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

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hey all! I had my interview today and will second that Niki was super nice and easy to talk with. She also gives a lot of information about the program that I hadn't read on here, so that's useful...

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congratulations! I have an interview on Monday. I'm very excited!! Jefferson's my top choice at this point. I really wanted to go to NYU, but their tuition is ridiculous! Jefferson has a great...

  6. Villanova (answer me please....somebody)

    kdrose01 replied to DLC-CNA-MA's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Don't wait for November; call now, so you can possibly drop/add if

  7. Villanova (answer me please....somebody)

    kdrose01 replied to DLC-CNA-MA's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Why don't you call the admissions office and ask what transfers? Then follow-up with an email once you've found classes you'd like to take and have them respond IN WRITING that they're transferrable....

  8. Best places to live when going to school at Villanova?

    kdrose01 replied to Graysie's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I didn't attend the VU program, but some of my friends from college did. Our college required religion classes, so they completed them there. I don't know if community colleges offer religion classes,...

  9. Drexel University ACE Program Fall 2011 Start

    kdrose01 replied to Jensters's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't think you're offending anyone. I completely agree that some schools have more difficult programs than others, and you should be proud that you've made it through a tough program. Since...

  10. Drexel University ACE Program Fall 2011 Start

    kdrose01 replied to Jensters's topic in School, College Programs

    I'd have to disagree with that. While earning my first degree, I took several classes at neighboring universities in the Philly area and found them to be far inferior to what my college offered. The...

  11. Drexel University ACE Program Fall 2011 Start

    kdrose01 replied to Jensters's topic in School, College Programs

    My prereqs are from all over: my 4-year college, a few community colleges, another university. I don't know that they consider where you take the courses, since they want to see that you can handle...

  12. BA Degree; Assoc in Nursing or Diploma to BSN

    kdrose01 replied to bsnstudent2rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm sorry, bsnstudent, I completely misread your message this morning. I thought you already had a BA and were considering going back to get a nursing degree. That certainly changes your situation....

  13. Drexel University ACE Program Fall 2011 Start

    kdrose01 replied to Jensters's topic in School, College Programs

    I have a degree in English and was accepted to the ACE program, so they're not looking for a previous science degree. But I have a 4.0 in my prereqs, so I think that's why I gained acceptance. I think...

  14. BA Degree; Assoc in Nursing or Diploma to BSN

    kdrose01 replied to bsnstudent2rn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would skip the diploma and ASN degrees, since 1) many hospitals are on hiring freezes right now, 2) the nurses they are hiring typically have a BSN, 3) with budget cuts, many aren't even helping...

    Just out of curiosity, why are all of you jumping into another undergrad degree when you're just out of

  17. Drexel University ACE Spring 2011

    kdrose01 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, I've been on the fence too, since there's been an issue with my prereqs. I've paid my deposit, but I'm still uncertain as to whether or not I'll actually attend next year, since I'm not positive...

  18. Did being a CNA help you get an RN job?

    kdrose01 posted a topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm planning to begin an accelerated BSN program in Philly next spring (probably Drexel) and am currently a corporate drone in NYC. Since I'm about ready to leave, I was thinking of becoming a CNA and...

  19. Drexel University ACE Spring 2011

    kdrose01 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi emcarder, I'm also moving from the NYC area and am looking for a one bdr or studio. You can look in various areas of the city in order to find cheaper rent, but Center City will be pricey. Since...

    Thanks so much, hiddencat! This information is so helpful and is greatly appreciated. Best wishes to you for your last quarter and finding a job

  22. Drexel University ACE Spring 2011

    kdrose01 replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Elora, You can look in Center City, University City and around South Philly, though I'd advise against any area around Temple University. North Philly is quite yucky. Maybe we'll be classmates next...

    kdrose01 replied to kdrose01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thank you so much, Mommycakers! I really appreciate your response. I'm from the western Philly 'burbs and have several friends there who've had a difficult time finding nursing jobs, even with BSNs...
