   amojo99 replied to RnTech29's topic in Western Governors

   there is a pdf file available on the website for the msn program from wgu in education that details the course outline with course summaries and exactly how they are assessed. i would assume there is a similar pdf for the msn leadership program.

2. UPenn accelerated BSN 2011...anyone?

   amojo99 replied to nvsmom's topic in Pennsylvania

   I interviewed last year and it was really informal. I agree with whomever said to have questions ready--I wish I had had more. That being said, good luck to you all. I don't think the interviews can really break you, but I do think it's a great op...

   I'll be there at the open house. If I'm not mistaken, i think most everyone gets an interview. Its a good time to get your questions answered and show yourself off.

4. UPenn accelerated BSN 2011...anyone?

   amojo99 replied to nvsmom's topic in Pennsylvania

   Between the interviews and the admissions decision at the end of January, not much happens. I think I had to turn in a midterm grade report for the classes that were in progress. I submitted my financial aid information after the interview. It was...

   amojo99 replied to nvsmom's topic in Pennsylvania

   I think that Penn really wants us all to succeed in the program, and I feel like there is plenty of support available for those that need it. So far my experience has been positive. Aside from me questioning my decision and my abilities every so oft...

8. Starting Salaries for New Nurses in Philly

   amojo99 replied to BrokeRN's topic in Pennsylvania

   Chloecatrn I get what you're trying to say. I also think that nurses would be more empowered to accept and fight for better wages if they knew what the market was. Hospitals have long had the upper hand in regards to nurses' wages. If people were ...

10. GRE Vocab

    amojo99 replied to puravidaLV's topic in Post Graduate

    for me reading was key. the ny times, ap english style books, and studying vocabulary over time; don't procrastinate. i got a 650 verbal--i didn't think it was a great score until i saw that it was in the 93rd percentile or something. but when the...

14. Johns Hopkins BSN/MSN Fall 2010 Anyone?

    amojo99 replied to Protongirl's topic in Post Graduate

    marinara, from reading threads in previous years, depositing at two schools is not uncommon, especially due to FA issues. you'll just lose out on the money is all. no school can make you go if you choose to rescind your intent of enrollment. i'd...
