    You lucky people, taking the computer version! :) It felt like forever waiting on scores for the paper version-- about three weeks. And nah, not harvard. Another top college, but didn't do me much...

    I don't know if they do the lottery system at all the campuses. I know that when I registered today, she told us that mon/tues lab/lecture was set for us (I thought there was a choice, guess not?) and...

    BTW: are there any other guys lurking around here who are going to be in the Allegheny nursing program? I know there are usually 5 or 6 per program. Hope I'm not the only one

    I guess it pays to have a clean record :) I'm kind of glad that they winnow people out; I for one would not want a nurse or doctor who just skated by on a low

    At one point I called the office where they handle the child abuse clearances and they said that processing is taking a full three weeks. If you have not received it by three weeks, here's their...

    Jasoninpa replied to kmoty01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks for the info. Got my child abuse clearance back today. All I know in regards to the uniforms is that when I went into the store, she told me I had better order them right away because they take...

    Jasoninpa replied to kmoty01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    BTW: does anyone know if we are REQUIRED to get our uniforms from American Discount Uniform? They said it is going to be at least a month-- and I just sent the form yesterday. Scrubs are scrubs are...

    Hi Meowmixer, I got the master stethoscope only because my brother is an RN, and that is what he suggested to me. He has one and says he loves it. lol. And, yes, I had fingerprinting done back in I...

    kg0730, I'm not really sure if it's frowned upon at all to jump straight from the ASN into MSN, rather than going the ASN-BSN-MSN route. I would think not so since the BSN is kind of already...

    Jasoninpa replied to kmoty01's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You can also just do your RN to BSN completely online in less than one additional year-- depending on where you complete it-- while working with your ASN. Most entry-level nursing jobs pay the same...
