  1. Want a Master's Degree With an Oncology Focus but Don't Want to Leave Bedside!

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DuskaRN's topic in Oncology

    Same boat here. Graduated with my BSN December 2011 and have been working in peds oncology since I passed my boards. Want to go back for my masters but have no interest in NP. Was thinking maybe a...

  2. New Graduate RN's at CHOP

    OneDayAttaTime replied to hapahaole's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Do you remember the interviewers' name? If so, DM me I can probably get the info for you. I work at CHOP...was hired as a new grad

  3. CHOP Pipeline Interview Days

    OneDayAttaTime replied to AlyssaAnn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    GO! Yes CHOP is magnet and yes they prefer BSNs but they also knew that you were an ADN candidate from your resume/profile--and that didn't stop them from inviting you!! CHOP gets a gillion...

  4. HESI Exit exam. It's not even my time to take it and I'm so scared!

    OneDayAttaTime replied to glenlorie's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I took the HESI exit exam this past Tuesday. I think the hardest part of it is that it's LONG...it's 160 questions--by about 80 I was starting to get crosseyed. The questions are sorta random, and a...

  5. Five more weeks left in last semester....

    OneDayAttaTime replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    15 more days (and only 5 more days of class). Can't believe when I first started counting it was 706

  6. CHOP Pipeline Interview Days

    OneDayAttaTime replied to AlyssaAnn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The six month full time/temp positions seems to be what CHOP is moving to as far as new grads now. Few units here hire new grads anyway (though the NICU is one of them) and I guess this is at least a...

  7. Are there any evening weekend BSN programs in the philly area?

    OneDayAttaTime replied to ttaylor2607's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Not that I've ever seen/heard of--they're usually dayshift 7a-330p or 7a-7p depending on what rotation it

  8. Lasalle Achieve students/graduates, what was your gpa and nln score going in?

    OneDayAttaTime replied to ThePhilster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I had a 4.0 GPA going in (CCP) and due to a computer glitch, my groups scores were never calculated so I don't know what I got on the NLN (the whole system went down or something and we didn't even...

  9. CCP nursing program-evening?

    OneDayAttaTime replied to meganthomas's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would have to agree with chuckster--I work at a Philadelphia hospital now and with this area being so saturated with nursing schools anyway, employers can have their pick of the litter. They're all...

  10. Winter Grad - When to apply? Also, licensing Q.

    OneDayAttaTime replied to meg26.2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey there, I am in a similar boat--I am a December 2011/January 2012 grad--BUT, I already live here in Philly. I also already work in a hospital here. With that said, I've gotten mixed signals as to...

  11. CCP nursing program-evening?

    OneDayAttaTime replied to meganthomas's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    CCP is a day nursing program--their latest nursing class is like 3-5pm. Though they do say that due to site availability your clinical may be on an evening and/or weekend--that is not the norm. I took...

  12. La Salle ACHIEVE program acceptance!

    OneDayAttaTime replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Once you're in the nursing program at La Salle you need a 75 to pass--74 and below is failing. And yes, I think their minimum GPA is a 3.0 for admission. Apply, I say. If you're concerned about the...

  13. LaSalle University Achieve Program

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DSantosNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Clinicals probably start around the second week(end) of September. You guys will be in the lab for the first few clinicals to do check-offs before you actually go to your site, but you still need to...

  14. LaSalle University Achieve Program

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DSantosNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The pants are like sandpaper lol. That sucks that they won't sell you the patch. I can ask around but like I said, no one wears that thing (labcoat) anymore so I'm not sure who still has theirs handy...

  15. LaSalle University Achieve Program

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DSantosNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi there, Supposedly, it is mandatory to use the vendor. Depending on how scrutinizing your clinical instructor is, they will send you home for being out of uniform (if they can even tell)--and then...

  16. LaSalle University Achieve Program

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DSantosNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Sorry phillygrl, just saw this. You probably have all this info by now but just in case... Clinical uniforms are navy blue. Currently we wear navy blue scrub pants and navy blue polo shirts. There's...

  17. La Salle University's Achieve program Fall 2011?

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DSantosNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    They will actually register you for your first semester. As far as books you can either go to to bookstore or look them up online by course number (you'll be taking NUR 304 and NUR 307), but honestly...

  19. La Salle ACHIEVE questions

    OneDayAttaTime replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats!

  20. La Salle ACHIEVE program acceptance!

    OneDayAttaTime replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    A lot of students buy used books (me myself personally buy brand new from Amazon which is usually about the same price). Or, you can always hook up with someone who's a couple semesters ahead of you...

  21. LaSalle University Achieve Program

    OneDayAttaTime replied to DSantosNJ's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It is what you make of it--some people do really well and others not so much. Even though it's technically part-time it doesn't feel like it. Plus most of us have jobs, kids, etc. It's absolutely...

  22. La Salle ACHIEVE program acceptance!

    OneDayAttaTime replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You actually do not need to already have a bachelor's degree in order to apply for the ACHIEVE program (I

    OneDayAttaTime replied to soraji's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    hope that helps! la salle achieve student, december

  24. Soooo... Are you at a disadvantage at NS? I think I am.

    OneDayAttaTime replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I would have to agree. I work full-time and have lectures at night and clinicals on the weekend. I also have 3 kids (4 if you count my husband), so it is HELLA hard. Nursing school is tough but you...

  25. Is Pharm really that bad?

    OneDayAttaTime replied to HCollier's topic in General Students

    You get out of it what you put into it. Pharm is definitely no cakewalk. You have to read and you have to work hard--but it's doable. We did lose about 7 students after pharm this
