    SydneyJo1 replied to blueelle's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! The program has gone really well. I am almost done, actually, which I can hardly believe. I graduate in May! I don't regret going to Stritch at all. I would recommend it to anyone. As long as...

    SydneyJo1 replied to yooe's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I GOT IN, TOO!!! WHNP/ANP RN Pre-specialty. The letter came while I was at clinical on the ortho unit, and my husband sent me a text. It was SO HARD to control myself and not be a giddy idiot the...

    Yes, I got the financial aid packet. I almost wet my pants!! Then I noticed it was from the financial aid office and got control of myself again. :) I think everyone gets one of those, but it sure...

  10. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    SydneyJo1 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Pdubya, I applied to the dual WHNP/ANP program (RN pre-specialty), and I haven't heard anything or gotten any emails. So maybe this whole interview thing is only for psych, FNP, and midwifery? To...

    The waiting is KILLING ME!!!

  12. Interview outfit--is this ok?

    SydneyJo1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have an interview for a nurse externship in 2 weeks. I was thinking of wearing a black, v-neck cashmere sweater, a black pencil skirt, and heels. With the appropriate accessories, of course...

  13. Interview outfit--is this ok?

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the feedback everyone! You've all given me a lot to consider. Good thing I still have 2 weeks! I wear the cross every day so I never even gave any thought to it--thanks for the heads...

  14. Interview outfit--is this ok?

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Even for an interview? I would never, ever wear the heels to work in a hospital, but I always thought they were fairly standard for interviews. This is why I asked this question in the...

  15. Interview outfit--is this ok?

    SydneyJo1 replied to SydneyJo1's topic in General Nursing

    The v-neck is not very low...kind of your standard, non-cleavage v-neck. The skirt comes to my knee. The heels are 3 inches high. I am trying to figure out how to add color--I used to work in the...

    Thanks for the info! I'd love to hear what you think of the program and school so far. How competitive do you think admission

  17. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    SydneyJo1 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I know Marquette University (which is in my hometown of Milwaukee), does a direct entry MSN for people with non-nursing degrees. Marquette is an excellent school, so you could check that out as

  18. Starting nurse internship but discouraged due to an old write up...

    SydneyJo1 replied to spacy224's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I would have been very upset, too! Especially if you had no idea there were any problems or that anyone thought poorly of you. That's rough! From what you described it seems clear that what she...

  19. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    SydneyJo1 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I asked the admissions person that question, and she said that once you are in the program you can request to change specialties but admission depends upon whether or not there is space available in...

    SydneyJo1 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Did I mention that I hate waiting??????? Pdubya, I am applying to the WHNP/ANP dual program as a RN Pre-Specialty student! Are you already a nurse, or are you entering with a non-nursing BS

  22. Vanderbilt Pre-specialty Fall 2011

    SydneyJo1 replied to SCNP2B's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My goal statement is one page long (spacing is 1.5), and my interview questions are 8 pages long all together. I think there are 6 interview quesitons, and I would say my average response is 3-4...

  23. Best makeup for clinicals?

    SydneyJo1 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    I agree--make sure you aren't overly drying out your skin, or you will be a puddle of oil. :) Also, I use a primer underneath my foundation (which is a compact powder), and that does a great job of...

  24. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    SydneyJo1 replied to cobee's topic in General Students

    I have no idea what the pass rate is, but we started out with about 70 students and now, one semester from graduating, we are down to about 35 or so. I noticed that several people fail each semester,...

  25. What's your school's cut-off for passing?

    SydneyJo1 replied to cobee's topic in General Students

    I agree! It's awful because people who are actually doing fairly well by any other standards can (and do) end up failing. You have to be nearly perfect to get A's. It's
