    kdrose01 replied to mtngal77's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm not crazy about the idea of ebooks, since I like being able to page through my textbooks easily and being able to refer back to them when needed at a later time. Ebooks are only available for a...

  9. I'm Looking for a Organic Chemistry with Lab Online

    kdrose01 replied to NESHIA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wendy, who did you have? My friend and I have it now, but I have a very easy instructor and she has a very difficult one. I got lucky! She has an extraordinary amount of work, but I don't and am quite...

  10. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If you're in the top 5, I imagine you have a pretty good chance at getting in. People who plan to attend don't always get to, since other things happen (can't get the loans, gets pregnant, spouse...

  11. Question for Philly Area Nursing Students

    kdrose01 replied to AugustRain's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't begin my program until May, so I'm not a nursing student just yet, but I don't see how your services could hurt. It sounds like a good idea, especially considering the amount of nursing...

  12. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thank you so much! I'll try

  13. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, as students at Jefferson, will we have access to the entire medical library, particularly their selection of medical journals?

  14. Choosing between RACC and Reading Hospital School of health sciences

    kdrose01 replied to LindsG's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Well, you already have a good in as a unit clerk. Would they pay to send you to school? It's worth considering! You could even start by just doing the prereqs if you haven't already and some you can...

  15. Choosing between RACC and Reading Hospital School of health sciences

    kdrose01 replied to LindsG's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    LindsG, That is definitely a tough situation and I wish you the best. How about Alvernia? They're in Reading and may even have a part time program. I'd definitely talk with professors/instructors at...

  16. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Aw, thanks, AW! I appreciate it! I plan to start reading Med Calc before the course even starts anyway, so maybe that will help.

  17. Has anyone else applied to Jefferson's FACT program?

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Could you tell me if you were swamped with work the first weekend in June of your program? You don't have clinicals that quickly, do you? I have my 10 year college reunion that first weekend and am...

  18. UPenn Nursing vs. Drexel Nursing Undergrad

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

    Oh, I responded thinking this was a recent post and missed the 2005 date of the initial post. Oops. Hope he/she made the right

  19. Choosing between RACC and Reading Hospital School of health sciences

    kdrose01 replied to LindsG's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If you already have a degree, why would you spend that much to attend a diploma program? You could attend Cedar Crest College for probably somewhere around the same price and earn an actual degree...

  24. Is nursing a good career?!

    kdrose01 replied to Mrs. Sparkle Pants's topic in General Nursing

    I've witnessed the lack of good care within geriatrics (worked in LTC as a high schooler and watched my grandmom decline in a nursing home), so I think it's wonderful that you have such high ambitions...

    kdrose01 replied to nycnurse18's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hiddencat, Do you know how your friends got these jobs? Were Jeff grads hired by Jeff? Did these people know someone within the hospital? Just curious because I'm starting Jefferson's FACT program in...
